Based on the formula that GW uses for their discount boxes, (ie about 35% savings) what kind of Chirstmas discount boxes would you like to see this year. Keep in mind they are usually built around some kind of theme.
Mine would be Genestealer cult raiders:
1 Jackel Alphus
2 Units of Atlan Jackels
2 Achilies Ridgerunners
I have yet to see a good discount box for these units and think it would do well.

The new Boarding Patrol has some of that at a decent price if you don't mine some more Plague Marines. It's a Lord of Virulence, Deathshroud x3 and Plague Marines x10. I think it's around 35%-40% discount.

One character with options. A marine captain as an example. Something you'd happily have a few off. Preferably something you could use as a super fancy Sergent or veteran in a pinch so you can get by with having 4 floating around
A full squad of basic troops. Help bulk up the army you're building or just provide bodies to use when making specialists.
Something fancy, could be a heavy option, could be veterens, could be fast attack.
If room/money allows a vehicle chassie. Perhaps a light tank, a walker, a transport vehicle.
Ideal world it would be like old marines or orks. Any weapon arms, heads and details from one kit would fit nicely on models from the others. So even if 3 people bought the box each person could end up with different stuff.

Thank you. Yeah I saw that Box and considered it, but trading away the Plague Marines is too much of a hassle to me right now (and I already have about 30 new and 60 old/ converted Plague Marines, I won't need more ).

I had some on 32s, and I switched 'em back. Lower profile to the table is better for immersion, and they're easier to store.
Edit: They also pack together better for a tight formation (like in ruins). They're more compatible with the old editions. Plus it's easy to expand a base to "regulation size" via 3d printed piece if necessary. It's a lot harder to shrink a base.

A more serious answer separating the missing wishlist - I'd love to see then add a customizable Build-A-Box on the website. Pick your faction, pick one of a handful of HQ's, pick one of a handful of Unit A, pick one of a handful of Unit B, then one of a handful of Vehicle/Unit C's.

Replace farsight with a generic commander and the tau boarding patrol is pretty ideal.

Yeah, if it was a permanent release I think they would have and it would be great to have access to. Sadly it's another blink and you'll miss it release.

I have two suggestions;
6x Ork Warbikers
3x Deffkoptas
1x brand new warboss on warbike/Wazdakka Gutsmek box
Alternatively;
10x Boys
5x Nobz
1x Trukk
1x Deff Dread
The latter is purely so all of my go to kits for conversions are in one place.

The Custodes boarding action box is an example of a perfect box. A special character you want, a basic troop you want and a box of terminators you want, if you happen to play custodes.
The custodes christmas box was another perfect big box. If you want to start playing custodes, non of the units in that box was not needed.
The perfect box for me would be something like a unit of troops, you really want two in your army, a unit of elite, a vehicle or a support unit, that you also want 2 or more of and then a character you either want 2 of, or one that is universal enough that you can build 2-3 different characters and you really want at least two of them.
Something like a 1ksons character, a unit of troops and a unit of terminators.

I'd probably tweak that - down to 5 Banshees, but then 5 Dire Avengers as well. However, I appreciate they're an older kit at this point.
Alternatively, and avoiding the Boarding Action framework, drop 5 Banshees for a unit of Shining Spears.

Ah, my heart is with the reapers and banshees. I had them for 3rd edition and loved running them with Biel-Tan rules from the Craftworlds supplement.
