@Brigby, is there anything you can tell us about the scheduled release of bundles for other, higher clearance levels, their contents and likely price points?

Apologies, but I'm afraid I don't have any information regarding a potential release schedule for these kind of bundles

Odd, I got this offer on my android account, but not on my steam account. Is there some kind of delay? I have updated the steam account to R145.

Did your Steam account reach CL4 already? In general it is available on Steam as well.

Yes, I'm CL109

$27.99 is nearly twice the price of the last bundle. Not even remotely worth it this time, particularly so close together. 

Mine is priced at almost three times the old offer. Definitely not worth it.

Got it finally for $19.99 US

Can we get some infomercials for these?

Preferably with Ric Flair as pitchman?

WOOO! Crispy!
WOOO! Tangy!
WOOO! 6x value!

(seriously, this is not Ric Flair)

Hi Everyone. I just wanted to stop by and provide a bit of clarity on the different price points players might be seeing. Some of you have mentioned A/B testing, however I can confirm that this is not the case. 

Instead, the price differences some players are seeing are due to a variety of reasons, such as different platforms, regions, taxes, or maybe all of the above! (In some cases, our team even receives pricing set by the platform itself)

Hopefully that provides a bit more clarity about pricing (or maybe a bit more confusion. Sorry..), or at the very least about whether it's an A/B test or not.

Sorry, but since we know that you can set the prices per player individually the price setting being forced on you doesn't hold up. There's literally nothing stopping you from adjusting what you get up by 10% when a regional price setting category makes a purchase tier be 10% higher. Just give players the same purchase power. You have the tools. Use them.
Use this thread as evidence that players are skipping purchases because they don't want to spend more money than other players for the same thing.

Has that been established for real world money purchases?  I know it applies to things that cost HP, but wasn't aware that we'd seen examples of different costs for the same item on the same platform for the same currency.

This offer didn't interest me, as I felt it was too expensive for what you were getting. However, if it had appealed, but had then noticed I was going to have to pay £4 more (thats about $6 to our American friends) than someone else who was buying it, I'd have probably decided against the purchase out of principal. A £4 difference is ridiculous!

There are three different Stark offers. 100$(or regional equivalent) for 20k HP, 26k HP or 32k HP. When there's a sale the people that have this months long offer will get the bonus on top of their already elevated offers. It's complete and utter nonsense, but it's proven to exist. And it's an occurence for all tiers of spenders on multiple platforms. At least they closed the Android loophole where reinstalling gave you the 26k offer over and over.

My current Stark offer is £99.99 for 20k HP - That converts to $141.50

This is why I no longer buy Starks

My current offer for a Stark is $99.99 US for 20k HP. I play on iOS but will from now on only buy resources using Amazon Coins because of the discount.

But back on topic, the current deal for "$19.99" is comparable to the cost of a Logan's Loonies deal for 2900 HP. It appears this SL4 pack offers more resources. Too bad it's only a one time offer. I'd take it over the Logan's Loonies if I needed HP in a pinch (for roster slots, health packs)

This pack still open? I saw the starter pack, but have yet to see this one. I'm on Android @CL90

Are you S.H.I.E.L.D. Rank 15 or higher? It only becomes available once you've reached that milestone.

Yup, rank 93

Brigby

Hmm...well the offer only appears for 3 days after becoming available, so perhaps you might've unfortunately missed it?

Magere

Must have missed it then....odd though since the starter pack popped up in my news feed as I logged in....not this one though.
