With when I got into Carcassonne, as well as my first set missing the meeples, I chose the 'cheaper' option at MeepleSource and got 50 meeples.  With that, I painted 40 of them for a normal set and had 12 left to do whatever with, so with a mirror ball top coat 6 of the remainder became phantoms.  Of course, after I completed the set of my custom phantoms (right after I painted them on the friday the postman came with my Carc 2 stuff) I saw a set of 8 clear that I could have used to do a phantom set too, but I'm all out of money in my bank XD (some of it went towards some promos on BGG for other games that I own and some of it went to a deck of cards from Artscow for a PNP game that I got from BGG and want to complete)

I don't need all boxes, but I have them all. I bought them on ebay , someone wanted to get rid of some phantom-expansions together.

After 40 votes - I doubt this is going to change much:

30 of you think 1 is just fine (I don't believe it), while only 5 of you (us) think you need all of them to be complete.

I'm surprised no one voted for the jubilee considering how many of you described them, although I think some of you acquired them from resellers of the jubilee edition.

Anyway, it's great to hear your thoughts and opinions!

We're moving on in quick succession to another favouritism poll:

What's your favourite spin-off score-track?

Goes without saying that a true collector gets every deviation of one item. :) Also, I am glad I was able to acquire them all at the local store.

I have all sets with eight meeples in each colour. I had to buy a bulk lot in order to get complete translucent sets, but I love playing with them.
Whatever I'm doing, I'd rather be playing Carcassonne!

I went for option 1. Like it says on our profile page "Small expansion (2011) - collect all 6" :)

I have all 6 of the phantom cases, and have complete sets of phantoms (8 ) in about 10 or 11 different colours.

Like almost everyone else, one does me just fine. I was lucky and got my player colour (blue) which probably helped me feel satisfied with this.

I can see why people would want all 6, they do look really good together, but I'm not really a completionist outside of playable items.
