I understand if Roblox wants to hold off on making their off-sale catalog limited for now (due to the focus on UGC items at the moment), but I’d love to see this come back someday. It was very exciting being able to finally look forward to new limiteds for the trading community, and it was nice because owners of these items can finally release their copies to anyone who wishes to buy or trade for them.
Off-sales do hold historical value, since it’s a sort of ‘you had to be there’ idea, so I agree some very special items shouldn’t ever be made limited, but most of the community enjoyed these items going limited like Bighead. Why not BiggerHead? Having these items off-sale further increases the demand to create rip-offs of these items since there’s no way to get them yourself anymore since Roblox no longer hosts sales, so off-sales are practically left to die.
Rant about Eggs
Roblox had a very diverse way of making items limited. Some were highly demanded, many were rares & semi-rares, and long forgotten items that finally had more light shined on them. Included in these was turning old eggs from Roblox’s official egg hunts into limiteds. You can no longer hop into the games yourself and collect the eggs, but with them making them limited, it became possible to collect eggs from our favorite egg hunts and events!
This is especially important to me since I’ve participated in egg hunts since 2013, and I had an old account that got banned, and I lost my egg collection of a few years, including ones I loved a lot. Roblox put many of these on-sale, including the rarest eggs like Agate, Arborist, and Hivemind, and the demand for them was shown with their impressive 50K-500K sales on the first day.
Unfortunately, when Roblox stopped making items limited, this included eggs. There are several years still missing, including items such as Hatched Eggs & Studio Eggs from 2013, all of the Eggvertisements, Egg of Destiny from 2014, and the Stooge Egg from 2012. There was surprisingly a lot of hype around Egg of Destiny for an egg considering its sparkles.
Please support my egg collecting addiction.
