Based on the current auctions I've seen, the average BIN for a MOSC Clayface alone is ~$50.

It just feels like such a waste to spend time finding something rare like clayface, cyborg superman, or supergirl only to have them re-released. I don't sell at shows, but it is/was nice knowing a few of these things were actually worth a little something. These online packs just take the fun out of it for me.

Sorry the chase lost some of its appeal for you, but keep in mind if it weren't for shoddy distro and high aftermarket prices, Mattel might not have even bothered releasing these two packs and instead focused on something else to take their place.

In other words, would you have preferred an easy-to-find Clayface and no two-pack version later on, or the current situation where you have a figure that still commands decent aftermarket prices even after a "re-release" has been announced?

Besides, if you've got no plans to ever sell your Clayface, then it really doesn't matter what he's worth in the aftermarket. To you, he might as well be priceless. OTOH, if you do intend to sell him, then price fluctuations are a risk you assumed when you bought the toy.
