BUSTED
Edit: Some new faces as well i might add

Don't forget Vandal!
Really, let me think of all the awesome costume bits we've gotten for free...
Exoproto
Stealth
Arctic
Vandal
Vines
Ulterior
Enforcer
Jester
Tons of new hairstyles
Tons of new faces
Tons of new aura combinations
Flies Aura
I know I'm forgetting something, so I apologize.
Even those are a LOT of free costumes.

Those were all created well over a year ago.
Ulterior, vines, and faces were in issue 15, and I would love to hear in what reality "June 29" is "over a year ago".

Waiting for the OP's clever response here.

Power Customization. Not exactly a costume piece, but I would contend that Power Customization offers more customizability options than all of the booster packs combined. I have a Sonic Attack/Ice Manipulation Blaster, and on one of her costume slots, no two of her powers are the same color. Although the Ice Manipulation powers are rather similar, that's because I like blue ice.

Well there was two new patterns added in issue 16 . . . . .

That was over two years ago, by the same highly specialized calendar.

- Issue 12 included the unlockable Roman costume bits just and weapons for completing the TF (and additional new weapons for beating it twice)
- Issue 13 introduced a ton of costume parts for Day Jobs, including spiffy new jackets, ties, and shirts, that were free with the issue.
- Issue 14 was all about the Architect and not much else
- Issue 15 had the aforementioned Vines and Ulterior patterns
- Issue 16 was all about Power Customization. No costumes, but craploads of things to do with Powers in the Tailor.

Trust the computer. The computer knows all.
I do consider auras, weapons, and power customization to be costuming. They certainly aren't powers.
While the MA didn't give us new costumes, they gave us the opportunity to dress up our own foes however we wanted with minimal unlocking opening up costume pieces that our own PCs don't have access to. Then, they gave us the ability to tint the foes.
It's only a tunnel vision attitude of narrowly defining costumes as bits of clothing or armor for our PCs that would make one think we've had no costume loving for two years.

There does appear to be a trend with the bulk of new costumes being primarily in booster packs! That may just be a necessary revenue stream that NCSoft/Paragon Studios need to take. I'm ok with that so long as we get pack like the one made available yesterday.
I would; however, like to see more flat textures added on a regular basis. More complex mods can remain the perview of the booster packs.

Yes please. Simple for free, complex for cash.
