Title: Orange Phantom meeples Post by: Carcking on October 17, 2011, 09:43:52 am Anyone know where to get Orange phantom meeples? And also, maybe crystal clear?
Title: Re: Orange Phantom meeples Post by: Scott on October 17, 2011, 02:08:14 pm I wouldn't expect these to be available anywhere. Because they're plastic, the manufacturing process is completely different and probably new suppliers would need to be sourced.

Title: Re: Orange Phantom meeples Post by: CKorfmann on October 19, 2011, 11:50:01 am No problem. I'll be sure to post if I hear anything. I doubt they'd get back to me though, we might just see them pop up on the site if it works out.
I wonder if they are cut or molded... Title: Re: Orange Phantom meeples Post by: Scott on October 20, 2011, 02:23:52 pm I suspect they're molded, but I wonder if they could be extruded and then the extrusion cut into individual meeples.

I think this does not meet exactly the point. :)I own ten orange and ten light blue Phantom meeples: (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i57/PresetM/orangeandlightbluemeeples.png) They were available on ebay some month before. The light blue meeples are two mm thicker than the normal ones but the orange meeples have the usual size. Title: Re: Orange Phantom meeples Post by: Carcatronn on October 25, 2011, 12:40:55 pm They look a bit rough around the edges, but they get the job done :) . Do you recall where you got them? eBay is not coming up with any.

Did they use Carcassonne in the description? By the way, are you ready to sell yours? :) Title: Re: Orange Phantom meeples Post by: PresetM on October 27, 2011, 06:39:47 am Quote They look a bit rough around the edges It is exactly the same quality like the five basic color ones (sorry for the reflections of my scanner - I don't have a digital camera).Quote Do you recall where you got them? Unfortunately I don't remember who was the seller (the only thing I know: it was a German seller). The auction took place shortly after the Celebration expansion were released. So I assumed, additional colors will be available in short time. I remember I have looked on ebay for several weeks in the hope to get some more colors, but there were no auctions anymore. Additionally I searched in the web the shops of all known dealers of board game accessories. With no result. I fear, I cannot help.Quote Did they use Carcassonne in the description? No, definitely not. If you search German ebay, use the string "Spielstein*".Quote By the way, are you ready to sell yours? No, of course not. ;) |
