Trade if they are limited items and use them for your profile/ avatar.
Hopefully work on revamping all of the gears in the Roblox catalog.

Gears aren’t leaving ROBLOX. Gears will stay around for a while, due to the Bloxxys. All they are saying is that they are removing the ability for developers to sell Roblox gears on their gamepass store. You used to be able to get a substantial cut from the purchase of a gear if it was purchased using this forgotten feature. To reiterate, the forgotten feature is the one being removed.

There are many more modern ways do this exact same thing, they just don’t want clutter on the website is what I’m guessing
By “Developer Products”, do you mean things that can be purchased multiple times in-game, like amounts of cash, or do you mean single purchase items? If you mean single purchase items, then this is already covered by game passes.
I personally think this is in preparation for phasing out gears on Roblox.
Gears have become obsolete on Roblox for a number of years about now. They used to have this special quirk to them where games were able to utilize them to their advantage. It was a fantastic role gears had back when games incorporated them into their concepts.
Nowadays, 97% of games we play don’t allow gears from the catalog, and a lot of times the scripts in those gears are broken. There’s almost literally no incentive for gears other than bragging rights or just making your avatar look cool. There is nothing special about them anymore.
I wouldn’t complain if Roblox decided to remove gears, because I don’t blame them.

The vary slow death of gear… i miss year items being added and gear fights and stuff, it was fun…
This wasn’t used much anyways. A greater marketing tactic can be used in game. Totally agree with this update.
Boomboxes, however, are still very much relevant within many games.

I guess…
I’ve been seeing developers create their own custom boomboxes where it’s automatically welded to the player.
I don’t think the Tool instance will deprecated per se, but I do think that they’ll phase out the ability to buy any gears for your character from the catalog.
What are old leaderboard clans?
Bad idea, simply a bad idea.
Developer products’ purchases need to be processed through a script, say, you purchase a developer product from the store page of a game and you’re not in the game. Your player instance does not exist, therefore you will not get your item because there is no script binded to your purchases, you just wasted your ROBUX on nothing. Besides, even if you were in the game, you still wouldn’t get anything because purchases made on the website don’t send anything into the game. There is simply no point in purchasing something you’ll never get.
The only reason why gamepasses are on the store page is because you don’t need to handle the purchase, you just have to check if the player owns it or not. You cannot own developer products, they’re intended to be purchased multiple times.
Roblox, don’t do this!
They should add a PlayerPurchasedDevProductEarlier event that fires when the player joins after buying a product, so when the player joins the game next, they get what they bought. I don’t script gamepasses/dev products much, so I didn’t notice this. I still think there is a way to make it work, and if there is, I would use this feature a LOT!

Nah, more like a multiple ownership feature where if you buy a product from the store page, you can use it as many times as you bought it without paying in the game.
I still think the current system in place is much better though.
As well as segways. Most other gears that aren’t like popular (eg. The boom box, segway, or guns being the popular ones) should stay as legacy items and for admin houses, as well as be purchaseable but most of the gears (eg. Neon Nate the horse lord) should go off sale and kept for legacy purposes only
epic, I actually used this feature in my game. Now people are angry at their boomboxes disappearing
I see that this feature is removed, I can’t load my gears, in the Shop tab on the website, this category is removed.
But in mobile this category continues appearing.
No appear all gears, only the Bloxy cola. What I can do? This gear can’t load in my game and I tried to remove this gear but drops error.
The leaderboard was a feature in which you could see which player was doing the best at a game in different categories, it was associated with the old and forgotten “Player Points” system.
Finally, it has gone
I even think no one used it even once
