Carcassonne box

[Novelty]

I'm thinking of getting the carcassonne box from http://www.carcassonnebox.com/ and I'm just wondering if anyone has any reviews for the box, especially post A&M and KC&C.  Does "everything" now fit into the box?

Here is a review:

Joff, I saw that, but it the review was dated in October 2007, before A&M and KC&C were released.  I was hoping someone here has a box so that I could direct more questions at... but since Deatheux chased Paulman away, I guess I'll have to find someone else.

I was thinking about getting one a few months ago. I would imagine it will be the same though, as this new eBay one has images which appear to show the box has not changed internally:

Can I post this link? Is this official merchandise or just 'junk'?

Digging around, the site says that only 10 expansions will fit in the box.  Doesn't say anything about A&M, KC&C or the upcoming CS&C.

[Joff]

I would imagine that other expansions would have to be placed inside the Tower tile holder

Well, I don't know... there seems quite a bit of space left in the tiles area.  What I'm wondering is if the 3x6 extra meeples from A&M fits into the bag as well.

man that sucker is expensive... 60 bucks plus shipping from England?? no way...

Maybe if someone contacted them and got a group buy going and he can lower the price on them I would order 2.

for now, the carcassonne big box fits ALL TILES but 10 maybe 12 more tiles and it will be overloaded!!

Click further and you will see there is room for 70 additional tiles:

I would like to get one, but it would probably be too expensive.

[Novelty]

Thanks Scott!  So, A&M = 6additional Abbey tiles + 12 tiles
KC&C = 5 shrine tiles or Spielbox = 5 shrine tiles
CS&C will have 12 tiles

70 - 12 - 5 - 12 = 41 slots spare so it should be able to take a few more expansions worth of tiles (before one has to use the space in the tower for storage).

I am still wondering if there is space (in the bags and in the box) for the extra meeples from A&M...

[Joff]

So, are you gonna get it then???

[Novelty]

I'm getting more inclined to get it, but I think I'll wait until after Das Katapult to find out if I'll need the extra room for a working catapult

Can I post this link? Is this official merchandise or just 'junk'?

Although tongue-in-cheek, I think I should address that it is fine to post anything Carc-related, even if not official as long as it is not advertised as such. Our rules about commercial advertising are meant to discourage Viagra, land for sale in Florida, magic beans, etc.

[Joff]

Interesting... actually I have some magic beans for sale...
