jalle, I hope you get something interesting, like a red or yellow barn or something! I'm sad that he's closing down  |

That is sad. Has anyone contacted meeplepeople.com about A&M meeples? If not, I will send one off in hopes we receive a new source for those parts.

I think it is a good idea to send meeplepeople.com an email about the A&M meeples. Go ahead and send them an email Lakoda. I await to hear the answers from them!

Email sent, I inquired about A&M meeples and tower pieces. I am not going to hold my breath though, there is not a lot of incentive for them to reply (especially if they have not done so in the past).

The people at meeplepeople.com and the German ebay guy must be getting the parts direct from the manufacturer. If anyone here has a good relationship with the German fellow (or any relationship at all, for that matter), it might be worth asking for his supplier? After all, he is closing up shop and has no reason to keep that information private any longer. Just a thought.

I find it hard to believe that the manufacturer is not known. Is this the case?

I have attempted to find out on numerous occasions who exactly is the company that manufactures the wooden pieces. I only know a couple of facts: 1) The game pieces are made in Germany. 2) The factory supplies pieces for lots of different 'euro' games. They certainly make pieces for Carcassonne (and spin-offs), Settlers of Catan, Stone Age, Agricola. My guess is that HiG use them for all their games, and I guess that would go for Kosmos also.

What? We don't have an insider at HiG that can feed us the info?
Outrageous!!!

Hmm... how about someone sending an email to Jay of RGG to ask him about the meeples? Perhaps he will reply. He has replied in the past about a number of things and he is quite nice to deal with from my experience asking him about CS&C. Any volunteers?

From what I've heard, the german "meeple-seller" is working for the manufacturer but his selling is somewhat on the "side" and not official, so that's why there is an amount of secrecy here. It might not be a good idea to dig that deep into this.
