General / Big Box 5!!! ;D

« on: December 14, 2021, 12:18:36 PM »

I know it's probably not something anyone particularly cares about, but just wanted to share something I'm feeling super excited about with like minded people. I just managed to convince someone in another state on Facebook to send me Big Box 5!!! Cost me $105 including postage (which is still cheaper than the original retail price). I'm so excited though as I have been trying to find OG artwork Hills and Sheep for years ever since I was too stingy to buy it in the shop when it came out.
So not only do I get that, but I also get the two extra sets of meeple, river 3, wheel of fortune all of which I don't have, but I'll also finally have copies of the original 2 expansions with the expansion logos on them. I have the original ones and find it so difficult trying to separate the expansions from the main game with no logo.
This box was the perfect one for me. My Carcassonne life finally feels complete after all these years. So, so happy!

Obviously postage will vary, but just purchased all these in stock at retail prices (unfortunately the shipping really hurt in some instances), but thought it might help to share what is available.

Still really hoping to find Original Artwork Hills & Sheep, Beseigers and Corn Circles 1 one day, but it's feeling like that might not happen.

Do you have a current update on what's still available? There's a few things on your list I might be interested in, but no idea what may or may not have been sold by PM. :-D

General / Quantity of each expansion

« on: November 28, 2021, 07:01:32 PM »

While I purchased all the major C1 expansions back in the day (aside from Hills & Sheep which I am still very annoyed about), it has been many years since i've cracked everything out to play. I'm really excited to get back into playing once we've moved house, but one question has been bugging me...
Does everyone feel that one copy of each expansion is enough to implement the new features/rules or do you think multiple copies are required for them to not feel too diluted? I always treated expansions like a video game expansion that one copy is enough, but what have most of you done in relation to gathering expansions? One of each or multiple?
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I found through another forum on here a link to Halfmoon Games in Finland which had them. The postage was 20 euros. Wasn't great. But at lease I ended up getting them including postage for about $22 Australian dollars each (Also got some pink trains for Ticket To Ride) which is better than the $100 odd dollars they are charging on the Australian ebay site. Now just need to track down this elusive Hills And Sheep!

If anyone is selling or know where I can buy these expansions from I would be eternally grateful. I don't mind what language they are as long as its the original artwork. I understand I probably wont be paying retail price for them right now, but somethin within reality unlike ebay listings would be nice. :-) Thanks for any advice even though I know its a long shot.'
In Australia, so postage will be a consideration too.
