Value of in-game resources

I was roaming through the Offers section of the store to see if there were any good deals when I had a thought: Has anyone done the math to determine what the real life value of CP, various tokens, etc. are? Iso and HP are pretty obvious since they can be directly purchased from the store, but I realized that I don't know what the other resources in the game are worth.

Since there are various items packaged together in Offers, it's difficult to determine the actual value of any one thing. Don't get me wrong. I'm not opposed to spending money on a game I enjoy, but I'd still like to know what I'm spending.

    I did a calculation like this a long time ago here: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/50896/the-expected-value-of-covers-and-tokens#latest

    The numbers have changed since the rules have changed ut you get the basic idea how to do the calculation for your concrete situation.

    I see the prices in £ and across Android (google play) and Steam stores.  

    I've worked out they try and push £5 per LL pull as the buy price. Sometimes it can be as high as £7, but I see it as being too expensive at that point.  

    Therefore, a CP is worth 20p.  

    Also the prices can vary a bit between the storefronts. The recent tiered offer was priced at £20.99, £30.99 and then £50.99.  

    As for the £ value of standard, heroic, elite, tacos, " + friends stores" and mighty, it's not easy to place a value on them as you could get a 2, 3 or 4 star unit. And those champ rewards vary depending on the level of the character. I usually just ignore the "fluff" or consider the worst possible outcome form them and assume everything will be a 3star or 2star (prudence concept).
