EA, please.Make the pre-order appearances for Rey and Kylo Ren purchaseable. I, for one, am more than willing to pay for them if that's what it takes. The in-game value for these appearances is equivalent to ~$10, so I'd gladly fork over $20 for both of them. I'm sure I'm not the only one here. It's an opportunity for more money, you must see that.

@TheGamerSeal Never gonna happen as they're tied to pre-order as exclusive content. Would defeat part of the purpose for people like me who pre-ordered the game.They're only skins anyway, and Kylo's Supreme Leader and Rey's legendary skin are their best skins by far so it's not really an issue.

Be honest now, it's about those sour grapes.

Hey everyone, We are ware of this feedback from the community but there are no plans for this to change. /Atic

Is somebody who pre-ordered this I would be pissed if they just gave the Skins out I stuck by this game from the beta to the release on day one.A lot of people waited and did not want to support the game to those people I say tough

As it has been brought up you can still buy this version of the game but I would not make it unlockable via crystals or credits

@TheGamerSeal I’m with you. I hope they change their minds and give the skins to us one day.

@CONDQ @EA_Atic Honestly, I see no reason why we can't have the skins, as long as we're willing to purchase crystals in order to acquire them.

@TheGamerSeal I agree, while I could see the side of people who pre-ordered this game wanting to feel like the pre-order was worth it by having skins that only they can access, this games service is ending, and those people who have the pre-order likely have decked out Rey with the golden lightsaber and have Ren in his Nightengale costume and don't use them anymore...and....

I need them because I'm a completionist and don't like seeing the appearances saying 5/6

I want it to say 6/6

plz?

See you guys on the battlefront 🙂

@EA_Darko Any word on these appearances being purchaseable? I strongly believe it's a good way to get more money out of the game, and it will CERTAINLY make a lot of people happy.

One argument I would have regarding pre-order people who might be mad is this: if the appearances cost real money, then it would be as if we all paid for the pre-order.

A lot of people wanted these appearances, but simply could not afford to pre-order the game. It would essentially be the same thing as re-opening challenges for the Farmboy and Princess appearances multiple times for people that couldn't get them when they were available.

Please consider this.

@TheGamerSeal Funny thing is, when I bought the game it came with a thingo with a code that let me get the skins...so I type in the code on the console, and go into the game...nothing happens. I type it in again, it says it was already claimed...by me. So, yeah, they definitely should just have the preorder able to buy for credits or free, like Fallen Order did after a while

@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R It's an issue for people who couldn't afford the pre-order. It doesn't matter which appearances look the best. I want to complete my collection, and I'm willing to pay money to do it. I'd expect disagreement from people who pre-ordered if the appearances were released with milestones.

I mean, it's not like you can't still find copies of the Elite Trooper Edition at retail. I got mine as a Christmas gift back in December, and the Wal*Mart I found it at had multiple copies still in stock, priced roughly around $20.

Also, GameStop has a practice called "Move to Used", where they take still-sealed copies of older unsold games and recategorize them as Used. It is highly likely that at least some "Used" copies of the Elite Trooper Edition available at GameStop actually haven't been used at all, and the pre-order codes (which are still valid) are sitting behind the counter with the discs, waiting to be sold.
