IMO a box set is sometimes necessary in terms of economics, if it includes some support products (cards, proprietary dice, etc.) that are required to properly run the TTRPG - i.e. the proprietary dice included in FFG's Star Wars box sets. Other times they're worth it because of the quality and value of extras, such as pawns, poster maps, dice or any included adventure(s). The 100 quality pawns included with the Pathfinder 1e box set and the excellent Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure in the D&D 5e Intro box, are IMO 2 good examples.I have to say, based on my always awaiting reviews and favoring box sets that bundle in valued extras, it's rare that I don't also buy the CRB at the same time, or shortly after.</blockquote>
