All in, consider the total benefit of buying the Revised Core Set anyway. I estimate the total value of the units within at around $140 - 2 walkers, 3 5-man squads, 3 3-man heavy squads, and 2 heroes. All for $80. That is not a poke in the eye.
The Revised Core is a great deal… if you want to use those figures. Personally, both of the Axis lists I'm toying with (using models that strike my eye or fit a "theme") each use precisely one unit from a box set. In the case of List A, it's the Sturmpioniere (a required command element) from the Revised Core set. $60-80 for one non-optional unit is a bit much. List B uses Markus as a command element, only available in a $30 box.
I'm not opposed to paying a little extra to get a single model I need - I find the Hero box pricing fine, even if I only need one of the models. But, sadly, the inability to get the models I need for my lists in anything resembling a cost-effective fashion is keeping me from going all-in on this game.
I'm thinking if you only wanted one unit from the revised core set, you could buy the set and sell the bits you don't need separately and probably end up with the unit you wanted and more money than you started with.
