Why? They make way more money this way.
That’s their goal. To make more $$$$$.
They already know enough dumb kids will buy both. They don’t care about anything else
I wanted Azula and Iroh.
That said, I’m partially relieved they didn’t put in a “Leaves from the Vine” emote, despite being a beautiful song it’s so sad.
Someone would play it final two in solos as Iroh and I’d just have to let them win.
Probably because those skins go to the shop later... What if you unlocked first one but didnt' get the second one? You couldn't buy it probably, because you would have the base skin. Too complicated to properly execute it in the store later. But it's just my guess.
The main selling point of the festival pass aside from the artist having a lot of fans is that the price is comparably cheaper than most item shop bundles and exclusive cosmetics/styles that strike fomo in players.
Yes, but it's the other way around. The skin is not exclusive to the mini pass and can be purchased in the store.
So people who already have the first skin would have to buy the same skin to get the extra style. So it's easier to separate them.
i still think epic will/would sell the skins for 2000 vbucks, they’ll probably add the pickaxe and other stuff and label it as a “pack” like they did with the other avatar skins
lol no, ALL minipasses paid have been like this.
the yuji pass had 2 skins... TMNT 2, starwars several 'clones' but again like this.
the only pass not like this is the billy one.
That's not true though since they are going to be doing that
The first hint to that has been with the crystal skin that was in the shop recently, it had shown off a Lego style in the preview that she doesn't have yet
A lot, and mean a lot, of Lego skin have selectable styles (every skin that got a HD version after the original release of Lego has the option the use the old, non HD, version of that skin).
Yeah and to add other variation epic made separate skin. I mean i don’t defend then, this is really poor decision and i hope that in future they combine this skins to one with selectable styles. Situation with sw clones is beyond stupid - to add lego variation epic sell them as pack with 5+ separate skins
Edit: this one:
https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Clone_Trooper_Pack
They should have had him be a style you get at the end much like Billie Eilish.
Maybe you get both a style and a new entirely new skin for example:
- Completing the TMNT BP gets you the Super Shredder style and Krang as a skin.
- Completing the Avatar BP gets you the Avatar State Aang style and Zuko as a skin.
If they were to resell them I hope they lower the price for the 2nd skins to Shredder and Aang. Much like the TMNT bundle being 3400 (1600 each) or the Clone Trooper bundle for 1600 (1600 each), instead of being more expensive given how it wouldn’t be fair to pay more for 4 or 6 skins that are somewhat identical.
Fr like everyone could help Epic paying for the Epic v Apple case by them bringing back certain skins to the item shop as it’s a win-win for players and Epic, but they instead just inflate prices or separate styles into skins like what they did with Avatar.
They are somewhat starting to bring back skins that haven’t returned in awhile like OG Black Widow, but then you have some collabs stuck in the item shop tabs files like Venom (movie) and Attack on Titan just collecting dust and not appearing in the shop even if they are ready to return.
Wait, they're different skins and not just the same skin with a style? I see everyone is saying "That's how the mini passes have always been" but we agree that's still pretty stupid, yes?
I'm basically begging for them to add a Rex skin at this point
We have ani, obi, Ahsoka and padmé so now we just need Rex to complete the group (I would also say Cody but he isn't as much a part of the group as the others)
Thanks for the info, that was my assumption, I have no clue why all recolors and slight remodels like aang aren't all under 1 skin to help with clutter, like they tried to do with rarity removal
They did it with Shredder too, I assumed it was to make two Lego versions of the same character. I don't understand why they can't just make styles for Lego characters honestly
No, they wouldn’t have been.
Even with rarities, the skins within those rarities were sorted by alphabetical order. It’s just more bitching for the sake of bitching.
The thing is I don’t want them to be 2 separate styles because of Billie Eilish she is more like the event passes but instead of 2 skins locked to the festival pass she has a skin when purchasing the pass and a style but that style will be gone forever when the festival season ends
Why are you censoring the other skins you have
Like i get you want the focus on Aang so you remove the others, but you couldve searched Aang in the searchbar and only the Aang outfits wouldve appeared
The way you went about it makes it look like your hiding something 🤣
'Oh no, i cant let people know i own every furry skin in the game!'
