Bluesteel Antlers: The Pros and Cons
Pros / Cons
Bluesteel Antlers
So, over Black Friday weekend, ROBLOX released a new set of antlers. Beforehand, a leaked set of the texture, mesh and ID was going around the forums (as usual). Different people thought differently on the antlers. Some thought it would be cheap, nonlimited, and eventually go off-sale. Other thought it would be expensive, timed, and later limited. Finally, mid Saturday, the antlers were released. Their release caused MUCH controversy pretty much everywhere - Twitter, the forums, even in the comments! So, in this post, I'll be going over the pros and cons of the antlers, and well, why I bought them, because I did, and it took a lot of thought.
Pros
1.) Their appearance is awesome. They are antlers, but bluesteel. I mean, I love bluesteel items, and I love antlers, so what better combination could there possibly be? With one look at my bluesteel outfit, you'll know that these antlers are very fitting with many other bluesteel items. Well, all bluesteel items.
So, that's point one. Their appearance. Is this convincing enough to buy the antlers? I hope not. It shouldn't be. If it is, then you aren't very good with your money. You see what I did? I introduced the second point within the first. Heh.
Okay moving on..
2.) Yes, you've survived this almost picture-less article down to point 2 as to why to buy these - money. They originally sold for 20,000 Robux, which is, well, a lot. If you had just over that much, like I did, you probably don't want to buy them. I did though, why? Well, based on my knowledge, the antlers won't be going limited after the timer, which is what all the other hats or gears did that went from a timer to limited. And, seeing as how they won't go limited RIGHT after they sell out, I don't believe there is any chance of them going limited any time soon. They will probably go limited in the future, and wind up profiting, but that's just a guess.
Is that convincing enough yet? If it's not, then you'll probably like what's about to happen. It's time for the
Cons
I know, you were all excited to see the red color, I'm sure. Anyways, it's time for the cons part.
Mmm, negativity.
1.) The price was 20,000. I smell TONS of bad things happening with that. Pretty much, if it doesn't sell for over 28,571 Robux, no profit will be made. None. Zip. That's a lot. Only 123 people were willing to buy it for 20,000 in 30 minutes, so why would people buy it for 30,000? The chances of that are low, but who knows, it could happen. It just might, but who knows? It's not limited. Yet.
2.) Seeing as how only 123 people bought it at 20,000, it obviously doesn't have a high demand (that's point #2). Demand works like this. ROBLOXians like an item, they buy an item, they collect more of that item, they hoard the item, they steal the item, they scam the item, and they just plain out kill each other for that one item. Why? It has high demand. Something like Void Star is an example. It's expensive, and tons of people love it, so it has high demand and does well. Then there are the forgotten items out there with no demand, like that old Igloo limited. It has low demand, so nobody really knows it exists. For the antlers, this could go either way. So the question is,
High Demand or Low Demand? Stay tuned to my next article to find out!
Just kidding.

