Evolution Series bundles - 'Everything' Bundle inconsistencies, doesnt have all content?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Right now there are 4 bundles from Evolution Series available on sale

Everything bundle
Mega Bundle
World Percussion Bundle
Originals Bundle

The 'everything' bundle says its "The most comprehensive collection of Evolution Series instruments" and is by far the most expensive bundle, however when you click on it it says it only contains the following contents:

Bowed Colors Cello Vol 1
Bowed Colors Violin Vol 1
Brass and Wood
Bukhu
Miyabi
Prepared Colors Steel
Vocal Colors Bronte
World Colors Bawu
World Colors Dizi
World Colors Erhu
World Colors Guqin
World Colors Pipa
World Colors Suona
World Reeds Harmonium
World Strings Guzheng
World Strings Oud
World Strings Saz
World Strings Tanpura

This is a fraction of the Evolution Series content, and doesnt even include most of the things from the other 3 available bundles (which all combined dont even add up to the cost of this 'everything' bundle). Additionally, on the Evolution Series website they have the 'everything' bundle listed and it has significantly more content - https://www.evolutionseries.com/product/everything-bundle/ including, well pretty much 'everything' as I would expect. Is the bundle on the Native Instruments site actually 'everything'? Is the listed stuff included missing heaps of the content? Thanks

Personally then I agree that terms such as 'everything bundle' has become an expression that is used far too loosely. And I also think that when they make bundles then they should make the bundles more complete and also try to avoid overlapping unless they offer a discount for already owned products or at least offer one big complete bundle where you get the content of the added bundles.

Despite that you are right about the 'everything' here then your comparison is hardly fair. On the page that you are referring to the 'everything' bundle is very much more expensive if you want 'everything' and is also a 'build a bundle' type of a bundle :

Its especially confusing as there are 2 other bundles:

Origins - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/pricing/originals-bundle/
Mega - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/pricing/mega-bundle/

Both of the of these bundles combined have the full contents of the Everything bundle (plus much more), yet are half of the price. So it especially seems the case that the Everything bundle is either mis-named, mis-priced, or missing a ton of content that is intended

OK, since making this post it looks like they have 'corrected' the prices.

The 'Everything' bundle is still the same (price and content), they have just massively increased the cost of the other 3 bundles.

(amounts in my local currency AUD):

Bundle name	Original price	New price	Increase
Origins Bundle	was $149	now $484	x3 price increase
Mega Bundle	was $374	now $1569	x4 price increase
World Percussion Bundle	was $274	now $939	x3.5 price increase

Not exactly what i was expecting/hoping, so.. sorry everyone I guess who was going to get the bundles at more reasonable prices? :/

The cost on 3 out of 4 of the Evolution Series sale bundles just went up by ~3-4x as much last night. Their new 'sale' price is significantly more than even their original 'full' price was just yesterday.

Originals - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/pricing/originals-bundle/
Mega - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/pricing/mega-bundle/
World Percussion - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/pricing/world-percussion-bundle/

Bit of a shame as I was keen on getting them. This seems a bit ****** to so massively increase the price into the sale period. :/ Anyone able to get them at their cheaper prices?

Oh , well that's news at least.

That reminds me about a short while back then I received an email offer about buying something, it said that the offer were, I think, % 30 lower than the usual offer. Then I went to the site to see the offer and thought the price a lot cheaper than % 30 extra discount. So I thought that the price were almost too good to be true , so even if I felt that I couldn't afford it and even if it were still not exactly free then I did an 'insta-buy'.

So yeah , sometimes one in hindsight wish that one had clicked that buy button, though on the other hand then one can not buy it all. And trying to help you and others here then it happens, in-between at least, that I really want to buy what people are referring to , like the three bundles that you referred to , since it sounded as great stuff and great offers. But somewhere between few to none of us have the money to buy it all and it's not more than a few weeks ago that I last saw some other bundle discussion where both product and bundle were so great that I really wanted to buy it , which I obviously did not have the money to do. So in between then it's about being happy with what you got and with what you actually did buy rather than worrying about all the stuff that you can not afford anyway 😀

Anyway , had I had more money in general then I am certain that I have even more important stuff to buy that I can't afford in any case now as it is 🤔
