I don't feel any type of way about Lux:I / MF / Voli, so none of their bundles appeal to me. And all the other ones are way more than I feel responsible paying for.
If those were a little cheaper then maybe I'd buy a bandle one because ALLL of my platinum vaults are going to Yuumi (literally received almost 200 shards for her in the past week, and my last two platinum vaults were only for her) and she's totally caulkblocking any progress because I don't have any bandle crystals.
I believe the Starter Bundle converts excess shards into Stardust at a 10 to 1 ratio (like all excess character shards no matter where you earn them) so you should still get something for those Bard and Garen shards.
The other possibility is that it may work on discounting-rules instead (reducing the cost to purchase based on the redundant items) but in either case - you shouldn't "waste" the Garen and Bard shards.
IF you want to wait until they get constellations you might be waiting a long time, we don't know how long that'll take. They might get them really soon or one might be long delayed. It's still a very good deal. Up to you of course.
