New Carcassonne box out in Germany - including new version of "Die Katharer"

[JT Atomico]

And what will happen in the meantime is that those who can buy the game will be buying it up and selling it on eBay for increasingly ridiculous prices while there's demand. I'd rather my money was going to HiG than some guy on eBay but I do feel kind of forced into this position at present.

+1 to this. Like I said in an earlier post, I don't mind having to buy an extra copy of the base game. However the short supply and inaccessability of a just released expansion is frustrating. If it were available online I would be happy to pay the price and postage.

I just got this reply from Mueller about availability online (translated from German by Google):

Since we are a chain store companies, we unfortunately have no way to ship the products to you. Thus, online ordering is not possible, as we offer no online shop on our website.

So we are left with eBay... and the good graces of German members of this forum! Are any of you willing to buy a few copies for the people on this topic interested in getting hold of one?

Add me to the list of those who would appreciate some kind souls in Germany picking up some copies for us poor, unfortunate US members! My PayPal is at the ready!

Will you do it for a non-German European as well?

@danisthirty...you've just about nailed every thought and sentiment I have on the topic...great minds...

Apparently there's a first run of only 1.000 copies for Mueller's 60th anniversary.

I've got this information directly from Moritz Brunnhofer (HiG) by call today.

[danisthirty]

What implications will this have on whether the Die Belagerer tiles will be released on Cundco? Also, is there any chance that this will be the same expansion that Spielbox are running next month?

This message comes from our CarcF and relies on statements of Moritz Brunnhofer.

Muellers has around 650 stores on German and international terrain. Everyone can figure out how many pieces of the game are in each store.

I think they're both gone already because the links don't work.

[Hylian87]

No, they're still available, somehow the link is not working properly... Just copy the link from my post and paste it into a new page.

[Whaleyland]

Even copying and pasting didn't work for me. I had to copy the item code and open a different item them change the code. Weird. In any case, I was hoping it was for the whole box. I'm not going to pay

[wicke]

One Belagerer just went for 22.50 Euro on Ebay plus 3 Euro shipping.
The prices are going down....

[danisthirty]

I was watching this one too. The prices are indeed falling although it's frustrating that more people don't/ won't use PayPal as it costs a flat rate of 10 pounds to pay via direct bank transfer internationally from the UK. I would happily pay a bit more to cover the PayPal fees but I guess it's up to the seller how they receive payment...

...on ebay was sold a copy of the box for 50 euro
