Holy Shotgun, Generic 8923 8972 1289 7382!

I don't normally cover weekly Paragon Store updates, but this week we have an interesting specimen: The Undead Survival Kit.

What is The Undead Survival Kit? From the official site:
The Undead Survival Kit comes with three temp powers. 75 charges of the Holy Shotgun Shells, 30 charges of the St. Louis Slammer, the 5 charges of the Warwolf Whistle and it also comes with 5 charges of the Self-Revive Power and 5 Large +Acc/+Dam Dual Inspirations.
All for 400 Paragon Points (PP). Each item is also available separately for between 20 and 80 PP each.

The theme of this kit is very cute and fun. Who wouldn't want an Undead Survival Kit, after all? Especially in Paragon City?

Of course, that leaves the little issue of the price. 400 PP is a bit steep. Okay, it's a lot steep, considering you can assemble most if not all of the kit in-game and it's all just a collection of Temporary Powers. I just think they would make a lot more off this at a much lower price point. Speaking for myself, at 400 PP it's an easy pass. At 200 PP I'd have to think about it and at 100 PP it'd be all but irresistible.

I guess the watch word here is, wait until it's on sale to pick it up, but they certainly did knock the fun factor and theme out of the ballpark on this one. Except for the price, it's very well done.

P.S. My "Batman" in the title got genericed! Grrrr! Where's my Holy Shotgun Shells...
