For example an orange refractor falls at a rate of 1/757 for hobby while it falls at 1/1,322 per value box. Almost half as likely to pull it per pack does not scale with the $5-3.50 cost. I found similar odds for other parallels. Add the auto chance to that and I see no reason to choose blasters over hobby boxes. I may be missing something though.

We ran the numbers based on the original MSRP.

At the time Blasters were the best price to Refractors, Xfractors, and a handful of other refractor parallels and inserts. If hobby has dropped from $140 to $120, it almost erases the advantage the $60 Mega boxes has over hobby. Blasters still maintain their value for Refractors, Xfractors, and exclusive Pink Refractors.
Now if people can get blasters at $20 per, then that changes things.
