What Happened to Roblox's Book Hat Series? (Item Deep Dives)
Ойындар
If you're a very old Roblox player, you may remember Roblox's book hat series as an extensive lineup of book-shaped hats loved by the rich and poor alike. Nowadays, however, for most purposes except nostalgia-related ones, these hats are rarely worn. How did these hats rise to such importance in the first place, and what is the state of the series today? Let's find out.

Fun fact, I am xXC0NTESTXx :) The darkseed book sales were rolled back shortly after the 1 tix bug, I remember cause I was super salty when people could get the hat I “worked so hard for” for only 1 tix… to be fair I tried so hard so many times on those contests to get the top prize, so finally winning one of the last ones made me super happy! 🎉 Still makes me laugh to this day to think I got a crazy rare item from free models 😂😂

The reason most of the summer contest submissions were made of "free models" is because some roblox contests had templates you had to use to enter the contest

I completely agree with you but also they were still kind of small back then
Thank you so much for acknowledging books. As a wearer, I thought nobody besides me and my 2 friends would wear one, so thank you very much.

The books are my favorite hats. You’re a person of culture.
I still wear these hats today and I actually have all the books except the recess book and also, great vid

Thanks! That's quite the collection
Good video. One small minor little detail I thought I’d point out is that when an item has a “-“ for its value on Rolimons, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any value, it just means Rolimons hasn’t assigned it a value. In those cases, it’s value would be its RAP.
This video is so well made its ridiculous you dont have more attention.

Was waiting for the Cheezburger hat, I have owned it three separate times and it's gotta be my favorite. Awesome video!
I am very sad seeing roblox not treating its community the same way anymore now it feels like any generic company (imp).
Thanks for your videos on old roblox. I joined roblox in 2010 at the ripe age of 6 and I was basically unable to understand anything that was going on on the site other than lolcatz and what i saw of 2007 videos on youtube. Thanks for giving insight on what it was really like because otherwise i wouldn't have any idea
Thanks for doing this vid.i just remember the old days
This is a really good video it made me want to watch more it really has that catch on veiwers that u need so thank you
I've been playing since 07 and the book hats are my absolute favorite! I have made soo many retextures of the book mesh
Oh God! I remember contest! You just Full on brought on nostalgia! I remember doing some of them and those beach free models brought back alot of memories! I even (shamefully), used them! But unfortunately couldn't get the Darkseeed book! But did get the Math, and N00bs book! 📚
Books are on my favorite series, such a shame that my favorite ones are offsale
I like the books it gives me nostalgia from all the bookshelf’s I saw while playing bloxburg obbys tycoons hide and seek extreme ect
This should go viral, im really interested with this video, only 4k Subs and 12k Views?? Keep up the work!!
another nice video by Nitrolord! Good job and keep up the hard work!
One year and only 5.4k views for this amazing quality of a video you need some more subs hope you go viral someday
This is a really high quality video. You deserve more recognition for these videos. Just keep on grinding and you'll eventually hit the algorithm.

phenomenal video, seriously.
For those who were wondering, on 9:16 or 9:17, it's The Lord's Prayer, but modified to LULCAT language (or smth idk) I think.
my favorite ugc is the "Stolen Grey Baseball Cap" it looks cool and a little sticker on it "Property of Telamon" got more codes but they're kinda boring also got the valkyrie sword, but they need to fix it
As someone who was non-BC back in 2010: Entering building contests was the only way to get another place slot for free

A game named Ressurections (a cod zombies based game) Made a map called roots of corruption And it was the old haunted mansion map just revamped and HD and the way you get pack a punch is by finding 13 lore books With a pumkins face on it, I guess this is what it was refering to
Brooooo, I was 14 days old when this all started wtff thats sick
New sub from me, lov the video :)
underrrated channel bro
I've been binging these vids
I wish they made cool hats like this still
i remember when my dream item was the necrobloxicon. i actually got it once and i was so happy. good times
The book hats might actually be my favorites. For some reason so many people HATE the hats, but I think they could be the BEST classic series.
1:48 "oMg is teh moderaton for dummies real rael11!" i recognise(ish) some of the book, props for me playing first around 2014-2017
hey, could you please make deep dive on wizard robes? im just really interested about their story, who made the, when. Gonna be really happy if you make this video.
As an og, I miss the books. I used to be one too :(
Epic video! Also what is the background game called if you don't mind?

wow book hats are very cool hat accessories, i wish roblox made more that you could get today
12:29 calling the heat box "Helios One" is genius. Hats off to that kid lmao
i think 15:51 is reference from A Shot In The dark by Barbara Loe Fisher and Harris L Coulter
You can haz cheezburger reminded me of a video where is said here kitty you can has cheezburger
I got the history book as my first toy code and thought it was plastic skull 💀

You missed the Book of Coded Lore, which was on sale during the Covid-19 relief event for 75 robux.
12:26 I did this in elementary school too but we made s'mores instead of toast
i miss events so much..
i didnt know schools do stuff like that my highschool have comouters just to satisfy a criteria for schools (nobody is allowed to use them) through out my elementary days we never did anything near those activities

I’m surprised they said c++ rather c Lua is very close to c so would have thought to be c than c++
