I recently bought 12 of the 16 TPBs in the Dawn of X storyline because I want to get caught up with what's been happening the last couple years in the X-Men comics. It cost roughly $150 to get those 12, which isn't too bad since it comes out to about $12.50 per book.
Unfortunately, the last 4 I need are also going to cost about $150 because they're all hard to find. Which would bring the overall price per book up to $18.75. Still not too bad compared to the list prices on the back of each book (average of around $24), but still.
Thankfully, the Reign of X and Trials of X books are all still fairly current and I should be able to pick them up for about $10 each when the time comes.
