Anyone know where to get Orange phantom meeples? And also, maybe crystal clear?

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.

I actually spoke with Cynthia at Meeple Source about this and she said they are currently looking for someone who is able to produce the 'phantom' meeples for them.

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...

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. Smiley
I own ten orange and ten light blue Phantom meeples:



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.

They look a bit rough around the edges, but they get the job done  Smiley . Do you recall where you got them? eBay is not coming up with any.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to watch for them there. Did they use Carcassonne in the description?

By the way, are you ready to sell yours?   Smiley

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).

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.

No, definitely not. If you search German ebay, use the string "Spielstein*".

No, of course not. Wink