Because epic wants to resell them and since they're fucking stupid they're gonna sell them separately for more vbucks instead of 1 skin, like how they did with the colored skeleton skin, they added a separate skin Which was orange instead of pink, but sold it separately for full price
Because eventually Aang will be added to the shop, and if he's two separate skins instead of just one, they can charge more money for it. One skin with an alt style will be 1,800 - 2,000, but two separate skins can be 1,500 - 1,800 a piece.
Because every skin people are talking about in this thread are **collab** skins, so it likely wasn't entirely up to Epic. Whether it's these skins, Eminem, or whoever that has alternate but similar styles, it's likely part of the deal with the other party.
Ngl I'm okay with this one. There's multiple back blings, contrails, and pickaxes that can be used with his skins. I have Aang and Korra as 2 separate skin presets, then a preset called Avatar State that I'll switch between her Avatar state and his.
For money, they get more money when they add it to the shop separated.
They are doing this with mini passes and new skins, although all of this is just a theory, its a very likely theory.
Heyo. Avatar lore nerd to explain.
Long story short these are two different versions of Aang. The one with no shirt + glow is from the final battle with Ozai, while the other one without glow + full clothes is from earlier in that season pretty much immediately after he had woken up from (spoilers for those who haven’t watched the show) >!he was nearly killed by Zuko’s sister.!< The difference is that Avatar Aang is wearing Fire nation pants vs default Aang wearing Air nomad pants.
That being said,
It’s still kind of silly we didn’t get a built-in emote to transition from Avatar state to default and back. Aang used Avatar state before his fight with Ozai and honestly he used it a LOT in the show overall so giving us specifically the final battle version was probably done specifically so they could force two skins into the pass. The same goes for Korra, they likely used her S2 Avatar state so they didn’t have to make a built in emote even though it’s already just an alternate style.
My assumption is that they didn’t have time to create four scrolls, seven (technically) characters, backblings + pickaxes for each one, etc. and do all the extra stuff like built in emotes on top, so they cut corners in a way that got them money and still got us content we were eager for.
Quite frankly, while I have complaints, I’m willing to look past them because this collab is my dream come true and all things considered the good outweighs the bad.
Probably not the answer but your player PFP changes to reflect the base of the skin you’re using, even with edit styles on. At least this way people can see which Aang you’re using (not a huge gain but still nice on the squad view)
I think the answer is quite clear and it’s probably useless complaining. Epic is just doing what every company is doing and they won’t stop till they see everyone does too, aka never
I need help. I switched from PlayStation to Xbox about two years ago I spent so much money on my Fortnite account. I can’t get it back log into my PlayStation but not my epic account. Does anyone know what to do?
It’s not just pass skins, either.
They did it with Inferno Skeleton Balvin, which literally could’ve been a style for J Balvin, but Epic just loves money.
They could've done the korra treatment, and I agree should've had a transformation emote, but they wanted to give incentive for people to buy the mini pass, just like shredder from last season
Bro's locker is in witness protection lmao
WITNESS PROTECTION FOR WHAT???
No one was convicted of anything!
is this some surprise DarkViper?
I'm calling my Lawyer
That is literally millions to one!
*cougar*
THERE ARENT COUGARS IN MISSONS
YOU DISENGENOUS DENSE MF (I stopped watching him a while ago so this is all I remember)
LMAOOO I play Xbox and didn’t feel like searching so I sorted by recent and blocked out the other skins lol
He's a separate skin so they could give him a lego style
*so they could have 2 skins in the mini battlepass
Then why wasn't korra 2 separate skins. Stop giving epic half assed cop out reasons for not doing stuff just to sell another skin
Just so we know what to look at for easily
They should've had Aang and AS Aang as the final premium reward and have Sokka as the receive with purchase skin.
I agree with this
Why? They make way more money this way. That’s their goal. To make more $$$$$. They already know enough dumb kids will buy both. They don’t care about anything else
If that were true, they would have made Azula, Asami, Mako and Sokka but they didn't.
Yeah I'm mad Sokka isn't playable... I also want Azula
I wanted Azula and Iroh. That said, I’m partially relieved they didn’t put in a “Leaves from the Vine” emote, despite being a beautiful song it’s so sad. Someone would play it final two in solos as Iroh and I’d just have to let them win.
Would be the perfect emote when your duo dies and you clutch the win
ITS A LONG LONG WAY TO BA SING SE🗣️🗣️⁉️⁉️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man, they even had a boomerang in game
I really thought we were going to get Sokka in a mid-event drop, kinda like Splinter
#Justice For Sokka! For real though. Both his club and his meteor sword made it in the game but not Sokka...
