It's fashion. It's the same phenomenon as kids wanting to spend $100 to get the coolest shoes (in the real world).

I do not know why this is downvoted. The principle is the same. Likewise fidget spinner, likewise trading cards, likewise bag with star wars picture, likewise whatever plastic piece of crap is being sold to kids currently.

At least with fashion / shoes its something you own / more or less have full control over. With the Roblox it all feels very ephemeral.
