Yes, that would be nice --- like when they issued the 5.0e core books gift set in a slipcover with a DM screen and Hydro74 covers in 2018, which was three years after the core books were originally released in 2014. I'm not saying they would necessarily have to use Hydro74 as the artist since WotC said they've moved on to other artists (although I definitely like his work), but at least they could do a different version of the alternative covers than the ones originally released. Also, there would have been plenty of time to incorporate all the errata, as was done with the 5.0 gift set.
I wish that they would understand that when they do a slipcase boxed set of 3+ books, that the MSRP should be 10-20%
less than the sum of its contents. The last few boxed sets, IIRC added up to
exactly the sum of their contents. You get the slipcase for "free", I suppose, and I know that it costs them in production, but I still believe firmly as someone who's sold these things for decades, the basic principle of "the more you buy the more you save".
So I tend to force a slightly lower price point on collected slipcases when I sell them at my FLGS, but then it eats into my margins. We're a tiny store, so I don't think that it's very fair to make ME have to eat the difference, when I think it should be obviously a feature of the product itself.
Then again, that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how I think business should be done differently by WotC (or Marvel, or DC, or Games Workshop, etc, etc.). Generally the bigger the parent corporation, the less sensible they are, IMO.
