    I don't know whether to be amused or disappointed by the fact that over 1,000 of the items in the "Build Your Own Anniversary Bundle" (five for $2 each) already cost less than $2.

    The category points to the whole list of Daz+ items, so it's not that surprising

    Thanks DAZ for the Wishlist sale! I was actually able to get a few  of the more expensive PA items off my list. I could have spent a lot more, but I focused on the stuff that doesn't go on great sales very often.

    Same here. I took this as a good opportunity to buy some non Daz Originals that had been in my WL for quite some time. smiley

    Just seen Lycan 9 looked interesting, that is until I read that the female Lycan 9 shape is locked behind premier. So any thought of getting anything Lycan 9 has gone straight out the window.

    since G9 is unisex, you can likely dial up a female shape, just not THAT shape

    Probably, but not sure if it would work out properly or not. I think what irks me is that a few other things have been locked behind Premier, like the dark elf shape for Toon G9 no real biggie there. But to lock Anime Aiko 9 behind Premier irk me and has me wondering what will be next.

    Did Victoria 9 provide a specific male version for it? Did Michael 9 provide a specific female version for it? No, but you could super easily make the opposite gender for them by just dialing in the opposite gender shape. Later we got daz customized opposite genders for the models. With gen 9 you can put boobs and gens on any model, so I think you might be over reacting. The female shape is literally a convenience feature for premier rather than a requirement, unlike Aiko 9. I would dare say, though, you can pretty much replicate Aiko 9 via the toon essentials and some time so even that is probably more of a convenience feature too.

    These are great points.  With sliders you can easily do things like change genders and go all out with the customizing.

    However, in this case, having Lycan female is required because it's a unique model-the Lycan morph is great, but there are things that just don't work.  For example, the feet need the slider to be at or close to 100% to look right.  And, well, there isn't an individual morph for it, so you'll get the full bulky Lycan model.  M3D Claws look fantastic, but my lady werewolf isn't a bodybuilder so I'm awaiting the female to be released (I have Premier and it look like it isn't available to add to my library yet).

    I'd like to reiterate that I do not support putting anything behind the subscription paywall.  If anything, this makes it more annoying because you CAN'T easily morph Lycan to female.  I suppose you could get Phenotypes for Monsters but a full, dedicated model is always the best way to go.

    What irks me is that it is locked into the smart content, and I will not let "DAZ Content" touch my installation. I shuffle around my duf-files almost on principle.

    So while I do have Premiere, I am not willing to risk the potential bother for these. Unless it comes per download or DIM, it does not exist for me.

    When I was in the military in San Diego, California I was looking at a studio apartment just off the base about 10 miles, and it was $1800 in the mid 90's. I'd be very afraid to see what it is now. It not like we made good money in the military. We didn't even make that much in a month. You don't start making decent money till you reach the top ranks of your enlisted status. Officers start off decent, but their money goes up drastically with each increase in rank.

    Yep I remember military pay $322.00 a month early 70s 

    Yeh, but they provided food and housing; so you didn't have those major expenses. At least that is the way it was when I was in the Coast Guard in the mid 1960s. 

    Yeah, if you lived on base in the barracks. If you had a kid they would put you up in an apartment that the gov owned for military housing, but you still paid for your own food and the rest of your bills like utilities. They gave a small living allowance, but it was hardly enough to get by in California.

    You can dial in base feminine and breast morphs just fine with the Lycan 9 at 100%. Won't be quite the same, but it will work and there are anatomy textures in Lycan 9 for females.

    I don't like so many coupons to save money. It then requires multiple purchases, some which require a buyin from the same pool.

    I probably would have purchased a lot more if I was premier but my Daz+ subscription is good until late April and when I checked for my "special offer" there wasn't one. If I had purchased one month of premier at full price, would I have lost all my months of Daz+? There was no explanation and i didn't want to risk it. 

     

    Same here.  For thirteen months I had remaining on Daz+ they only offered me one month of Premier.  So....nah....

