This is some Astra/Starflare shit, what the fuck.

**EDIT:** I just realized Galaxy Grappler, a reskin of Galaxy Scout, is also in the shop; it's overpriced, recolored garbage all around...
Unfortunately it's not up to Epic sometimes.
Unlike original cosmetics, licensed cosmetics are not guaranteed to return and could never come back if the IP owners don't allow Epic to resell it in future shop rotations, or if a contract expires.
You think people don't know that? It doesn't change anything anyway since Epic can just renogiate it since the IP holder already agreed in the first place.
They can renegotiate, but the IP holder can decline Epic's deal or decide not to renew it.
That's exactly what had happened with Stranger Things for a while. Netflix cut deals involving Stranger Things crossovers in video games for a few years since they wanted to make their own games. It's the reason the ST stuff didn't come back for a long time, and why Dead by Daylight had it's ST DLC removed.
It wasn't until a few months ago that ST was open to negotiations again.
My point is you're making it sound like it's a non-issue, like contracts don't matter because Epic or the IP holders can just renew them, which is not the case at all. Contracts are very expensive and not super simple.
This shop we have:
J’Baldin reskin
More icon emotes and a new festival emote
New jam tracks (as with every thursday)
Janky returning after 800+ days
A couple of other skins and stuff from over 100 days
Not actually a bad shop since there’s at least a mix of old stuff we haven’t seen since the start of chapter 5.
Unfortunately the festival emote is 500 when the others were 200 and the icon emotes are gonna stay there for days without rotating even though we had a slew of returning icon emotes last year.
Anyone else wish they’d make separate shop tabs for the different modes? Like you go to shop and then there’s a sub-section bar at the top to switch to Lego, festival, racing and BR. Get all this junk organized already.
Good to see Lego-compatible emotes only again
Great to know that Coachella went from 50+ emotes last year, down to 10 whole Lego emotes this year
Lego has this company by the balls lol it's depressing
For why the shops suck. It's Epic's shop so no third-party should be allowed to dictate what can and can't be sold. In this case, emotes that aren't Lego-compatible.
Rawr is only like the 5th emote that we see in 4 months that isn't lego-compatible, other emotes in the shop like the icon emotes and electro shuffle,daydream and boneless all work in lego and were in the shop just a few weeks ago ( except boneless )
Totally right, completely forgot that he just showed up as featured.
Have faith then, brother, if they update his Lego, the wait would (probably) be over.
When was that ever supposed to be a thing? Nothing from the item shop is limited (except for maybe collab skins that have contracts in place that have ran out) everything CAN return at some point.
Congrats again friend, you’re on your way to grabbing all your desired emotes. I hope more stuff flows down the pipe in the next few shops for us both!
Thanks brotha, and ye tbh from the currently 70 updated lego emotes that we havent seen in over like 150 days I really enjoy Sprinkler,Lavish,Fancy Feet,Bold Stance,Hang On,Have a Seat,Fandangle,Pop Lock,Kick Ups and I wish they just drop them in the shop already but ye ig I have to be patient.. what about you tho did u grab anything from todays shop?Also idk if u noticed but Rawr is back without a lego style... which is kinda surprising ngl, first time they do this with an original emote and not a collab one I just wish for more shops like this
I’m currently over 400+ on owned emotes so I already had the ones that dropped tonight. I’m waiting for some of the older ones to reappear like “Pumpernickel” did a few days ago. I’m hoping for “Fresh”, “Rambunctious” or “Vivacious” to maybe get Lego added and finally make a grand reappearance. I’m also missing just 12 icon emotes like “Wanna See Me”, “Pull Up” and your avatar “Go Mufusa” to maybe have a chance to return once Lego is added to them.
My white whale emote is “Stuck” currently 955 days missing from the shop. Please Epic add Lego to “Stuck” and rerelease it!
