3.5 Box Set?

[Alaric_Prympax]

the whole thing works out to be more expensive than the three on their own.

Each of the 3.5 Core Books is $29.95 x 3 = $89.85. Core Book Gift set is $89.95. That's only 10 cents more plus you get the sleeve. When I first heard about this I said "I'll pay 10 more cents for a sleeve." I ordered a set from work and I'm waiting for employee appreciation days (bigger discount! ) to purchase it.

I still think that this kind of pricing makes no sense, maybe it can only happen in the RPGing industry or collecting hobbies.

I've seen them, and I STILL haven't had the urge to buy them, or the 3.5 books individually for that matter. If there's nothing special about it other than the box, I don't see why I would do it, either, because if I buy game books, the last thing they're going to do is spend time sitting in some commemorative sleeve... My gaming backpack is "sleeve" enough.

However, they would be an awesome gift from a parent for their kids, or to a relative who's just getting into D&D...

I saw them at thalmin's store last weekend. If you want all three books at once, knock yerself out.

Like Henry, I just can't be bothered. Plus, I now have the 3.5 MM, so I won't buy the box anyway.

I had actually put it on my amazon.com wish list, in case my folks wanted to get it for me for Christmas. But then I took it off. Frankly, I'm in no rush to buy the books. I'm still not convinced that the changes to 3.5 were a great idea, and if I can get into a 3.0 game I will. I'll buy the books when I get into a 3.5 game.
