Not gonna go into details why this supposed to be "BIG" "Extravagant" anniversary lucky box sucks (there is plenty of threads about), But just a few quick points:
500KP instead of 300. Most of the new stuff are useless, The useful stuff you might get are not new and not that rare or expensive or OP to justify the risk (CEB, POM, Imm. Shield are more OP than anything in the box -save HBP- and you can get them for 300KP with 0 risk). Crates do not have a bonus cert. etc.

So to make this a must have box where everyone spends gazillion $$ on it (A once in a year box) some radical changes needs to be done (I remember the chocolate gift basket box that was turned from the worst box ever to the best box ever with the addition of 1 dog NPC :) ). So here are a few suggestion:

1- Boxter exchanger with high rate for ALL the items in this box
A Grandpa Boxter -if you like- who gives you.. idk story points or w/e
900 point for any item. 1000 point = 1 box.
This way people could go for a specific item (or one of the useful items) losing 10% each step. Now I'm not sure if this box has classes or if all items have equal chances, if it's the later then maybe 900 point is a bit OP but so what! this is supposed to be a one in a year box!

2- Medals or Badges exchanger
Put in an NPC that exchange the useless hats / scrolls with Prize Medals or KvM Badges.

3- Your 5 is 1
NPC to exchange any 5 items from the box for any 1 item (from the box) of your choice.

4- 50% discount
each box becomes 250KP, Crate = 1000KP.
(Code The Redeemer could give the extra boxes for those who bought during the first week)

Why has this not caught fire yet? +1 foaad. All of these ideas are viable and very simple fixes. As one of us who spent quite a fair amount of Kp on these lame crates/boxes, I'm all for heim trying to make right on it. I won't go to the extent of posting the ridiculous, monotaneous response I got from my support ticket in regards to this issue but please... Do something to fix this!

^ That should be 10 scrolls since you get 2 per box
10 * 5m (avg. scroll price) = 50m which was the avg. HBP price when it first came out AFAIK.
That's assuming the price will stay at 5m after boxter, which is unlikely
Now if you get your scrolls from boxes, 10 scrolls = 5 boxes = 2000KP which is more than a fair price for HBP (compare that to 300KP for CEB / POM / Immune Shield)

Sorry but this is a bad idea as this would flood the market with the rare items from the box

(Code The Redeemer could give the extra boxes for those who bought during the first week)
These boxes were definately worth 500kp
