The Return of Lightspeed Bundles
Hello there! I am a new player who acquired the Hyperdrive Bundle and I would really like to have the previous lightspeed bundles available for purchase. I know that nobody knows if, when or which LS...

Wasn't the stated purpose for the lightspeed bundles to catch up new players?
What they actually did was catch up new players that were playing over a specific time period. And I would be upset if ASDA said they wanted new asparagus lovers to have access to asparagus then gated access to the asparagus to those who knew the ASDA existed during a small timeframe.
No, it was for any player to catch up.
The actual purpose of such packs are to earn money for CG/EA. This is why they are not on sale permanently so as to create FOMO, and that the next time packs come around players who didn't buy the previous one will consider that they only have a limited window to get such offers and buy them. Whereas if they were permanent they would wait until they really needed the content.
Also your ASDA comparison is poor as supermarkets (and other retailers) have used limited time offers for decades for precisely the same reason.
