Not I. I've only got a couple of friends that would be interested in it, and I think they've already got all the paperbacks of those books. |

Ahhhh ill have to resist  I normally buy EVERYTHING to do with FR, but I draw the line with gift sets, I own the hardcovers of the individual novels as well as the hardcover collectors edition...I cant see any point in buying the gift set....as nice as it may look |

That is, essentially, why I posted this question here. I was curious to see how many Realms fans would be purchasing the gift set. WotC should perhaps have provided something in addition to the novels so there would be extra incentive for those with the hardcovers already, to consider this a collector's dream worth buying...

I've purchased exactly one gift set from Wizards: I bought the Chronicles trilogy for a friend for Christmas, several years ago. He did not have any of the books, and was only interested in reading them if he got an entire trilogy at once. |

| I will be buyimg the gift set to add to my collection. The problem with having something along with the gift set is that the gift set comes shrink-wrapped, so having something with it, would entail opening the shrink-wrap, and for collecting purposes, I don't open the shrink-wrap since I already own the paperbak and the hardcovers which I can read instead of having to open the gift set. |

Yes, I usually buy a box set and give it to someone as a gift(who has read the other books in the series).

Nah, then I would have to buy one for myself... They are not really meant as collectors items, more to get people into a series, although as these are books 11-14 perhaps they should include something (a mini calendar of FR book covers or something to promote the setting) because if a person is willing to jump in so late in the series then he/she will buy just about anything. |
