The box contains three half art Promo Cards, an enamel Pin Badge and 5 Booster Packs. Individual booster packs generally retail for around £4.50 in the UK and $4.50 in the US. The promo cards are likely to be worth £3 – £4 / $3 – $4 each while the badge would likely cost £8 – £10 / $8 – $10.
Taking the lower valuations of the contents of the box, the five Booster Packs would cost £22.50 / $22.50, adding the expected value of three cards takes the total to around £31.00 or $31.00. Adding in the expected value of the badge means that the contents of this box are worth around £40 / $40 which is much higher than the recommended retail price in the UK and the US.
In conclusion it would seem that this Pokémon product is exceptionally good value for money.
