I think this is one of the first Kickstaters I have been involved in where the Brits got their packages long before the US and Canada! I received my package, containing 17 copies of Coup (I ran a grouo buy), Flash Point and the Snowdonia expansion on Saturday 9 November.

Yes, I got everything in one package about a month and a half ago - Coup, Flash Point and the Snowdonia expansion. Haven't actually tried out the Snowdonia expansion as yet though. Perhaps over Christmas.

As for me, I haven't felt so ignored as a non-White person for a long time. I had an entire day of 'don't know', 'ask that other person', or 'I'll come back to you later'. The only person whom I managed to have more than one line of conversation was the Dutch national champion, who talked to me in a friendly, but slightly condescending manner, but at least he bothered to talk to me.

I made some purchases, but otherwise I gave up and went to Duesseldorf where people spoke to me politely in Japanese.

That is absolutely disgraceful. I am very sorry you had that negative experience

I have Seafarers, Cities and Knights and Traders and Barbarians. Traders and Barbarians is really a set of modular mini-expansions that you can add in as you feel. Seafarers is more of the same (although you are exploring uncharted territory (hidden hexes), which is good fun. Cities and Knights changes the game and makes it into more of a gamers game; some don't like it this way, but I have found it quite enjoyable.

One thing I personally won't do though is play with more than 4 players - the 5/6 player expansions spoil the game.

I think you'll find that Whaleyland is the guy who can best advise about Catan expansions

It's not exactly that good and I don't really like it. I'll refresh it when I get a better scan.

I doubt you've noticed, but I have also adjusted each logo - correcting the 't' and the 'l' of the font. They are both a little higher now.
