If you want to cherry pick the line for 1 or 2, places like Rakuten and Mandarake can be helpful there, but otherwise cases are just the cheaper option.

The really good sellers usually have a complete set for 30-36. Sometimes between 25-30. Depends on timing too.

Like one seller has half of series 7 for 12usd total, and even piecing the rest together, it's still under 30 with only Doras as the pricey one at 12usd. Though bundled in the mid after release timing, you can usually find them for decently under 30. Right at release and you'll see markup from hype. Though some also use that time for the best deals too since they do early bird specials, plus with reward points you can get a nice discount sometimes too.

But some sellers on Rakuten are some heavy markups like ebay has. Gotta watch out for those.

I'd list my faves to use, but I like them having stock when I order stuff. xD But it's obvious to figure out if you scroll up to my other links from a rakuten seller. That one's prices are nearly always reasonable and usually always well stocked.
