Absent any official announcement, I'm worried that if I don't buy all the available packs I'll miss out on the one with 13 covers each of Okoye, Jessica Jones and Thor, for the low, low price of $250.
(That's speculation, I have not datamined anything.)
Which makes me think, one way to get confirmation as to what might be upcoming is to post wild theories. Whichever posts are deleted and the posters banned are the right ones.

The only person to every talk about the "Wakanda Pack" is on Facebook and supposedly heard it from a friend - no screenshot was provided. We would have seen some evidence by now if it was real.
Shintok17 said: I just got offered the Deadpool Bundle as soon as the Rare Avengers Bundle expired. I did not buy the 1st Bundle, so I guess they are offering them all one after the other regardless if you buy it or not. That sucks for the people that were pressured into buying them fast thinking they would expire. Or even worse the players that bought the 1st Offer just to be able to buy the other bundles they actually wanted.

For the record, not against these bundles, but the implementation is just evil. Actually, this is like part of the motivation for why they're doing it -- why they're looking for new revenue sources. Players like yourself, some/many of whom were once whales (though not necessarily you, @smkspy), no longer have any real incentive to spend on the game. Post-ISO, post-HP, etc. with only new 5*s really left to chase. Even the marginal advantage of increasing 5* champ levels isn't great enough really to matter much... Maybe so, but it also puts off players like myself of wanting to purchase these bundles. I bought all the previous bundles...but them being spaced out helped to soften the grand total effect. These back to back bundles, ever increasing in price, make it plain and clear that buying them is gonna be $200.Couple that with timed windows and being dependent on buying a previous pack, this is just terrible marketing and an ultra easy way to alienate customers like me that have been supportive of bundles in the past.The vagueness of it all to players not on line or the forums especially lends itself to predatory sales tactics. Though to be clear, in no way against such bundles, but their implementation is almost as bad as the rollout of supports.

They announced if you were eligible for both Deadpool and Avengers packs you'd see both. They haven't announced anything about after that.
Yepyep said: I agree with every word of what you've said here. It puts me off, too. I like seeing offers that I can consider calmly, but I am as susceptible as the next person by predatory tactics and the result is always bad juju -- if I buy, I feel dirty and used. If I don't buy, I feel like I've lost out on something.Nothing good can come of this tactic.

Drlex said: Has anyone actually let the DP offer expire? I am just curious if anything actually comes after if it expires. I wonder if they were going to send them out no matter what or if it was like we all thought. If they do send them out I will be pissed because I would have had more time to come with the money.

Yes I let the DP offer expire. No further offers have come yet (it expired yesterday).
