Roblox Limiteds of 2016: 181 Items, 30.4M R$ of RAP

Roblox created 181 Limiteds in 2016, and together they hold 30,386,674 Robux of combined RAP today. A Limited is an item Roblox stopped selling once a fixed number of copies had gone out, which is what lets owners resell and trade those copies afterwards. RAP, short for recent average price, is Roblox's smoothed running average of an item's whole sale history. The year's highest RAP belongs to the Sky Blue Sparkle Time Fedora, listed at 100,000 Robux on 1 September 2016 with 101 copies minted, now carrying a RAP of 5,504,176 R$.

Quick answer: Roblox's 2016 Limiteds number 181 items holding 30,386,674 Robux of combined RAP, almost exactly half of what 2015 produced, from a batch that was slightly smaller again. The 34 items minted in runs of 200 copies or fewer hold 22,547,897 R$, about 74% of the year. Ten items hold 17,856,519 R$ between them, roughly 59% of everything 2016 made, and the single biggest month was March, when the end of Tickets put four commemorative items into the catalog.

What were Roblox's 2016 Limiteds? 181 items, every one made by Roblox

Every 2016 Limited lists Roblox as its creator. Community-made Limiteds, the ones traders call UGC Limiteds, only arrived in April 2023, so the whole year sits in classic Limited territory. Roblox's marketplace documentation still states that only Roblox-created Limiteds are tradeable, so any 2016 hat you own can go into a player-to-player trade. Trading needs an active Roblox Plus subscription on both accounts.

Hats carried the year again. 70 of the 181 are hats, 31 are faces, 18 are face accessories, 17 are neck accessories, 14 are gear (the old equippable tools and weapons on the classic gear collection), and 11 are back accessories, across ten item slots in total. The bottom of the year is crowded: 90 items sit below a 10,000 R$ RAP, which puts a large slice of 2016 inside the Limiteds under 1,000 Robux collection.

Treat the 31 faces carefully. Roblox replaced its classic 2D face Limiteds with animated versions in early 2026 and face values fell hard afterwards. Both of the year's high-RAP faces now come back from Roblox's own catalog as dynamic head bundles. Read our coverage of the decline in face Limited values before you treat any 2016 face RAP as solid.

How this article dates an item

Items here are grouped by the date Roblox created the asset, which is the date traders use for a hat's year. Some 2016 creations only became tradeable much later: the Tickets items below were sold in March 2016, went off-sale with the currency, then sat as ordinary catalog relics until Roblox flipped them into tradeable Limiteds between 2022 and 2025. Our Tixapalooza write-up tells that story in full.

Why is 2016 worth half of 2015? The scarce tier got smaller

Because the very top of the year got thinner. 2016's 181 Limiteds come in just under what 2015 produced, yet the year holds 30,386,674 R$ against about 60.5 million for 2015 and about 40.3 million for 2014. Eight 2016 items clear a 1,000,000 R$ RAP. Eleven 2015 items do.

The difference is what Roblox minted at the scarce end. 2015 produced three Sparkle Time Fedoras at 100 copies apiece. 2016 produced one. The year's 21 items with 100 copies or fewer hold 10,815,389 R$, about 36% of the total, and you can watch the same tier live on the Limiteds under 100 copies collection. Widen it to 200 copies and 34 items hold 22,547,897 R$, about 74%. The other 147 items split the remaining quarter.

Volume ran the other way. 115 items minted at least 1,000 copies, 24 cleared 10,000, and 4 passed 100,000. The Tickets Tie alone minted 2,580,231 copies, which is the largest print run of any Limited in the RBX Invest catalog for that year, and its RAP sits at 737 R$ with copies listed from 700 R$.

Launch prices predicted very little. 38 of the 181 launched at 100 Robux or less, and 32 items now carry a RAP more than 100 times their launch price. It runs the other way too: Voidwrath launched at 100,000 Robux in December 2016 with only 35 copies, and its RAP today is 243,649 R$, a little over double what buyers paid.

Which 2016 Roblox Limited is worth the most? The Sky Blue Sparkle Time Fedora

The Sky Blue Sparkle Time Fedora holds the highest RAP of any 2016 item at 5,504,176 R$, about 18% of the year on its own. Roblox created it on 1 September 2016, listed it at 100,000 Robux, and minted 101 copies. Its cheapest copy on the resale market right now is 66,666,665 R$. That figure is the lowest ask, meaning the cheapest price any owner has it listed at, and on 101 copies it measures seller patience. No sale has happened there.

It was the only Sparkle Time Fedora Roblox minted that year, and the second-to-last of the classic line. The 306-copy White Sparkle Time Fedora followed in August 2017. The line's full story sits in our Sparkle Time series history, with live rankings on the Sparkle Time collection and the wider fedora collection.

