General / What's your Carcassonne status?

Hi all,
It's been a while since I've been here -
My question is - where is everyone at, with Carcassonne now?
Are you complete with your Carcassonne (original version) collection and 'done' now but enjoy keeping up with Carc news?
Are you just starting your collection?
Are you awaiting any new mini-expansions?
Are you bored (I feel dirty even typing that!!) of Carc and have gone on to new pastures?
For me, I'll always love Carcassonne, however after lots of real life things (mainly moving house and the lots of DIY that follows....) and lots of time not on here, I've come back and assessed my collection with new eyes. I've got/had pretty much all of the original version, however I've come to liking the new artwork and in fact found it actually easier to explain rules such as farming to new-to-gaming audiences as its the boundaries are more clearly defined. That's not to say that I dislike the old art - it's still my favourite!
In fact I'm going through my Carc collection and shall be selling on old art bits and pieces and look to acquire the new, as well as broaden my overall board game collection. Subconsciously it may also be that I enjoy the collecting element too much!
