Roblox put 19 classic Limiteds into the catalog in October 2012, and every one of them is resale-only today. A Limited is an avatar item Roblox sells in a fixed number of copies and then lets players resell; a classic Limited is one Roblox made itself. Six of the 19 never went on catalog sale at all: five came out of paid gift boxes you opened on your avatar, and one came from a Roblox gift card. The month's best known item is the Dominus Vespertilio, the bat winged Dominus hidden inside a 31,000 Robux gift, now sitting on 595 copies and a RAP of 1,922,477 in RBX Invest catalog data as of October 2026. RAP is recent average price, Roblox's smoothed average of an item's entire sale history. By trader consensus the priciest member of the class is Crescendo, The Soul Stealer, a 71 copy sword whose cheapest listed copy asks 3,500,000 Robux.
Quick answer: Roblox released 19 classic Limiteds in October 2012. Crescendo, The Soul Stealer leads on what traders actually pay, with 71 copies and a 3,500,000 Robux cheapest ask, while the Dominus Vespertilio holds the highest RAP at 1,922,477 across 595 copies. The 19 items minted 88,285 copies between them.
What did Roblox release for Halloween 2012? All 19 Limiteds
Here is the full October 2012 class, ordered by consensus street value, which is what traders pay for a copy right now. On items this old that order differs from RAP order. Lowest ask means the cheapest copy a reseller currently has listed. Every number in the Copies, RAP and Lowest ask columns is live RBX Invest catalog data as of October 2026.

Two of the 19 carry no Halloween theme. The Unorthodox Pot of Gold and The Irish Guard were Irish themed hats that landed in the same month, and they are in the table because they belong to the October 2012 class by date. Everything else is pumpkins, skeletons, bats, spiders and scythes. Jack O' The Mist shows only a month in the table because it arrived through a Target gift card redemption in October 2012 with no exact catalog date documented.
You can browse the month's hats on the classic hats collection, and its three gear items on the classic gear collection.
Why did Halloween 2012 run on gift boxes?
Roblox's 2012 Halloween ran as a shop of mystery hats. You bought a wrapped gift as an avatar item, opened it, and the gift turned into whatever prize it held. The Roblox Wiki's 2012 gift accessories page documents that October's lineup, including the Gift of the Ghastly Ghostie at 150 Robux, the Gift of the Count's Coffin at 150, the Stylish Gift of Skeletons at 500 for Builders Club members, and the Gift of the Jack-O-Lantern Matryoshka at 3,000.
Most of the 2012 gift prizes stayed ordinary items. Five of them are Limiteds today: the Pumpkin Headrow from the Matryoshka gift, the Skull and Crossbones Fedora from the Stylish Gift of Skeletons, the Angry Cyclops from the Gift of the Cauldron Born, Sorcus' Chair from the Surly Gift of Sorcus II, and the Dominus Vespertilio.
The 31,000 Robux gift that held a Dominus
The Gift of Sinister Ascension went on sale on October 17, 2012 at 31,000 Robux, which was a lot of money on a 2012 account. Its description teased three possible prizes: a domino crown, a Dominus, or a flock of bats. It opened into the Dominus Vespertilio, the fifth hat in the Dominus line and the only member of that line with bat wings.
The Vespertilio went Limited on February 15, 2013, so the players who bought the gift held an unsellable hat for about four months first. Our catalog counts 595 copies and 93,607 favorites on it today, and its RAP of 1,922,477 sits just under its cheapest ask of 1,980,000. That tight gap is the sign of a healthy market: enough copies change hands that RAP keeps up with the resale floor, which is trader shorthand for the lowest ask. For the rest of the family's story, see our Dominus series history.
Which 2012 Halloween Limited is worth the most?
Crescendo, The Soul Stealer tops the class by what traders pay, even though its RAP of 521,495 sits far below the Vespertilio's. Roblox published it on October 12, 2012 as a Limited U, meaning a Limited sold from a stock Roblox caps in advance, priced at 50,000 Robux. The Roblox Wiki records the stock at 100 copies. Our catalog counts 71 copies in existence, so the sale ended short of that stock, and the cheapest copy on the market right now asks 3,500,000 Robux.
A 71 copy gear item is a gem, meaning a scarce high value Limited that rarely trades. Gems like this are exactly where RAP goes stale: when an item sells once or twice a year, the smoothing formula barely moves, so the printed RAP can sit years behind what someone would accept. Our guide on why Roblox Limited prices run higher than RAP walks through the mechanics, and the Limited vs Limited U explainer covers what that U meant.
Skeleton Lord: 64 copies and the widest gap in the class
The Skeleton Lord is the rarest item of the month. Roblox published it on October 31, 2012 at 5,000 Robux and pulled it the next day, and our catalog counts 64 copies. Its RAP reads 82,231. Its cheapest listed copy asks 3,800,000, the highest ask of any item in this class.
That 46x gap between RAP and floor is the most extreme example in the group, and it comes from the same cause as Crescendo's: almost no sales. Anyone valuing a 2012 Halloween portfolio off RAP alone would price the Skeleton Lord at roughly 2% of what holders believe it is worth. You can see how other tiny print items behave on the under 100 copies collection and in our skeleton Limiteds roundup.
Which October 2012 items only became Limiteds later?
Only five of the 19 were capped from day one. Crescendo, the Demon Cap, the Unorthodox Pot of Gold, The Irish Guard and the Forbidden Box all launched as Limited U items with a stock number set in advance. Everything else started as an ordinary catalog item that Roblox later took offsale and converted. Offsale means Roblox stopped selling new copies while existing owners kept theirs.
