Well not impossible. Just need to balance out the savings you get from half-off sales and more, and then use the savings to balance out the higher-cost OOP items. Diligent checking on used book sites and ebay should get you everything you need at retail price or below it overall.

*edited after doing a a quick look*
At this point, 14 seems to be about three times retail price. Most of the others are about retail or below . As long as you don't accidentally buy the german version of a book (pay very close attention to the publisher) and you pay attention/ask questions about the condition of a used book, I think you should be able to make it below retail. I have not checked ebay, so if you find it (or sets) cheaper than those, go for -that-.

*last note* And check the clearance sales for the Spirit Archives in general. If you can grab those, it should balance out the price you pay for 14, generally.
