Honestly its no surprise there's lots of repeats. The Comic companies likely see bundles as a chance to get new people into things. Ones like this are a smattering of titles to get people in rather than for serious collectors who might well have already been part of earlier bundles. Of course the new Groupees has some high tier bonuses so it shows that they are trying to appeal to long-term fans too even if they don't feel they can keep offering more comics on discount.
We are bound to get bundles like this were its a bit of a flop for long term fans because we already "have" much from the previous; also don't forget part of their intent is to get us buying comics direct or through other services (comixology and others or even physical copies). So a taster gets people into a series.
Even the current Humble comic sale is a bit lackluster and is rather a messy smattering of things even though several of the series on show could do their own bundle easily; so its possible the marketing season for smatterings.
Also don't forget repeats are good; not everyone was here for the earlier bundles so its very easy to miss out and thus gives argument to repeat sales and bundles for new customers.
