Contact the publishers as well as the Connect store -- it may be the publishers who are not releasing the other books, not Connect which has decided arbitrarily to sell only parts of sets.

The publisher may be bringing out new printings of those missing books. Even in the paper world, I've discovered an author who is new to me but who has a backlog of many books (Martha Grimes was one such author) that when I went to order some of the earlier books was told "They haven't been released yet." What that meant was that the original printing(s) was sold out and a new printing was being prepared but hadn't been made yet. Sometimes that means completely re-entering the original text since it hadn't been done on a computer originally.

That might be the case with the missing books in those series.

But in any event, don't just make your dissatisfaction known to Connect, you should also let the publisher know AND try to contact the author and let him/her know so that he or she can put pressure on the publisher to rectify the situation.
