You're right, so it'd be...

$5 Battle Chest
$10 WoD
$25 Transfer
-------------
$40 Total Cost (assuming MoP is part of the BC by then)

But still, you can't expect WoD is going to be anywhere near $10 until the winter holidays at the earliest. You might get a cheap Battle Chest, but you're likely to only see a 50% cut on the price of WoD during those holidays. I'm pretty sure we didn't see $10 MoP sales until the second pass of the winter holidays; but even after all of this calculating, we're still assuming that MoP will have been added to the Battle Chest by that time or we can probably add another $5 onto the total price if you're catching it on sale.

It's a bunch of guessing and estimating and hoping that prices would come down, but even if you could catch everything on a super sale, it's still going to be $200 for a full 5-man team @ $40 a character -- And you'll possibly be waiting for trial restrictions to be lifted, as well as, transfers to go through and complete; all while hoping your credit card company/bank doesn't flag you for numerous repeated transactions for the same thing.

I guess it's a nice option to have if you just really hate leveling a team of characters with a passion, but for $200 - $300 a team, I think I'll suck it up.
