As for my own, I have a bunch of foils and promos from various sets, no two being the same. I have pretty much every foil John Avon land going included in there
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
They're between $7.50 and $10.00 each, so 200 of them (40 of each) would cost $1,500 and $2000 for a full set.
lulz, I'd rather buy a set of Workshops and Bazaars for that money:P Eventhough I already have them!
But I can't ignore the fact that its really awesome and that I'd love to have a basic-land set of that kind myself. Its just that its beyond my budget. Perhaps in another life time.

@all Thanks for the compliments on the basic land. Since I had pimped out the Cube, I felt it would be out-of-place if the land selection didn’t measure up; however, it took a little luck (right place, right time) to end up with all Unhinged foil lands…

…the right place, right time refers to finding someone who had them in bulk and willing to unload them at a bulk rate. I ended up paying about $3 per land; a little over $600. IMO, $600 is a lot of money to pour into basic land; but when was I going to get another opportunity?

$600 is a lot but you defiantly got a deal... and everyone is jealous.

For my 720 Cube
I used 35x of Foil Basic Lands with the old card face
(So Onslaught, Odyssey, 7th, MM, etc)
For my 450 U/C Cube
I just used all Urza's Saga regular Basics (30 each)
So wait, you have 100 each? so you have set aside 500 basics for your 360 card cube? Am I reading this currently?
At one point I inherited all of the basics of my playgroup. Something about me being responsible. I promptly said I losted them and sleeved them up with my cube.
How many basic lands do you guys think is the minimum for the different cube sizes? Say, 360, 450, 500+ etc.
I use 50 of each basics in my 450 cube right now and I think I could cut down a bit. I already have 30 of each zen land which I'd like to use but Im thinking I at least need 40 of each.

So you stole from your friends? That's kinda douchey thing to do, congrats you have a few dollars worth of basics at the cost of being a db to your friends.
Why would you need 500 basics for a 360 card cube anyway. Even if you drafted the whole cube and all 8 players manage to go mono you still have too many lands. Why not just ask your group to use a set number of them for the cube?
I use assorted new frame basics. mirrodin-Shards. If lands were printed in Homelands I'd be using all homelands basics for access to this baby: apocalypse chime

From the full art Zendikar basics, I have 24 of each basic land type sleeved. Additionally, I have a few Ravnica basics and a few sleeves ready if needed.
24 is enough if we are only four or five drafters - which happens quite often. The extra lands are for six man drafts. I only have 5x24 lands sleeved since the box in which I transport my cube can only hold 600 sleeved cards (and my cube is 480 cards big).
Before Zendikar came out, all of my basic lands were from Ravnica and all had the same picture (within each type).
Final note: None of my basic lands (and none of my cube cards except for a FNM Bloodbraid Elf) are foil, since almost my entire playgroup - including myself - hates foil cards.

I feel compelled to repeat everything I hear
Oh my god, I am so jealous
I had a dream about this once but then found out it would cost me about 2G's to make it happen
... then i remembered you actually have this.

i did say it was bout 2G's
but yeah, Wtwlf is right.. about 1500-2000
you would want to get in bulk from someone to make it "worthwhile"
i have seen people try to sell 10-12 of's (50-60 in total) on MOTL once in awhile
