2 things from my event/lockbox experiences over the years.
1). The more event items a toon has, the less likely to get another from lockbox attempts. So if you have lots of event items, it is better to save and buy the remainder.
2). My strategy: save to buy the 1, 2 or 3 things you really want. Lockbox all excess event currency. You might get lucky and get that 1, 2 or even 3 items, leaving you spare currency to get other items. Once you lockboxed the excess, then outright buy the remaining must have items you saved for. That way you at least walk away from the event with some items you wanted.
