You know, I thought the boxed sets were great, but overpriced. I never
really felt like I got $30 worth of stuff in them. I figured if they cut the
price $5 and made the box the size of Devil's Tower pt 3 sales would pick
up. I wouldn't feel like there was wasted space then, and things would have
in fact been "crammed" in there. ;-)
Of course, this may has been economically unfeasable for them, I don't know.

I always picked up the boxed sets. And many did quite well in my area
(particularly The Great Maze). I guess overall they just didn't go over well
(obviously not, if they're pretty much cutting them!).
