Anyone have an idea what the grassy knoll image is supposed to be on the Flier? A couple of those tiles are just ffff with this grassy knoll. I don't think it's intended for foul play.  I believe it is meant aesthetically as a launching point for the bird man. As for including the Crop Circles, someone in their marketing department is using their noodle! |

Those things are indeed small hills for the 'birdman' to jump off.
Even without playing the flier rules, it's nice to have some FFFF tiles in play when playing regular Carc with these tiles thrown in.

Hello Carcking,
I think the grassy knoll is a small hill where the flyer starts.

My guess it would be just something to give the little flyer something to jump off of to get airbourne. Edit: opps, didn't notice there was a next page! |

I'm definitely looking forward to these. My initial reaction to seeing the ferries was disappointment ("A rectangle? That's it?!?"), but actually it sort of makes sense since the road pieces in Catan look just like that. Also very happy that the Corn Circle tiles are completely different from the first set which I bought from Cundco.

Hi guys,
New to posting in this forum but have been checking it regulary for months. Thought i would pass on a message, earlier today i got an newsletter email from cunco.de.
It had news of the mini expansions and that they will be on show at the nürnberg toy fair. Hopefully meaning the release will be soon after.
Also had info about the website store which now has two new spare part sections, although my german is not great so struggling to find out about it but looks like you should be able to order single and sets of meeple plus spare tiles from all hig carc sets. The website shows the options to add them to the basket but cant see a full list of the parts availbe but from the images looks like quite a few.
Last point it mentions is that they are designing two new storage boxes for your carcassonne collections, the designs will be annouced soon but should be one cheap and one expensive.
If anyone wants i can try and post the email here, altho its in german.
Looking forward to what looks like a good few carc expansions.

Welcome to the forums Shimmydave. That's interesting news. You can also check out www.carcassonneshoppe.com. It's run by one of our members and has much of what you describe. I'm looking forward to that storage box info. I believe the Jay from RGG said that these would be available in March or April, so it looks like we won't have to wait too long for sure. |

Consider me very interested. Hopefully they hold everything; the last company that offered a box had a bit of room to grow but the Catapult screwed everything up. |

Thanks for looking out CK  ... I am excited to see these boxes too, but I sure hope HiG doesn't squash what I have been trying to accomplish in the Shoppe with dealing spare parts  |

I dont think you have to worry too much about cundco, you offer alot more on your site. The cundco site is also in german and i think they only ship within the EU.
On the box front i think the cheaper option will be aimed at being portable allowing you to easily take your carc with you. Hopefully it will contain space for the whole collection, base game and expansions.

I use Google Chrome and so when I go to the cundo site it automatically translates it to english. Well an approximation of english as word for word translations don't always work out too well.
So yesterday a pacjage i ordered 3 weeks ago arrived in New Zealand with The School, the stickers, and 5 sheets of blank tiles. Now to print of some fan-spansions

Does anyone know if these will be sold on-line anywhere? And if they send internationally?
