We're back! / Overview

After many, many months of inactivity, we're back. So much stuff has happened in these past months, including the Halloween 2013 event, The Witching Hour. The goal of this game was to collect 31 BLOXikins and defeat the final boss. You got to keep every BLOXikin you collected as a hat, and also for your efforts you got several bonus hats depending on how many you collected. These bonus hats were-

Halloween Checkered Bowtie - Earned by collecting one BLOXikin. Just a basic orange and black bowtie. Not bad for the couple minutes of effort it would have taken you to collect just one.

Spookoween Hat - Earned by collecting five BLOXikins. It's a reddish bowler with Halloween-type stuff on it. Pretty standard, but five BLOXikins is not very many.

Amethyst Vampire Collar - Earned by collecting ten BLOXikins. It's a retexture of the original Vampire Collar but with a purple inside. Pretty cool.

Bat Phones - Earned by collecting fifteen BLOXkins. White and purple headphones with bats on the side. Headphones are always good prizes.

Noir Riddling Skull - Earned by collecting twenty BLOXikins. A darker colored version of the original Riddling Skull. Who would have known that in 2008 when the original Riddling Skull was released that five years laters they would put out a new one?

Purple Pumpkin Inferno - Earned by collecting twenty five BLOXikins. This is... odd. It's a retexture of the original Pumpkin Inferno from 2010.

Cloak of the Living Dead - Earned by collecting thirty BLOXikins. It's basically a purple vampire cape that matches the Amethyst Vampire Collar.

Orange Banded Top Hat - Earned by collecting every BLOXikin and defeating the final boss. If you actually had the patience to get this, congratulations. This is the sixth banded top hat after the red, purple, green, blue, and yelow versions. This top hat uses the newer mesh.

In other Top Hat news...

W's Top Hat went on sale for one hour on Friday. It was 4500 R$. This Top Hat was one of the rarest ones before it went back on sale. It's still moderately rare with 516 sales.

News: Sorry for the inactivity, and the Egg Hunt 2013 is open!

I've been sick lately, so I haven't made any posts. But anyway, the Egg Hunt 2013 opened today! There's some cool eggs this year!

News: Changes, changes, changes! + Item Review: Dual Darkhearts

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, but while we were gone many changes have happened. The Dual Darkhearts have been released, the forum lagposting fad has come and gone (somewhat), and most importantly, the 2.0 body has gone NBC!

2.0 Body now NBC

It's actually happened- the 2.0 body has gone NBC. Why? We don't know. We do know that nothing good can come from this.

Lagposting Trend

Yes, lagposting. This can be done by clicking "post" tons of times and refreshing instantly. It used to be insanely popular, but not so much anymore after the mods got strict about it.

Item Review: Dual Darkhearts

The Dual Darkhearts were released on February 28th, 2013.

Ratings

Price - 2/10

While compared to the price of the normal Darkheart, 60,000 R$ sounds like a steal. However, many people say this was a bit too much- it took almost three days to sell out. It was very successful after selling out, though.

Usefulness - 10/10

If you thought the Dual Illuminas were good, wait until you see these- they do as much damage as the Dual Illuminas, but you steal the health for yourself! With these in hand, nothing can stop you.

Look - 10/10

The same fashion as the Dual Illuminas, but I think these look slightly better.

Rarity - 9/10

There's 100 of these out there, And the current RAP is about 85,000 R$. Good luck getting ahold of one.

Overall Score - 8/10

This gear would have been nearly perfect if not for the initial price, but it's still very successful nonetheless.

News: Forum Revamp!

                      New                                                Old

                                

The "Old" image was taken right after the previous forum update which is why it's out of order.

Yet another major update to the ROBLOX forums. This is a revamption update. All of the icons, the New Thread button, and the Post Reply button have all been changed. This update is actually kind of sad, it gives the forums an entirely new atmosphere, taking away that way-too familiar feeling that most frequent posters know. Here are some more images of the new layout-

News/Item Review: BiggerHead

"OMG WAT THE HECK IS DAT??"

Ahh, the BiggerHead. One of the rarest hats of all time. When you see someone wearing this hat, you know they mean business. But wait... w-why is it on sale...? I thought this was supposed to be a super rare hat only for the people who stuck with ROBLOX since the beginning! Whatever the case, it's back on sale for a week.