The 10 most valuable Roblox Limiteds of 2016

The order below follows trader consensus on what each item actually changes hands for. Ranking the same ten by RAP puts them in a different order. Where the two disagree, the cause is almost always a thin market: an item with 120 copies and no recent sales keeps an old, low RAP while its owners quietly price much higher.

Item	Launch price	Copies	RAP	Lowest ask
Sky Blue Sparkle Time Fedora	100,000 R$	101	5,504,176 R$	66,666,665 R$
Bluesteel Bling $$ Necklace	50,000 R$	119	377,053 R$	19,500,000 R$
Black Iron King of the Night	1,000 R$	201	2,222,951 R$	10,500,000 R$
CW Ultimate: Ruby Rapture	30,000 R$	102	1,021,413 R$	6,969,696,969 R$
Duchess of the Federation	50,000 R$	60	1,574,404 R$	7,345,000 R$
Lord of the Tixeration	Tickets only	47	1,800,807 R$	11,100,000 R$
Tix Shaggy	Tickets only	51	1,677,088 R$	9,999,999,999 R$
Tixvalk	Tickets only	138	1,296,575 R$	3,250,000 R$
Green Glowing Eyes	15,000 R$	150	702,334 R$	8,499,999 R$
Interstellar Wings	25,000 R$	100	854,236 R$	4,000,000 R$

Two of those asking prices are deliberate nonsense. The Ruby Rapture's cheapest listing reads 6,969,696,969 R$ and the Tix Shaggy's reads 9,999,999,999 R$, which is how an owner parks a copy while leaving it technically listed. We cover that in Limiteds listed for billions. Treat an item with only joke listings as trade-only until a real ask appears.

Two items sit just outside the ten. The Yellow Glowing Eyes carries a higher RAP than its green sibling at 1,053,018 R$ across 150 copies, and Goldlika: Patriot is the rarest 2016 item with a real market at 21 copies, launched at 25,000 Robux with a RAP of 364,568 R$. Roblox returns no resale price for the Patriot at all, so None listed is the honest figure. Those lines have their own histories in our Goldlika series and Clockwork Ultimates write-ups.

What was the King of the Night drop? Four crowns, one day, four prices

On 23 June 2016 Roblox released four versions of the same crown at once, each at a different price and a different supply. The cheap one went out in five figures of copies and the expensive one in the low hundreds. Ten years later the gap between them has widened.

Item	Launch price	Copies	RAP	Lowest ask
Black Iron King of the Night	1,000 R$	201	2,222,951 R$	10,500,000 R$
Silver King of the Night	45 R$	10,028	427,764 R$	444,995 R$
Gold King of the Night	500 R$	1,004	363,300 R$	300,000 R$
Adurite King of the Night	100 R$	2,005	303,135 R$	335,989 R$

The Black Iron is the interesting one. 1,000 Robux was the most expensive rung of that drop and it was still cheap, and the item now carries a RAP more than 2,200 times what buyers paid. The three commoner tiers all landed in the same 300,000 to 450,000 R$ band despite supply differences of ten to one, so past a few hundred copies extra scarcity stopped being worth much. That shape repeats across Roblox's tiered releases, covered in tiered Limited drops, and the crown line has its own history in our Crowns of the Night write-up.

Why does the Bluesteel Bling $$ Necklace rank second on a 377,053 R$ RAP?

Because its RAP has gone stale while the market moved on. Roblox minted 119 copies on 26 August 2016 at 50,000 Robux, and the item sits 18th in the year by RAP. On what traders will actually pay it sits second, behind only the Sky Blue Sparkle Time Fedora. The cheapest copy listed is 19,500,000 R$, about 52 times the RAP.

RAP updates by a tenth of the gap on every sale: new RAP equals old RAP plus one tenth of the difference between the sale price and the old RAP. On an item that sells twice a year, a single high sale barely moves the number, and low ones from years ago keep sitting in the average. We unpack the mechanics in how long RAP takes to update and the general case in when a Limited's price is higher than its RAP.

The same pattern repeats across the year: the gap between RAP order and consensus order is widest where supply is thinnest, which is also where the gems are, gem being our word for a scarce high-value Limited. Valuing a 2016 item under about 200 copies, treat the RAP as a starting point and the resale floor plus recent trade history as the real answer.

What did the end of Tickets do to the 2016 catalog?

It produced the single richest month of the year. Roblox retired Tickets, its free secondary currency, in April 2016, and ran a farewell sale beforehand that put commemorative Tickets-themed items in the catalog priced in Tickets. Four of them became tradeable Limiteds, all created on 16 March 2016. The Lord of the Tixeration (47 copies), Tix Shaggy (51 copies) and Tixvalk (138 copies) hold 4,774,470 R$ between them, about 16% of the whole year from 236 copies in total. The fourth, Tix Bling, went out in 1,194 copies and carries a RAP of 22,963 R$, which shows what a thousand extra copies does to the same kind of item.

