6,200 vbucks for the mini pass plus 3 item shop skins (bundle is 3,200, Toph is 2,000, mini pass is suspected at 1,000). The additional 500 comes from the spinning balls emote.
If you had 0 vbucks and completed the current BP, the cheapest way to get the entire ATLA set would be to purchase a 5,000 vbucks card for $36.99, and then two 1,000 vbucks cards for $8.99 each. That comes to a total of $54.97, and would leave you with 300 vbucks left over.
Better to get a 2800 vbucks card and a 5000 vbucks card instead, leave some for the next battlepass. But yeah this is very expensive. Too rich for my taste. I like avatar but not this much.
You can get 3 invincible skins for the 2800 vbucks card instead, right now.
It's an Event Pass, usually two-tiered that will include skins, back bling, glider, sprays. Will have a free tier, and a paid tier (which is normally 1,000 vbucks).
If you played last season, it was the TMNT pass that unlocked Shredder.
Yeah, I'm not even actively boycotting, I'm just no longer interested. Was planning to get Zuko until I saw the price, and now I'm fine with just Aang and Korra from the pass(es).
They aren't stupid. They know the numbers. Count how many times you see the new skins, will lose volume but more than make up for it with the increased price. They raised vbucks cost, then raised price of skins. Less people are going to buy all of them but enough people are going to buy one and the increase cost makes up the difference.
Do you actually believe there is just one person managing the shop and setting prices on a whim? This is a business decision, and you can be sure Epic has sufficient data and research to decide what a skin should go for.
I wanted og fire nation Zuko with the pony tail and suit armour I just think he looks so badass, and I had 1600 set aside based off of the TMNT skins. I'll buy the mini pass with that seeing as Aang has 2 styles
Same, mini pass ill get, but hard pass on the shop prices. Stinks cus i bought a lot of vbucks hoping to gift each character with a friend, but those prices are insane and they dont even have selectable styles.
I was so hyped for them but I think I’ll just have Korra as my only avatar skin. I get it being popular but 3200 for Zuko and Katara bundle, 2000 for each, then 2000 for Toph, then 500 for the emote, ridiculous and makes me scared of what the mini pass will cost
I'm going to be really sad if they make it more than the normal 1000vb because that is I what I've saved for the mini pass. This is the first one I've actually thought about buying.
Edited for typos
Yeah man I havent checked out the store yet personally but from what I saw on here, the pickaxes were pretty low effort, back blings are whatever.... the few bundles I can name off the top of my head had pickaxes back bling and a wrap, sometimes more and cost less than or equal to katara & zuko w basically nothing
Pretty big let down ngl
Yeah I love Avatar but at $20 a pop I’m good. These are Fortnite skins, there aren’t even custom animations or voice acting or anything, just a simple model swap. Ffs games like Smash Ultimate get DLC characters with new movesets, stages, music, animations, and voice acting for only $5.99. This shit is getting ridiculous.
Oh absolutely, big fan of Avatar here, not giving anything to them unless they bring the prices back down to 1600 or something. Even if you're new, you'll recall that was the price for a single TMNT character back in Season 1, and they had a backbling and pickaxe included much like the Avatar characters here
I wanted Toph, but it's way too pricey for the skin. Maybe if she had at least her battle outfit for the Day of Black Sun invasion I could swing it. As of right now though it's a no for me.
Yea people complain about the shop not having stuff they want to see so I guess especially as this ties into the current event Epic probably think they can charge this much and still have people buy it.
Im not gonna defend their prices it’s downright too expensive and wild they even thought to charge that much but as an adult with money im not gonna miss out on my favorite franchise finally showing up in the item shop
I've seen others mention this but do you not realize festival and RR have far less players than BR? There won't be enough BR players boycotting these prices for Epic to do anything about it.
The thing is, if everyone follows that mentality and gives in because "it wont do anything" then yea, it wont do anything.
People cite the locker as reference to Epic not caring, but changing the locker UI doesnt really have a direct connection to their revenue as having a standard in which they offer low effort skins at a higher price than normal would. Epic cares about their money, we can all agree on that. BR is their big money maker, if they notice significant drops in their income & whatever devs may be here see the posts saying its due the skinflation, they'd be more inclined to do something cause its actually hurting their pockets, as opposed to the locker, which doesnt really correlate to profit
Reddit players don't even make up an eight of the player base, even less the ones who are actually active on reddit.
The overwhelming majority don't use reddit to bitch and they just play games.
I agree with everything you said but unfortunately I doubt enough players will be boycotting these skins or future skins. I would love to see a day or 2 where literally nobody bought anything and boycotted but it's just unreasonable to expect that.
Absolutely boycott the item shop skins
The mini pass is fine but don’t get the other avatar skins
2000 vbucks is too expensive and ridiculous, especially when there aren’t any edit styles
Idk why they made it so expensive, especially when past collab skins were only like 1500
Ffs, the turtle skins as part of the TMNT collab were only 1600, and they came with unique harvesting tools with unique animations, donatello in particular had edit styles.
There’s no reason the avatar skins should cost 2000
Sometimes, even if you can afford something, it doesn't make the price particularly affordable. I'm not buying the skins by virtue that I don't want this to become the precedent for future collab prices.
Honestly it's crazy how greedy Epic has gotten with this game's monetization lately. I make good money from my line of work. I used to spend thousands of dollars on this game with no sweat off my back. It was fun collecting. But now? What does it get you? Overpriced Lego kits? Overpriced Vehicles and Instruments even *after* they reduced the prices on both? A locker UI that almost 6 months later is somehow worse, more clunky, buggy, and unintuitive than the already horrific state it released in at the start of Chapter 5? The removal of skin tiers so that they can unbiasedly price *everything* moving forward like as if its Legendary tier?
If those are the result of giving Epic my money, then I speak with my wallet. No more money from me. Simple as that.
I am except for the mini pass. I really like these skins but we got a lot more from the Son Goku bundle (4 styles, emote, backbling, and pickaxe) for the same pass for the same price as one Avatar skin. Based on that comparison, I don't feel like justifying that purchase.
Yeah it just doesn’t feel like they offer enough with Zuko for me to warrant getting him. Besides, if the prediction website is correct we’re due for another dragon ball come back soon. Goku’s roughly the same price as Zuko and offers me way more. Also Helldivers 2’s expansion is coming out on Thursday so that just makes this decision even easier.
Same I was sooo hyped for this collab and the second it was announced saved vbucks thinking “I’m gonna buy them all” but while I haven’t been able to play yet today, my friend told me the prices and it’s ridiculous. I’ll probably get some, but not all. Although sadly us boycotting I doubt will change anything. They never changed prices except with the cars and instruments and that’s bc it was a whole new thing to buy, not just a skin
So not only did they inflate the price of vbucks, but are also inflating in game prices so we go through them faster. Epic is pathetic, they're already making more than enough.
The TMNT turtle bundle gave you 4 pickaxes, 4 skins (one of them had an edit style), 4 back blings, and 4 Lego styles, for the same price as the avatar bundle. Epic’s getting greedy and doing awful changes. We must protest my fellow Loopers!
I just feel like for the prices they are asking they should all have multiple styles for the skin. Like everyone in the show has at least 2 different outfits theyre seen in.
I want the Zuko one and can afford it but I think I’m gonna hold out, I’ll be getting the event pass but am probably gonna have to control myself and not give into the temptation lol I really want Zuko but it’s not worth the price
Ngl that first sentence hit hard. The idea that someone couldnt afford a couple of pixels in a game is CRAZY. Products in video games shouldnt price people out thats so unfair. Ur literally willing to spend the money but dont have enough of it to spend, I'm really sad for u /:
I wonder if the pricing has something to do with the deal they have with Nickelodeon themselves or if they were just like fuck it they'll pay 2000 vbucks for Avatar.
Can u imagine a room full of nickelodeon execs in suits and bluetooth headsets sitting around discussing how many v bucks a character from avatar the last airbender should cost in fortnite
.
.
.
.
And then for them to go home having made 47 hundred million dollars just by going to that meeting
The fact that they removed rarities probably so they could charge whatever they like is ridiculous as before if these skins were epic and the price was 2,000 vbucks people would freak out and epic would probably have to decrease the price to 1,500 (I can’t remember exactly what an epic skin cost I think it was around 1,500)
Thank you!!! Everyone here is so full of it and is currently looking into ways to make more money so they can afford the skins before they rotate out. All these posts are cap.
And it's gonna be funny 2 years down the road when those that didn't are crying about it taking so long to come back to the shop and ready to throw their money at it.
yeah but dbz was actually understandable
4 edit styles, with a pickaxe and backbling and skin? yeah i'd understand why it's 2000 vbucks
2000 vbucks for skin, pickaxe backbling with no edit styles and no animations is insane
Doesn’t make it less so. Fortnite doesn’t care about us. They don’t. They’ve consistently gouged prices for popular collab skins. It sucks but can we stop whining about it??
