Fortnite's Star Wars Crossover Already Has Fan Upset Over Pricing

thegamer.com:

It seems like every time a new Fortnite crossover is announced these days, you'll find a gaggle of angry fans complaining about its pricing not too far behind. Last month, it was the price of Fortnite's avatar collaboration skins that got fans fired up, and now they've taken aim at the game's upcoming collaboration with Star Wars, once again due to the pricing.

Starting on May 3 (I know, it's weird), various Star Wars-related items and bundles will be made available across all of Fortnite's game modes, including Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, Fortnite Festival, and the Battle Royale mode itself. Arguably, the biggest addition in this crossover is the Chewbacca skin, which is included in the Lego Fortnite Star Wars Pass and will set you back a pretty substantial 1,400 V-Bucks (roughly $12).

Unfortunately, the Lego Fortnite mode isn't exactly everyone's cup of tea, and the extra 400 V-Bucks Epic is charging in comparison to the previous Star Wars crossover Battle Pass is rubbing some people the wrong way. Fortnite fans have accused this extra charge of being a "Lego tax", and that the pass has way less value than the previous one, despite costing more, as all the extra content is for a mode that no one is really interested in.

Chewbacca will eventually get added to the Shop, meaning all people have to do is wait if they don't want extra Lego Fortnite bits, but the pass is only one of the issues fans have at the moment. Complaints about the pricing of these Star Wars cosmetics are actually spread across every mode, as it was recently calculated that you'll need roughly 12,000 V-Bucks if you want everything the crossover offers.

That's roughly $96 worth of V-Bucks you'll need to spend to grab every Star Wars item on offer, though you could obviously reduce that amount if you bought your V-Bucks in bulk. That's still a lot of cash to drop for just one crossover event though, and doesn't take into account Lego Star Wars Decor Bundles that range between 250-750
