I reacquired Uncanny X-Men #101, 105, 107-109, 111-138 and Annual 3 (well, I never did have 105 or 107 before) in the last few years and got a lot of enjoyment from doing that. I haven't gotten to 139-143 though, everyone just wants too much for those issues! Part of my problem is I remember seeing someone who had a couple dozen copies of #140 specifically. Those comics are way too new to be that valuable. What would really feel deluxe to me would be a box of facsimile issues with a special book that includes period interviews and art from fanzines and ads; everything that never appeared in the comics in the box. Oh, and a fold out mini spinner rack to display them all in... now that would get me interested! Something you can play with!

All the way to #175 would be even better.

That is a pretty cool set, but I don't think I'd pay that kinda money for it... I like my trades at clearance prices The Epics are my favorite Marvel presentation of back issues these days.

The box set looks great but yeah, too pricey at this time. My choice for quality reprints (and price) remains the Epic Collection series. Although I love how they used one of my favorite X-Men snapshots as a graphic for the set:
