Commentaries and Anglican editions

I'm currently on Anglican silver.  I had a chat with an online consultant last night about whether it's worth upgrading to future base packages eg. gold/diamond for the commentaries, but most of the commentaries I want would not be available with the base package upgrade.  The commentaries on my list are:

Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible

International Theological Commentary  (this one can be obtained with Anglican Diamond)

International Critical Commentary(I think I get this one with an upgrade to Anglican Portfolio(!!!) edition)

Anchor Yale Bible

New Interpreters Bible

Sacra Pagina

Paideia

Word Biblical Commentary

I'm just leaving the list here because I'm surprised that they don't feature in any kind of Anglican collection (especially the Brazos) and I'm hoping somebody will spot this and think that putting some of these commentaries together would be a fabulous thing to do right before Christmas.

Also, I have a question about future publications within a series.  If a new commentary comes out in the Brazos series which is, I think, unfinished, would I need to buy it or would it be automatically added to the collection?

    In general, when new commentaries become available you would need to pay for them.

    Typically they are made available as separate upgrades.

    If / when they are added into the "series bundle" this would be for new purchasers of the complete bundle and wouldn't result in automatic upgrades for those who bought the earlier bundle.

    I was a bit surprised not to see the New Interpreter's Bible in some of the Anglican 6 bundle myself. Since it is one of the few commentaries that would cover every reading in the anglican/episcolpalian Church except 

    The Common of Saints 

    Of a Martyr I:

    Psalm 126 or Psalm 121

    2 Esdras 2:42-48

    1 Peter 3:14-18, 22

    Matthew 10:16-22

    and daily lectionary

    All Saints’ Day

    November 1

    Morning Prayer

    Psalm 111Psalm 112

    2 Esdras 2: 42-47

    Hebrews 11: 32—12: 2
