I know this is a bit of a hot take and I admit I've only seen clips of them since I haven't gotten the Simpsons BP, but 1.2k V-Bucks doesn't sound so bad for these. 1.5k is where it flies off the rails though. lol Those things better do my StW dailies for me at that price.

1,200 is still not worth it. - You and your friends can only see it - Only one color choise - No too much styles - Exists better skins that are cheaper or same priced than this - Enemies can't see it IT'S NOT WORTH IT 700-1000 could have been a better price for the Sidekicks

300 for originals 500 for collab sidekicks better considering they include permanent styles and are re-purchaseable.

For 1500 I'd like them to gather floor loot, resources from my base, and ping chests for me lol

I also want them to be 300-500 max but if they actually did release companions as 300-500 vbucks like people want, then they would resort to selling the cosmetics and emotes for them seperately and thats on top of having to buy them multiple times. So idk which is better tbh...

For me, it's the fact that you can't change it once you've chosen a style or color; the price doesn't matter to me, but I don't want to be sold something half-finished.
Replying to @Wasting_Night
1500 is like the ugliest ammount they could ever think of. I would conceive 1000 for every combination or 2000 for a one-for-all, but they can either make them cheaper or, but if they Made them all-for-one, i'd doubt they would left that price
Replying to @Wasting_Night
honestly the price wouldn't be that bad if there were no restrictions.

It's the fact you're forced to buy multiple to change colors

I'd be okay with 1200 for FN OCs and 1500 for Collab ones. And of course the customisation restrictions need to be lifted.
Replying to @Wasting_Night
def buying the raptor and whatever cat comes out. thats abt it tho. had a raptor in STW a long time ago that i named repty, every raptor i found i named it repty. it died every single time
Replying to @Wasting_Night
I think people are upset about the fact you can't edit them after. The price with edits isn't toooo awful.. but if you can't make any changes to the pet after, it sucks for that price. It feels like they're milking us for money at that price and NO edits

Honestly, I think Fortnite original ones should be 800, and collab ones can be 1.2k. Ngl, I feel like 1.2k to 1.5k for an original is overdoing it.
Replying to @Wasting_Night
Main reason why the prices are unfair is the base color of your sidekick is locked. Ymir you want to cha ge their color you have to buy it again. Waste of resources imo to have these in the game. Kicks are also horribly priced but somehow they are getting away withbit
Replying to @Wasting_Night
I wish they were just buy once, and customize forever. I’d probably buy more of them. (Still getting that Pug asap tho)
Replying to @Wasting_Night
1.2k should be the collab price. i think originals should be 1000 at most. and that's IF they make them fully customizable. if they don't, then the most i see myself spending on these is 800-1000, collab or not
Replying to @Wasting_Night
I think that they should keep the price but fix the customization thing because it comes with a mini battle pass and tbh have been worth the price
1
Replying to @Wasting_Night
the main issue is the fact you need to rebuy them to give them a different appearance. asking for like $20 to change the fur color of a dog is kinda insane if you ask me
1
Replying to @Wasting_Night
I think the price alone could be bearable, but not with the restrictions they are putting on sidekicks. Either they remain this price and we get access to all customization, or they lower the price and keep the lock-in feature. It's ridiculous to put both.

Replying to @Wasting_Night
1.2k is bad If you don't get all the styles. That's my issue. They could be 2k if they weren't locked
Replying to @Wasting_Night
Not to mention that this make more possible for them to make collabs of small characters worth it
Replying to @Wasting_Night
yeah I was expecting 1200~ cause they make a new model and unique animations for each one
Replying to @Wasting_Night
The issue is that for that price you can’t edit them you would need to buy another to change its color
Replying to @Wasting_Night
I give them the price being worth it simply cause of how insanely animated, expressive, and lively they all are. Kicks being 1.5K is a huge fat nope cause while they’re original models and everything, they’re small, on your feet, and don’t have unique animation.

Replying to @Wasting_Night
Oh buddy just wait till collab pets come. Those are gonna be 2k watch
Replying to @Wasting_Night
Ah yeah? Try getting all of customizations for 10k vbucks-
Replying to @Wasting_Night
The prices aren't that bad it's the lack of customization
Replying to @Wasting_Night
Not really especially because you have to buy them multiple times For that same price And tbh they are only worth 600-700( i swear to god if anyone does it ima crash out )

The fish stick one is more expensive than fish stick
Replying to @Wasting_Night
Why the other 3 cost 1500 as the raptor is 1200 doesn’t make sense

Replying to @Wasting_Night
Personally I would be fine with the prices just as long as they remove that permanent locked style crap
Replying to @Wasting_Night
Their pricing just doesn't make sense. Accessories shouldn't cost more than literal skins, ever since they ditched rarities there is nothing defining why some stuff is 800 and others are 1,000+
Replying to @Wasting_Night
It's stupid how SOME of them are 1.5k, like what makes them more costly then the rest?
Replying to @Wasting_Night
Looking at it these prices are reasonable cus you can interact with them. Unlike the shoes that are stupidly overpriced for a game
Replying to @Wasting_Night
i think y'all need to realize that this is epic trying to see how far they can go with pricing. if you wanna support it, go for it. but don't complain when one day they lock different skin styles behind a paywall.
