Just checked eBay. Found two C1 editions. US$140 and US$180.
If you just want to play with those tiles, it might be cheaper to buy the big box they were in, I think BB5, which goes as low as $75.

There are some good reviews on BGG. Would be curious to hear your thoughts after playing. I am going to put it on my “of interest” list…
Thanks for sharing.

Nice! Brutal farmer.
Tiles look great in the sleeves. But also the color matches. My Das Fest tiles are dark like the German Castles. Maybe because they weren’t part of the special edition?

Personally, I prefer the C1 rules as they make more sense to me. And since there won't be any more expansions for me, all edge cases have now been resolved 
I agree that the C1 rules make more sense, but are they tactically interesting? I always felt like the wagon was mostly just a regular meeple. But with C2 you get a lot more tactics, especially if you use the Abbot.

Lovely! Great tile mix! And yeah I’m also C1 only.
Merit from me!

Base+IC+TB+RiverI with No Watermarks! My favorite.
But 140 Euro is high. There’s one on eBay now for $90.

Wishing you continued success in your recovery.
Eager to see what’s coming on the Carcassonne front. We have definitely missed you here.

Both barns are on the same field. 
Oops! I somehow convinced myself that green needed a FFFX tile to connect! So only pink is sad. It is a wagon placed as a claustral prior.
Hahahaha! I suppose my understanding is stuck in 2015: ELEMENT OF THE WEEK: THE MONASTERIES … As a digression, this expansion, as well as Carcassonne 2.0, have now utterly confused the landscape of Carcassonne with conflicting religious terminology. Cloisters have Monks, Abbeys also have Monks, Monasteries have Abbots, but Abbots are also what are placed on Gardens and Cloisters in Carcassonne 2.0. And just to add more confusion, Z-Man Games now calls Cloisters Monasteries (which actually matches the German usage of the term). So...yeah. In English, there are a lot of different terms that can be used for these things—Monasteries, Cloisters, Abbeys, Convents—but there are also a lot of terms that can be used for who occupies them: Monks, Nuns, Abbots, Priests, Clerics, Priors, or even Bishops and Cardinals. Forethought was something Hans im Glück sometimes fails at, but here they really just have confused the heck out of everything!
…the special monasteries are German monasteries (from Monasteries in Germany).
Aha! I only play C1 so I didn’t recognize these. Thanks for the clarifications and thanks again for sharing great game photos!
