The 3rd Anniversary Collection Event is finally live in Apex Legends, but many players noticed right away that something was very wrong. The 3rd Anniversary Collection Event Special Offer store tab was completely empty. For the collection itself, the skins were also not purchasable, and the skins could not be looked at closer or rotated manually. Instead, all items in the shop read as locked.
According to leaker and dataminer, Shrugtal, the event store should be working fully one hour after the event launch. For some reason, the store data wasn’t set to go live at the same time as the event, but one hour later instead.

This is affecting all players, as the lock is on the development side. There was no comment from Respawn about why it happened, whether it was a glitch, or just a miscommunication, that caused the items to remain locked for an extended period of time, but things have been sorted out. If the glitch was getting you down, no worries. The shop should now be live for all players.
The Apex Legends 3rd Anniversary Collection Event runs from Feb 15 until March 1.
