While not every kit has been my cup of tea (*cough* bust the dust *cough*) I generally think kits are a good idea - or at least have the potential to be a good way to add things to the game that may be more niche, ideas that didn't make the cut for a pack by the slimmest of margins, or just that don't quite fit in with anything already in the pipeline.
I do think that for what you get, they're a little pricy. And when I say that, I'm comparing them to things like this:

In this case, it's an 8 item outfit for CG artwork using Daz Studio, with 5 textures (or "swatches") for each item. The level of detail and realism is significantly higher than I'd want or expect for a game, because they're not game assets. They're art assets. And I can get this pack for $7USD because I happen to have a Daz+ Membership. But it's 8 items. One outfit, and not even a dynamic one in this case. And when it comes time to spend my fun money, it's what I'm balancing against a kit, because they're close enough to the same price.
So I do think kits could be maybe a dollar cheaper US, with corresponding price reductions in other markets. But I'm still interested to see what sort of kits come along.