Black Friday: Limiteds Review
![]() |
| Courtesy of ROBLOX |
Hello! Pbjms here. Like every year, ROBLOX hosts a Black Friday sale. While everybody else in the world is out camping and getting killed for some televisions, you are sitting back in the comfort of your own home, waiting out on the next limited item to be made. While everybody waits it out, I'll be waiting for the new limited too, except after I buy it or ignore it, I'll write about it right here in this post. And yes, this will only be about the limiteds, because I'm pretty sure that's all that people care about - right?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over a week before the sale started, Brighteyes released a poll about what items the users wanted limited, put on-sale, and discounted, but nothing about retexture. This disappointed many people, but a retexture contest was announced a few days later on Retexture Artists Official Channel. The winners would get their items published. On the Tuesday before Black Friday, another poll was announced where users voted between a few hats as to what would go back on-sale as a discount, or just go back on-sale for the remainder of the weekend.
The sale started on Friday the 29th of November, very early in the morning, around midnight central time.
CYANIME SUPER STAR (NEW)
"How foolish..."
|
I'll give this a 8/10. It made some profit but doesn't look too good.
Win
STEAMPUNK ROBIN HOOD (NEW)
"You've just entered the territory of
Robin Hood and his Merry Men."
|
I'll give this a 9/10, because of how profitable it is, and how it is pretty cool looking.
Win
BUSINESS CAT (NEW)
"Get in my office, right meow!"
|
A few hours after the Steampunk Robin Hood hat, ROBLOX released this business spiffy cat. It was 100 R$ with 2,000 in stock. Like the Robin Hood hat, this can't really fail, unless it sells for under 100 R$, which was very unlikely. It ended up selling for a bit over the original price, making profit but not much profit. As for the looks... it's mainly just a creepy floating cat head with a collar and a tie. Aside from the awful cat pun in the description, this hat really isn't that bad.
I guess I'll give this a 8/10. It's profitable, and it looks okay, but I can do without the description. I had enough cat puns at The Witching Hour, thank you.
Meh
W'S TOP HAT (WENT LIMITED)
"The brightest top hat around. You won't find
a hat like this anywhere else."
|
Finally, the long awaited W's Top Hat went limited. After going back on sale during Bright Friday, I knew this would go limited due to the attention raised about it. Anyway, it was originally 4,500 R$, and is now limited, much to many people's disapproval. It started selling for about double the original price, making little profit, but still some profit. I'm expecting this to raise in the future, anyway, due to it's originality and bright look. It reminds me of JJ5x5's top hat, which was much more robux to start off and had more in stock, yet still barely failed. W's Top Hat will raise more, and won't fail, no matter what the raging people say.
I'm giving this a 8/10 for now, because I don't know the true potential of this top hat. Yet.
Win