Ratings

Price - 10/10

550 R$. Back when this hat was originally released, that was a crazy amount of money. Only a few people who had worked hard to earn the money could afford it. Today, however, almost anyone who's had BC can afford it. It's too cheap for being one of the greatest hats of all time. It's sold more in the past two days then it sold in it's original two and a half years when it was released. Most of the people of ROBLOX are amazed and happy they actually have a chance at obtaining this legend, but the few active original owners of this hat are angry. There isn't anything that can be done on their side of the story. Let's just hope the BigHead isn't next.

Look - 10/10

Again, this hat is legendary. Until yesterday, all anyone could do was just gawk at it and hope for a miracle. No one really knows why this hat is so epic, but it can definitely be said that it's charm is no longer so captivating.

Overall Score - 10/10

While not as insanely epic as it once was, the BiggerHead still maintains that certain indescribable awesomeness.

News- President's Day Weekend Sale!

Today the President's Day Weekend Sale starts! New items will come out, old items will come back, and tons of items will be discounted! Keep an eye out for upcoming reviews on these items!

-BREAKING NEWS- Erik Cassel has Passed.

Today, GongFuTiger tweeted 'Silence from me for the next few days ... In memory to the finest man I've worked with, Erik Cassel. The spirit of ROBLOX will carry on ...'.

Erik's passing has already impacted the ROBLOX community. We will miss him and all of our hearts are out to the ROBLOX team and Erik's family.

News: Item Explosion

A few days ago, ROBLOX's catalog EXPLODED with hats and gear, almost all promotions (One is for sale). About 5 gear and 6-7 hats, you'll be sure to get one if you are about to buy a card due to the amount of stores that have one of the promotions available.

News: Major ROBLOX Glitch has come and gone

Last night, Shedletsky posted a note on his Twitter that read-

"Last 4 hours to exploit the 70% off bug!"

While this confused a lot of people, some knew exactly what he was talking about. He was referring to the 70% Catalog Glitch. By doing this glitch, any non-limited in the catalog was 70% off!

Unfortunately, it no longer works. But yesterday, hundreds of people were buzzing to make the most profit possible from it. It worked sort of like this- you had to be using Google Chrome and you had to know how to use the Inspect Element tool. Basically you switched some things around so you were buying the item from yourself, resulting in you getting 70% of your money back. It didn't work on limiteds, but that didn't stop people from using it.

Another glitch come and gone- you never know when things like this will pop up.

Item Review: Sensei

"You learn, but he does not teach."

 The Sensei was released on January 3, 2013.

Ratings

Price - 9/10

This is another one of those hats that seems strangely cheap. I mean, it looks like any other hat, but it's only 50 R$. I guess it's a good deal, but it's just strange the way ROBLOX decides to make any random hat a good deal.

Look - 7/10

It's an OK original mesh, but it just seems a little bland. There's tons of very similar hats already out there. This seems like a kind of hat that will be forgotten once it's off the catalog's front page.

Overal Score - 8/10

While at 50 R$ it is considerably cheap, it just kind of blends in to the background of the ROBLOX catalog.

News: CLOCKWORK IS BACK!?!??!?

 Clockwork was discovered to be online today after a series of "CLOCKWORK IS BACK!!!1!!11" posts were made in RT. He has made no comments about his situation and we are stilll waiting for more news on this.

Item Review: Friendly Frosty Andriod

"The coolest robot you'll ever meet. Literally."

The Friendly Frosty Andriod was released on January 3, 2013.

Ratings

Price - 9.5/10

At only 35 R$, you can't go wrong. That's pretty cheap for a hat these days, and for one that looks like this I'd say it's probably one of the best things you can spend 35 R$ on.

Look - 9/10

Can you say "creepy"? Just look into it's eyes... Anyway, it's a pretty cool design, and, once again, it's just 35 R$! If this hat was a limited it would have become famous.

Overall Score - 9.25/10

You simply can't go wrong with this hat. It looks cool and hardly costs anything in today's market.

News: The Great Forum Switch - Before and After

The ROBLOX Forum switch is complete, and we have some pictures of the before and after versions. This switch was made for our own good, too many off topic posts were made in RT. The new ATR will strictly be for ROBLOX-related posts only.

News: RT and OT being moved!?

RT is leaving the ROBLOX Forum Section and moving to Club Houses. A new section, All Things ROBLOX, will be taking RT's place. Many people are upset to see RT leave it's spot it's held for so long, but it's for the best. RT and OT will be both moving to the same section, making two seperate versions of OT. Some members of RT will be moving to the new ATR, and some will be staying where they know best.  

RT is NOT going to be renamed "Random Talk", Chiefjustus has confirmed. In other news, the ledgendary Top 100 Poster system is rumored to be in the works.

News: "Other News" page has been deleted

As it has served practically no purpose, news will now be posted on the main page as well as reviews.

Item Review: Real Ice Cold Stunnas

The Real Ice Cold Stunnas were released on December 18, 2012.

Ratings

Price - 2/10

At 20,000 R$, this is yet another limited that is too expensive to sell out. With around 70 sold, ROBLOX has decided to put a timer on this item. The timer will run out in about two hours as of right now, and it is suggested that all the copies already sold will become limited.

Look - 7/10

They sure are "unusual". I guess, they're not bad, but it's really based on opinion on this particular item.

Rarity - 9/10

With 149 originally to be sold, this item would have already been rare. But it's very unlikely that all of them will sell out, making this hat a possible double digits quantity.

Overall Score - 6/10

They don't look too bad and are quite rare, but I think we can all say we're sick of overpriced hats that don't sell.

Item Review: Desert Ranger

The Desert Ranger was released on January 3, 2013.

Ratings

Price - 9/10

This hat is somewhat similar to the Desert Scout, a very successful Limited U. At only 120 R$, it beats that price by a longshot.

Look - 7.5/10

Going back to the Desert Scout, we can see the similarities. This hat is an original design and doesn't look bad at all for it's price.

Overall Score - 8.25/10

It's very cheap and compared to today's selection of hats seems a bit generic, but it's bound to become a popular hat by following in the Desert Scout's wake.

Place Review: Giftstravaganza 2012™ by SmoothBlockModel

In Giftstravaganza 2012™, your goal is to collect all the different presents. All 21 of them.

Ratings

Building - 8/10

As far as building goes, there's not much here. What is here is simple, yet well done.

Scripting - 10/10

This place has amazing scripting. A GUI at the top of the screen lets you know what gifts you have, the rarity of the gifts, and even lets you wear ones you've collected by clicking on them. The game even automatically saves your progress, which is something you don't see too often. Every gift in the game is different. Some are everywhere and some appear so rarely that everyone rushes to get them at once. Once you've collected 20 of the gifts, santa himself appears and gives you the final gift. This is no easy task.

Entertainment Value - 10/10

This game is a lot of fun with friends and is very challenging to complete. The fact that it automatically saves will have you coming back again and again.

Overall Score - 9.5/10

This game is very well scripted, from it's opening title screen to santa delivering the final gift. It's very fun, and if you haven't already played it be sure to try it out!

Item Review: Sparkle Rabbit Ears

The Sparkle Rabbit Ears were released on January 3rd, 2013. With about 800 sold, they're gaining popularity.

Ratings

Price - 6/10

I suppose that at 75R$, they're not too expensive. Then again, there's a lot of similar hats out there for less.

Look - 1/10

I'm just not even going to say anything.

Overall Score- 3/10

This review was very short, but I just wanted to get it over with. Not for me.

Item Review: Tornado Summoner

The Tornado Summoner is a limited gear that was priced at 1000R. There was 500 of them sold.

Ratings

Price - 8/10

As it was 1000R (Considerably cheap nowadays) It isn't a bad price for a gear that only 500 of it were sold.

Usefulness - 10/10

Summons a bunch of tornadoes (duh) and whips people around the field. Pretty awesome if you can get to a place that allows ranged gear.

Look - 7/10

It looks like a good gear and design, but then again, it doesn't look like Dual Illumina.

Rarity - 4/10

Not all that rare considering how many were sold.. But all limiteds rise then lower then rise and so on. It'll be somewhere in the 'rare' mark later on.

Overall Score - 8/10

It was pretty cheap when it was released but the price has skyrocketed through private sales. Looks pretty cool and does cool stuff, I'd try and get my hands on one of these.

