Are the Veteran Smuggler packs worth it?
Okay so here's my predicament.... I've just got the Vets to 6*, however my stockpiling of crystals has now run out meaning that I will struggle to 7* them before the event ends. Is buying the pack ...

If you just got them to 6*, it's going to be tough even if you buy the pack. There's only the one pack that gives you 50 shards each and you'd have to buy the rest for crystals in shipments/cantina.
Asuming you still need 100 shards each (200 total) and you buy the pack, that leaves you with 100 shards to get within 4 days (if you already spent today's cantina refresh it'll be a bit worse). So you'll have to get 25 shards per day.
5 Cantina refreshes (for a total of 700 crystals a day), the 45 energy bonus and 120 free energy gives you 745 cantina energy, which equals about 16 shards per day. Let's hope you're lucky and get 17 shards. Then you'll still have to buy another 8 shards in shipments each day (640 crystals).
The total cost for you to get them to 7* in time would therefore be:
Price for the pack
+ 5360 crystals (for cantina refreshes and shipments)
Obviously you'll have to decide for yourself, but I would NOT buy it.
Edit: Either I totally fucked up with my final advice, or autocorrect fucked me over (my device is not set to english). I did NOT want to advice to buy the pack, since personally don't want to support such obvious cash grabs. 80 bucks for one three characters (Vets+Rey) might be cheap for this game, but is still expensive considering how much you gain.