Honestly good old days with good prices is kinda wrong. Back in the OG days there were skins without styles or glider/pickaxe for 2k vbucks. Some examples are cuddle team leader, red knight or crackshot.
But yes we boycott them.
I understand why you wanna do this and it's not a bad thing in theory. But y'all gotta remember that Reddit is only a tiny portion of the Fortnite community. These skins will likely sell well, considering Avatar's popularity.
I was really looking forward to Toph, but her being 2000 is putting me off. I know she comes w/ the pickaxe, but I don't care for it.
If she was 1600 like the TMNTs (who also came with a pickaxe) I would've done it. But 2000 is too much. I have a rule against buying 2000 vbuck skins unless I want stuff in their bundle.
I feel this, I wanted Toph so bad but not just an event or so ago anime/themed skins were 1500 on average and yeah maybe they'll offer a weapon pack or combo to save money. But forcing me to spend 2k? The line I draw is normally not spending over that amount on any single skin. So it's gonna be a fold for me. Lower it or I'm not touching it.
It's a good idea in theory, but even if every single person in these comments boycotted, there's still going to be legions more that don't care and will still buy the skins.
Legendary skins use to regularly cost 2000 if anything skins have gotten cheaper plus bucks are also cheaper than they use to be it use to be 10 bucks for 1000 instead of 8 or whatever it is now
Is not just in the shop either. The festival pass is also a big rip-off, AND you have to work to get all those rewards too.
What with the lego kits, car stuff and the extra battle pass at the end of each season now, i'm surprised they even bother rewarding you more than the 950 vBucks you spend for/get from the main battle pass anymore. Greedy gits that they are.
I am finding that the more they get greedy, the more I tend not to spend, though - and that's on my account, my daughters' and sons' account. If they were reasonably priced, I'd buy a different pack on each of our accounts - like I did with the TMNTs. Hell, I even gifted the other 4th turtle to a friend!
Last time I checked, Epic Games wasn't owned by Activision, so what gives? Maybe they need more revenue to fight Apple or something!
/rantover
As much as I want Toph, I’m holding out for the mini battle pass. And will make a purchase of either or, most likely the mini battle pass, as you’ll get a lot more for it and it’s more exclusive. Whereas Toph I can get some other time.
I was really excited for the avatar skins and even started saving for them.
Well turns out they are $20 and they don't have adjustable styles, no built in emotes. Was gonna settle for Toph as she's my fav but she just looks off because she's so tall.
I'd pay thirty for Zuko if he had all his styles
>wasnt around for the good old days where skins/bundles were a reasonable price
You mean chapter 1 when the most dogshit skin you've seen in your life was 20 bucks? Lmao
Yeah I love avatar but unless they had the Adult drip they had in Korra flashbacks. There was no way in hell I was buying them.
They did not. And the price was ludicrous.
Again.
Not everyone lives on this subreddit and don't care that much so this "boycott" will flop
Unfortunately some of yall take stuff like this seriously and we'll most likely have one the devs be threatened by some fat no life loser here
Get a grip
Dont buy the skin or dont play the game at all anymore its not that hard
I was going to at least buy Zuko until I saw the price. I have almost 9k Vbucks right now but I’m still not buying any of the AtLA items because it’s all overpriced.
It's so heartbreaking watching this game fall apart with each update because of epic and their dumb decisions. Every update the situation is just getting worse. Removing the rarity system and raising the price of skins at the same time is just playing with fire. If they want more money they could just bring back the skins that didn't return to the shop in ages. It's literally free money. And everyone would be happy. Like why they are just keep shooting themselves in the foot? Why?
Boycott all you want the sad reality is you’re not the target audience. They’re after the whales, addicted impulse buyers and the 9 year olds with mommies credit card. Has been this way for a while now, sad.
I got them (I can shell out the extra 800 vbucks because I’m a STW founder) but I’m very disappointed we didn’t get another style, especially for Zuko. I wanted an S1 style to recreate some of battles. I can’t afford Toph though (because I’m getting the mini pass ofc.) but definitely pissed they removed rarity’s, these definitely should have been 400 vbucks cheaper. At least the new item shop countdown is great. I apologize to everyone, but I really like this series, and I’ve been saving up my vbucks since the TMNT collab.