Item Review: Black Ponytail 3.0

The Black Ponytail 3.0 is the first ever hair to be sold separately for the 3.0 bodies. Created in September 2011 and recently bumped to the front page of the catalog, many people are upset that it's getting more attention.

Ratings

Price - 9/10

Compared to most other hair on ROBLOX, this is one of the cheapest. At only 50 R$, it's very inexpensive for a hat, but then again you'll need BC to get the 3.0 Package that it's designed for.

Look - 5/10

As far as hair on Roblox goes, this one isn't the best. It's probably the color, if it was brown or blonde it wouldn't look so bad, but maybe it's for the best that it's black. Less of them will sell, and 3.0 haters won't be as angry.

Overall Score - 7/10

It's very cheap for it's kind, but doesn't look the best. But as far as hair goes, I'd say it's worth your money.

Item Review: Skeleton Lord

The Skeleton Lord was released as a Halloween hat during October 2012, priced at 5,000 R$. When only 61 of them sold, ROBLOX decided to make it Limited.

Ratings

Price - 1/10

The price of 5,000 R$ was why so little sold in the first place. If you were one of the lucky few people who originally bought one of these, you can now triple your money by selling it as a Limited.

Look - 6/10

Surprisingly for such a rare hat, it doesn't look great. This may be one of the reasons why it's not selling for so much more, being that there's only 61 of them. It would sure look good in your inventory, though!

Rarity - 10/10

It's not often that Roblox makes hats Limited that have sold so few, let alone an amount in double digits. You could have gotten one of these for 5K, but if too many people had it wouldn't have gone Limited.

Overall Score- 7/10

It doesn't look too good on your head and the price was sky high, but the fact that there's so few of them makes this hat a rare collectible.

ROBLOX Caps: A New Tradition?

A few days ago, ROBLOX published this hat, called the Roblox 2013 Cap. This begs the question: is Roblox going to be releasing a new one every year, or will they replace visors?

Ratings

Price - 10/10

Only 10 Tix? How can you go wrong? With already over 44,000 sold, this hat is gaining popularity fast. It sure beats the price of the Italian Ski Cap, a similar hat from 2007.

Look - 8/10

It doesn't look to bad for the price. This one being the first of its kind, it's bound to be seen everywhere.

Overall Score - 9/10

This hat was a pleasant surprise for most NBCers without much money, as hats in Tix don't come out very often.

Item Review: Peach Thug Shades

The Peach Thug Shades were released on November 15, 2012. They have yet to sell out as of today.

Ratings

Price - 1/10

These Peach Thug Shades can be yours for the affordable price of 50,000 R$! As of 1/3/12, only 12 of these have been sold, leaving 38 still in stock. Many people predict the once (or if) this hat sells out, the price of the limiteds will fall 25% or more.

Look - 7.5/10

I guess they don't look BAD, but they certainly aren't the best shades out there. If you want some decent and much more affordable shades, try the Stylin' Shades for only 350 R$.

Rarity - 10/10

There's only 50 of them, which is very little for a hat like this.

Overall Score - 4/10

While these aren't the worst shades around, they're some of the most expensive. At this rate, it will take another six months for these to sell out, but you will probably be able to get them for much cheaper once they go limited.

Item Review: Roblox Visor 2013

The Roblox Visor 2013 is the latest installment of Roblox's tradition of making a new visor every year. What's different about this one though is that it was (briefly) on sale during the last week of December 2012. During the 5 minutes it was available, 1,707 of them were sold. It went offsale and hasn't gone back on since.

Ratings

Price - N/A

It's a visor. Visors are always around 10 Tickets, this one being exactly 10.

Look- 10/10

This is a great looking visor. As far as visors go, this is definitely one of the best. It's much better than 2012's by far. Definitely worth your *10* tickets.

Overall Score- 10/10?

Like I said, visors are visors. Not much to evaluate considering they're so cheap and just retextures of one another. This one in particular is one of my favorites and brings back the classic neon look from 2008 and 2009.

UPDATE: The visor has gone back on sale, and it is now 10 R$, making this the first ever visor to be priced in R$.

UPDATE: The visor has changed it's price back to 10 Tix, but many people who paid 10 R$ are mad.
