If they packaged it with updated versions of lets say....Fires of Dis, and give a good assortment of demon/devil miniatures with the package, hell-related battlemats, and all that jazz.  Okay, so it might cost more than 50 bucks.The cost is the real problem with the boxed-set format.  It costs a lot to produce, and a lot to buy.  You'd have to make sure that your boxed sets sold.  Not only that, I'm sure that more than one D&D player might be embarrassed to be caught buying a box of action figures, rather than picking up a book or two.  Yes, there are still people reluctant to say that they're roleplayers.  But cost, more than any other barrier, really.  Bookshelf space, not so large of one.  Just make them (fat) book sized.</blockquote>