Win
FLAMING HOTPHONES (WENT LIMITED)
"The headphones are hot,
but the beats are cool."
|
Shortly after W's Top Hat went limited, Flaming Hotphones followed. They were originally 250 R$ to parody the Ice Coldphones during parallel universe weekend, but are now limited. The are pretty much selling for a little over their original price, which makes absolutely no profit, and you lose money. Pretty much, they're a fail. The only plus is their red hot look, which is really nice and fitting the "flaming hotphones" theme of the hat. Anyways, besides the price fail which could easily be expected, these headphones are nice looking. Well, this isn't really a review of the headphones because they aren't new, they just went limited. So...
This gets a 5/10, just because it failed.
Fail
On the second day of the sale, we got a new Emerald Crest hat early in the morning. It was a limited, 1,000 R$ with 500 in stock. After taking a while to sell out, it started selling for just over the original price, and began failing. The profit with this item is about -200 R$. So yeah, it failed. It really doesn't look very appealing either - it looks all old and rusty, and well, ugly. To sum it up, it failed badly, doesn't look good, and well, isn't good.
FOREST EMERALD CREST (NEW)
"These emeralds were acquired in the
deepest ROBLOXian forests. Rare and
powerful, they must be safe guarded."
|
So, this gets a 5/10, due to the negative amount of profit and pretty ugly look. It could have been better, a lot better.
A lot better.
Fail
The most wonderful thing on ROBLOX. Buckets. This bucket was an old item, a very old item. How do I know it's old? The creation date? Nope. It's so old, that it was selling for tix. Yes, Tix. 7331 Tix to be exact, which is about 700 R$. It started selling for about 1,000 R$ which is about the same price as starting in tix. It lowered, it raised, it stayed the same, but it's not making any profit. And, in the ROBLOX business, that's called a fail limited.
I'm giving this an 8/10. Why so high? Well, the description pretty much made my day. Who knew ROBLOX used to be such a troll? I didn't.
Just kidding. I did.
Meh
This hat is probably one of the biggest wins in ROBLOX history. Lets have a little history lesson, shall we? Every year in December, ROBLOX releases some gifts. The gifts have a special way to get them. In 2009, there was a gift called Well Connected Gift of Linkmaster. You had to have the Ambassador badge to get it for free.It gave this hat, the Warhelm of Pwnage. Now, it's gone limited. So, of course, everybody from 2009 that got this decided to make it expensive. You'd think it would just be a few thousand robux, but no. It sold for OVER 30,000 R$. HOLY PROFIT! Plus, it looks amazing.
So, I'm giving this an 11/10, because it's like, the perfect item.
Epic Win
Other:
Besides a few disappointments, this sale was really good. We got the return of some classic items, along with some great new ones!
BUCKET (WENT LIMITED)
"I HAS A BUCKET."
|
I'm giving this an 8/10. Why so high? Well, the description pretty much made my day. Who knew ROBLOX used to be such a troll? I didn't.
Just kidding. I did.
Meh
HOODED FROSTLORD (NEW)
"He is frozen forever and ever."
|
The "big item" of the sale came out on Sunday, just like last year. The Frostlord was originally on sale for 50,000 R$ with 55 in stock. This caused MANY people to rage, and others to be humored by said rage. The ragers expected it to be cheap and rare, but if you take a look at the previous Hooded Spacelord, I don't see why people would expect this to be cheap. Anyways, it sold out eventually and began to fail, which didn't really surprise anybody. It sold for about 70,000 R$, which gives no profit at all. On the bright side, we have the appearance of the item! Just kidding. It's awful, it's terribly ugly. It looks like somebody took the original Spacelord and threw it into a freezer overnight. (No offense Errorless)
So, I'm giving this a 3/10, the lowest score so far this sale. Why? This hat is awful.
No. Just no.
BLACK IRON WARHELM OF PWNAGE (WENT LIMITED)
"Sometimes ambassadors
need to get medieval."
|
So, I'm giving this an 11/10, because it's like, the perfect item.
Epic Win
NAVAL BRIGADE (WENT LIMITED)
"Ship to shore, they're your
men for sure!"
|
Naval Brigade was made a few months ago, and originally sold for 70 R$. I don't know why, but the polls spoke, and this went limited. It was selling for about 5x the price, which made a lot of profit. It's pretty ugly, also.. Who would want to wear this thing on their head? It's like, a deformed sailor cap. Anyways, it profited, so that's all that really matters.
In the end, I'm giving this a 8/10. It profited nicely, although it looks terribly ugly. Oh well, polls will be polls.
Win
Other:
These are some other items that were effected during the sale that I think should be mentioned in this post.
- Frenemy, an old, classic hat, went on sale for 500 R$.
- Flame Vision Goggles were sold at 50% off, though originally stayed at 5,000 R$, yet saying in the description it was on sale, taking a few minutes to eventually be fixed.
- Bluesteel Antlers went on sale for 20,000 R$ on a 30 minute timer, causing much rage and shock on the forums. Of course, I bought it. Why? ...Why not? Stay tuned to my next post to find out!
- Superhero, the already cheap package, was randomly discounted by 66%. Why?
- Blackvalk, the outrageously ugly and overpriced hat that I can only refer to as a "thing" was put on sale for 25% off. Wow! 750,000 Tix is a lot better than one million!
- Brilliant Bombastique went on sale for 100 R$ for only 15 minutes!
- Silverthorn Antlers went back on sale for 400 R$ like last year, officially ruining them even more.
- Tentacles Junior, another squid hat, went on sale for the cheap price of 909 R$.
- On the last day of the sale, the first Christmas Gift was released, the Well Outfitted Gift of Style.
Besides a few disappointments, this sale was really good. We got the return of some classic items, along with some great new ones!

