Clarification on Caps Comissary Event and a potential solution to those missed 200 points from BGs

I see two objectives that give points for trades that are not in the store yet: 6 star featured crystal bundle and 6 star crystal bundle.
Now this can either be two things,
1) The items will be added tomorrow as part of the final additions to the loyalty store
Or
2) And I really hope it isn’t this, but they are already available , just only for the lower progression players below Paragon, and the Paragons are not able to see them.
Really hoping someone doesn’t comment on the thread confirming the latter, because in the past paragons had access to reward options that were also available for lower progression. For example the recent mind and body filament side quest store.
ALSO, the selector in the final milestone presents the Paragon players with a choice of having the reward from the lower progressions (most are skipping civil warrior and going for the lower progression reward anyway).
If the only deal that will be added tomorrow is the “Loyalty Selector Bundle” and the two objectives I listed at the top of the thread are already in the game, just not available for Paragon to view, then having these added tomorrow as well could be a massive pro player move by Kabam as it can offer alternative means for f2p players to rack up the last bit of points they needed to hit their next milestone, or if you’re like me and you did the first BGs objective before the event started, this could also provide a means to account for that (since with all due respect, there was no prior announcement, and if there was , those players could have waited to do their BGs objectives)

6* Unstoppable Colossus is 1600k
7* Crystal is at least 3200k (3.2 millions)
Not everyone can put in that kind of effort, but the objective was not to force people to spend, it was to reward players who choose to spend, or put in enough effort to reach that goal without spending.
After buying all the non-unit offers, including the feature to 7*star conversion, I'll still be 400 points short after the final set of BG objective Sunday.
So yes, technically, I guess I could have done this f2p and without buying any unit offers. But it would have required me to have known to not complete the set of BG objectives before the event (200), and also gained the full cooperation of my alliance to let me hit all the bosses and junction nodes (45 per day x 5), and I would've needed to be the only one in my battle group trying for it.
I assume it was designed like this on purpose, but it definitely doesn't feel great to find out at the end that I didn't really have a chance to begin with.