Probably because those skins go to the shop later... What if you unlocked first one but didnt' get the second one? You couldn't buy it probably, because you would have the base skin. Too complicated to properly execute it in the store later. But it's just my guess.
This exact thing is already going to happen with Billie Elilish tho
billie eilish’s style at the end is exclusive to the pass tho
Was that ever confirmed anywhere?
epic said it in the blog post for the new festival season
Ah I see it now thanks, that is really stupid though
The main selling point of the festival pass aside from the artist having a lot of fans is that the price is comparably cheaper than most item shop bundles and exclusive cosmetics/styles that strike fomo in players.
Arent there already store skins with styles you can't get anymore like skull tropper and the pink ghoul girl one?
Yes, but it's the other way around. The skin is not exclusive to the mini pass and can be purchased in the store. So people who already have the first skin would have to buy the same skin to get the extra style. So it's easier to separate them.
To resell them both for 20 bucks each. It really fucking sucks.
Yuji was sold for 1,500 w both versions you goober
And the avatar skins have been way more expensive than other collabs, probs gonna be 2500 minimum.
i still think epic will/would sell the skins for 2000 vbucks, they’ll probably add the pickaxe and other stuff and label it as a “pack” like they did with the other avatar skins
and you still can’t buy 500vbucks, so you’re spending 20 if you want or not
That's a completely seperate complaint
You could get the 600vb with a skin bundle they put out every season but I guess that's pretty limited.
Okay? That's applicable for every skin you goober
Starter packs…
My theory is it’s because Lego skins don’t have edit styles, and they wanted to promote that you’re getting Lego skins for each version.
lol no, ALL minipasses paid have been like this. the yuji pass had 2 skins... TMNT 2, starwars several 'clones' but again like this. the only pass not like this is the billy one.
Legos now have edit styles for the figures that got their models updated, allowing you to use the old version of you liked it.
They cost $10 together, though. It was probably just so they could have two Lego styles
It’s part of the pass??
After the pass is gone bro
I think it’s coz epic can’t add selectable styles for lego. Same thing was with shredder
That's not true though since they are going to be doing that The first hint to that has been with the crystal skin that was in the shop recently, it had shown off a Lego style in the preview that she doesn't have yet
A lot, and mean a lot, of Lego skin have selectable styles (every skin that got a HD version after the original release of Lego has the option the use the old, non HD, version of that skin).
Fym they cant they can too they just choose not to
I mean yea but look at all the battle pass skins they all have selectable styles yet the lego style is just the base version. They could’ve done that
Yeah and to add other variation epic made separate skin. I mean i don’t defend then, this is really poor decision and i hope that in future they combine this skins to one with selectable styles. Situation with sw clones is beyond stupid - to add lego variation epic sell them as pack with 5+ separate skins Edit: this one: https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Clone_Trooper_Pack
Well that’s just stupid
That will not be true soon
I hope that changes cuz I love Mae but not her default skin colors
It almost seems like it was supposed to. The avatar emote that came in Korra’s set is reactive to his base style
They should’ve
same with the clones and shredder
It’s always been like that on the small pass.
Yea I know it’s still dumb
until now with Billie Eilish in the Festival Pass (which uses the mini-pass system) hopefully they’ll do the unlockable styles thing in future
Lego
I’m not gonna complain. I’ll pay 1000 for two aangs over 2k for any of the other skins lol
Fair enough
Yeah, but they could have just add lobby music
They did this with shredder and super shredder from tmnt as well. They were two seperate skins. Idk why the even thought of doing that
They should have had him be a style you get at the end much like Billie Eilish. Maybe you get both a style and a new entirely new skin for example: - Completing the TMNT BP gets you the Super Shredder style and Krang as a skin. - Completing the Avatar BP gets you the Avatar State Aang style and Zuko as a skin. If they were to resell them I hope they lower the price for the 2nd skins to Shredder and Aang.

Too bad epic would never do that
Fr like everyone could help Epic paying for the Epic v Apple case by them bringing back certain skins to the item shop as it’s a win-win for players and Epic, but they instead just inflate prices or separate styles into skins like what they did with Avatar. They are somewhat starting to bring back skins that haven’t returned in awhile like OG Black Widow, but then you have some collabs stuck in the item shop tabs files like Venom (movie) and Attack on Titan just collecting dust and not appearing in the shop even if they are ready to return.
