I'm disappointed these lovely tiles won't be made publicly available in the future since the art is being corrected across the expansions.
I've been thinking about this recently too. I'm considering getting duplicate copies of the base game and some of the main expansions in the old artwork while I still can just in case anything happens to my existing tiles.
It is a pity that Big Box 5 does not contain Abbey and Mayor then it would have made up what I consider to be the core set of must have Carcassonne.

A&M is in Big Box 2 & 3 - the only difference between the two seems to be that 2 has King, Count and Robber and 3 has Bridges, Castles and Bazaars. They both contain the base game, I&C, T&B, P&D and A&M. So overall, I think Big Box 2 is the one that suits me the most, but I imagine it's pretty hard to find these days.
Somehow i find it strange that there are 5 boxes with more then 60% the same content.

But each big box is meant to 'replace' the previous one, not compliment it, i.e. a customer is only supposed to ever buy one big box. But then they went and put exclusive stuff into BB5 to completely go against that idea.
It's only the completionist sickos like us who would consider buying an entire Big Box just for a slightly different set of tiles that we already have!

It sounds like you are trying to shame the obsessive compulsives -tsk tsk - surely we deserve the same understanding and compassion as all those other people who "have issues"

In a few weeks I'll show you crazy compulsive purchase, and yes, what I have bought so far is nothing compared to what's coming.

I&C and T&B are considered the "essential" expansions by most players, and probably also by the distributors. So, they put them in any Big Box.
