Think of the Unicron episode, which was right before the R6s if I recall correctly. How much did it cost to acquire the top R5 raider in that episode? (For, say, a RAW pack or its equivalent.) Now think of that $200ish R6 RAW pack in the subsequent episode. I bet the R6 cost twice as much but was far greater than twice as good of a card. How much are the R5 raiders' RAW packs in these episodes?

Their rollout of R6s was flawed in virtually every way. I'm willing to bet that week off was taken to reassess where the game will go with Pandora's box opened without turning the game into a true pay-to-play system (where you can't even T5 an episode without a consistent investment because of the volume of R6 cards that would be in circulation). They had to stop releasing them because they are too strong, and I doubt we'll see them again for a while.