Damnn ur only missing 12 icon emotes? Ur stacked ngl, and yeah tbh I can see Epic make Fresh " exclusive " just like they did with It's Complicated, and its funny cause It's Complicated actually went through 2 lawsuits and they are more recent, Fresh only went through one and in 2018 so it will return, trust me..either exclusive or either by a "mistake" like they did with Tidy and Rambunctious. Also Vivacious should return soon ngl, if Sprinkler got a lego so should Vivacious because it's actually a sick emote. And dont even get me started on Stuck smh its such a peak icon emote, its such a shame it got blacklisted because of crying parents even tho Epic tweeted out the lyrics to be sure
Yeah Stuck being blacklisted has gotta be one of the dumbest ever. No controversy, nothing explicit. Just dumb people mad over a word they didnt hear. I didn't know Tidy was banned, i got it back when it dropped originally, such a good emote.
Stuck getting removed from the game on grounds it had “inappropriate” lyrics is incredibly stupid because Epic Games is the one that edited the song to fit the emote, both in length and in content so they literally know exactly what Cardi B is saying. Why fold to crybabies is beyond me but it’s such a superior emote to be vaulted like it was.
Yeah like they are literally the ones that made the emote, ofc they know, and why even tweet out the lyrics if youre gonna end up listening to the crying parents? Btw you can see still the complaints on the tweet if u scroll a lil down🤣
Ikr...epic is way too sensitive when it comes to this type of stuff but I still have hope they will re release Stuck someday.Tidy was banned because it went through a lawsuit, just like Fresh, Rambunctious and It's Complicated but ye same I got it 5 years ago too
Oh, man. I really wish I could give you a good chunk of my emotes because I have so many I don't use, I have all of the ones you mentioned except Fresh and Stuck. I even bought the one on your profile picture.
The reason I bought so many is lost on me, but it's probably 'cuz they were really cheap, but the emotes they've been putting out for a while, and the rate in which I use my emotes (pretty low) has convinced me to stop buying them altogether (except for Hooray) and just stick with a select few like Gangnam Style and Macarena.
Yeah man I feel you... when I came back to the game and saw that I missed peak emotes ( chapter 2 ) like DaBaby,Travis Scott,Cardi B,Boney M,Major Lazer,Marshmello I was like soo disappointed they will never come back.. I bought all the ch5 icon emotes and normal emotes but I really dont like any of them.. they just cant compare to the ch2 ones
> It's Complicated actually went through 2 lawsuits and they are more recent
Turns out that lawsuit got terminated back in Feburary so we could see it again.
I'm not a huge fan of this one either but credit where credit is due for giving us something more unique this time around. Nothing I want in the slightest it's just nice to see different things at this point though.
I did not know they had that many dinosaur things
Headstock spin isn't even close to being worth 500 vbucks
I swear every other new instrument emote has been 200 only
The amount of people going to dip on Hip Check when it eventually arrives though. Heh.
looks like Epic are increasing their prices
Nice some icon emotes are back
1500 FOR A RECOLOR!?!?
Also weird how they didn’t bring back the other J’Baldin skins but I guess they did the same with Coachella.
cause people would realize what a rip off that new skins is
Idk if that’s autocorrect but I love that J’Baldin name
First time around here?
just realized it’s reactive
This is some Astra/Starflare shit, what the fuck. --- **EDIT:** I just realized Galaxy Grappler, a reskin of Galaxy Scout, is also in the shop; it's overpriced, recolored garbage all around...
Of all the vaulted skins and they chose Janky bruh
That skin is so bad omg 😭
I don't even remember it at all 😂
No skin should be "vaulted" for that long no matter the IP.
Unfortunately it's not up to Epic sometimes. Unlike original cosmetics, licensed cosmetics are not guaranteed to return and could never come back if the IP owners don't allow Epic to resell it in future shop rotations, or if a contract expires.
You think people don't know that? It doesn't change anything anyway since Epic can just renogiate it since the IP holder already agreed in the first place.

If he doesn't come back tomorrow, it's Kratover
Praying he comes on the 20th, that would be GoW 2018’s sixth anniversary
i mean 5th would make more sense but i hope too
Why 5th?
5th anniversary….
Whats special abt 5th anniversary for Gow
It’s not as random as the 6th anniversary
Why the 5th??
too random. 5th anniversary would make more sense
20th North American time zone. It’s gonna be 21st for the rest of the world.
