Bring back old store recolors!

The Apex Item Store is 99% of the time filled with garbage charms and weapon skins that no one wants so I barely ever check it. The new "bundles" are a joke - has anyone even bought the lifeline char...

@FreelancerWhisky I think the bundles are a nice addition to the store which needed some serious changes implemented for a long time. I do agree that their profits would skyrocket if they had better skins or a better store rotation, since the game released i've only ever purchased 2 skins with red tokens, but I have purchased a bunch of event items and random skins. Players like limited time items, that is what makes them special and persuades people to buy them.

What I would personally suggest with the store is 1 featured box where it gives you a choice of alternate skins every single week for a legendary weapon skin you ALREADY have so I can finally start using my stockpiled currency.

Here's the thing: I am okay with ACTUAL limited time events. Every limited time event has a trailer, an in-game quest that gives out free rewards, is generally 2 weeks or longer, has an official website announcement before the event even STARTS, etc. Skins for limited time events are designed specifically for that event.

However, we are talking about RECOLORS of existing skins. There are no new assets, no trailer, no extended period of time to puchase, no free rewards, NOTHING. If you don't check the store one week out of 365 days you will miss it forever. I would not be so mad if the recolors were announced ahead of time, were specifically mentioned as limited-time only, had a grace period of more than 3-5 days to purchase them, had a website announcement and trailer to raise awareness, and were not just mere paint jobs of EXISTING skins that people have already purchased.

I like your suggestion of having a sort of secondary store that changes every day and checks your inventory and offers recolors based on what you already own. That'd be a nice solution.
