Help to determine what costume packs I bought

Here's how you can tell:
/em throwconfetti
If that works, you have the Wedding Pack
Powers associated with each:
Mission Teleporter: Valkyrie/Mac Edition
Mystic Fortune: Magic Pack
Ninja Leap: Natural Pack
Secondary Mutation: Mutant Pack
Self Destruct: Cyborg Pack
Pocket D Teleporter: GvE Pack
Also, go to the Tailor in the Rikti War Zone. If he gives you the option to change between Male, Female and Huge, then you have the Super Science Pack. There are others that give this option, but the one in RWZ is the only one that everyone can get to that isn't located near ones that don't offer size changes.

Thank you for the sugestions. I was fully hoping there was a way to simply list the packs.
To make a suggestions to the game developers, please add more details to the game account screen. Thank you.

It's almost like they want us to "double-buy" things by accident.
Good luck figuring it out.

See ParagonWiki for a complete list of booster packs with release dates. That should help. But ultimately you're going to have to look at your powers and emotes to really tell.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Maybe they figure it'll motivate us to buy one of everything so we don't HAVE to know which ones we don't have.

The only "pack" I had was the cyborg one. Well and good v evil, but that was more an expack then a costume pack (and was the only one listed by name).|

I dont have $50 to drop right now, you'd think they could sell all five together at $45 or something, any how, weddings arnt my thing, what origen packs do people like the most? I probly have to get Magic as it is my favorite one to pick for my characters. Need to decide what of the rest to get and how soon I might get them.
Thanks again all for the help and sugestions
If you purchase the Architect Edition, that comes with your choice of either the Magic or Cyborg pack. Plus the code gives you an additional 30 days game time (which you would otherwise be paying separately anyway). All in all, the total net cost for AE is a negative value.
Mac Edition would also be either a net negative or zero cost as well, since it includes the Valkyrie pack and yet another 30 days time.

Hmm... but doesn't that only work once? If he got his cyborg pack through the Architect Edition already, I don't think he can get Magic the same way.

He didn't say whether or not he got the Cyborg pack via AE or not. I was guessing from the info presented that it was purchased by itself. If he only bought the Cyborg booster and not AE, then he could get AE and select the Magic Pack.

How much does AE ed. cost? I guess if it is under $15 it could be worth buying a copy.
$20 but you get a free month ($15) and either the cyborg or magic pack.
Edit: This assumes you haven't applied the AE edition already to your account.

Unless you can find it in a store cheaper. I know some of the stores in the States are still selling the old DVD edition, which comes with the prestige slide (which I've been desperately trying to pick up for my girlfriend, as she's jealous of mine, but is impossible to find in Canada)

Architect Edition Edition (since that is what people seem to be calling AE... Blasted US DRD Department of the US) breaks down as follows:
Box: $20
Time: $15-
Booster: $10-
Net Cost: Negative $5
So yeah, it is well worth it, since you are interested in a booster anyway (if it is the Magic one you want), and you would be spending that $15 on your subscription regardless. Applying the code will push your next billing date back a month from whenever the next one would have been.

The serial codes are exactly that: serial codes. While it doesn't take a genius, it takes effort to properly label codes with the name of the booster/code in question in the database. The game knows the difference. I know that college students can do better than to label each booster as "Perk".
This range or hash of serials = Wedding pack
This range or hash of serials = Cyborg pack
This range or hash of serials = Magic pack
This range or hash of serials = Natural pack
This range or hash of serials = Science pack
And so on.

I have taken a break of some time and now I am back.
I see many game items in the form of themed costume packs. I know I have at least one already installed. How can I tell what each of the following is for?
Some are easy, others are not. I don't want to end up buying the same costume/perk pack again.
Thanks everyone
