Bloody hell. All that for £25? That's pretty good, that.
Even if I'm mistaken and it's £35 (really hard to tell!) it's still well good value.

Based on the other currencies, Canadian $ at 70, for example, I think its most likely £35, still, great value for those 4 models.
Currently one is out of production (the Chaos Sorcerer) and the other 3 come at £61 at RRP. With the Sorceror at the old price (£9) this would take this bundle to me half price!
(Can't wait for someone to complain that this means the prices should be lowered for all models without understanding how costs scale!)
looks like £25 to me, but still impressive at £35. surprised they have gone for another fyreslayer though, another race would be nice
Twelve monkeys, eleven hats. One monkey is sad.
I really dislike the fact that there are no hero sheets in the box. I know the rules are in the main game, but come on! Are we supposed to bother with photocopying from the book? This is a game with wonderful components, can't we get physical hero sheets for all the heroes? Including hero sheets in expansions to dungeon crawlers is the standard for almost all other games (Descent, Shadows of Brimestone, Dungeon Saga, etc.). They must really want us to use the app ...
Even at £35, that's over 50% off. At £25, it's the price of one of those models, with the other three being included free. Either way, it's a horrible look. If they can sell them at that price, why are the individual packs so bloody expensive? It's a disaster if it's £25, because that means you're pretty much giving away three models, and people will likely be just splitting the cost of the box to get models for AoS.
This kind of stuff is why I don't believe in Rountree at all. Dude, if you want to make the prices friendlier, start with just making them sane across the board, rather than releasing a model at £25, three at £18, and then package all four for the price of one (less than the price of two).
Critical statements above are not intended to promote negativity or dislike, they are meant to add to a discussion where the positive points have likely already been stated.
One box of models isn't that different in costs/labour to a single model in a pack (once the sculpts have made their production costs back through individual sales) as the packing and the plastic the model is made from are pennies. Shipping, handling, cost of sales, staffing and all that jazz are what is costing you money, not the materials. When your previous pricing means that the £35 price is a bargain that can't be missed which will generate sales. So, you have more sales and the cost per unit is not much higher.
Assuming your material costs are basically negligible, whats better? Selling 4 models in a box that nets you £34 profit per sale or having one model that gets you £24.50 from one sale? Especially when the higher profit item is an easier sale!

Well, Horrors just became a PITA to properly job - as is right and proper!
And if Grot Scutlings are ever released as a boxed set on their own? I'm having twelfty! Just something I love about those models!
