Having bought from 3rd part folks on etsy and others, and there are some very good ones, yeah, there's no question Hasbro's option would be cheaper. Just economy of scale. Even outside of Hasbro, what's cheaper, to get ten 1/12 scale guns from an Etsy seller (or hell, even someone like Gridiron) or buy the equivalent from Valaverse? It's Valaverse all day long because Bobby has a factory turning it out instead of a resin printing or in-home casting. Sometimes a single weapon from a 3rd party is going to be more than a set coming from a factory.Accessory packs would be cool, but just about anything they put in them can be bought from 3rd party sellers on Etsy. Capes, holocrons, lightsabers, blasters, armor kits, jetpacks, backpacks, alt hands... the list goes on. Some of them even come painted. I think an official pack might be cheaper though, depending on price and what they put in it.
For stuff that's very boutique it's definitely worth it, but it would just be nice to have more options.
