Just to let everyone know in case they want to add to their order that the following are also available:

little buildings (2012/5)
Meeple stickers (2011/4)
2 labyrinth tiles (Spieldoch 2016/1)

I have had my eye on 2015/5 for the flatiron expansion (New York 1901), so I got that, the tunnels, the plague, and I had room for one more magazine before the shipping price doubled. I didn't want the stickers, so I flipped a coin and little buildings lost out to the labyrinth tiles.

I must be as crazy as you all... $33 for 12 Carcassonne tiles and 1 new building + 3 cards for NY 1901. I guess the good news is that I can read 2 of the magazines.

Wow, great stuff! Ordered

This is fantastic! Thank you Kettlefish!

I've been so tempted to order the tunnels on eBay auctions a few times over the last few months, glad I held out now. I managed to get the plague a while ago but great news for that as well.

This might actually complete my collection excluding spin offs (at least in my eyes…)

Thank you kettlefish.

Excited about receiving the Tunnels!

At first I was thinking there was a compilation available of those two. Like count kings and consorts. Still its weird that spielbox didnt do that. Wasn't that one of the things you once hinted kettlefish? With all your secret talks with spielbox haha? Or did you knew this was coming for a long time?

I told the community again and again "please wait - and please don't buy at ebay". At Spiel'14 in Essen I had an interview with Barbara Nostheide from Spielbox and I said to her that the CC-fans need these expansions...
This year is a great year for the game Carcassonne - it has the "Spiel des Jahres" prize since 15 years - it is a good time to re-publish some of the old mini-expansions.
The spielbox is a magazine - so they have found some of the old and sold out magazines in their cellar...
Now the community can buy the magazines included the mini-expansions for a human price.

Thats very good of you that you did this. I knew by your comments that something was going on.
Seems we can't go without you kettlefish. Thank you very much!

Thank you for this

! I just ordered Little Buildings, Labyrinths, The Tunnel and The Plague. Collecting Carcassonne is becoming quite expensive, the other day I received Haflings I and I, The Wind Roses, The School, German Castles, The Festival, German Cathedrals, Wheel of Fortune and some extra meeples.

Ok so Cundco found some besiegers in the basement and now Spielbox found some magazines in the basement. Is "found in the basement" German for "we reprinted them"? If so, why not just reprint all of the expansions and sell them together? If they add something new, we would all probably buy it even though we had most of what was in there.
