WotC is thrilled to market products as gift sets -- like they did with the slipcased set of supplements last winter -- but isn't doing it this time around.Missing the point. This product is designed to be A CHRISTMAS GIFT. Therefore it's deliberately not something you would buy for yourself, it's something someone would buy for someone else (confident that it's too expensive and frivolous for them to already own it).
It's comparable to a fancy box of chocolates with elaborate packaging. You don't buy that for yourself, you buy yourself a bar of Fruit and Nut.
"It's not overpriced: It's supposed to be too expensive to for you to buy" is real pretzel logic.
