I have seen that listed on BGG, but have never seen one come up for sale, so I didn't know if it actually existed or not. That looks really cool.
It's an official edition! Production was stopped, however, because the Russian publisher "Hobbyworld" now also produces only in the new design (C2).

Because I in my opinion only the "Royal Gift compilation" could be considered as BigBox
The official names are as follows:2011 - Каркассон Предместья и Обитатели (Carcassonne:Suburbans and Inhabitants)is a compilation or four expansions for Carcassonne game: Inns and Cathedrals, Traders and Builders, Abbey and Mayor and King and Scout (including the tiles for Carcassonne : Hunters and Gatherers)
These are the same expansions as those included in Russian BigBox/Conpilation "Carcassonne: Royal Gift".
2012 -Каркассон Дворяне и Башни (Carcassonne: Nobles and Towers) is a compilation for Carcassonne, including two large expansions : The Tower and The Princess and the Dragon, and four small expansions : The Count of Carcassonne, The River II, The Cult (6 tiles) and The Corn Circles.
2012 - Каркассон Колесо фортуны (Carcassonne Wheel of Fortune)
This edition of Carcassonne: Wheel of Fortune includes the Bridges, Castles and Bazaars expansion.
2013 - Каркассон: Королевский Подарок (Carcassonne: Royal Gift) is a Carcassonne collection containing the base game and 4 expansions: Inns and Cathedrals, Traders and Builders, Abbey and Mayor and King and Scout (including the tiles for Carcassonne : Hunters and Gatherers).
2014 - Каркассон.Наука и магия (Carcassonne: Science and magic)
is the third collection of expansions for the game "Carcassonne". It consists of seven expansions: "The Flying Machines", "The Messengers". "The Ferries", "The Goldmines ", "Mage & Witch", "The Robbers" and set "The Corn Circles".
To play it you need the basic game "Carcassonne" or "Carcassonne. Wheel Of Fortune"
