The Vlad the Impaler series is a line of ten Roblox vampire hats published between 2009 and 2018, and only two of them ever became Limiteds. A Limited is an item with a fixed number of copies, so players buy it from each other on the resale market. Vlad the Impaler, IV has 122 copies and a RAP of 85,222 Robux. Vlad the Impaler, V has 509 copies and a RAP of 31,163 Robux. The other eight Vlads came out of Halloween gift boxes or plain catalog sales, so they sit in inventories with no resale market at all.
Quick answer: Ten Vlad hats exist, numbered IV through XIII. Two are tradeable Limiteds, one related back accessory (Immortal Sword: Vlad's Lament) is also a Limited, and the newest Vlad is still sold by Roblox for 295 Robux.

What is the Vlad the Impaler series? Ten Roblox vampire hats from 2009 to 2018
Every Vlad is the same joke retold: a cartoon vampire head you wear like a helmet, released around Halloween, numbered like a movie sequel. Roblox published the first one in August 2009 and the last one in October 2018, then stopped. Nothing has been added since, so collectors treat the line as finished.
The numbering is the first oddity. The series opens at IV. Roblox never published a Vlad I, II or III, and the Roblox Wiki's series page lists the family as IV through XIII with nothing before it. Why the count starts at four is community lore, so treat any explanation you read as a guess. The catalog record simply begins with IV.
If you want to see where these sit next to every other classic hat, the classic hats collection ranks the whole category live.
Why are only two Vlad hats Limiteds? The rest came out of gift boxes
Through the early and mid 2010s Roblox ran Halloween gift events known as BLOXtober, handing out free gift boxes that players opened for a hat. Vlad VI through XI all arrived that way, and free gift hats were never converted into Limiteds. They stay in whichever inventory opened the box, with no copies for sale and no resale price. The same pattern shows up across Roblox's whole gift era, which the mystery gift box history covers in more detail.
Vlad IV and Vlad V went a different route. Both were sold for Robux in the catalog, both went offsale (meaning Roblox stopped selling new copies, so supply froze), and both were converted to Limited status on Halloween 2015 according to the Roblox Wiki. That conversion is what gave them a resale market.
Vlad the Impaler, IV: 122 copies and the highest RAP in the family
Roblox published Vlad the Impaler, IV on August 24, 2009 and sold it for 400 Robux until it went offsale around October 2010. It sat in inventories for five more years before becoming a Limited.
RBX Invest's catalog tracks 122 copies today, with a RAP of 85,222 Robux. RAP, short for recent average price, is a smoothed average of an item's entire sale history: every sale nudges it a little toward the new price. That makes it slow and steady, and on an item that trades a few times a year it can sit well behind what buyers are actually paying.
Vlad IV is one of those items. Its lowest ask, the cheapest price any holder has actually listed a copy at, is 115,623,123 Robux. Nobody is paying that. It is a holder parking a copy at an absurd number so it never sells, which happens constantly on thin markets and makes the real resale floor invisible. Listings like that are close cousins of projected items, where a copy is deliberately bought and relisted high to drag RAP up; we broke that behavior down in the guide to Limiteds listed for billions. Trader consensus on Vlad IV's street value sits far above its RAP, which is normal for a gem: a scarce, high-value Limited whose few sales leave RAP stale and low.
With 122 copies, Vlad IV belongs in the same scarcity band as the rest of the Limiteds under 1,000 copies collection. The Roblox Wiki also notes a hoard of copies lost to a terminated account, community-documented and unconfirmed by Roblox, which would put the number of copies a buyer can realistically reach below the 122 the catalog counts.
Vlad the Impaler, V: 509 copies and the one that actually trades
Vlad the Impaler, V was published on July 9, 2010 at 160 Robux, the lowest launch price of any Vlad with a recorded price, and the only one published in July. It converted to Limited on the same Halloween 2015 date as Vlad IV.
There are 509 copies, RAP is 31,163 Robux, and the lowest ask is 40,000 Robux. That gap between RAP and ask is the useful part. Four times the copies means several holders compete on price, so the cheapest listing is a real number someone could hit today. If you want a Vlad in your inventory and you care about actually completing the purchase, this is the one that is for sale.
Immortal Sword: Vlad's Lament: the 10,000 Robux sword that went Limited in 2022
Vlad's Lament is a back accessory that carries the Vlad name, and it shipped during the same 2017 Halloween window as Vlad XII. Roblox sold it on September 30, 2017 for 10,000 Robux on a four-day timer, then converted it to a Limited on May 29, 2022.
It now has 1,284 copies, a RAP of 56,336 Robux and a lowest ask of 59,999 Robux. Anyone who paid the original 10,000 Robux and held is sitting on a large gain on paper, though the 30% marketplace fee eats into that on the way out. As a member of the Immortal Sword line it belongs to a bigger story, told in the Immortal Sword series history.
Which Vlad hats are not Limiteds? Eight gift and catalog releases
None of the hats below are tracked as Limiteds, so they carry no copies count, no RAP and no resale price on RBX Invest. They are still worth knowing, because they are most of the family.
| Hat | Released | How players got it |
|---|---|---|
| Vlad the Impaler, VI | Oct 2011 | Briefly buyable, then the Gift of the Sixth Undead |
| Vlad the Impaler, VII | Oct 2012 | Gift of the Count's Coffin |
| Vlad the Impaler, VIII | Oct 2013 | Gift of Ex-fear-ience |
| Vlad the Impaler, IX | Oct 2014 | Gift of the 9th Great Power |
| Vlad the Impaler, X | Oct 2015 | Gift of the Predictable Impaler |
| Vlad the Impaler, XI | Oct 2016 | Eleventh Gift of the Undead One, the last gift Vlad |
| Vlad the Impaler, XII | Oct 2017 | Sold for 300 R$ on a ten-day timer |
| Vlad the Impaler, XIII | Oct 2018 | Still on sale, 295 R$ today |
Vlad XIII is the surprise in that list. Roblox put it up on October 1, 2018 and never took it down, so Roblox's own catalog still shows it for sale at 295 Robux. Anyone can own a Vlad for the price of a cheap accessory. The catch is that an item still being sold has unlimited supply, which is exactly why it will not behave like Vlad IV or V.
