Based on the descriptions of what we might get from each box, idk if this is worth it...MSRP wise sure, but most products are going below MSRP.
For the $50 box - A typical $50 box might include a number of packs of standard legal sets (they don't say how many, based of 12 packs for the $100 box I'll assume 6, MSRP = 6x$3.99 = $23.94, but most people can get 3 packs from their LGS for $10), plus a duel deck or Commander deck (huge variation here, $20-40 difference in MSRP, $15-42 difference in current Amazon prices), a pack of KMC or Dragon Shield sleeves ($10), and deck box (only shows smallest Dex Protection box in picture, $10).
So MSRP = ~$64-84, actual price most people would pay = $44-64. Note that they only show 2013 commander decks in the pictures, so only Eternal Bargain would get you up to $64, Evasive Maneuvers would get you ~$54 in value, Power Hungry just about breaks even, Nature of the Beast, Mind Seize, and any duel deck would lose you money.
For the $100 box - A typical $100 box might include 12 packs of standard legal sets (MSRP=12x$3.99 = $47.88, LGS price=$40), a commander deck (MSRP: $40, Amazon: $23-42), a Chessex dice set (MSRP: $10, Amazon: $6-10), an Ultra PRO binder (assuming premiums shown in picture, MSRP: $30, Amazon: $20), and a DEX Protection deck box ($10 for small, $15 for medium, $25 for large, I'll average at $17).
So MSRP = ~$145, actual price most people would pay = $108-127.
For the $150 box - A typical $150 box might include a Shadows Over Innistrad booster box (MSRP $144, Massdrop price $90, a pack of Dragon Shield sleeves ($10), a DEX Protection deck box (averaged at $17), a Chessex dice set (MSRP $10, Amazon $6-10), and a Cardboard Crack book ($13).
So MSRP: $194, Actual price: $138.
I would probably be losing money on the $50 or $150 box, and getting a little value for the $100 one, but I'd rather just have the flexibility to buy what I actually want for the money.

FrozenSunExactly why I switched from 150 to 100. Especially because I value the cardboard crack book at $0.

FrozenSunScratch that, I'm out. I'd rather buy singles or an SOI box that a box and $60 of crap.
