I have bought a version of the "MPC Instrument Bundle" in the past which contained these things:

Am planning to buy the MPC3 Bible revision separately sometime and I see that I have an upgrade path from the MPC2 version (which I own), but I also notice that there are newer instruments added (particularly "MPC Upright Bass") to newer versions of the instrument bundle.

Since Just wondering if there's any way to 'upgrade' my old bundle purchase to include these newer instruments, or if the only way is to buy those instruments specifically?

The newer bundle offers a significant discount overall but I already have a lot of the instruments inside from the old bundle, and the new instrument(s) that I'd like to add to my old bundle aren't on sale at all.

The bundles are a way of offering a bunch of related expansions together in a single purchase, so the discount is really just a one time discount for bulk buying many expansions at the same time. I'm always happy to provide a discount for bulk purchases, so if you have a few individual expansions you'd like to buy in a single order just let me know what you want via email or PM and I'll work it all out for you. I can also offer a little extra discount on payments via bank transfer as it avoids paypal/card processing costs.

I'm also close to launching a new site design for MPC-Samples and am currently looking at the possibility of incorporating a points system to reward customer loyalty (i.e. exchange points for a discount voucher).

Strictly speaking it's not an upgrade path. MPC Bible 3 is a completely different course to MPC Bible 2, it was written from the ground up with an entirely new course structure for MPC3, so they really are two completely separate products. The offer was more of a launch/crossgrade deal for Bible 2 owners, many of whom had bought MPC Bible 2 during the MPC3 beta period and had felt they hadn't really got the full benefit of the MPC2 course (offer ends 31st Aug BTW).
