Honestly, I feel quite happy about it because I would hate to have to choose between sleeping or getting freebies. Besides, I have a family xmas dinner later and it would be kinda awkward to be looking at the cell every hour for freebies...
Excellent! Very happy for you!
Buy any Debut New Release and getNikolai 9 HD Santa Bundle for FREE*
This would be a really good Christmas gift, if I hadn't bought it a few days ago...
Yes, nice for some but no incentive for those of us who already own the bundle
Maybe DAZ should have considered some other deal for people like me who already own the Nikola 9 HD Santa Bundle; but as it is I'm not much motivated to purchase anything except the Christmas freebies.
I can't really remember but wasn't the Nikolai bundle either free or super cheap last year if you bought the Horse 3 or something? I bet a good portion of Daz customers already own it.
I am very happy with the Nikolai deal.* Now that older G9 items often get good discounts, I have been been buying things I don't have in G3 & G8. I wasn't best pleased with the Minerva & Nikolai character bundles (currently) free with Premier, so I bought Minerva Christmas for < $10 a couple weeks ago and was hoping to find a good deal on the Nikolai version. And the Debut New buy-in wasn't pricy - the Sylvia skin for $4.54! That's as good as many New Daz+ prices.
Speaking of character bundles, I actually like the other items in the Sylvia 9 one - first time for eveything - not just the core figure, so I used the bundle coupon. Note - buying Sylvia's character bundle with the Premier coupon won't trigger the free Nik deal. You have to use actual money or store credit.
All this brought a big smile to my face, the moreso as (1) the "the weather outside is (slightly) frightful" = rainy & drear, & is going to stay that way and (2) our Christmas celebration with our grown kids isn't until tomorrow night.
*I do think there should be a comparable alternative offer for Nikolai owners. It would be generous & filled with tradition (Daz as well as holiday). And if Daz belatedly provides one, I will be happy for everyone who got St. Nik before I did.
This sale is AMAZING! I've been eyeing the Nikolai bundle for a while and get it for free! And Sylvia 9 is incredible herself. She's worthy of the free character bundle coupon if you have Daz Premier!
I guess the sale is good for some people. It's not for me.
Sylvia is just another white girl with no extras - Boring because I have a lot of them. The armor is spoiled by having all those crosses on it. The expressions are the same as all the other figure specific g9 expression packs. The weapons are ok, though I have a ton of weapons and the shield just has markings to go with the armor.
Nikolai is redundant as I already have Santa figures and outfits, sleighs, gifts, all of it.
I kinda regret taking the month of premier as it's not really that exciting after all. I don't really want any of the character packs on offer. So I get an outfit or two with a character I don't want or a character that's useful with outfits I don't need. I certainly won't renew the premier and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Hmmm. Santa doesn't seem to have dropped off a Gift Card discount anywhere. I guess I'll buy a decent one to see if a discount pops in later today. :-/
And let's finish up with the advent calendar that's gone right off the rails since I got my premier sub. My free thing is hair colors for an m4 hair that I don't own and paid item that's a bad deal at $2.99... oh well. Daz is still helping me save money.
More or less free presents for me today:
For free, I get Ahmunet for G8F (SKU 73141, Base Price $ 20.95) and for just $ 2.99* I could have got Exquisite Trees (SKU 85263, Base Price $ 18.95).
Tomorrow it might get interesting, as there's no DO SKU >80k product in my wishlist, which has a price that's lower than $ 20.-, which seems (!) one of the criteria to for them to end in the potential present list for newer items... I'll see tomorrow... or not...
* ignoring my punches here for dramatic effect reasons
Same. There are too many things I want to buy today. If I don’t use Store Credit to buy, it means there will be no special discount today.
I disagree 100% with your opinion on Sylvia. If you have Premier you can get her character bundle for free (I save my coupons until near the end of the month) then get the addon for a low price if you take advantage of the sale + tokens. An incredible green skin (free too if you buy the bundle) and dryad form is something very nice and looks great. I have a whole bunch of white female characters and Sylivia does have some distinct features, mostly her lips.
However, like many other products from the same PA, there are indeed similarities. So I look at the bundles these days mostly for the addon stuff and unique forms, which is something I have advocated for many times. At least she doesn't come with alternate forms that you can just morph with Genesis 9 Essentials or countless other products. Things like Tara's Succubus forms are some of the best things I've seen the store offer and I love when we get more products like that.
Also, without premier I wouldn't have my abundance of tokens, and I would need to have paid for Sylvia's character bundle, so for me, it's been benefitting me quite a bit. I hope you can find value in it! :)
Many artists Daz+ come in at around 96-99% today when you include one Debut and 8 tokens. Got myself a lot of backlog for 22c each, including among others the West Park series. Some comparatively new stuff goes for 93%, too. Today its a question of too much, not too expensive.
That's fine. We're not required to agree, and we don't. Both our opinions are valid and people can decide for themselves.
