A new patch has been released, which means it’s time to take a look at Marvel Snap Bundles that are waiting for us in the near future and compare them side by side. Keep in mind that contents, cost and dates are yet to be confirmed and are not final until announced or released.
February 2023 Bundle List
The above chart compares the upcoming Bundles in February 2023. More information can be found on their individual pages:
| Date | Bundle |
|---|---|
| February 7 – February 28 | Positively Charged |
| February 14 – February 21 | Westview Story |
| February 14 – February 21 | Steamy Hell’s Kitchen |
| February 22 – March 3 | Birthpool |
Let’s start with the good news! Apparently, the community was heard and we received not one, but two bundles this month that contain Collector’s Tokens! It is also worth noting that every bundle coming this month will be available for Gold, no exclusives for real money this time.
The bad news is that the price in gold for the vast majority of F2P players is simply unattainable. So if you want to buy both bundles that contain Collector’s Tokens, you will need 11,500 Gold. Positively Charged bundle costs 8,000 Gold or about $114, which is an absolute record for the price among all the bundles that we have seen! The above price in dollars is formed taking into account the conversion methodology presented earlier. However, if you buy 8000 gold using the best option in the store, then the price of this bundle will be equal to $100.
As a result, even players who can afford to buy an expensive bundle may have a choice: Buy a more expensive or cheaper bundle. And if we take into account the speed of obtaining Gold, most likely, the majority of players who have been hoarding Gold non-stop since December will not even have enough gold to buy Positively Charged bundle.
Collector’s Tokens
The chart above gives only a general idea of the value. But let’s dive into the details and compare the number of tokens that will actually be received after buying a particular bundle. To do this, we need to go back to some calculations and take into account the differences in progress after collecting all 3 pool cards.
So if we take into account that 1 token is approximately 4.18 Credits, then we can calculate how many tokens will be obtained in total when buying a bundle (including those that will be obtained from Collector’s Reserves when converting credits to collection level). Thus, if we compare all bundles containing tokens, we will get a chart showing the number of tokens received for 1 Gold spent for each bundle.
| Bundle | Cyber holiday | Winter Wonderland | Positively Charged | Birthpool |
| Price in gold | 7500 | 6000 | 8000 | 3200 |
| Total amount of Collector’s Tokens | 5275 | 3916 | 4437 | 2266 |
| Number of Collector’s Tokens for 1 gold spent | 0.7 | 0.65 | 0.55 | 0.7 |
| Collection progress value | 2.4 | 2.2 | 1.8 | 2.4 |
As shown above, Positively Charged bundle does not show a very good result, especially considering its cost. At first glance, it seems that Its value for players who are only interested in progress and speed of obtaining new cards is comparable to the value offered by the Winter Wonderland bundle. However, the number of tokens received per gold spent is extremely low. Also, this bundle is the only one among all the above that has a progress value below 2.0. Therefore, this bundle can hardly be called valuable.
On the other hand, players have a choice to buy Birthpool bundle, which is similar in value to Сyber Holiday bundle, and even overtakes it. This is due to the fact that the bundle contains a little more cosmetics and a variant for the Deadpool card from Series 3, which can replace the card itself until you get it from a Collector’s Reserve. In addition, this bundle is quite affordable and has a good gold/tokens ratio.
A Strange Couple
As we expected, Second Dinner continues to experiment and offers new bundles that are fundamentally different from those we have seen before. This time, players will be able to purchase two extremely similar bundles that do not contain any valuable resources and have only cosmetic items.
Both Westview Story and Steamy Hell’s Kitchen bundles are positioned as not very expensive options for players who love cosmetics, but are not willing to pay real money for it. I assume that in order to compensate such low value of these bundles this month, two bundles with tokens will be released in contrast.
Сonclusions
This month, all the players who were waiting for the appearance of bundles with tokens faced a difficult choice. There are 3 main options.
- Quantity is above value – the player buys a Positively Charged bundle for a high price and will probably spend all his gold savings.
- Value over quantity – the player waits for the Birthpool bundle at the end of the month and makes an extremely profitable purchase, leaving part of the gold in reserve.
- Quantity is above all – the player does not want to miss the opportunity to directly buy Collector’s Tokens and therefore does everything possible to buy both bundles. In this case, the player will most likely have to spend a decent amount of money or time that will be spent on grinding Season Caches.
It is worth noting that each of these choices makes sense. Each player will make such a choice himself based on his preferences. The above calculations may help you to understand the whole picture and weigh all the pros and cons.
All the details of the calculation principle for these bundles can be found in the previous post on bundle values.
