The tiles: I need more "blanc" tiles - that means I remove the graphics from the new edition - and then I have 42 new blanc tiles.
This is awesome. About as vindictive as you can be without actually burning a copy. Love it!
HiG, KJW and Udo know what I like to do with the tiles and they know that I really do this.

My winter edition crop circles arrived today, just in time for a game this afternoon. Although I've said before that I didn't think crop circles was a great choice, it's still nice to have some new winter tiles as I love the winter edition artwork in general. For this mini-expansion, I really like the cloister tile with the pitchfork and deer.

Game report to come :)

I can't wait until the spoiler removed when the brettspiel advent calendar finally confirms the name of this expansion because they're not crop circles as there's only grass underneath. A more accurate name would be the melted snow expansion...

Pretty crafty of the postman to sneak a copy of the Catapult in there too, just because he/ she couldn't get rid of it elsewhere... ;)

Hello Rosco, we have participated in the same auction on ebay on ebay.de, I've been tempted until the last minute to raise the offer, if I had known it was you I would not have participated, maybe you could save money.
A knight is sworn to valour.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked.

Ah.  Never mind. Was there anything you wanted particularly?

Rosco are you looking to on-sell any of this (especially from the Big Box)? I'm going to get my Basically Wooden travel box in early Feb when I'm next in the UK. I haven't fully decided what expansions I want to put in it yet but for starters I'd need another copy of the base game, and you have a lot of other potentially interesting stuff in here that I assume are duplicates.

Yes I am selling almost everything on.  I really bought it for the tunnels.

However,  I need to make back what I spent and I don't want to charge my CC friends as much as I need so please don't be annoyed if my prices are a bit high.

The best thing would be to send me a PM with an offer and I will let you know.  Some items are already promised out so be quick.

Just realised that that is the Big Box 1. Very nice find!

Well, it's official: I hate somebody. The postal worker, DHL, Cundco, someone. I ordered my 5 boxes of Star Wars Carcassonne (and assorted other items) on October 23rd, I got an email that they had shipped on November 11th or so. I haven't heard anything since. I've emailed CundCo twice to get some form of update but they've never responded. Now it is Christmas Eve before a three-day holiday weekend. Even if I get it, it won't be until Monday now. .:.sigh.:. And I could have gotten Star Wars Carcassonne for much cheaper from German Amazon had I just waited a week........  :'(

Really sorry to hear that whaleyland :( Hopefully it will have been worth the wait when it does eventually arrive...

At last I have an answer from CundCo! As expected, they sent the package to the wrong address—a domestic address—so they got it returned at some point over the past two months and for some reason never contacted me (thanks CundCo!). They got back to me with 12 hours this time, though, and said they would resend it and said I could add three mini expansions for the trouble. So it looks like I'll get something out of this after all, yay! Still, what a pain. I'm just glad they are friendly and helpful once the email gets through to them. I'll give another update when I finally receive this sucker.

Can your postman dig a hole through the Earth to make Cundco shipping cheaper?
