No we do not have confirmation on that. We don't even have confirmation on 5 coming out, just that there was something said that the devs would like to do one for each origin. Don't know what the one after Super Science is going to be Mutant based or Natural based.

In all the anniversary interviews there was acknowledgment that the mutant pack will contain more animal or monster parts. I forget the exact words.
Also, Sexy Jay made a post prior to the magic set being worked on that many read as alluding to the natural set including lots of 'hood thug parts.
And the all five origins thing has been alluded to on several occasions. Considering how many of the first two sold, they'd be foolish not to finish the set IMO.

Actually #3 (Science) is up for testing now allong w/I15 on test.

***Note that Super Science will be available at the NCsoft.com store once it is pushed to the live servers.

as well as the new Super Tailor feature that will allow you to change the inherent body type of your character to Male, Female or Huge for each costume slot!

Super Tailor Feature:
When visiting the Tailor or Facemaker in City of Heroes or City of Villains, a new NPC is available. The NPC will allow you to change the inherent body type of your character. You can choose Male, Female or Huge body types. Additionally, you will be able to change your characters height. So characters can change from a short, skinny civilian to a HUGE powered brute!
*Note : The described scenario will only work if you have an additional costume slot available at Level 20 or through the redemption of Halloween Salvage.
**The Super Science Booster is only available for a limited time on the Test Server in order to make sure we iron out any bugs that may still be lingering. (This is your chance to get a free sneak peek before it goes live) Characters that were not copied over to test prior to the patch will not have access to the Super Science Booster.
*** Please also note that we have disabled a back end process that copies over active account status. This means that if your subscription ends today, or through the end of the week, you will be unable to access the Training Room until we re-enable that back end process. All active accounts that are not set to expire today (or through the rest of the week) will be unaffected.
Who says science isnt fun??? Thanks for the help see you on The Training Room!

[/ QUOTE ]Yes we do. Positron said they're going to make a super booster for each origin. Whether there's more than 5 is up in the air.

Confirmation? This is the first i've heard of any speculation that the booster packs might come out before Going Rogue.
If you look at the timing of the booster releases, Cyborg came out with issue 13, Magic came out with issue 14, Science is in beta with issue 15, probably not too far of a stretch to think that science will be available when issue 15 is our or soon after. My guess is they are trying to piggy back the super booster content updates in with the issues. No reason (that I know of) that they couldn't between issues, just going on history here. My guess is issues 16 and 17 will both have boosters with them as well.
Whether or not all 5 for the origins will be out before Going Rogue depends on how long it takes Going Rogue to come out since no one official has said anything yet. They've said not issue 16, so its at least as long as issue 17, maybe longer.

Two conversations going on here. One is the OP's speculation regarding when all five origin based booster packs will come out.
The second conversation was spurred by a subsequent post (SP?) questioning the legitimacy of the premise that we are indeed getting five origin booster packs.
All the claims of confirmation are regarding this second, more lively conversation. Probably because the first conversation started by the OP can be little but speculative at this point as it hinges upon when GR itself will actually go live. Nobody in the general public knows this for certain as far as I know.
The official release dates of the boosters #4 and #5 is soon.
The official release date of Going Rogue is soon.
So, it seems that they'll all be released at exactly the same time.

That's an awesomely subtle way to try to get an approximate time line on the release of Going Rogue. I approve and would also like an answer.

Honestly, I hadn't thought about it like that (so please don't spin my question in a way that wasn't intended). I was sincerely asking if anyone knew whether the Devs were forecasting the remaining booster packs for this year or would they spill over into next year.
Hate to tell you "soon" folks, but in the average business model, its more than appropriate to project your business goals up to 5 years out. I'm not interested in knowing the release date for GR; of course, it'd be nice to have all five booster packs available prior to GR's release date (whenever it is), but if its not on the cards, c'est la vie.
Y'all really take this [censored] way too literal sometimes. 
Has there been confirmation yet if all 5 Booster Packs will be available prior to Going Rogue hitting stores?