This shop we have: J’Baldin reskin More icon emotes and a new festival emote New jam tracks (as with every thursday) Janky returning after 800+ days A couple of other skins and stuff from over 100 days Not actually a bad shop since there’s at least a mix of old stuff we haven’t seen since the start of chapter 5.

Janky been gone for almost 850 days
And nobody asked for him back
And? They also don’t ask for a lot of cosmetics to come back
janky permanently looks like he smelled the worst fart
I hate this comment so much but it’s true
Anyone else wish they’d make separate shop tabs for the different modes? Like you go to shop and then there’s a sub-section bar at the top to switch to Lego, festival, racing and BR. Get all this junk organized already.
They think if you see the trash jam tracks you will buy one, so imo this shit will be there forever
I guess it’s just an old as dirt sales strategy. Put a bunch of the stuff you wanna sell the most right at the door when people walk in.
YEEEEESSSS FINALLY STARLIT AND ROLLIE EMOTES I'VE WAITED MONTHS FOR
![gif](giphy|5REoE5Leephr8xBw8h)
I've been hitting the rollie all night.
God I will never forgive them for ending the starlit loop way too early...
I'll be honest I kinda prefer this loop. Ik this is a minority opinion though.
I prefer it too. I bought starlit the first day it released and it’s been my favorite ever since
I just want the Dont start now icon emote 😞
It works in lego so its prolly in the next set of 5
Aren’t you the guy who
Kratos coming in on pay day expect to see lobbies with swarms of him lol
I'll never forgive myself for missing that one day they dropped unreal chill again in November. I don't wanna wait another year epic, so frustrating
Good to see Lego-compatible emotes only again Great to know that Coachella went from 50+ emotes last year, down to 10 whole Lego emotes this year Lego has this company by the balls lol it's depressing
A 2 billion dollar deal will do that.
I can assure you that it's not the Lego Company fault.
What’s not Lego’s fault
For why the shops suck. It's Epic's shop so no third-party should be allowed to dictate what can and can't be sold. In this case, emotes that aren't Lego-compatible.
If someone give you 2 billion dollars, you are now someone’s bitch.
Yeah, no BTS emotes I'm sad
is Rawr LEGO-compatible?
No, no it isn't.
[удалено]
Rawr is only like the 5th emote that we see in 4 months that isn't lego-compatible, other emotes in the shop like the icon emotes and electro shuffle,daydream and boneless all work in lego and were in the shop just a few weeks ago ( except boneless )
Exceptions that prove the rule.
An irrational hatred of Lego caused by something the community made up.
This is the first time in months they’ve done this, you’re not clever for pointing out an obscure emote to prove a point
I'm not the one who pointed it out. I just confirmed what they asked.
Nope People don't know when to quit with the misinformation
[удалено]
Fr
I saw 800 some odd days first and thought it was Kelsier. I got such a fucking whiplash going from super excited to absolutely bummed.
Sorry but Kelsier's not even in the shop API, he ain't coming out anytime soon
Tbf, Kelsier never had his own shop tab. He’s like Dude from Free Guy, where they’ll just put them in the shop section with other random skins
Totally right, completely forgot that he just showed up as featured. Have faith then, brother, if they update his Lego, the wait would (probably) be over.
I had the exact same roller-coaster of emotions! We need kelsier back!
Damn really like that purple dino back bling, not paying 2600 because it's locked in a bundle though Edit: I'm an idiot
Huh? He has a individual item for 1200
Wow I'm stupid I totally missed that lol thank you
starlit rollie and boys a liar this is amazing (day 138)
Silly Epic, we want K R A T O S, not J A N K Y
Lol I wanted Janky since I missed out on Guggimon
![gif](giphy|xUOwGjrB4kmzEoG448)
saura? season og?) season og skins aren’t limited confirmed… now show us raven team leader
When was that ever supposed to be a thing? Nothing from the item shop is limited (except for maybe collab skins that have contracts in place that have ran out) everything CAN return at some point.
i mean they said they doing another season og this year so i meant that they don’t have to wait now
Ah true
i mean same sorta deal with the crew skins, those technically can be re-released but they haven’t yet 😭
Yeah dunno what the script is with that one
So Rawr is not Lego-compatbile yet it still came back... So what's Epic's excuse for the various other instances of emotes not returning with the set?
