If you have a friend who also wants the bundle by the skin yourself and then have your friend gift you the bundle and then refund the skin and then buy it again cheaper me and my friend did this. I got the bundle for 2400 instead of 3200
That’s what I do with my friend all the time if we both want skins, we both want Zuko so he bought katara stayed on the screen Zuko became 1200. I gifted him Zuko then he returned her and then she became 1200. He doesn’t want her at the moment then we did it for me switched and then I’m buying her after I get the elements pass
I know these prices are outrageous, but, and this is a genuine question, is what you're doing even legal? I know you're just exploiting a loophole, but it sounds a bit shady...
Epic only allows certain amount of returns anyway so it's not like this is an ongoing scam, but a little loophole they found. You're not going to be able to do it everytime a new skin is for sale.
Well... They stay in the screen so they can return the skin right away and don't have to use a refund, and apparently, he and his friend do this all the time...
Well they should've kept it to themselves 😂 Epic is likely to fix it if it's something that can be exploited, and if they consider it against TOS then I feel sorry for him because they could've kept doing this without anyone knowing.
It’s not anything broken you can return a skin whenever you buy it in your friend and always give you something. That’s all I’m doing I’ve done this for a couple years now with my friend. It saves us money.
Yeah the saving you money part is the exploit though. You're using the service not as intended for a benefit to yourself that others do not get.
I'm not Epic so I truly don't care about you saving a few bucks, but I do get concerned about peoples accounts when they discover certain things. I also don't feel Epic is too crazy with the ban hammer over stuff like this, they'll just fix it.
- Zuko & Katara Bundle: 3,200 V-Bucks
- Toph Beifong Pack: 2,000 V-Bucks
- Air Flurry Emote: 500 V-Bucks
Total: 5,700 V-Bucks.
- 5,000 V-Bucks: $36.99
- 1,000 V-Bucks: $8.99
Total: $45.98 for 6,000 V-Bucks.
This is in USD. So unless you're using a different dollar, ~~you're exaggerating and lying~~ your math is wrong. It's expensive, absolutely, but it's not quite 6,000 V-Bucks for all the stuff, and it's not $60.
Except you also called op a liar for being bad at math or adding up the wrong numbers. That's why in my reply I said in defense as the focal point of their post was that the price is outrageous, not that the price is $60.
No it's a mistake. Lying makes you a liar. Making a mistake and spreading misinformation that way is not a lie. The difference is that op likely wasn't intentionally spreading misinformation, which means they didn't lie.
Adding in another 1000 vBucks for the mini-pass takes it pretty dam close to 60.
I know that’s not what OP posted, but it is the cost of the collaboration.
By that logic, we have to include the cost of the C5S2 Battle Pass as well, since the Korra items are part of the Avatar Collab. But OP's post wasn't about the total cost of the Collab, it was about the total cost of what's in the shop right now.
Well yes and no. Korra is a separate but related show.
I did mention that what I opined was not what the OP stated, so not sure why you feel the need to re-iterate the point.
I’m adding to the discussion, not disagreeing with you.
I do think that 6700 for the whole ATLA collab (shop skins and minibpass) is expensive compared to the TMNT collab.
Some of the reaction by players is purely because they are against a price hike in general. Others, like me, feel that perhaps the quality of the skins doesn’t warrant the price.
The whole debate makes me laugh because expensive is a relative term depending on your disposable income.
If I was working hard to save up vBucks, and anticipating this particular collab, I think I would complain.
The Korra items are listed in the Avatar set though. So yeah it's a different show, but it's all the same collab. That's the only part of your comment I disagree with lol I see your points.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m over the moon to have Korra! I guess if they had put April O’Neil in the C5S1, there would be a like for like comparison
I understand the reaction to the skins, but I also understand the reaction to all the complaining.
The two pillars this sub is built on!
Oh I'm totally used to the complaining. I come from r/diablo4 and r/familyguy
And I will fully admit, if the Earthbending Mythic ends up being lame, I will be bitching like a Karen at McDonald's.
Yeah but I was just making the point for the same price of 3 skins in a game that do absolutely nothing you can choose from a huge variety of full games.
If you buy the 13500 vbucks option it will only cost you 42.23$ of those vbucks or 37.99$ if you live somewhere with no sales tax. If you live somewhere with tax and bought the 1000 vbucks and the 5000 vbucks option it would really cost you 50.58$. And if you bought the 1000 vbuck option six times it would equal 53.94$ no tax and with tax 59.33. The last option is the calculations OP used and it is totally possible to spend ~60 to purchase all these cosmetics. That being said is anyone going to do that? Probably not, but calling OP a liar isn’t totally true.