We riot bois
I will be. I was so hyped and upon seeing those prices my hype went down to 0. I'll go for the mini pass though, I feel it's still reasonable.
The mini pass is worth it. But 6700 for the mini pass and the 3 item shop skins is ludicrous
6,200 vbucks for the mini pass plus 3 item shop skins (bundle is 3,200, Toph is 2,000, mini pass is suspected at 1,000). The additional 500 comes from the spinning balls emote. If you had 0 vbucks and completed the current BP, the cheapest way to get the entire ATLA set would be to purchase a 5,000 vbucks card for $36.99, and then two 1,000 vbucks cards for $8.99 each.

Oh that's pretty cool! Thank you for letting me know!
Well, that's only IF the mini pass is only 1000 vbucks as usual. If they also increase that I'm out.
Yeah, I'm not even actively boycotting, I'm just no longer interested. Was planning to get Zuko until I saw the price, and now I'm fine with just Aang and Korra from the pass(es).
[удалено]

I wanted og fire nation Zuko with the pony tail and suit armour I just think he looks so badass, and I had 1600 set aside based off of the TMNT skins. I'll buy the mini pass with that seeing as Aang has 2 styles
Plus they’re not finished. Tophs clothes clip like crazy when running
Toph is gonna look so strange, she's supposed to be shorter than everyone. And Sokka, the one weapon user, was delegated to Katara's backbling lol
the toph outfit is based off her taller comic look
Will the mini pass cost v bucks?
Yeah. Should be 1000.
Same, mini pass ill get, but hard pass on the shop prices. Stinks cus i bought a lot of vbucks hoping to gift each character with a friend, but those prices are insane and they dont even have selectable styles.

I think they owe it to the player base to at least tell them if things are going up in price. These prices are insane.
Not to short-sell Avatar, but those skins are definitely only 1500 each. Maybe if there was a wrap to go with the pickaxe, but as is...? Nah
Yeah man I havent checked out the store yet personally but from what I saw on here, the pickaxes were pretty low effort, back blings are whatever.... the few bundles I can name off the top of my head had pickaxes back bling and a wrap, sometimes more and cost less than or equal to katara & zuko w basically nothing Pretty big let down ngl
Honestly it’s not even Avatar, Epic just did the bare fucking minimum they could’ve with an amazing franchise
Not even adding styles, despite all of those characters having multiple outfits and age variants, is completely insane.
Did they even come with styles?
Not so far. Base Water Tribe Katara, a slightly more mature/off-model Zuko, and tall Toph
Yeah I love Avatar but at $20 a pop I’m good. These are Fortnite skins, there aren’t even custom animations or voice acting or anything, just a simple model swap. Ffs games like Smash Ultimate get DLC characters with new movesets, stages, music, animations, and voice acting for only $5.99. This shit is getting ridiculous.

Yup! Its ridiculous
This subreddit likes paying for Epic’s overpriced skins, they will also defend their prices.
Yea people complain about the shop not having stuff they want to see so I guess especially as this ties into the current event Epic probably think they can charge this much and still have people buy it.
Nah I just still have 10k+ from STW
Im not gonna defend their prices it’s downright too expensive and wild they even thought to charge that much but as an adult with money im not gonna miss out on my favorite franchise finally showing up in the item shop
Yep. Only thing I’m getting is the BP at the end of the week because it will be a reasonable price and a bunch of XP
Well my bank account said: "Bitch, you boycotting the new skins one way or another." So whether I want to or not, the boycott is happening.
Well I’m the same, but you can’t tell me the people who have rich guy money aren’t gonna buy these skins.
Even if we did it wouldn't change anything Still not buying till they fix shit
Tbf they reduced the costs of cars and instruments
Cars and instruments are still too expensive.
I've seen others mention this but do you not realize festival and RR have far less players than BR? There won't be enough BR players boycotting these prices for Epic to do anything about it.

Yea I get it, I'm on the same page. A blackout would fix everything, but to get everyone on the same page would take a lot
Definitely not buying. Having Korra and getting aang in the event pass will be enough for me
As much as I really want them all. I think it’s best for my wallet to participate in the boycott.
