Did I see this right? Rev skin is going to be $50?
Well I guess $43 because you get 7 packs. Arent legend skins normally $18 at most?

@hayhor it's a 67 dollar (price of individuals) set at a 50 dollar price point! Specifically designed to make people who only want the skin pay more. If you can't buy the items separately, IMO it's a scam.
@pastaclown It's written in the blog that the items are available for direct purchase(coins or crafting mats).
The bundle is obviously for people who are gonna buy 24 packs.
8 event packs cost 5600
You get 7 and a skin(basically 8 packs) for 5000. So that saves you 600 coins.
The octane bundle saves you 300 coins. Not much discount, but hey I ain't buying lol.

@BaldWraithSimp does it say that specifically every single skin can be bought for direct purchase or made with materials? I'm always skeptical of generalized statements like, "Items will be available for direct purchase."
Because it's open to interpretation, a half-truth if you will. As long as they put something up there for direct purchase / made with mats, they can't technically be called out on it. Technically they haven't lied, because there are items up for direct purchase, and now the disappointment falls onto the consumer for wrongly interpreting a statement.
Edit: If it does say specifically all bundled skins can be bought directly without packs, then IMO it wouldn't be a scam anymore.
@pastaclown"All 24 items will be available through direct purchase (for Apex Coins or Crafting Metals) and in Event Apex Packs for the entire duration of the event"
From the blogThis can be misleading too, in a way 😛
- @BaldWraithSimp As I recall, they are set at higher crafting prices than normal and Epics sell for $10 each.
There's no doubt conditioning and manipulation is going on here. Is this pack a "deal"? Sure given that 8 packs would cost 5600 at 700 per pack. But that's just it. They have successfully conditioned the community to think it's ok to have $7 Apex packs.
Then there's the heirloom itself. They start out in Iron Crown with you having to pay extra on top of the $168 for 24 packs. They "back off" by giving the heirloom at no extra cost if you spend $168. How is these even remotely accepted? Because they started with a Wraith heirloom that is only guaranteed to drop after 500 apex packs LOL!!! $168 is a "deal" compared to the prospect of opening hundreds of Apex packs for an heirloom.
