In the five years since I've been playing, I've introduced only 25-30 new players and less than a handful of experienced (prior editions) players to 5E.  I would estimate 90% of them bought PHBs, about 60% Xanathars, and maybe 30% bought additional books, some a couple, some nearly everything published!Of course, I already had dice, and so did hte experienced players, but all the new ones purchased an average of 2-3 sets each. Some just a single set, some went crazy and bought 6 or more!More experienced players (from prior editions) are likely to be more selective than newbies, IME as well.For my part, I would never consider a player with a few sessions no longer a newbie. It would take many more than that, probably 10 or so IME before someone shows enough proficiency to no longer be a newbie.</blockquote>