The Black Friday User Retextures Revealed!
With Black Friday literally right around the corner (tomorrow morning) it's safe to say most ROBLOXians are saving up their hard earned Robux in order to buy discounted virtual hats, gear and packages over the weekend sale. The most anticipated of all items in the sale are of course the user-retextures that make an appearance every year. This year however, the user-made retexture section of the poll was nowhere to be seen. Instead, BrightEyes hosted a mini-competition in the Retexture Arists Official Channel group in which the best retexture designers on ROBLOX are part of. Previous years, retexturers relied on publicity in the polls to get their item published on Black Friday. The system rewarded those with the most tickets to spend on advertising and did not lend itself to higher quality user-content. This year there's a difference - it's not about who spends the most money; its about who can produce the best design in a time-period.
I believe this higher quality of user-content is already displayed by the winners of the Black Friday retexture contest, and showcase some of the best designs ROBLOX artists have to offer. So without further ado, let us list the four user-retextured items:
The Korblox Keeper - By godsend

Sporting an excellently detailed texture, the Korblox Keeper is a shining example of what the best ROBLOXian retexturers can achieve with a little bit of time. The stained-glass-almost effect on the main body of the helmet and the horns really adds the overall design. The shading within these parts and the gradual gradient look fantastic alongside the eerie, ice-cold colour scheme. The blue piercing eyes paired with the lighting effects and shine on the front armour piece make a great final addition to godsend's retexture. My prediction is that this item will be limited for a starting price of R$500 and will have one thousand unique owners.

King's Knight - By DarkGenex
Boasting a royal colour scheme of red and light yellow, this retextured helm brings a completely different look to the mesh of that hat compared to the original Alar Knight. The darker areas on the main faceguard part of the helm add extra depth to the design, bringing about realism and excellent aesthetics. The battle-worn effect on the metallic wings adds to the medieval/fantasy aura of the King's Knight making it look authentic on a ROBLOXian's battle-scarred head. The use of this texture on the plume is an interesting choice too. My prediction is that it will be non-limited, between 750R$ and 1000R$.

My prediction is that this item will be limited for a starting price of R$500 and will have one thousand unique owners.
Assassin of the Cold Abyss - By Errorless

My personal favourite out of the four user-made retextures this year, the Assassin of the Cold Abyss features an excellent texture, colour scheme and great use of the original mesh. There is of course, some history tied to this hat. If you cast your mind back to April 1st 2012, you may remember the Hooded Spacelord - one of the renowned 'hacked items' that was sold in a ridiculously small quantity (55) for its price of R$21. The hat's shape and design has become fairly prestigious over the past two-years with this retexture set to reignite the ROBLOXians' interest in the hood. What separates this from the original hat so much is the use of the realistic metal shading and worn effect place on the front breathing apparatus of the mask - it looks fantastic. My prediction is that the item will be limited for a starting price of R$10,000 with between 100-200 in stock.

Plaid Mustache Bandanna - By Mickmack

Bringing a less 'serious' looking hat to the table is mickymack who has managed to contact a solid looking design to amuse ROBLOXians. It features an authentic plaid texture and a large thick moustache in front of where the ROBLOXians mouth would be. It sort-of reminds me of cartoons where characters facial features sometimes look like they have been imprinted onto the headgear they are wearing. My prediction is that it will be non-limited and will be priced at R$150 like the other bandannas in the 'series'.
There are of course, plenty of other awesome items to be released in the Black Friday sale - including a number of other (non-user made?) retextures. I won't be revealing those, so I don't spoil the fun! Check the catalog regularly!

Black Friday Hat Review: Bluesteel Fedora!
Hey guys, guess who?
Dark! I haven’t posted in ages guys, and I’m really sorry. I would just like
everyone to know this 1/3 of the posts I will be doing today, I hope you guys
enjoy these posts! Today I’m going to be review the Black Friday 2012 win item:
Bluesteel Fedora.
Mesh: This fedora is like any sparkle time fedora, it has
the same mesh and the texture is just a recolor. The mesh a is great, I think everyone knows
what the Sparkle Time Fedora mesh looks like because it’s one of the most well known
mesh’s on Roblox. Personally I love this
mesh, I think most people on ROBLOX like
this mesh too. I give the mesh a 10/10!
Texture: Like all other ROBLOX Sparkle Time Fedora’s, this
one has like 30 little parts to it. There are the little dots and sections with
lighting effects on them with a black background, it must be very difficult to
properly retexture. This hat goes well with any pair of glasses or headphones especially
the Clockwork's series, and deserves a 10/10.
Pricing: Bluesteel
Fedora hit the catalog 2 weeks ago, on Black Friday 2012. It was this Black
Friday’s big win limited. It sold for 10k with 150 in stock, if it had 100 and
sparkles it would be selling for 100k+ now but due to no sparkles and non “sparkle
time” in the name, it’s not worth that much. Once it sold out it sold for 104k
MAX now it sells for 60k on regular basis.
Overall 9/10
Overall 10/10!
Fun Fact: Bluesteel Fedora sold out in 51 seconds.
Another Fun Fact: Aludro created the bluesteel fedora.
Thanks for reading, and be sure to follow me on twitter! @Darkfish900