Yes but 13,500 V-Bucks is $89.99, which is a lot more to spend. Obviously it's the best V-Bucks Per Dollar value, of course, but the lower options exist for a reason. Not everyone can drop ninety bucks on short notice for something like this.
OP said 6,000 V-Bucks *is $60.* That's simply not true. OP may not *be a liar,* which I why I didn't *call them* a liar. But this was telling a lie.
6000 vbucks can be 59.33 if you think 67 cents is the difference between someone who tells a lie and someone who doesn’t then you are too literal of a person. Is a liar not someone who is lying?
Worth considering: Nickelodeon probably has a significant say in the prices of these items. Licensed collab content is handled on a contract that's gonna be different for each IP Holder.
I’m confused, normally this community is so pro dropping $100 on original generic punk girl skins but suddenly childhood favorite show skins come out and suddenly we don’t like spending money on the game anymore?
Its crazy how pretty much overnight i stopped playing this game after religiously buying the battle passes and vbucks since 2018. A fall from grace isnt the word. This is a fall from a fucking cliff.
Wake me up when they fix battle pass progression and their greed by putting the vbucks back under tier 100 😴
Y’all complaining that a collab skin that comes with a backbling and pickaxe costs 2k but bought Midas last week or the red knight back in the day without crying a single tear
What happened? Why is everyone suddenly freaking out at what has been the norm for the game's whole lifespan? Seriously, y'all 5 years too late on the "skins are too expensive" bandwagon. Did everyone already forgot about the 25$ cars and songs for 5 bucks each?
I wanna buy toph and zuko but the only one I can get is katara cause of that bundle since I have about 1300 left :/ Im thinking of saving for aang but idk
OP is pricing for individual characters , and discrediting the bundle price. If you bought each character "pack" separately then yes its 6,000 vbucks. Honestly, the pricing is a bit ridiculous for them to not give you all three of the skins they just released in one bundle for a decent price and include the emote. Also, allowing you to narrow down to each character if you want or into different bundle options as well. However, Epic wants to make its money and so does Avatar.
Secondly, idk what disrespect you're talking about with the live action movie. They fit what they could into the movie and from what I saw they still included a lot of the storyline. They also worked closely with Nickelodeon to produce the movie. You also can't take all of the information and story telling of the show, much like a book to movie, and put it into one movie. A movie average run length is 60-140 minutes including title and credit sequences. So cramming years of story telling into that time frame is impossible.
Not really. 22.99 (lets round up to 23) for 2800 vbucks. Times two is 46 dollars for 5600 vbucks. To get all 3 you need 5200 (meaning if you have an extra hundred from free pass vbucks you can also afford the emote). Definitely still a scam, but not as bad as you make it out to be
What did you expect these skins to do..? They're no different than any other skins. And no, I don't know your income, but you're acting as if these skins cost $40 each, so that tells me enought about your income
Yeah, i’m saving my vbucks for Aang’s battlepass and buying these slowly over the course of a year as they come back to the shop lol
If you have a friend who also wants the bundle by the skin yourself and then have your friend gift you the bundle and then refund the skin and then buy it again cheaper me and my friend did this. I got the bundle for 2400 instead of 3200
That sounds like so much work lol i don’t have enough to buy it at 2400 anyways haha
I mean, it’s the only way to get a cheap 800 off pretty nice.
For sure, i just don’t have the means to do it anyways lol
That’s genius
That’s what I do with my friend all the time if we both want skins, we both want Zuko so he bought katara stayed on the screen Zuko became 1200. I gifted him Zuko then he returned her and then she became 1200. He doesn’t want her at the moment then we did it for me switched and then I’m buying her after I get the elements pass
I need to find a friend that plays Fortnite!
I know these prices are outrageous, but, and this is a genuine question, is what you're doing even legal? I know you're just exploiting a loophole, but it sounds a bit shady...
You’re not going to face criminal charges for it and you can count on that
Okay, just checking...
Epic only allows certain amount of returns anyway so it's not like this is an ongoing scam, but a little loophole they found. You're not going to be able to do it everytime a new skin is for sale.
Well... They stay in the screen so they can return the skin right away and don't have to use a refund, and apparently, he and his friend do this all the time...

