The problem here is a lot of it is just boxes in DLC form that you could earn in multiplayer anyway. So that eliminates about 400 dollars. Then as I don't know if having the gun would start making it appear (I know it doesn't with N7, but they have their own boxes) you would have to buy multiple items if you were crazy about getting the Collector's Rifle up to 10.

But I'll break it down.

$870

- $10 because From Ashes is included and they didn't realize at the time

- $125 because the figure(ine) stuff can be gotten regardless just by playing unless I missed it being a way to get any exclusive weapons.

- $630 if the rifle becomes lootable after activating

So $105.

If the rifle isn't lootable it actually becomes

$735

+ $50 for two more cheapest items to get rifle up to X if you wanted at least one of every item.

So then $785. If you bought multiples of the cheapest it becomes

$105

+225

So $330. Heck you could probably re-sell 9 of those art books (if you wanted to keep one) and make some of your money back. At that point we could estimate about $200. A lot easier (if not still equally crazy through effort) to swallow than $860.
