I will definitely be picking this up, but I am waiting until it goes on sale for at least 35% off. I purchased the Civil War box set which had the same MSRP as this box set ($500) and I wound up getting it for just over $300. At $500, these sets are just too expensive for me, but just over $300 is a different ballgame entirely. At just over $300 its well worth the price for people that truly love the stories. And these things are HUGE. The Civil War set is a bit smaller than Infinity Gauntlet will be. Its just over 4100 pages and weighs in at 35 pounds. Since Infinity Gauntlet will be around 800 pages larger, it will likely be roughly 42-43 pounds.
I put Infinity Gauntlet right up there with Watchmen. Its one of the best comic stories I have ever read so as long as I can get this for roughly 35% off, it will definitely be on my bookshelf someday!
