Does anyone know when RGG will be releasing this? I'm really excited about it!
Or...does anyone know how to obtain it from HiG? Someone was selling it on eBay, but it was going for 5.60 USD + about $10 shipping.
If RGG will be coming out with this in a few weeks, excellent!! But, there isn't any new news on the RGG website since March...
Maybe I'm just being impatient.
Thank you!!

Jay mentioned it many months ago but when I asked him in August he claimed he knew nothing about it. Convenient. Perhaps he's rethinking it since yet another expansion is being released by Spielbox. Or maybe he's waiting for after Essen to see if anything else is announced. If you want to get them, Der Tunnel is the easier option. You can still order the magazine with the expansion directly from Spielbox. Here's the link: http://www.nostheide.de/webshop/xtcommerce/product_info.php?info=p126_spielbox-2009-6.html&XTCsid=2b00989c6bfa3b7d7e0b284d09592280. Now getting Die Kornkreise is cheaper but more difficult. I had to use an intermediary since they don't ship to the United States (it's Rio Grande's domain). You need to dig up €5.00 (cash) and send it to Hans im Glück's customer support center with a request for the expansion and a self-addressed card (they will stamp this on the package and ship it back to you). The hitch is, if you live in outside of Europe, the self-addressed card has to go to your friend in Europe who then needs to forward it on to you, paying the additional shipping fees as well. Rather a pain, but it does work. The address to send the money to is: Hans im Glück Verlag GmbH Birnauerstr. 15 80809 München Germany I hope that helps. I don't think there is any easier way right now to do it. I've got both expansions, but I got Tunnel when I lived in Europe (so it all was much cheaper). Crop Circles I followed the instructions above, but I was worried the entire time that my money would get lost, HiG wouldn't do it, or it would get lost in the mail. Apparently HiG doesn't really care, as long as it ships to Europe. |

Well, I have Der Tunnel, and I ordered the new Spielbox magazine with Die Pest in it.
Interesting about Hans im Glück sending the expansions out...
Anyone in Europe want to be my friend so I can get Die Kornkreise?? Please?!
Thank you, thank you!

Bump - I would very much appreciate it if someone would be willing to order this for me. I would send a PayPal first, of course.
Thanks in advance,
Joshua

Um, it cost me like €14.00 or so, but took about a month to arrive. I sent two €5.00 requests with the same sendto address but different names. I sent them three days apart to vary the arrival in Germany. HiG then forwarded the package to my friend in Britain who kept one copy and sent me the other, thereby covering the shipping cost via a trade (shipping for a copy of the expansion). Find a friend in Europe, and buy them a copy or pay them for the shipping.

Probably e-bay. That and Tunnels are the only two things I don't have. I don't think you could ever actually just "buy them", I think they were special things. I can't remember where each one was from; I think one (or maybe both) were in Spielbox magazine like "The Plague". Or maybe Crop Circle was put in the core set when it was re-released. Not sure actually.
I they they are supposed to come out from RGG sometime this year.

I finally got a copy. I purchased it on eBay, and paid around $18.00 for one copy. It was shipped from someone in Germany and was a Buy It Now, rather than an auction.
There are 2 copies on eBay right now, one ending in 8 hours and one in 5 days. (Search "Die Kornkreise" under worldwide.
Completed listings range from about $18.00 to $35.00. IIRC, I emailed Jay at Rio Grande Games about a release date - I believe he said '2011'.