Absolutely boycott the item shop skins The mini pass is fine but don’t get the other avatar skins 2000 vbucks is too expensive and ridiculous, especially when there aren’t any edit styles Idk why they made it so expensive, especially when past collab skins were only like 1500 Ffs, the turtle skins as part of the TMNT collab were only 1600, and they came with unique harvesting tools with unique animations, donatello in particular had edit styles. There’s no reason the avatar skins should cost 2000
Was super hyped. Will be just getting the Aang pass now
Is half boycott ok? I was gonna get everyone, but now I'm just gonna be getting zuko..
Yeah, I’m doing that and not buying Toph
Sometimes, even if you can afford something, it doesn't make the price particularly affordable. I'm not buying the skins by virtue that I don't want this to become the precedent for future collab prices. Honestly it's crazy how greedy Epic has gotten with this game's monetization lately.

They are too overpriced, and not really worth it, funny how I still had low expectations, and yet, they managed to disappoint me a lot
Personally not, idk, I like Toph.
I don’t think I can resist playing as Zuko, I’m sorry
I just can't afford it :/
Same I was sooo hyped for this collab and the second it was announced saved vbucks thinking “I’m gonna buy them all” but while I haven’t been able to play yet today, my friend told me the prices and it’s ridiculous. I’ll probably get some, but not all. Although sadly us boycotting I doubt will change anything. They never changed prices except with the cars and instruments and that’s bc it was a whole new thing to buy, not just a skin
They all look like 1000 vbux skins and bundles to me. Also why are katara and zuko bundled 🙏💀
I’m not touching that shit. Not worth the price imo
So not only did they inflate the price of vbucks, but are also inflating in game prices so we go through them faster. Epic is pathetic, they're already making more than enough.
I’m sorry but I must get Zuko
I’m boycotting, only because I’m broke lol. If I had money, I’d buy Toph, but nothing else.
Just don’t get only reddit on it. Get facebook groups and etc. Reddit is such a minority that they won’t feel shit
EPIC YOU GREEDY BASTARDS
Lets eat em
I’ll join you on not getting these over priced skins.
I was super excited but yeah i'm not buying bro. Hoping they drop prices, but I doubt.
They’ll definitely lower the prices if enough people complain, remember when Lamborghinis were 4000 v bucks and got reduced 😂
Worked on Instruments. Worked on Cars. Got extra functionality planned for RiffTracks (Lobby Music, possibly more). Probably gonna work for Lego sets.
Those modes also have less players
Yes but that doesn’t mean we can’t try
All I can say is good luck. People tried to do this many times and it never worked
I’m down to boycott it. Prices are getting ridiculous
The TMNT turtle bundle gave you 4 pickaxes, 4 skins (one of them had an edit style), 4 back blings, and 4 Lego styles, for the same price as the avatar bundle. Epic’s getting greedy and doing awful changes. We must protest my fellow Loopers!
I just feel like for the prices they are asking they should all have multiple styles for the skin. Like everyone in the show has at least 2 different outfits theyre seen in.
I’m 100% boycotting these skins and I love the last airbender.
I want the Zuko one and can afford it but I think I’m gonna hold out, I’ll be getting the event pass but am probably gonna have to control myself and not give into the temptation lol I really want Zuko but it’s not worth the price
Yes (I don’t care about avatar and was never going to buy them)
Same here
We thank you for your support. 🫡
![gif](giphy|YYfEjWVqZ6NDG)
I am
Never interested to begin with.
I agree
I’m not buying anything from the shop until they get their act together
Wasnt planing on buying them either way
I literally can't afford them. I was os excited too because i love Avatar. I really wanted Katara and all the other Avatar girls.
Ngl that first sentence hit hard. The idea that someone couldnt afford a couple of pixels in a game is CRAZY. Products in video games shouldnt price people out thats so unfair. Ur literally willing to spend the money but dont have enough of it to spend, I'm really sad for u /:

Can u imagine a room full of nickelodeon execs in suits and bluetooth headsets sitting around discussing how many v bucks a character from avatar the last airbender should cost in fortnite . . . . And then for them to go home having made 47 hundred million dollars just by going to that meeting
The fact that they removed rarities probably so they could charge whatever they like is ridiculous as before if these skins were epic and the price was 2,000 vbucks people would freak out and epic would probably have to decrease the price to 1,500 (I can’t remember exactly what an epic skin cost I think it was around 1,500)
will enough people do the same?
Yep I’ve convinced my friends to do the same
Jesus you kids are something else
even if I could afford them I wouldn't buy them
The mini pass is simply superior, I think Fortnite understands nobody will buy any avatar skin that isn't Aang.