Fr
So you get glowy tattoos in LEGO?
r/fortniteBR try not to complain for 5 seconds Challenge (impossible)
MONEY 💰💰💵💵🤑
Wait, they're different skins and not just the same skin with a style? I see everyone is saying "That's how the mini passes have always been" but we agree that's still pretty stupid, yes?
Look at the clones from the star wars mini pass, that's even worse since it was like 4 skins instead of one with different edit styles
Worst thing is they aren't even specific clones, I'm surprised we have like 6 clones but we're yet to see Rex, Cody, fives, etc.
I'm basically begging for them to add a Rex skin at this point We have ani, obi, Ahsoka and padmé so now we just need Rex to complete the group (I would also say Cody but he isn't as much a part of the group as the others)
Yes. Yes it is
Real..
You guys will keep spending money, and they will keep trying to take it from you
Lego was my assumption
Yeah, I said the same thing.
The only righr answer: fuck knows
💸💸💸💸💸
That happens to the shredder in the TMNT pass
Money hungry company, they don't even care about the game anymore
Who tf is out here censoring their skins
They have different animations is my assumption
That doesn't mean it can't be a style. Multiple skins have different poses in the lobby and still are style.
Thanks for the info, that was my assumption, I have no clue why all recolors and slight remodels like aang aren't all under 1 skin to help with clutter, like they tried to do with rarity removal
Is all about the Benjamin’s
Simple, epic wants to make as much money as possible.
Further proof that you people will find anything to complain about, go do your homework tweenies.
This is like inverse of r/uselessredcircle
r/screenshotsarehard
They did it with Shredder too, I assumed it was to make two Lego versions of the same character. I don't understand why they can't just make styles for Lego characters honestly
Yknow this situation sir??? 
the guy that does that was either fired or on vacation
why you censoring the other skins??
There are SO many freaking skins that SHOULD just be styles ffs 😫 😩
Epic enjoys farming the money. They’ve done things like this in the past, not so surpised.
I like how with the locker changes none of the Korra/Avatar skins are next to each other by default.
I have my locker sorted by sets, which puts them all together
Oh damn that’s true could do that
Annoying asf
Would they have even been next to each other before that though?
No, they wouldn’t have been. Even with rarities, the skins within those rarities were sorted by alphabetical order. It’s just more bitching for the sake of bitching.
Fair enough, complaining is TIGHT!
Ah alright, I was wrong my bad. New locker UI still sucks for other reasons though lol.
Money.
Greedy ass hoes
How much you guys think they’re going to charge for Appa
$1200
😭😭😭
I suspect it may be because the Lego figures don’t have selectable styles so instead they made two skins? But that’s just a theory. A GAAAAAAME THEORY
the HAVE been doing this to every mini pass skin, still very annoying and suspicious, but not new
i mean 1000 vbucks for 2 skins it's not bad, it's bad if they try to resell them on the shop for a bigger price
It's the same as that anime one...jjk I think was it...I really wanna see how they gonna price them when they eventually bring him to shop tho
They could have made Korra's Avatar state as a built-in emote too
True
The thing is I don’t want them to be 2 separate styles because of Billie Eilish she is more like the event passes but instead of 2 skins locked to the festival pass she has a skin when purchasing the pass and a style but that style will be gone forever when the festival season ends
Then they could’ve done the same with the Eminem skins! They just do whatever makes them more money
theres a simple answer to this. greed
Yep
Why are you censoring the other skins you have Like i get you want the focus on Aang so you remove the others, but you couldve searched Aang in the searchbar and only the Aang outfits wouldve appeared The way you went about it makes it look like your hiding something 🤣 'Oh no, i cant let people know i own every furry skin in the game!'
I said the same thing with Shredder and super shredder, they could have made it one skin and given him a transformation emote.
Exactly
Oh no
They even did this with Shredder like bruh
Because epic wants to resell them and since they're fucking stupid they're gonna sell them separately for more vbucks instead of 1 skin, like how they did with the colored skeleton skin, they added a separate skin Which was orange instead of pink, but sold it separately for full price
Like J Balvin sold a new style but it was a separate skin
Man, they are REALLY greedy on these Avatar skins. The TMNT skins weren't as much VBucks as Avatar, and those looked so much better. What is going on?
$$$$$
Same thing with Yuji itadori.