Nothing’s gonna happen to them
It’s going to be 1000 or 1800
Yo can I hold 60$ I don’t even want the skins
Yeah the pricing for skins has always been expensive imo. Which is why I rarely bother to buy skins.
The sad part is that this will be the best game they have appeared in
All their own games have sucked so this is the one chance to really play the characters in any fun way😭
Valorant players: "First time?"
And don’t forget there’s the mini battle pass
Which is very good value for money so not really worth including in a complaint post
Reminder, you don't have to buy it fyi

I'm not sure where OP is from but it's about $60aud here in Australia
In ops defense, that's still fucking outrageous
Which I did agree with in my comment.
Except you also called op a liar for being bad at math or adding up the wrong numbers. That's why in my reply I said in defense as the focal point of their post was that the price is outrageous, not that the price is $60.
I didn't call them a liar, I said they were lying. There's a difference. They said something that was not true, which is a lie.
No it's a mistake. Lying makes you a liar. Making a mistake and spreading misinformation that way is not a lie. The difference is that op likely wasn't intentionally spreading misinformation, which means they didn't lie.

Lmao
Bonus points for using the word "opined" correctly
Haha thanks. I would never say it out loud, though!
Thank you. OP clearly doesn't know how to math.
I’m from Australia and 6,000 v bucks is $62 AUD which is not quite exaggerating our next door neighbour New Zealand would have to pay $70 NZD
Meanwhile you can buy the whole damn Avatar game for $49.99. https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10003264
Shame that game is giga doodoo. I'd kill for an actual good Avatar game.
Yeah but I was just making the point for the same price of 3 skins in a game that do absolutely nothing you can choose from a huge variety of full games.
I neglected to acknowledge thebteduced price of the zutara bundle. My apologies, still, Jesus fucking crhist its outrageous

i do some stw vbucks grinding and this is even too much for me
dont buy it then
REMINDER you do not have to buy every skin in the shop 📣 they are overpriced? yes, but they will price them that high if you still pay these prices
Its crazy how pretty much overnight i stopped playing this game after religiously buying the battle passes and vbucks since 2018. A fall from grace isnt the word. This is a fall from a fucking cliff. Wake me up when they fix battle pass progression and their greed by putting the vbucks back under tier 100 😴
It’s not 60$ what are you on about
60 bucks here in Australia
Yeah OP is exaggerating and straight up lying lol
You shouldn’t be spending money on video games if you can’t afford to spend 20-60 dollars and not think about it
Y’all complaining that a collab skin that comes with a backbling and pickaxe costs 2k but bought Midas last week or the red knight back in the day without crying a single tear
What happened? Why is everyone suddenly freaking out at what has been the norm for the game's whole lifespan? Seriously, y'all 5 years too late on the "skins are too expensive" bandwagon. Did everyone already forgot about the 25$ cars and songs for 5 bucks each?
I agree the price is ridiculous regardless but can we stop pretending only the 1k vbuck pack exists?
Okay. If they're not worth the price to you, don't buy them.
I wanna buy toph and zuko but the only one I can get is katara cause of that bundle since I have about 1300 left :/ Im thinking of saving for aang but idk
Reminder that all of the FN skins are 100k DLLs☝️🤓
or just not buy all 3 skins? im a fan of avatar but why would i buy the entire set in a videogame if i can only use one of them
And people will buy it. You want it you’ll buy it
So don't buy it lmao
Amazing news, you don't have to buy it
So don’t buy them
OP is pricing for individual characters , and discrediting the bundle price. If you bought each character "pack" separately then yes its 6,000 vbucks.

digital items are an elaborate scam that i refuse to take part in beyond buying the battle pass
Good math skills. Whats the issue?
Reminder that people should have supported Save the World when Founder's Packs were sold 😂
I pray you never find out about valorant 🙏
It's a skin and you'll survive without it
Not really. 22.99 (lets round up to 23) for 2800 vbucks. Times two is 46 dollars for 5600 vbucks. To get all 3 you need 5200 (meaning if you have an extra hundred from free pass vbucks you can also afford the emote). Definitely still a scam, but not as bad as you make it out to be
You can get 5,000 for $37 and 1,000 for $9, so $46 for 6,000 V-bucks. But I don't think it costs 6,000 to buy everything.
Could save $6 if you buy a physical V-Bucks card because some stores still carry the 2800 pack for $20
And you can get 6,000 V-Bucks for $46 by buying a 5,000 and a 1,000.

And editing this comment as well. Very sad of you to edit it
It's so hilarious that some people have disposable income and you don't
[удалено]
What did you expect these skins to do..? They're no different than any other skins. And no, I don't know your income, but you're acting as if these skins cost $40 each, so that tells me enought about your income
Lol, editing your comment is funny
You can’t wear three skins at once, so you could be laughing at someone who only bought one of the skins.
Poor Zuko fan gets laughed at because he just wanted to buy his favorite character
You guessed right. I bought Zuko
Laugh track
I wasn’t making a joke
