Fortniterecently collaborated with the popular showAdventure Time, which brought four skins and a wide variety of accessories to the Item Shop. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy with the crossover, as many fans feel the cosmetics are overpriced. Many of the complaints seem to be rooted in the fact that three of the skins are priced at 1,500 V-Bucks and don’t come with edit styles or back blings. Furthermore, while there is anAdventure Timebundle to cut down on the overall price, not all the cosmetics are included. So, fans looking to acquire the back blings, emotes, or glider need to pay full price without any discounted option for purchasing everything. This appears to be an unusual move for Epic Games, as most collaboration items are usually available in a bundle.
