The Black Market Dealer update hits Steal An Egg this weekend, and it might be the strangest drop yet. It goes live on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 10 AM ET (15:00 UTC), and the official event listing stays open until Monday, November 16 at 12 PM ET. The update introduces Slick Rick, a shady dealer whose stock is a total mystery — and who only shows up when he feels like it. I’ve pulled his exact start times for every region, the end date, every credible leak, and the exact steps I’m taking to catch him before he slips away.

Who Is Slick Rick in Steal An Egg?
The official tease says it all: “Slick Rick is coming to town… Nobody knows where he came from, what he’s selling, or what he’s really up to.” The reveal art shows a suited dealer clutching a glowing briefcase, and the announcement deliberately hides his inventory behind that smirk.
That last line matters more than you’d think: “Slick Rick comes and goes whenever he pleases. You never know when he’ll show up, or how long he’ll stick around.”
Unlike the Alien Biome or the Halloween Dimension — permanent areas that stick around until the next patch — Slick Rick is a traveling merchant. My expectation, based on how similar Roblox games run their limited merchants: he appears somewhere on the map for a short visit, sells whatever he’s carrying, then vanishes without warning. The two-day event window is the shop’s lease, not his work schedule, so a Sunday-evening login offers no guarantee of finding him.
Black Market Dealer Release Times for Every Region
One crucial note before the tables: this update starts one hour earlier than usual. The devs moved this weekend’s session forward because of daylight saving changes, and guides written before that announcement still list the old time — so double-check your local clock below.
United States & Canada:
| Region | Start — Sat, November 14, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Pacific (PT) | 7:00 AM |
| Mountain (MT) | 8:00 AM |
| Central (CT) | 9:00 AM |
| Eastern (ET) | 10:00 AM |
| UTC | 15:00 |
International:
| Region | Local Start Time |
|---|---|
| United Kingdom (GMT) | 3:00 PM, November 14 |
| Central Europe (CET) | 4:00 PM, November 14 |
| Brazil (BRT) | 12:00 PM, November 14 |
| South Africa (SAST) | 5:00 PM, November 14 |
| India (IST) | 8:30 PM, November 14 |
| Singapore / Philippines / China | 11:00 PM, November 14 |
| Japan / Korea (JST / KST) | 12:00 AM, November 15 |
| Sydney (AEDT) | 2:00 AM, November 15 |
| New Zealand (NZDT) | 4:00 AM, November 15 |
When Does the Black Market Dealer Event End?
The official listing closes on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 12 PM ET — that’s 9 AM PT, 5 PM GMT, and early Tuesday morning for players in Australia and New Zealand. That gives you roughly two full days to track him down.
But treat that window as the shop being “in town,” not Rick standing at his stall the whole time. The teaser warns he comes and goes whenever he pleases, so his actual visits will be shorter and scattered across the weekend. Don’t bank on a last-hour appearance — if you want whatever he’s selling, check the map in bursts rather than planning one marathon session.
How to Catch Slick Rick When He Spawns?
Here’s my weekend plan, built on how the devs have run every previous drop:
- Set the reminder now. Open the official Black Market Dealer event card on the Steal An Egg game page and tap Notify Me — Roblox pings you the moment the event goes live.
- Log in at the start time, not after. Saturday updates open alongside the weekly Admin Abuse session — 30–60 minutes of boosted luck, cash, hatch speed, and movement. Popular servers fill fast, so join a few minutes early.
- Watch the in-game announcements. Server event messages are the fastest signal that Rick has actually arrived at his stall.
- Check back in waves. Since he leaves on his own schedule, I’m planning visits every couple of hours across Saturday and Sunday rather than one long grind.
If any announcement conflicts with this article, trust the game screen — the devs have already shifted this weekend’s timing once.
What Will Slick Rick Sell? Every Leak So Far?
Officially: nothing. The devs are keeping his entire inventory secret, which is unusual — past updates announced their rewards upfront. That silence has flooded Discord and YouTube with “confirmed” leaks, so here’s everything circulating and what it’s actually worth.
| Leak | Claim | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Black Market Crystals | New currency for Rick’s shop | Unverified |
| Mutation item | 100 Crystals | Unverified |
| Eternal Pet | 1,500 Crystals | Unverified |
| Divine Pet | 5,000 Crystals | Unverified |
| 5% spawn rate | Rick’s appearance chance, from claimed game files | Unverified |
| Trading system | Player-to-player trading returns | Rumor |
My honest read: none of these numbers come from official sources. The game currently has no working player trading at all, and the devs have never discussed a crystal currency in any announcement. Treat the whole table as rumor until Rick’s shop actually opens.
How to Prepare for the Black Market Dealer Update?
Rick’s stock is unknown, but your prep doesn’t have to be:
- Finish your Alien Biome goals first. The Steal An Egg Alien Biome update from November 7 added fishing milestones and pets worth banking before this weekend.
- Stop panic-spending on Friday. Save your cash and any event currency you’re holding — if crystals turn out to be real, you’ll want a buffer.
- Clear pet storage. Every update adds collectibles, and a full inventory is the classic way players waste precious minutes at launch.
- Know your pet values. My Steal An Egg tier list and mutations tier list show what’s actually worth keeping if Rick deals in mutations or high-rarity pets.
- Ignore any “Black Market Dealer code.” Steal An Egg has no code box and has never released a single code — every Slick Rick code online is fake or a scam.
The Halloween Dimension event also runs until November 24, so both events overlap this weekend. Plan your grind so the Souls farming and Rick hunting don’t fight each other.
