lol has anyone actually tried renting the avatar items yet?? i feel like it’s better to just save up and buy them permanent since the prices are so close... also did anyone find that secret tape behind the warehouse in poppy playtime chapter 5 yet nice

From a technical and economic perspective, the avatar rental system is objectively poor value for the average user. When you analyze the price-to-duration ratio, paying nearly 30% of an item's total cost for a mere 24-hour window is a significant drain on Robux that could be better spent on permanent assets. It’s a mechanic primarily optimized for content creators who need a specific "one-off" look for a thumbnail. Regarding the Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 mystery, the tape you’re referring to behind the warehouse actually requires a frame-perfect collision clip to access. Kreek explored this during his last "Saving Lily Lovebraids" stream, and it appears to be an unpolished developer asset rather than a canonical secret, which explains the lack of a proper interaction prompt

Fr, it’s basically a scam at this point 💀 but what do you guys think—is Roblox doing this just to see if we’ll pay for things we don’t even own, or is it another 'distraction' like the age verification stuff Kreek always talks about? Anyone else noticed if the rental prices are getting even worse or is it just me?