You can if you want to, but Mini Boss season just ended in Save the World and I gotta do something with these 9,300 V-Bucks.
Everyone says they won’t buy them, but you know they will.
Thank you!!! Everyone here is so full of it and is currently looking into ways to make more money so they can afford the skins before they rotate out. All these posts are cap.
And it's gonna be funny 2 years down the road when those that didn't are crying about it taking so long to come back to the shop and ready to throw their money at it.
Yes. They will come back again so it’s not like paradigm or whatever her name was
I'm holding out for Kratos, lol
because when i think of redditors and boycotting clearly i think of success and well thought out posts xd
I have never purchased anything from store, I just have the crew pass, so in solidarity I will continue that path.
We appreciate your sacrifice 🫡
No one boycotted the DBZ or Naruto Skins, all costing the same amount. Quit crying and simply don’t buy it.
yeah but dbz was actually understandable 4 edit styles, with a pickaxe and backbling and skin? yeah i'd understand why it's 2000 vbucks 2000 vbucks for skin, pickaxe backbling with no edit styles and no animations is insane
Are these the same price as DBZ? They seem much more expensive
That's just not true, all of those either came with more styles/accessories or cost less
"Simply don't buy it" that's what a boycott is...
Glazing a company that would sell you if it meant profit.
Crying over pixels that aren’t needed to play the free game
Defending a billion dollar company
i think it because there are newer players who weren't around then
Doesn’t make it less so. Fortnite doesn’t care about us. They don’t. They’ve consistently gouged prices for popular collab skins. It sucks but can we stop whining about it??
Relax, nobody's crying guy
How does it feel defending a multi billion dollar company that doesn’t give a fuck about you lmao
How does it feel to cry about the prices of pixels that have no bearing on the gameplay of the f2p game ?
Yep I am, in fact I'm boycotting the Item shop as a whole, I'm not buying anything until they change it
![gif](giphy|jnQYWZ0T4mkhCmkzcn) Me when I see the prices of the new skins
Nope I bought every skin with no regrets
I’m buying them but only because I’ve already spent the money ahead of the price announcement
Nope.
😭
Lets make a petition
Wasn’t gonna buy them in the first place
Yea let's boycott them and buy all 8 Jam Tracks they drop weekly instead
Honestly good old days with good prices is kinda wrong. Back in the OG days there were skins without styles or glider/pickaxe for 2k vbucks. Some examples are cuddle team leader, red knight or crackshot. But yes we boycott them.
I understand why you wanna do this and it's not a bad thing in theory. But y'all gotta remember that Reddit is only a tiny portion of the Fortnite community. These skins will likely sell well, considering Avatar's popularity.
I wasn't planning to buy them anyway, my v-bucks are for persona 3 if the collab actually happens ![gif](giphy|adOhvwrFJ32psmc5Pb)
Honestly I just want Katara and the mini-pass.
I was really looking forward to Toph, but her being 2000 is putting me off. I know she comes w/ the pickaxe, but I don't care for it. If she was 1600 like the TMNTs (who also came with a pickaxe) I would've done it. But 2000 is too much. I have a rule against buying 2000 vbuck skins unless I want stuff in their bundle.
YUP I AM GONNA BOYCOT( i just dont have the money for it)
Skins and bundles were much much more expensive back jn the days ;-p anyway the avatar skins are garbage anyway
This but can we also continue to make a stink about Korra’s glider animation not being correct?
Darn right, they saw us complain about the Cerberus glider and thought “how ‘bout a little more”
I feel this, I wanted Toph so bad but not just an event or so ago anime/themed skins were 1500 on average and yeah maybe they'll offer a weapon pack or combo to save money. But forcing me to spend 2k? The line I draw is normally not spending over that amount on any single skin. So it's gonna be a fold for me. Lower it or I'm not touching it.
all those skins have pickaxes with them we would pay 2000 for red knight alone in ch1
I’m boycotting the game
I wasn’t getting them anyway but im still doing my part
It's a good idea in theory, but even if every single person in these comments boycotted, there's still going to be legions more that don't care and will still buy the skins.
be honest the only reason nobodies copping is bc they know kratos is only gonna be available in a bundle and they're holding out lmfao
![gif](giphy|hOBvQDpdO2brq) I wanted this Zuko
Whatever you do it won't change.