March 2016 released 25 Limiteds holding 6,408,688 R$, roughly 21% of the year in one month. Those hats command what they do because Roblox cannot reprint an item sold in a currency it deleted. Supply counts of 47 and 51 put the Tixeration and the Tix Shaggy inside rarest Limiteds territory.

Did Roblox give anything good away in 2016? The Dominus Praefectus

Yes. Roblox created the Dominus Praefectus on 22 October 2016 and gave it away free. Its own catalog description reads "Veni Vidi Vici. This item came out of the Donum Praefectus on October 24th, 2016." 1,306 copies exist, the RAP is 851,851 R$, and the cheapest listing sits at 899,999 R$.

That print run, meaning the total number of copies Roblox ever minted, makes it one of the most reachable items in a family that normally costs millions. The median classic Dominus was minted in 257 copies, and only one Dominus has a bigger run than the Praefectus, so it is a common first Dominus for collectors. The family's full history is in our Dominus series deep dive, with live prices on the Dominus collection and routes to one in how to get a Dominus.

Eleven 2016 items carry a 0 Robux launch price in our catalog, covering both genuine giveaways like the Praefectus and the Tickets items priced in a currency Roblox no longer records.

What should a collector take from 2016?

Three things. The first is where to spend attention: 2016's value is concentrated into roughly two dozen items, and nearly everything else from that year trades in the hundreds or low thousands of Robux. If you are buying 2016 for value, the year effectively ends at about 200 copies.

The second is the price you can actually transact at. Classic Limited resales take a 30% marketplace fee, so you keep 70% of the sale price: on a 1,000,000 R$ sale you receive 700,000 R$. A resale has to clear about 1.43 times your cost before you are even. Reselling also needs an active Roblox Plus subscription on the selling account. There is also a holding period, the waiting time before a newly acquired copy can be sold on: 7 days after buying a classic Limited on resale, and 2 days after receiving one in a trade. Our holding periods guide covers the detail.

The third is the faces. 31 of the year's 181 items are faces, and that category took a structural hit when Roblox migrated classic faces to animated heads. A 2016 face RAP records a market that has already changed shape.

None of this is financial advice. Prices move on thin volume, and a 2016 hat can sit unsold for months at any price you choose.

Figures in this article come from RBX Invest catalog data as of 3 November 2026 for RAP, copy counts and lowest resale prices, from Roblox's own economy and catalog endpoints for creation dates, launch prices, copy counts and current lowest resale prices, from Roblox catalog item descriptions for the Dominus Praefectus distribution date, and from Roblox's marketplace documentation for the rule on which Limiteds are tradeable.

FAQ

How many Limiteds did Roblox release in 2016?

Roblox created 181 Limiteds in 2016, all of them made by Roblox itself. Together they hold 30,386,674 Robux of combined RAP today, and the median one carries a RAP of 10,358 R$ from a print run of 1,500 copies.

What is the most valuable Roblox Limited from 2016?

The Sky Blue Sparkle Time Fedora, on both measures. It holds the year's highest RAP at 5,504,176 R$, about 18% of everything 2016 produced, and it also ranks first on trader consensus. Roblox listed it at 100,000 Robux on 1 September 2016 with 101 copies minted.

What is the rarest Roblox Limited from 2016?

Ruby Eyes: Stone Cobra, with a single copy. Roblox created it on 15 April 2016, never charged Robux for it, and Roblox's own data returns no resale price for it, so no copy is for sale. The rarest 2016 item with a real market is Goldlika: Patriot at 21 copies.

Why is 2016 worth less than 2015?

Because the scarce tier shrank. 2015 minted three 100-copy Sparkle Time Fedoras and put eleven items above a 1,000,000 R$ RAP. 2016 minted one Sparkle Time Fedora and put eight items above 1,000,000 R$, which leaves the year at 30,386,674 R$ against about 60.5 million for 2015 from a similar number of releases.

Are 2016 Roblox Limiteds tradeable?

Yes. Every 2016 Limited was created by Roblox, and Roblox's marketplace documentation states that only Roblox-created Limiteds are tradeable, so all of them qualify. Trading requires an active Roblox Plus subscription on both accounts.

Which 2016 Limited had the largest print run?

The Tickets Tie, at 2,580,231 copies minted. It carries a RAP of 737 R$ today and has copies listed from 700 R$, which is the usual outcome for the huge cheap runs of that era.

Can you still get a Dominus Praefectus?

Yes, from resellers. Roblox gave it away free in October 2016 and 1,306 copies exist, which is a large run for that family. Its RAP is 851,851 R$ and its cheapest listing sits at 899,999 R$, making it one of the cheaper routes into the Dominus family.

Why is the Bluesteel Bling $$ Necklace worth more than its RAP suggests?

Because 119 copies trade rarely, so its RAP of 377,053 R$ reflects sales from years ago. RAP moves by only a tenth of the gap on each sale, so a scarce item's average lags for years. Its cheapest listing is 19,500,000 R$, and trader consensus places it second for the year.
