I was able to obtain a good (box scuffs) to mint condition (game materials), unpunched, Big Box (1) by RGG. I wanted this particular version since it has the original artwork style (which I've never owned), and included the tower. Interestingly, not only did it include "the river" as mentioned on the box cover, it also contained "the River II" in one those mini boxes. I don't recall seeing this mentioned in the wiki, and I doubt the seller just tossed it in, but who knows.
Lucky find!
The seller may have forgotten the River II... It is not the first time that you buy something and you find nice surprises like this. The seller may have gotten separatelly and stored it in the Big Box and later forgot about it.
Enjoy this glorius Big Box!!!
My first experience with Carcassonne was the 20th edition (just to see if I liked it), then Mists (Wife and I love playing that), and then buying lots of stuff from cundco (and trying to find all C3 with round corner prints). Even though this big box has a lot of wasted space, it's miles better than the galaxy of waste from BB7.
Knowing all the wasted space in Big Boxes, BB7 was designed so you can store tuck boxes with minis inside. This is far better than the plastic inserts in previous Big Boxes trying to fill the space.
I might be able to contain myself until next year when maybe all the newly republished stuff will show up in the USA. But missing out on the Pink and Purple meeples for players 7 and 8 is an itch that is starting.
You may get full wooden meeple sets in extra colors on Cundco... Pick your in:
