ROBLOX President's Day Weekend Sale


Hi guys, Axelthehedgehog here. I was going to wait til' the end of the sale to post an article, but so many awesome things have come out, the catalog is in chaos and I had to post something sooner.

On Day 1, ROBLOX put a ton of hats and gear on sale for 20%-50%, some offsale hats came back onsale, and a few items went limited. I'll do a quick run-through of what happened on Day 1.

Well Worn Hat  - Renamed Erik Cassel's Hat, discounted to 20 robux, and timed
Dominus Vespertilio - Made limited
Profit Vision Goggles - Made limited
Dark Realm Soldier - Made limited

2 items that a large majority of the Let's Make a Deal forum voted to go back onsale, W's Top Hat and Spec Beta Biograft Energy sword, did not go onsale which caused quite a lot of rage when they realized they weren't coming back.

Making the Profit Vision Goggles limited was a very, very bad idea for 2 reasons.
1. About 5,000+ Profit Vision Goggles exist, so making them limited inevitably would end up in failure.
2. They look almost completely identical to Night Vision Goggles, making the value of them drop severely.

2 gear items also came out, one of them very noteworthy: the Pegasus.

The Pegasus is an extremely fun gear to use. It's basically a flying horse that allows you to fly around on it for as long as you want. The controls are pretty simple and you can have hours of fun flying Pegasi with your friends. The price, 2,000 robux, is a bit excessive, but it's an awesome gear and when worn on your avatar it looks more like a pet than a gear.

On Day 2, roblox released 2 retextures and 3 limiteds.

The first retexture published, Blizzaria the Frozen by DarkGenex, definitely deserved its publish.
Blizzaria: The Frozen
 DarkGenex had been advertising Blizzaria for months and at the time of it being published the original model had over 3,000 takes. It was put onsale, non-limited, for 100,000 tickets like Darkseed. Roblox even made a limited item based on Blizzaria, Blizzaria Warlock.

The 2nd retexture was Bluesteel Crown by IBarrageI.

Bluesteel Crown
It was put onsale for 5,000 robux, and a free copy was awarded to IBarrageI for making it.

A new limited item was also made, Scytheface: The Sharpest One.

Scytheface: The Sharpest One
It was sold for 10,000 robux and had only 75 in stock. Despite being ugly and the price being so high, it sold out in under a minute. It sells for for around 15k-20k robux.

Nothing much happened on Day 3. 2 new hats were released, and one retexture was published: Classic Swordpack Throwback.

Classic Swordpack Throwback
A rumor was spread on Let's Make a Deal that it would be called Linked Sword Pack, a parody of the Linked Sword from Sword Fight on the Heights, and given 100 stock, but in the end it ended up being non-limited and 150 robux which I'm sure disappointed a few.

I'm writing this in the morning on Day 4 of the sale, and so far only one thing has happened. Dark Cerulean Crown of Ozymandias went limited. Initially it was given massive offers such as Darkheart + Illumina, or Darkheart + Gaze of Socom1880. But later its value is expected to lower to around 300-400k robux.

4 retextures were leaked on Day 1 of the sale, and the only one yet to be published is G's Top Hat, or Gusmanak's Top Hat.

G's Top Hat
Similar to W's Top Hat, G's Top Hat is predicted to be limited and sell for 4,500 - 10,000 robux like W's Top Hat or JJ5x5's Top Hat.

There are still 4 days left in the sale, so anything could happen. Keep your eyes open for new limited items and retextures, we're only halfway through.