Three converted within weeks of Halloween. The Pumpkin Headrow went Limited around October 31, 2012, the Skeleton Lord on November 1, and the Skull and Crossbones Fedora on November 24 as part of Roblox's Black Friday 2012 sale.
Nine took much longer:
- The Dominus Vespertilio converted on February 15, 2013.
- Sorcus' Chair converted on February 15, 2014.
- Jack O' The Mist converted on October 28, 2014.
- The Scythe Headphones converted on September 5, 2015.
- The Monster Hat, Halloween Boo Bow Beanie, Candy Corn Knit and Spiky Halloween Shades all converted during October 2022.
- The Spider Ninja Headband converted on February 21, 2023.
The conversion dates for the Halloween 2012 Top Hat and the Angry Cyclops are not documented anywhere we can verify.
Those four 2022 conversions landed within three weeks of each other, which is why hats Roblox first sold in 2012 only started building a resale history 10 years later. Our explainer on offsale Roblox items going Limited covers how that process works.
The Scythe Headphones are a good case. Roblox sold them for 350 Robux for a few days at the end of October 2012, and only Builders Club members could buy, which is the paid membership Roblox ran in that era. Our trading history from Builders Club to Roblox Plus traces how that membership requirement evolved. The headphones then sat offsale for nearly three years, and today 982 copies back a 44,599 RAP with a 50,000 floor.
What does the cheap end of the 2012 class cost?
The bottom of the table is genuinely affordable. The Irish Guard has a copy listed at 797 Robux, the Halloween Boo Bow Beanie and Candy Corn Knit sit at 1,200, and the Spiky Halloween Shades sit at 1,100 on 19,093 copies. High supply is the main reason they stay cheap.
The Candy Corn Knit has one quirk: Roblox sold it for 150 Tickets, the second currency it ran alongside Robux before retiring it. Our Tixapalooza piece covers the Tix era items. The Halloween Boo Bow Beanie has two prices: Roblox sold it for 50 Robux in October 2012, then put it back on sale in October 2017 at 25 Robux, the figure our catalog records.
To shop this price band, the cheap Limiteds under 100 Robux and Limiteds under 1,000 Robux collections rank live listings for you.
Should you buy a 2012 Halloween Limited in October?
Halloween items on Roblox have a seasonal pattern, and our October seasonality study measured classic Halloween Limiteds rising 3% to 17% from September to October over three straight years. That cuts both ways: buying into the season means paying the seasonal premium, and the cheap high supply members of this class are where that premium shows up fastest.
For the gem tier, copy counts do the work. A 64 copy or 71 copy item will not reprice because of a holiday; it reprices when one of a handful of holders decides to sell. If you are tracking that, the items leaderboard screens every classic Limited by RAP, copies and floor, and the Deals feed flags listings posted below RAP, though you need to be signed in to use it. Nothing here is financial advice, and a thin market can take months to give you a fill at the price you want.

FAQ
What was the most valuable Roblox Halloween 2012 Limited?
Crescendo, The Soul Stealer is the most valuable by what traders pay, with 71 copies and a cheapest listed copy at 3,500,000 Robux. By RAP the Dominus Vespertilio leads at 1,922,477, and the Skeleton Lord carries the single highest asking price in the class at 3,800,000 Robux on 64 copies.
How many Limiteds did Roblox release in October 2012?
Roblox put 19 classic Limiteds into the catalog in October 2012. They hold 88,285 copies between them, ranging from the Skeleton Lord's 64 copies up to 21,235 copies of the Halloween Boo Bow Beanie.
How did players get the Dominus Vespertilio?
Players bought the Gift of Sinister Ascension for 31,000 Robux on October 17, 2012, and opening the gift revealed the Dominus Vespertilio. The hat itself became a Limited on February 15, 2013, so buyers held it for about four months before they could resell it.
Why is the Skeleton Lord's RAP so much lower than its price?
The Skeleton Lord almost never sells, and RAP only moves when a sale happens. With 64 copies in existence, its RAP of 82,231 reflects old sales while its cheapest current listing asks 3,800,000 Robux. On items this thin, the asking price tracks what holders believe far better than RAP does.
Can you still buy 2012 Halloween Limiteds?
Yes. All 19 items have copies listed by resellers, so you buy them from those resellers on the item's Roblox page. Roblox stopped selling new copies years ago. Prices run from 797 Robux for The Irish Guard up to millions for the Skeleton Lord and Crescendo.
Which 2012 Halloween Limited is cheapest?
The Irish Guard is cheapest, with a copy listed at 797 Robux against a RAP of 846. The Halloween Boo Bow Beanie and Candy Corn Knit both have copies at 1,200 Robux, and the Spiky Halloween Shades sit at 1,100.
Did all the October 2012 items become Limiteds right away?
No. Five of the 19 launched as Limited U items with a capped stock, and three more converted within weeks of Halloween 2012. Nine converted much later, between February 2013 and February 2023, including four that converted during October 2022, a decade after Roblox first sold them.
Was Kilty McJig's 8-Bit Fedora a Halloween 2012 item?
No. Its asset was created in late October 2012, which puts it next to the Halloween class by ID, and Roblox handed it out in March 2013 to owners of Brighteyes' Treasure Chest. That release date places it outside the October 2012 group.