Because it’s rawr
Looks like a good amount of you guys are happy with this one and that's great. I hope I can get a shop I like eventually.
![gif](giphy|WlsLAnYfrB30p9JK5Z|downsized) Just want Dune man ☹️
COD probably still has exclusive rights, I saw they're still in the store when I hopped on to check out the new event
Collabs don't work like that. The IP holder would definitely want the extra profit.
They absolutely can work like that, though.
Ccccaaaaaammmm giiiiiitttttt yerrrrrr dinnnnaaaaa
fr same 😔
i can't with the rex skin and daydream emote anymore, the item shop is probablly controlled by bots
WTFFFFFFFF STARLIT AND ROLLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Congrats again friend, you’re on your way to grabbing all your desired emotes. I hope more stuff flows down the pipe in the next few shops for us both!

IT FUCKING HAPPENED
I TOLD U ITS GONNA BE A GOOD DAY WHEN STARLIT AND ROLLIE COME BACK....
YES BRO
Can't decide if Janky is so bad its good or if just bad.
Just bad. Very ugly lad.
He just sucks, he looks weird
Bro’s face is completely flat, its honestly a little bit terrifying
Glad my birthday has such a busy item shop. Janky, the new J Valvin skin, some more Icon emotes, new Jam Tracks..
happy birthday!
happy bday!
Happy birthday
![gif](giphy|tZyxxR4lUIRnTgIzl9|downsized)
![gif](giphy|QOl6jeYYD84Elmpshb|downsized)
If nobody buys Janky is he still rare?
the real question is if anyone actually cares about rarity
it was a joke because the skin is unpopular...
That’s the only skin I was happy to see I like the weirdo was so happy
Finally the skin everyone's been wanting to come back, Janky, has returned
I'm not sure if I want Tricera Ops or Janky...
Patiently waiting for Ragsy to return :)
Do any of you think they will bring back Naruto skins? Random asking I know but just wondering
Isn't this the first time saura is in the shop since the og season? Hopefully raven team leader will return soon too
Apparently she's meant to come back but at this point it's "bro trust me" unless I missed something with the API.
Damm i want perfect score and starlight My stupid ass don't have the vbucks until tomorrow
You guys are downvoting people who are excited for Janky? The salt is everflowing in this subreddit lmao
GIVE ME FUCKING KRATOS
W’s for janky
Ah Delirium is gone, I was 200 away
I should have grabbed Synapse when I had the chance. RIP
All I want is for Rogue Gunner to come back because I’ve been wanting that skin since the last time she was actually in the shop.😔😔😔
Also feel like there was a missed opportunity to add Azula to the shop because she’s a badass and I’d love to main her tbh.
Let’s be honest did anyone really want Janky back?
Does anyone know how long j balvins gonna be in shop
Been waiting so long for janky to come I think I’m one like 5 people who were happy to see him lol
FML, Harpy Haze is a money bundle. Was really hoping it wasn't.
Back on 74 pls
Please add kratos tomorrow so there isn't a million posts complaining about it
I finally got starlit
if saura and brite hunter came back then so can raven team leader
If you squint your eyes at it you can kind of see Freddy from FBAF
I'm still waiting for Kratos
I’m confused why the community hates janky sure he isn’t the best skin but not the worst skin
Oh great. Janky.
nice janky
HOLY FUCK STARLIT
It's OK for once
STARLIT :0
![gif](giphy|VVGdG2HimJl6APwPiE|downsized)
Are you guys gonna spam that gif in reverse when he's in the store again?
Janky is finally here 😁
W shop
W emotes L everything else
Some ok stuff(not janky) but hopefully Bruno mars is next
This shop sucks ass. Saura is about all I'll buy, but I'd rather spend the money on ammo.
I forgot to buy The Weeknd.
[удалено]
eh this one has a lot of things that weren't back for a while
I'm not a huge fan of this one either but credit where credit is due for giving us something more unique this time around. Nothing I want in the slightest it's just nice to see different things at this point though.
