I'd consider 300 stones for that price maybe I understand the hesitation behind such. You are paying 50 for it, which is alot, i wont deny. And it wont be as alluring if its a card you arent too bothered about.

But if you was paying about 40 something for the 90 stones packs or even the current 150 packs, you could argue they are far more risky than the premuim stone pack. And thats just based on the law of averages. You have like a 0.3% chance of getting most featured cards on any given banner. You could drop 1,000 on it and still not get what you are after. Where as this stone, you are 100% certain of claiming it.

For myself, Cooler was the only 120% lead i didnt have, despite summoning on every banner hes been on since coming to global. He was the only card i needed to help me complete EXT PHY SBR and the first 10 rounds of SBR.

Correct, this is essentially why I am very hesitant to get the SSR Force ticket, because for $8, you are getting a chance to either pull dupes or new units. If you take out the $32.99 91 stone discounts, and some $$ from the 9 stones itself, you are paying roughly $12-$14USD for a unit that you can handpick, which is reasonable. Looking at many YouTubers who can get shafted for no featured units in 500 stones, it is more painful than just picking the unit outright.

That said, once you have all the purple unit characters, the value of the purple stone pack drops significantly. ActionBastard6969 is also correct, that's the tuna/baby dolphin levels. If I had all the mono type units, I would not have got the purple stone package.
