Is the new ultra box crazy or not?

I have to have bought one before they change it!! What’s your math on it?

My own personal math:

I don't really consider super incubators to be worth any more than normal ones, so 6 x 150= 900 coins. Even then, I'm reluctant to buy them at that price, so I'll only buy a few to use on 10KM eggs.

I'm level 38 and didn't really even want more lucky eggs, so they add no value.

Premium raid passes are discounted fairly often, so I value them at 80 each, so 10 x 80 = 800. I actually have more of those than I want to hold at any one time, but they might get used eventually.

I wanted a few Star Pieces, but 20 is excessive. Most of them will either be squandered or sit in my inventory forever, wasting space. 3 or 4 would have been enough, and I'm in no way desperate for Stardust, so it's hard to put an exact value on them. I would have maybe paid 100 coins for them, but I'm not even sure about that.

So essentially, 900 + 800 = 1700 value for 1680 cost, meaning a discount of 20 coins, plus some free lucky eggs I don't care about and Star Pieces. Just barely worth buying once for me, mainly because it's the only way to get Star Pieces at a price I was willing to pay once. If you need the lucky eggs too, however, it's a decent deal. Personally, I would much prefer if they just put regular incubators on a discount, without having to buy bundles of a bunch of different stuff.

If you need raid passes and or Incubators then the Great box seems to offer little value but at least its only 45% of the investment.

2x Super Incubator = 300 @ regular incubator price
3x Prem. Raid Pass = 300

You basically receive Lucky eggs and Star pieces at 10 coins each for those who want or need them.

It depends what standpoint u look at the ultra boxes at.
If u value lucky eggs it's 400 coins for 16. 25 cents per egg. Since there has been lucky egg sales at 50 percent off.
Raid passes are 800 coins per 10. 80 coins each.
Supers at 900 coins per 6. 150 coins each.
2100 coins and free star pieces saving 420 coins.

If u are looking to buy this box valuing lucky eggs and want supers at a discount it is
800 coins raid pass
400 coins lucky eggs
480 coins for 6 super incubators which is 80 coins per super with free star pieces.

If u are looking to buy this box not valuing lucky eggs it's
800 coins raid passes
900 coins supers
Free star pieces
Free junk lucky eggs
Saving 20 coins.(level 38-40 people mostly)

For people who don't value lucky eggs and always run 9 incubators it's equal to buying special boxes of 6 raid passes with free star pieces at 480 coins with upgrading regular incubators to super incubators with junk lucky eggs.

So depending which standpoint u view the ultra boxes, it is a really crazy good deal if u value all 3 premium items with free star pieces. It could also be equal to regular special box deal on raid passes with free star pieces with upgraded incubators for those people running 9 incubators with junk eggs, or a really bad deal saving 20 coins if u don't value eggs and don't care about 6 incubators going faster.

Or niantic way of looking at it
6 Supers at 200 coins each = 1200
10 raid passes at 100 coins each = 1000
16 lucky eggs at 50 coins each = 800 coins.
Free star pieces since this is first time item.
3000 coins worth of a total saving of 1320 coins.
