    Is this a hint at a feeder for Banner?

    I think that's most likely.

    Sometimes I wonder, do they really think a 4 year old old 4* should cost $80+ to buy outright?

    I would normally purchase an offer like this. My Rhulk is at 315 and I wouldn’t mind the extra levels. Price is reasonable compared with previous offers. Need some better communication before I continue spending though.

    Edited: I interpreted that he will be the feeder, instead of "Brigby said".

    The deal does look bad, compared to Mordo's deal (no cp for alliance though):

    • Starts: 5/20/19 12:00pm ET
    • Ends: 5/23/19 12:00pm ET
    • Cost: $19.99 USD (converted to your region's currency and/or platform)
    • Contents:
      • 3 covers of Mordo (1 of each color)
      • 2x Latest Legends Token
      • 1,800 Hero Points
      • 12,000 Iso-8
     :/ 

    Mordo's deal occured during Endgame's celebration, so it might be the reason why it's better.

    Compared to:

    1. Asgardian Armor Bundle

    • Starts: 2/21 12pm ET
    • Ends: 2/26 12pm ET
    • Cost: $24.99 USD (Converted to your region's currency and/or platform)
    • Content:
      • 3x Covers of Valkyrie (Asgardian Warrior) [One of each ability]
      • 1x Asgardian Armor Costume
      • 2,200 Hero Points

    May 7th 2018

    2. Stars and Stripes Offer
    • Available to all players
    • Available in the Heroes for Hire store
    • Price: $19.99 USD (converted accordingly to your region's currency and platform)
    • Available for 7 days
    • Maximum 1 purchase
    • Contents:
      • 3x Peggy Carter (Captain America) covers (One of each ability)
      • 1x Master Support token
      • 1,500 Red Iso-8
    However, compared to the above two offers, it looks similar.

    He didn’t come out and say it in this thread; The Hunt starts on 7/29, so it could just be referencing that storyline

    I didn't realise the Hunt is happening this weekend. Thanks @TheRoadWarrior for the reminder. I have edited my comment.

    This Red Hulk deal looks random and the sentence that made me think that he will be a feeder is:

    "chase after Bruce Banner and The Hulk this weekend!"

    Only the 5* version is both "The Hulk" and "Bruce Banner". Hopefully, Rhulk is a feeder and it comes with a Bruce Banner rework as well.

    This offer is tempting for me, as I am at the point where 4* Marvel will start tanking green for my Red Hulk with one more level, making the anti-GrockdusaGam team 4Carol/Red Hulk/Grock team less effective. Then again, those teams are becoming less common in the current Gritty Bishop meta. Hmmm....

    I thought the only event where you're chasing The Hulk is the 7 day Hulk event.  Is that the plot of The Hunt also?  Only thing I remember about the event is how awful Florida is, and you face Dino in the last day. 

    Just reiterating what's been brought up before; that they should post the storyboards on the site.  Due to trying to speed clear, I still have no idea what's happening in the event after The Hunt: Cosmic Chaos  :D

    "The Hunt" is about Bullseye trying to find/assassinate Fury, and the Avengers trying to find and catch up to Bullseye before he succeeds.

    Definitely not a Hulk story.

    Sometimes flavor text is just flavor text.....

    The multiple feeder bundles (Carnage, Mordo, Miles, 4CM) have all been better than this one, in my opinion.  

    I don’t expect Rulk to feed Banner anytime soon....and the usual MO is to announce the feeder change before the bundle is available to goose sales.

    I don't understand the 1x CP. Why even bother? I guess it's nice for your alliance, but that's not doing much for the buyer.

    But if everyone in your alliance buys it then everybody gets 20 CP 🤔

    Definitely just flavor text. Referencing Thunderbolt Ross's back-story just sounded more exciting than saying "Here's a bundle. /end" 

    That and I wanted to sneak in an Area 51 reference somehow :D

    Oh no. I thought it would be a nice surprise with Endgame beating Avatar and the digital release of Endgame tomorrow. :o

    Back to waiting for the next new 4*. >:)
