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.