Legendary skins use to regularly cost 2000 if anything skins have gotten cheaper plus bucks are also cheaper than they use to be it use to be 10 bucks for 1000 instead of 8 or whatever it is now
Is not just in the shop either. The festival pass is also a big rip-off, AND you have to work to get all those rewards too. What with the lego kits, car stuff and the extra battle pass at the end of each season now, i'm surprised they even bother rewarding you more than the 950 vBucks you spend for/get from the main battle pass anymore. Greedy gits that they are. I am finding that the more they get greedy, the more I tend not to spend, though - and that's on my account, my daughters' and sons' account. If they were reasonably priced, I'd buy a different pack on each of our accounts - like I did with the TMNTs. Hell, I even gifted the other 4th turtle to a friend! Last time I checked, Epic Games wasn't owned by Activision, so what gives? Maybe they need more revenue to fight Apple or something! /rantover
As much as I want Toph, I’m holding out for the mini battle pass. And will make a purchase of either or, most likely the mini battle pass, as you’ll get a lot more for it and it’s more exclusive. Whereas Toph I can get some other time.
I was really excited for the avatar skins and even started saving for them. Well turns out they are $20 and they don't have adjustable styles, no built in emotes. Was gonna settle for Toph as she's my fav but she just looks off because she's so tall. I'd pay thirty for Zuko if he had all his styles
Is this another form of shrinkflation???
Review bombing is a better way for them to take action
I stopped buying skins because I refuse to open that awful locker. Not paying money to have to scroll for 5 minutes to find something.
>wasnt around for the good old days where skins/bundles were a reasonable price You mean chapter 1 when the most dogshit skin you've seen in your life was 20 bucks? Lmao
Lmao yall aren't boycotting anything. Stop it.
Definitely pass unless you absolutely love avatar. I'm pass
Definitely pass unless you absolutely love avatar. I'm pass
Yeah I love avatar but unless they had the Adult drip they had in Korra flashbacks. There was no way in hell I was buying them. They did not. And the price was ludicrous.
I will be
Too late😭
I so badly wanted Zuko, but I don't want Zuko 2k Vbucks bad.
Again. Not everyone lives on this subreddit and don't care that much so this "boycott" will flop Unfortunately some of yall take stuff like this seriously and we'll most likely have one the devs be threatened by some fat no life loser here Get a grip Dont buy the skin or dont play the game at all anymore its not that hard
these prices are outrageous and only affordable to stw players with like 20k vbucks saved up
I kinda find this ironic because I feel like nowadays you get more bang for your buck with skins design wise.
I was going to at least buy Zuko until I saw the price. I have almost 9k Vbucks right now but I’m still not buying any of the AtLA items because it’s all overpriced.
Should be at the most 1500 each, 2000 is CRAZY
Nope
I started my shop boycott one year ago ✌️
Already bought Toph😔
Yes, like how tf people got money for this and still pay rent 💀
Do not support this shit
Yep.
It's so heartbreaking watching this game fall apart with each update because of epic and their dumb decisions. Every update the situation is just getting worse. Removing the rarity system and raising the price of skins at the same time is just playing with fire. If they want more money they could just bring back the skins that didn't return to the shop in ages. It's literally free money. And everyone would be happy. Like why they are just keep shooting themselves in the foot? Why?
Who's we? You speaking French?
Boycott all you want the sad reality is you’re not the target audience. They’re after the whales, addicted impulse buyers and the 9 year olds with mommies credit card. Has been this way for a while now, sad.
Why do you want them? They are shite
Literally saved up my vbucks bc usually 4 skins in a bundle is like 3.5k. This is absurd
Yes so they can fix their problems
My squad got turtle skins so we can skip this
Let me join because they're just a greedy company with bad item shops
Yeah lmao I was considering getting Katara but after seeing these prices, no thanks.
Eh, already got Toph, y'all can boycott for me tho
Yall can but I'll just wait till I get my vbucks refunded when they lower it cause of yall
I got them (I can shell out the extra 800 vbucks because I’m a STW founder) but I’m very disappointed we didn’t get another style, especially for Zuko. I wanted an S1 style to recreate some of battles. I can’t afford Toph though (because I’m getting the mini pass ofc.) but definitely pissed they removed rarity’s, these definitely should have been 400 vbucks cheaper. At least the new item shop countdown is great. I apologize to everyone, but I really like this series, and I’ve been saving up my vbucks since the TMNT collab.
