Wow that looks great.  I especially like the river tile.  There used to be a bunch of gristmills and quarries where I live.  I wish I had the artistic talents of the folks on this site.

I merited Astargoth.   :(y)

Thanks guys, I really enjoyed making it, and it's great fun to use.

If you manage to use them in a game you'll have to let us know how you get on:

They look awesome. I'll definitely try to print them. Let's see how it comes out.

Had a nice haul the past week, so I thought I'd post it on here :)

The highlights being the Dutch Wof which I managed to get quite cheaply and a Broken Token insert - very pleased with those. Now I have one full base game with BT insert and the WoF with BT insert. I'll have to follow up in the storage thread how my setup looks  ^-^

Also in the week's haul Mr Postman delivered the one-piece Count of Carc tile and the two bags from Cundco (the small one was for WoF tiles, however the WoF seller gave me a brand new base game bag too!), as well as Keyflower Keyceleste mini expansion and the silly but fun Alvin/Dexter Ticket to Ride expansion.

Nice haul toasty!

I bought 2 sets of the Broken Token inserts and other than the very snug fit, I am very happy with them. Do be careful you don't split a box corner, they are tight.

Wanna play Carc? Can we add just one more expansion?

My Cundco order arrived!

Wolnic and Astargoth are so kind to help me with printing their fanexpansions (The Coast and Industries respectively) so I'll be sending them blank tiles along with a surprise (Monasteries for Astargoth, other surprise for Wolnic). Excited to see the finished product!

Next to those, I've ordered the City of Carcassonne start tile and the Windroses.

Well....this was the hardest thing to get hold of. (apart from those damn purple and black school meeples! arghghghg!)

I had to track down a contact in Russia who posted on some forums out there that he wanted to buy it for me. So after a couple of months of back and forth we eventually found one and with postage it cost £27...which i think is pretty good actually!!!

so here it is. the FINAL tiles in my entire collection.

i now own every single carcassonne tile made (barring spin offs as not bothered about them)

Carcassonne Winter Edition in Russian - limited edition!




The inside of the box has a certificate showing that it's number 1552 of 3000 made




Interestingly, the gingerbread man piece is a small cardboard cut out of the gingerbread man, instead of the Europe release of the little wooden meeple.




So that's it!

i'm done!

apart from those two school meeples there is nothing left for me to collect currently out there....time to organise properly
must...collect...more...tiles....

You don't count Winter Edition as a spin-off?

Dan. Well my theory is that if it has the exact same rules as the original then its not a spin off. so that's more a retheme, but its not really a retheme either. It's just different art. So i categorise it within the new art categories.

giving me: Original Art, New art and Winter art. All forming a collection of base carcassonne.

it's an interesting one for sure!

Sure, here you go - this picture, however is missing all of the travel sets, demo sets, winter sets, tile bags and my monster collection of scoreboards, wheels of fortune and 3 different shaded towers.

it doesn't actually look THAT big. but in total its:

129 expansions, base sets and additional pieces - as i mentioned above, the only things missing are a purple and black school meeple.

I'll put some proper photos on over the weekend when i've organised EVERYTHING once and for all.

the boxes below are all organised with basically wooden tile trays and boxes, and i had bespoke dividers made for all the expansions. from top left going clockwise are:

- Original 1st edition with all expansions with NO watermarks (so the first 5) - this needs the two rivers adding which i have in a drawer

- New Art editions. So...base set, promos and the expansions, I+C,T+B,P+D and A+M - bespoke dividers from BW for the new editions

- then there's the big basically wooden box with every single old art style item in it. so thats every expansion, meeple colour and several scoreboards etc etc. this is so heavy!!! - i had a couple of bespoke dividers made for the PC version of the river, the different siege tile versions, and some others!

- finally at the bottom left is the russian box. all of these BW dividers have a K on them to denote russian versions (tiles have K on back instead of C) and this is every single tile and expansion from russia. i need to get one more tile tray from BW to fit in the winter edition i just finally managed to get!

I am interested in the be trays to use it with the original box but on their web page they don't offer that option. How do you buy them?

Thanks.

Wow clownfeet. How do you get the patience to put everything back so well organized, looking at your meeples...

Hah. My wife says the same thing. And laughs whilst I'm sat there packing everything away.... I just can't put things back on my shelf unless I know they are sorted properly, it would actually eat me up inside...  I think I might have a problem.