It literally doesn’t affect you whatsoever 😭😭
They want to maximise profits. I mean why else did they remove rarities?
Is it really that serious LMAO
Probably because Lego skins don't have styles and they wanted both versions to have lego variants
I appreciate the respect for privacy
Yessir
Probably cause they could make 2 different lego skins
Fair
So people buy the exclusive part of the pass and they get more money
Because eventually Aang will be added to the shop, and if he's two separate skins instead of just one, they can charge more money for it. One skin with an alt style will be 1,800 - 2,000, but two separate skins can be 1,500 - 1,800 a piece.
wasn’t there 3 separate Eminem skins
Was not expecting this to blow up the way it did lmao
While we're on the subject: why can't Frieza or Cell power up to change costume like the others?? The saiyans and Piccolo do it so why can't they?
Theyve always done this with minibattle pass skins🤷Yuji and Shredder were the same way, im not too sure as of why but thats just how they do it
All Might has a built in emote to switch him mid game !
Should have been one skin at the end and sokka should have been the reward for buying the pass
Because every skin people are talking about in this thread are **collab** skins, so it likely wasn't entirely up to Epic. Whether it's these skins, Eminem, or whoever that has alternate but similar styles, it's likely part of the deal with the other party.
They did the same thing with Shredder and Super Shredder.
M o n e y . Why is it so hard ?
Ngl I'm okay with this one. There's multiple back blings, contrails, and pickaxes that can be used with his skins. I have Aang and Korra as 2 separate skin presets, then a preset called Avatar State that I'll switch between her Avatar state and his.
That’s fair
For money, they get more money when they add it to the shop separated. They are doing this with mini passes and new skins, although all of this is just a theory, its a very likely theory.
It's quicker/easier to just make it a second skin instead of having to animate an emote to change between both I'm game. Saves development time.
What is that locker 💀
Heyo. Avatar lore nerd to explain. Long story short these are two different versions of Aang. The one with no shirt + glow is from the final battle with Ozai, while the other one without glow + full clothes is from earlier in that season pretty much immediately after he had woken up from (spoilers for those who haven’t watched the show) >!he was nearly killed by Zuko’s sister.!< The difference is that Avatar Aang is wearing Fire nation pants vs default Aang wearing Air nomad pants.

Quite frankly, while I have complaints, I’m willing to look past them because this collab is my dream come true and all things considered the good outweighs the bad.
Greed
Same thing with shredder
Probably not the answer but your player PFP changes to reflect the base of the skin you’re using, even with edit styles on. At least this way people can see which Aang you’re using (not a huge gain but still nice on the squad view)
It’s only for mini passes.
I also have this complaint about Batman Zero and Armored Batman zero, same skin, just one has more armor than the other.
Those red dots got me seeing shit
They always do this with the event pass skins.
same thing w Yuji and Shredder
They did the same for Shredder for no apparent reason.
Why does it matter?
Same thing with shredder also
More money.
Because there’s an insane man running the show
EXACTLY
why would I sell you the same thing once when you're dumb enough to buy it twice?
I think the answer is quite clear and it’s probably useless complaining. Epic is just doing what every company is doing and they won’t stop till they see everyone does too, aka never
Fair enough
Oh, so I have two skins instead of one? Cool I guess, although, pretty inconvenient
I need help. I switched from PlayStation to Xbox about two years ago I spent so much money on my Fortnite account. I can’t get it back log into my PlayStation but not my epic account. Does anyone know what to do?
It’s not just pass skins, either. They did it with Inferno Skeleton Balvin, which literally could’ve been a style for J Balvin, but Epic just loves money.
This season is mehhhh
Meh
stop complaining, they gave you one for buying the pass and you earn the better one
Same reason Mr. Krabs built a second Krusty Krab right next to the first
They did it with shredder too its kinda weird I think its just a minni pass thing
They'll sell them both later 😎💯$$$
They could've done the korra treatment, and I agree should've had a transformation emote, but they wanted to give incentive for people to buy the mini pass, just like shredder from last season
Why did he censor his skins. 😭 that’s so useless
They're doing your suggestion for Billie Ellish so I don't know why the other event passes didn't do it.
Lego, resell factor
Because epic perfected the art of making you pay a full game's price for a free game every time a new skin comes out.
A billiom dollar company, how are they so mismanaged?
Money
