Yes, you do include "the materials you need to reach Relic 3!," and you don't write that they are "all of the materials you need to reach Relic 3!," so 'buyer beware.' But you are using the interpretive flexibility of the language in the hopes that players will then buy the pack twice to get all of the materials needed to bring a character to Relic 3 (each pack has half the materials needed, except the fragmented and incomplete signal data, which is a little more than half). Such acts in advertising, though, don't foster trust in a company and its practices.
How about just being clear in what you are actually selling?
Yeah, that's particularly head-scratching. To go from R2 to R3, they got the number of Bronzium Wirings and Fragmented Signal Data right, but they overshot Carbonite Circuit Boards by 20, and shorted Chromium Transistors by 10 and Incomplete Signal Data by 5.