ROBLOX Black Friday Gear Review: R-Orb
GEAR REVIEW: R-ORB
Hey guys, Ulquiorra98 here, coming to you with a brand-new gear review! Today we'll be taking a look at the R-Orb, one of the gear items released on Black Friday this year. So, without further ado, let's get down to the review:
Abilities/Effects: This super-charged orb can be used in two different ways. You can either A) release a flurry of relatively low-powered orbs upon your enemy (5 hits to a KO), with a reloading time of approximately 1 second per orb, or B) charge up and direct a full-on blast of energy at your opponent, guaranteed to wipe out most, if not all, of his health. However, this ability takes around 10 seconds to get a 1hit/KO. The gear's effects definitely resemble a move of one particular anime character from a show that rhymes with Ragonball T. Now, I wonder who that could be... 9/10.
Appearance: Once equipped, the orb removes any hats you have on, and leaves you with blond, spiky, anime-styled hair, which I find rather cool. Again, this hair does look vaguely familiar...
The orb itself is orange and partially transparent, with the ROBLOX Logo stamped across the surface of it. I find it simple, yet nice. I think it deserves a 9/10.
Pricing: This gear item hit the Catalog on Black Friday at a price of R$650, which is definitely reasonable for an item such as itself. However, after the weekend was up, the Orb returned to its originally scheduled price of R$1,000. I find that to be a bit too much, and though I like the gear, I wouldn't want to spend a whole 1K on it. 6/10.
Overall: 8/10.

Black Friday Gear Review: Spec Omega Biograph Energy Sword
Spec Omega Biograph Energy Sword
Hello readers, chubbs21 here, and welcome to another Black Friday 2012 Review! Today I am reviewing the brand new energy sword, Spec Omega Biograph Energy Sword!
Limited Stats:
Original Price: 5,000 robux
Sold: 400
Average Price: 7,000 robux (as of 11/24/12)
Mesh: 5/10
The mesh is the exact same mesh ROBLOX has been using for all the Energy Swords. It's pretty basic and could defiantly use some work, as the texture is hardly seen. It is just a few lines on a handle really. Not that great.
Texture: 8/10
The texture, if you look closely in-game, it does have some detail. It looks like some black metal, kind of like Black Iron. It is hard to see because the mesh is so skinny, but is what it is, a black Energy Sword.
Money Value: 8/10
The original price was 5,000 robux, and selling for 7,000. This means you lose about 100 robux. But don't worry, people are only selling low for "Black Sunday" this year. Around Christmas season you should profit.

Overall: 7/10
This gear has a skinny and weird mesh, a good texture, and should later have great profit. I recommend if you haven't, buy it now and wait until it raises for good profit.

Black Friday Gear Review: Rapid Launch Blaster
Rapid Launch Blaster |
Why hello there. It's IBarrageI here with a gear review.
![]() |
| A beautiful close up of me and the gun |
Next is the interface.
All a gun like this really needs is a simple gauge on how much ammo you've got, and whether or not it has finished reloading. This gun does this well.
It gives a constant update of how many laser shots you have left, and also tells you when it's reloading. And Frankly, Simplicity is the way forward with gear.
The shots themselves are quite clearly lasers
But what I want to draw attention to is how the shots are fired.
Below is the animation of how the shots are fired.

