Summary
Loot box unit pricing
86.4+ years= Specific limited availability hero ( example Gravemaker ).
1.7+ years= Any limited availability hero ( includes duplicates ).
1.8+ years= Specific Classic 5* Hero.
14 days= Any Classic 5* hero ( includes duplicates and includes hero originally retrained )
7 days= Any Classic 5* Hero ( includes duplicates except hero originally retrained see next line above ).
versus
16.8+ years = Specific Classic 5* Hero ( 1x Legendary training ( RT20 ) )
8.4+ years = Specific Classic 5* Hero ( 2x Legendary training ( RT20 ) )
4.2+ years = Specific Classic 5* Hero ( 4x Legendary training ( RT20 ) )
So theoretically it is better then Legendary training ( RT20 ) to get a Specific Classic 5* Hero. But you need a 5* hero for the recipe.
Note: Legendary training ( RT20 ) can be used to hoard food, hoard recruits and generate Hero XP / Costume XP. Retraining a hero produces ZERO hero XP / costume XP, cannot hoard food and cannot hoard recruits.

Specific Classic 5* Heroes
These odds are slightly too generous ( 1 in 20 ) and the food cost should be 74.97% compared to Beta v0.1. But I do not feel like calculating the actual odds ( 1 in 21.0526 ) or food. Someone else can adjust them, but they are close enough.