What drives Vlad prices? A tiny float and one weekend of demand a year
Three things carry this family.
Scarcity comes first. Float, meaning the copies realistically available to buy while the rest sit locked away in long-term inventories, is small on both Limiteds and tiny on Vlad IV. Fewer sellers means a single motivated buyer can move the price.
Seasonality comes second. Vampire hats get worn in October. Halloween pulls attention toward the whole horror corner of the catalog, and the same pattern shows up in the vampire and bat Limiteds history and across Roblox's rarest Halloween items. Demand that arrives once a year makes for quiet spring markets and jumpy autumn ones.
Age comes third. A 2009 hat that has come through fifteen years of trading carries a story, and stories are most of what classic Roblox collectors pay for.
How do you buy or sell a Vlad Limited? Roblox Plus, a 30% fee and a holding period
Trading and reselling both need an active Roblox Plus subscription, which costs $4.99 per month and launched on April 30, 2026. For a trade, both sides need it. For a resale, only the seller needs it, and the buyer of your copy does not need a subscription at all.
The fee math on a classic Roblox-made Limited is simple. Roblox takes 30% of the sale and you keep 70%. Sell a Vlad V at 40,000 Robux and 28,000 Robux comes back to you. To break even after fees you need to sell for about 1.43 times what you paid, so a copy bought at 30,000 Robux has to clear roughly 43,000 Robux before you are ahead.
Holding periods slow everything down. Buy a classic Limited from a reseller and you wait 7 days before you can list it again. Receive one in a player-to-player trade and you wait 2 days. Roblox's marketplace documentation also confirms that only Roblox-created Limiteds are tradeable at all, which is why no UGC (community-made) vampire hat can ever be swapped for your Vlad.
None of this is financial advice. Limiteds can fall as easily as they rise, and a thin market means you might wait months for a buyer.
What should a collector do with the Vlad line? Start with Vlad V
Vlad V is the practical entry point: a real listed price, enough copies that the market functions, and the same 2015 Limited conversion story as its more expensive sibling. Vlad IV is the trophy, and buying it means negotiating directly with a holder. Vlad's Lament is the one with genuine depth, since 1,284 copies produce enough sales to make its RAP worth reading.
If you already own any of them, the thing worth watching is October. Attention on this family concentrates into a few weeks, and thin markets move furthest when a handful of buyers show up at once. You can track live prices and reseller activity for each copy on its item page, and compare them against the rest of the classic market on the items leaderboard.
Copies, RAP and lowest resale prices come from RBX Invest catalog data cross-checked against Roblox's item details API on September 20, 2026; release dates, gift names and Limited conversion dates come from the Roblox Wiki's Vlad the Impaler pages; resale splits and holding periods come from Roblox's marketplace documentation and RBX Invest's fee reference.
FAQ
How many Vlad the Impaler hats are there on Roblox?
Ten, numbered IV through XIII. Roblox published the first in August 2009 and the last in October 2018, and no Vlad hat has been released since. There is no Vlad I, II or III.
Which Vlad hats are Limiteds?
Only Vlad the Impaler, IV and Vlad the Impaler, V. Both were sold for Robux, went offsale, and were converted to Limited status on Halloween 2015. A related back accessory, Immortal Sword: Vlad's Lament, is also a Limited and went limited on May 29, 2022.
How much is Vlad the Impaler, IV worth?
Its RAP is 85,222 Robux as of September 20, 2026, across 122 copies. The cheapest listing sits at 115,623,123 Robux, which is a holder blocking a sale at a number nobody pays, so the genuine trading value is negotiated between collectors and sits above the RAP figure.
Can you still buy a Vlad hat from Roblox?
Yes. Vlad the Impaler, XIII has been on sale since October 1, 2018 and Roblox's catalog lists it at 295 Robux today. Because it is still being sold, its supply keeps growing and it does not trade like the two Limiteds.
Why do most Vlad hats have no RAP?
Because they came out of free Halloween gift boxes during Roblox's BLOXtober events. Gift hats were never converted to Limiteds, so they cannot be bought, sold or traded, and items with no sales have no recent average price.
What does it cost to resell a Vlad Limited?
Roblox takes a 30% marketplace fee on a classic Limited resale, leaving you 70% of the sale price. A 40,000 Robux sale returns 28,000 Robux, and you need to sell for roughly 1.43 times your purchase price to break even. Reselling also requires an active Roblox Plus subscription on the seller's account.
How long do I have to wait before reselling a Vlad I just bought?
Seven days if you bought it from a reseller on the Marketplace, and two days if you received it in a player-to-player trade. Those holding periods apply to classic Roblox-created Limiteds like Vlad IV and Vlad V.
Are Vlad hats a good buy for a collection?
They are scarce, old and tied to a season, which is the profile most classic collectors look for, but they trade rarely and the cheapest listing is not always a real offer. Vlad V is the accessible one, Vlad IV is the trophy piece, and neither should be bought with money you need back quickly. This is not financial advice.
