I got my expansions today (16 expansions in total) and I was quite happy with what I got... I laid all the sticker sheets out and only had about 4 or 5 duplicates! (each one has 3 sheets in it, so out of 48 sheets, only a few duplicates as nice!), I was really worried about hearing here there were so many people getting the same things over and over again!
Now, just to clarify, that isn't to say some units dont appear on more than one sheet, for example, I have some sheets that have a Harpy on them, but the other 6 units dont match, etc. I was pleased with what I ended up with though, I'll search my stickers and see if there are any units I have that are not listed here and let you know!
In case anyone is wondering, I ordered mine from an online seller on BGG (rsolow), he is a great guy (Robert) and goes the extra mile to help out... He also has great prices. I did not order directly from Columbia Games as many people have said they did.
From what Robert told me, it sounds like he had a stack of them in his inventory, but not enough to fill my order, so he ordered the rest of them in from his distributor. It appears as though I got an excellent mix of first and second wave stickers because of this (with the inventory Robert had on hand being from the first wave and the new batch from his distributor being from the second).
With that being said, the changes of that happening to me again will probably be slim, the more I think about it, the more I realize that if I order another big lot, it will probably be all series 2?! I dont know, what do you all think?
I REALLY wish Columbia would get on the ball and just post a list. Who cares if there are not "hundreds" of them available now, I think what happened was they got the "over 300" number in everyones head, so everyone rushed out and bought a crap load of the expansions, only to discover that maybe 120 of them or so were out, apparently coming in 'waves' as talked about in other messages...
EDIT: Note to Chris Farrell, I haven't had a chance to sit down with them all yet and review the info in the Wiki, but should by this afternoon and I will confirm what the deal is... I think that (like with Merv and Fredrik I ended up getting lucky with a mix of 1st and 2nd "wave" decals) I really wish Columbia had a list for us to reference though. :P
