    Anything that was explicitly tied to a monetary purchase (1.0 legacy items, soundtrack minions, art book minions) should NEVER be made available outside of those original purchases, since the implication at time of purchasing them was that they would remain exclusive, which added to their original value. I know that I for one, would instantly refuse to ever buy another minion-bundled store item if they set a precedent of "just wait and you can buy the minion separately whenever", and I think that is the main thing SE wants to avoid.

    Considering the items are priced the same after the minion codes have expired, the purchase of something you hopefully wanted included an in-game bonus that didn't cost you extra. You got a limited time bundle. I don't like the cash shop, but I'm all for separating the codes from physical items if it means less physical waste from people that could care less about the physical items.