    ... well, looks like I used up all my good shopping mojo in early Sept. Midway-to-Halloween offer aside, this sale was a bust, and for the first time my $6/$18 coupon will expire.

    Nuts.

    Ah well. There's always another sale.

    Yes, I have experimented with it, but for me it's the lupine feet that make me unhappy.  It can look okay from the waist up with the breast morphs, but I don't like the full body look.  It would have been nice for them to just add the male and female to the base product.

    While not really part of the official sale I found that most 8 Pro Bundles today come at around $3.8 when stacked with 8 tokens and Debut new, and those at 7 are around $2.5, for 97-98% discount. That is before you get some of them at -30%. Not sure wether that is deliberate or not, but I finally cleared my wishlist from bundles. Whatever gets not bought at these prices has no place there.

    Getting more & more unimpressed with the free bundle choices with Premier. I hoped the selection would change today, because the original selection didn't interest me at all & there are some G9 character bundles I wouldn't mind picking up.

    But nope, the same ones I didn't want in October. They did add the new Lycan 9, but it barely piques my interest. 

    Now, I was considering paying for a second month of Premier before dropping back to D+ or Base. Now? Well Daz has a week to make me decide that's still a good idea for me.

    I don't understand why, but it seems that putting a Debut New item in the cart results in applying two 45% discounts to some of the DazO items in the Featured Artist selection. I just picked up the entire series of Zodiac bundles for less than the list price of a single one.

    They're back! And it's not a horror movie!

    You will recall a week or 2 ago, a bunch of G9 bundles disappeared, having been split up into smaller bundles like Character and Add-on?

    I was perusing the Best of Daz selection last night and I noticed the mega bundles for Nikolai 9 & Minerva 9 were included, and they didn't lead to Oops! pages. So I looked at the figure pages and their old bundles, like the Christmas ones, are back along with their "new" Character bundles. Did a bit more spot checking on a few others. All the Lawrence 9 bundles seem to be available again. Tara 9 Succubus Starter & Pro bundles are in the store. I didn't find the old Pixie 9 mega bundle (Fairy War theme?) however. Even though I am not wild about G9*, I think this is good news.

    *But have found a few gems

    Well, I've given in. After the Daz algorithm nudging them at me for literally years, I have finally bought all four Angeloi kits from the PFAD catchup list today. The combination of the price and an upcoming Genuine Story Need pushed me over the edge.

    This would not be so much of a problem if I hadn't also bought both the FPE makeups and the Nathy shapes to go with. Coming on the heels of a Really Spent More Than I Should Have day last week, I'm seriously considering a moratorium on purchasing any new Studio resources until, say, 2025.

    Anyway, what I came in to say (and forgot, and had to edit the message to add it) is that because PFAD is ALL the PFAD stuff today, you can remove the peculiar sort order they've chosen for the PFAD list and get it in an order that makes sense, without worrying that by removing the filter params you'd see something listed that wasn't eligible for the category.

    I have 20 days left on my Premier membership so I've been stocking up like a crazy fool, getting some pretty good deals actually. I have several G9 bundles in my cart right now for $3 total, using the $10 coupon for DO, and 6 tokens. The purchase gets 8 tokens. Too bad this isn;t Monday or Tuesday. I would get 16 tokes which should be enough to make it to the end of the run. Then it will be wishlisting and waiting for the next huge opportunity of a sale. Its easy to save that $18.99 for membership and save a ton, but I'm not into a monthly deal. Note $915 with $875 off ... for $43

    I don't mind monthly IF I get my money's worth from it (so far I have) AND I can cancel it when ever I want.

    Finally I caught up with the sales, Wishlist discounts are a great deal, DAZ say that today is the last day of sales, So is it a good idea to use up all tokens and coupons today?

    It says it is the last day of the catchup sale. I have not seen where it says it is the last day of the Premier sale; and even it is as the title of this thead says "There is always another sale"
