Forgotten Treasures - thoughts?

It's a strange thing when a series of pack offers appear that echo an idea the forum has discussed at length (the general notion of "decrepit legendaries")... and we don't talk about it at all. 
They seem structured like a modified version of Elusive Treasures (or perhaps they are "flashback" versions of the prior ET offerings?).
For my part... I have 99.9% of the SR cards already, and I'm too risk averse to spend 4900 dilithium on the 50/50 odds that I might catch one of the legendaries that I've already immortalized. But they seem promising for at least a segment of the playerbase.
Anyone tried them? Got feedback?

I'm similar to you in that I have all these cards, particularly the SRs. But for newer players, they could be a good investment.
but still more chances to get 1 or more SR or better crew and worst case
some extra honor.
When it first popped(started to do old Elsuive Treasures) up my initial thought was, that it‘s New Elusive treasures. Glad it didn t instant buy because of the wrong assumption. I wouldn t spend for it at all.
I agree with this. I think these packs are one of the routes for monetizing old crew via their relatively new collection relevance, and they are still far too expensive. The new credit/dilithium offers advertised as speeding up retrieval are another approach. It's classic rent-seeking, which I suppose makes perfect sense at this stage of the game's life and the volume of available cards.
I would be more inclined to go for them if: 1) they were priced at something like 250/2500 dilithium or even less for the oldest groups; and/or
2) individual crew were easier to target, perhaps by breaking up the pool into several smaller groups. There is almost no value for endgame players in these packs at the current prices. Those resources would be far better spent speeding up retrievals for a guaranteed useful drop or almost anything else.

But wouldnt do it myself.
Make the pack so the beholds only draw from the limited pool and maybe I'll be interested. You buy a 1x you'll get a behold of 3 4* crew who are all the limited crew in the pack. Buy a 10x you get a guarantee that one is a 5* begold with all limited crew and the other 9 will be either 4* or 5* beholds all with the limited crew. That's how you limit the pool to excite me.
Yeah, I used them

The feedback was so negative last time, the obvious choice is to repeat the pack at a discount with no change. Interesting logic by WRG staff.
Still not worth to me.
Is that correct? Mine says 90 Dil for 50 Quantum. Does the price change the more you purchase? 4900 Dil gets me ~2700 Quantum which is three 5*’s
