Paragon Market: Vanguard costume bundle include weapons art?

I know that the weapon pieces are available in the store; I'm not certain if they're included in the pack, but I would imagine so.
I am a little apprehensive, as all the sites I have found state the only way to unlock vanguard pieces is with the Vanguard merits. Of course it seems the information of nearly every CoX site is horribly outdated.
Store says 23 costume unlocks with the purchase, but that would have to include a full set of light and heavy for average man, average woman, and large man. I also remember there being 2 to 3 different "hat" options, and 2 to 3 "head detail" options for all 3 optional slots. I also don't know if the "costume change" emote is part of the package.
The (outdated) weapon list has 2 Vanguard rifles, 2 axe, 1 bow, 1 broadsword, 1 katana, 1 claw, and 2 dual blades (same art as single katana and broadsword, so unsure if it counts). I am not sure if there is Vanguard art for mace, beam rifle, pulse rifle, or dual pistols.
With the number of weapons, and the number of armor pieces needed to cover both the light and heavy versions of the 3 body types (yes, some would be shared), I am thinking the weapon art is not included in the store purchase.
I know the vanguard bundle specifically states no emotes are included. It is not clear on the weapons.

Weird, I made 2 claws brutes last week and I had the Vanguard claws available from level 1 on the toon creator. I didn't have the rifle available or any costume piece on any starting toon. Didn't check swords, is that a vet perk? I have about 30 months of paid time iirc.

I just logged in to see, I do have access to the Vanguard Claws, but all the others I checked (Broadsword, DB, Assault Rifle, Katana) are locked to me, as well as all the costume parts. Weird, the only item I bought separately so far was the Impervium Mantle cape, besides that only the Mutant costume bundle and other non-customization related stuff (auction house limit, Rocket Board and Beam Rifle - which I have no Vanguard option either). I was actually surprised to see I could make a toon with Vanguard Claws, btw when I returned I recall creating a claws/dark scrap on Praetoria I barely played and I didn't have Vanguard claws as an option since there was no Paragon Market to check unlockable content.
Thanks for the info tho!
I had the points, and it is close enough to the end of the month for another 400pts, so I bought it. You do get the weapons, as well as the costume pieces... Didn't try the Vanguard costume change emote.

You probably bought the claws then. |

Use this command in game:
/mypurchases
Look for the line:
Vanguard Claws
Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters
I bought the pack a few days ago. I can confirm it comes with all the costume pieces and at least the claws, sword, katana, blades and axe (can't remember about the rifle off the top of my head, but I want to say yes). It does not include the sigil costume change emote.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Everyone can look at this published google spreadsheet:

Items with the category of "costume" are included with the bundle of the same pack.