'We're not required to agree' - love that! Aptly and kindly put.
well. I used my Premier bundle coupon on Mateo yesterday. I like the Sylvia character, but not the content of either bundl, although I have add-on bundle in my cart right now and will pick up Sylvia Character Bundle when coupons renew at beginning of month.... maybe. I might just buy Sylvia today and be done with it. As far as sales go, I have 12 items in my cart with the percent off total at 96%.This includes Harlow Pro Bundle for $9.98 and Sylvia Character Bundle for $9.xx. The FREE Nikolai Bundle, which does have a couple of nice products besides the fact I do like the character as a non-santa character. He doesn't have to be Santa at all. I have the 3 punches for 40% off, 8 tokens which is 45% DO items, and my $10 DO coupon. I'm going for the gusto while I have this month Premier membership.
The images shows my current cart. I will probably remove Syvia Bundle and just buy her instead, which would also eliminate the green skin. NOTE: FIT CONTROL FOR G9 BUNDLE @ $2.77 !!!
I keep getting free textures for items I don't own, so I threw a couple of them in the cart as well.
Thank you my friend! Happy holidays and/or Merry Christmas!
From what I saw, PAs may have a couple of items with a base discount of 80 %.
As far as I was able to see:
I didn't find a link with all of them so the best ways to find them are:
If you're only looking at bundles, it's relatively fast to find all the ones concerned.
I'll plead the fifth if anyone is asking which method I followed
but if you're planning on doing the third method, get some music or a podcast or do it during a render.
With Daz Deals Pro, you can search by %Off.
I'm seeing this happening too, like there's a hidden promo running. Tried to find the pattern as well, just for funsies, but to no avail. PAs that are in it with a few items each that I found were V3Digitimes, OOT, Stonemason, Sue Yee, 3dUniverse, Birthstone. I went with a fourth method, sorting by 'trending now' and then just wading through it.
..well was tempted both Riversoft's and Sickleyield's G8F - G9F Character Converter and G8F - G9F Material Suit (needed to transfer G8 materials to G9) were deeply discounted to the point that wth just three punches and no tokens, both together cone in at under 10$. Almost considered it until I remembered I would need a number of other G9 morph and shaping content (as well as Zev0's Skin Builder) to use G9 for custom designed characters.
Was hard to pass that up but then seeing Stonemason's The Rift for 3.90$ and the entire Rococo Revival Bundle for 6.37$ (with only three punches) and in the cart those went instead.
The better compatibility between G3 and G8 just makes it so much more useful and Zev0's XTransfer lets me not only transfer base morphs but also morph resource expansions and merchant resources which saved me a boatload of zlotys not having to repurchase them.
Oh, and like that oddball uncle you thought you didn't invite over for the Holidays, the old Gateway Error is back
figured i would pop The Rift and Rococo Rival Bundle in cart and got $2.02 and 3.29.... oops, more stays in the cart
As a Daz+ member, since the introduction of the Premier plan, I've been spending much less than I used to. But these last days, I've spent quite a bit. And today I've got the feeling that that personal trend may continue. Yay!
That superuseful feature of the extension stopped working well for me few months ago (I'm a Pro subscriber BTW). After reading your message, I've tried my luck with a different browser (Microsoft Edge before, Google Chrome now, both on Windows 11 Pro) but on Google's browser, just as it happened on Edge, sorting by %off won't work fine. I've tried disabling the ad blocker extension on Chrome, just in case, but it doesn't make any difference. I'm gonna post my problem on the extension's thread now with the hope that there they can help me solve the issue, whatever it's causing it.
I use Firefox on windows 10 and haven't had trouble with the %Off sort. I hope Ati can help you in the Daz Deals thread.
Thanks. I've also just installed and set up the extension on Firefox. I am experiencing the same problem there as well, though. At the very least, I have the extension installed on three different browsers now. Now, to wait for the help in the extension's thread. :)
Well, I like Sylvia as a character enough, but the items I want are scattered across two bundles, and to buy them both, with my punches, meager 2 tokens expiring today and a $6 DO coupon would still cost me over $50, and the free Nicolai bundle isn't an incentive enough to spend that much. If the both bundles were a pro bundle instead which I could have gotten down to $30-35, I probably wouldn't have though twice and bought it already.
And with nothing interesting in the new releases section (which, if you're not getting Sylvia-related stuff, is only 4 items), I didn't even bother to check featured artists. I suppose I might have a peek for some cheap Daz+ items.
I wound up wishlisting the Sylvia stuff that interested me, taking the cheapest of what I wanted (textures for the Faye outfit) and tossing that in my cart with the Santa bundle and a few utilities I could get at decent prices... they'd maybe be a buck or two cheaper if I wait till March, but for the benefit I'll get in the meantime it's worth it (looking at you especially, Prop Minion... although I'm hoping 200+ G9 and Shape Shifter G9 can fix a couple things that look a little off with my characters that I can't seem to remedy through the standard G9 sliders). Wish I had some tokens, but c'est la vie. I'll have 3 now, so hopefully they do a New Year's thing this go-around so I have something worth spending them on. :)