The sheer detail that is within this is rather astonishing. The fact the shot animation is different each time makes you wonder. What other guns could come out with this much detail? I myself can't wait to see more like this.
Now to sum everything up
Looks/Detail: 10/10
This gun has all of the things that make guns awesome, such as burn marks, metal texture, the colour, it's pretty much perfect.
Ingame Use: 9.5/10
What more can I say, it's a balanced gear with awesome firing animation and interface.
On character: 8/10
This gear is a chunky one, and is slightly cut off at the end. This is a problem, but all in all, it can complete an outfit easily.
Overall rating: 9.5/10
This gear is screaming out awesomeness, and is a must buy. It is currently at a discounted price of 900 R$ for black friday weekend (Normal price 1,250 R$) So get it at the cheapest price to avoid paying an extra 350 R$ afterwards.
This has been IBarrageI, and I'm outta here...
Black Friday Hat Review: Silverthorn Antlers!
Today is Friday, 23/11/2012, and this means Black Friday!
A number of old classic items have gone back onsale, and
I decided to review the Silverthorn Antlers!
Basic Stats:
Created: 3/27/2009
Favourited: 6,582 times
Total Sold: 12,008 sold
Genre: All
Description: "Silverthorn powder is prized for it's alchemical properties. However, aquisition often proves problematic for unwary adventurers. The substance is unique to the antlers of the Silverthorn Stag, a beast of uneven temperment located only in the remote reaches of the forest of Arden.
"
"
Mesh: 10/10
One of the most recognised meshes in all of ROBLOX, the Antler
mesh suits any type of hat and goes brilliant with it. Including top hat,
hoods, and especially Dominii.
Texture: 8/10
It has a nice shiny texture which makes it stand out nicely, but it's
not as realistic as what real antlers should look like, but nonetheless it's
a nice take on the classic Wanwood Antlers!
Creativity: 8/10
Even though there had already been an antlers realesed, this one
didn't fall flat on it's face as a really bad retexture. Kudos to ROBLOX
on this one.
Price: 9/10
At this Black Friday sale, it is for sale at an amazing price of 400R$!
Before it went onsale incase it went limited, people were offering over 10,000R$
for this! Now you can snag it up for only 400R$!
Overall: 8.75/10
I think this hat is an absolute steal, if you have enough for it, you will have no
regrets after buying it, the price it is at is crazy.

How to Get An iPad Tablet Gear / Black Friday Items
| Roblox Tablet |
It's also almost Black Friday! These tips will also help with you getting the latest limiteds!
Here's some facts I've found about the iPads:
- At least 10 are being made
- They come out at odd timezones for PST. (For example 4 AM) Other time zones are at 7 AM.
- The first 10 raise in intervals of 10k
- They get botted
- You are given an iPad 3 (Retina Display) if you get one
- [LMaD] It was heard that Roblox is mainly giving it to users who make games.
Here are some tips on how to get it:
- Do NOT use the TC:
- Get The Google Chrome Hat Notifier:
- Bookmarking Pages:
This is one of my personal secrets. If you have Google Chrome you can easily see bookmarked pages. Have a page for Roblox's Profile, Catalog, and Let's Make a Deal. Refreshing these 3 pages will alert you if a tablet is out.
- Have About 10k Robux Handy
- Do Not Rest
Both the iPads and Black Friday will have items coming out at random times. For the iPads most have came out at midnight or very early in the morning. Black Friday items will come out from 12:00 AM-12:00 PM for the most part
I hope you get the most bang from your buck! If you have any questions or want more information you can pm me here. @jirachidog

Black Friday Survey Estimation!
Well, the other day when I was bored I thought... Hmmmm, it would be kinda cool to guess what we would get in this survey, so I asked arbirator, we both made a few decisions for things that could possibly be in it so then I published it! For those people who read my last review, I told you I would have a little surprise! Just leave your vote on what you think will come out or be in the survey, I'll post the results when ROBLOX's real survey is posted. I will also have a few links to hats if you don't know what they are. Enjoy!
