My desire is to have completeness without duplication.

Now you just have to define what duplication means to you

For example, Cathars, Siege and Besiegers are the same expansion, mechanically. The artwork is slightly different, though, and Besiegers has two more tiles. So would you like just one or perhaps all three? Unfortunately, all three are now hard to find.

While we're on this topic:

I don't think the new reprint of Hunters & Gatherers contains the 5 additional tiles from the Scout expansion. Some some people may still want to pick it up.

The Z-man website says it contains only 72-tiles, although the rules say 79, 79 is the correct count.

BGG says the Devir release contains the Scout expansion.

Anyone know for certain?

The old Devir version did indeed contain the Scout expansion. Not sure about the reprint.

Devir also has a habit of including expansions in ways that other publishers don't, so it's always possible.

Hello Thodekey,

I will keep an eye out for you, as those two are still on my Wish List as well.

My Wish List:

• The Tunnels - (2009)
• The Plague - (2010)
• The Corn Circles - (2010)
• The Corn Circles II - (2012)
• The Cathars - (2013)
• The Besiegers - (2014)

I guess my Wish List isn't as bad as it could be, seeing that I was just introduced to Carcassonne for the first time, one week ago, on the afternoon of Saturday, April 22nd, 2017.

Have a Miraculous Day!

my biggest concern is that the shipper is i-Parcel

Well, things are looking positive. UPS (real UPS) has my package now, it's in New Jersey, and the delivery date was updated to next Wednesday (ahead of schedule). It looks like maybe the initial "delivery" date they list is the date they expect to receive the handoff from i-Parcel. Then, whenever that happens, they update everything. That would make some sense to software developers and route planners, but unfortunately it is not good information for the customer interface. They should label it differently if it isn't really a delivery date.

Of course you never know what will happen when UPS hands off to USPS, but for now things appear to be on track.
