Thanks. After i saw a picture by someone else i realized is customized (interesting concept). And yes, sadly i only see one item, no freebie option at all. I report it in the other Thread. Will add a pic now too.
Cyber Monday nothing much new. Same sales, other than the advent free item. Free is good. The holiday free socks OK as well. Sales wise, same same. Maybe I've just become a disgruntles customer over time. Or is it I have too much and not satisfied or maybe not willing, to pay the current pricing without serious discounting. KOO Sylvia HD
for Genesis 9 for $2.99 not too bad. I like her.
If I remember correctly last years Black friday, and cyber monday were rather weak too.
Since the talk about Premiere is re-emerging, I traded 2 months of + for a month of Premiere (4 codes for 4 codes). Overall it was positive, since it was the first month of Premiere and 25th anniversary I got a lot of great deals. Halloween promotion had some big bundles for pennies. I got Crow Mega Bundle for the 10$ off cuopon + cheap buy-in (I believe it was around 2$). Later in the month I got Ally 9 bundle for 3$ + change, and many, many individual assets very cheap. That first month of Premiere was very good, however there's no guarntee every month is going to as good. The character bundles - well I'm happy with I got, however the character bundles/ starter bundles aren't a sale on their own, because of how limited the choice is, and it were only gen 9 bundles.
I like the fact that now I can subscribe only for 1 month, but lack of option for a longer period, with better price is a bummer.
20$(yes, I'm rounding it up) for a month of premiere is a bit pticey, to use the 2nd cuopon I need to spent another 15$, so that's 35$ to maximize the subscription benefits, and that's only 1 month.
That's pricey. Sure it might be nothing for some, but not every user of DazStudio lives in US, and there's no regional pricing. 35$ for you is not the same as 35$ for me.
Lowering that price a bit, idk even down to 15$, and bringing back quarterly, annual subscriptions, adding some promos on memberships, would make the membership more appealing.
I learned from the "report sale issues" thread that the advent calendar items aren't the same for everyone, and that they seem to be at least partly wishlist-based. I don't use the wishlist at all, so this is going to be an exciting month. Last year IIRC I ran about fifty percent on the advent calendar (that is, I took something about half the time; the rest of the days were things I wasn't interested in even cheap/free).
I'm in the US and it's still above my price point, even without the conversion woes that non-US folk have.
Can vouch for the fact that punches are not required this year... today, at least. I got mine just fine this morning slightly after changeover, zero punches.
I had several in the $2.99 slot come back multiple times. I don't recall anything from the $2.99 slot later crossing over to the free slot. Full disclosure: I was still in the process of figuring out what I needed/wanted at that point, so my wishlist was not robust. It might've been scraping the bottom of the barrel. There were several times I WL'ed a thing from the LD section thinking "well, maybe, I'll think about it" and then it showed up next day in my calendar, which potentially reinforces the starved-for-options theory.
The only offer I got was https://www.daz3d.com/mannequin-poses-for-genesis-8-female for $2.99. Obviously declining the offer. There was no free slot. It's fine. Whatever happens, happens.
well that explains the ridiculous selection with my tiny wishlist of more recent stuff ignored
textures for stuff I don't have
Textures for stuff you don't have is a trap - Must buy the item to use the textures.
i have tons of texture sets with no required product. they just sit there and rot. my only thought is that it would be possible to copy the texture in photosop or similar and use it in a created tile or something?
It's also worth remembering that last year the items offered seemed to be only up to a certain base price (maybe $25? don't remember), so if you have DOs in wishlist, but they're all more expensive than the cut off point, they likely won't be offered in the calendar—that's assuming the calendar works in a similar fashion this year.
me too but these were outfist I wouldn't want for free anyway and it will go away, I grabbed the frees that linger to clean up my search
I started wishlisting moderately priced DOs up through G8 era a couple of months ago, and sure enough, both of today's Advent offerings came from that group. I'm happy with that. I had started wishlisting things that got into my cart but didn't quite make the final cut, so sure, I'll gladly take them for free.
If it works like last year, then it's not too late to add a few DOs to your wishlist asap. I did that last year AFTER the promotion started and sure enough they started to turn up in the Advent Calendar from the next day onwards.
Only get them if you intend to buy the product one day, then add the product to your wishlist and hope you'll get it as part of your advent calendar: I had a textures pack then the clothes to use them for free* last year
(* well, free, I had to keep the card punched, so it was more likely $1 or less each time, when the price of the item to get a punch was factored).
Yeah, I had a similar strategy, though admittedly I started as soon as I figured out how the calendar worked last year. Plus, they do occasionally drop those really nice deals like the one they offered on St. Pat's where the only thing it works on is DOs on the WL.
Many discounts are added together today, Minerva 9 HD Christmas Bundle only $4.23 (95%Off) and more tools only 88% off.
I got a lot of tools on my wish list and it was a happy Monday, the only trouble was choosing only 15.
Because FilaToon can look great on older content, I've been wishlisting a bunch of super old content for when they go to less $1.00. I really hope these don't end up being my offers. Today there were two G8 offers so, so far so good. I'd rather get newer products in the calendar and can wait for the old stuff.
Agree 100% ... most of the time.
Today, as it happens, the advent calendar offered me Pokol for HH Demon for $2.99 ...
https://www.daz3d.com/pokol-for-hh-demon-for-genesis-9
and though I didn't own HH Demon, this package was the perfect solution for a problem I'd been trying to work out for my Christmas story the night before. And I was able to get HH Demon for about ten bucks. So I got both. Not something I'd do unless I had a definite, immediate need, but for once I did.
(Yes, I need a demon for a Christmas story. What's more Christmasy than demonic corruption? I ask you.)
My time in retail customer service would agree that there is nothing. Absolutely. Nothing.
I see. It's a beastly-looking demon, anyway. Nothing more Christmasy, no.
well I tossed some older but not ancient DOs in my wishlist, probably too late for today, most under $10 anyway today
hopefully at least one will drop in one of my advent draws
I'm good with whatever shows up in my door. Free is free. If I get a couple that will get used, its all good.
Whelp, I finally broke down and got some stuff at high-for-me prices... but they were utilities that addressed problems I was having, so probably worth it in frustration saved. And I guess I get 4 tokens out of the deal, and a punch, an advent freebie. We'll see how much of the extra stuff I wind up using.
well I got the Robot K9 which I added to my wishlist as my 2.99 option
some texture for an outfit I don't want as the free again
I grabbed Robo Fido as as a base member that's an OK price
So, we only get the free option if we have a punch?
It says "recent" purchase. So if you got something the day before yesterday, but not yesterday, you could get the freebie with no punches because the punches would reset.
The only monetary purchase I've made prior to the 2nd was a gift card on the 28th, and I got a freebie offered on the 2nd. However, it was right after changeover, so possibly the coding wasn't working as they intended. Also, there's no way of knowing if gift card purchases will do anything going forward. (I've also "purchased" the available freebies, but I'd think that wouldn't count). It also doesn't say how large the purchase must be. Does it follow the same $1 rule as the punch card?
For any fans of Zeddicuss*, today is fantastic day to clear your wishlists.
With 3 stamps, Premier, 8 tokens, 1 New Release, Zeddicus store goes down to 92% off and still has room for a coupon.
* Yeah, yeah Premier required for best deal.
I wonder if yesterday was an exception or error, and everyone got the free option? Did someone not get the free option yesterday?
I'll buy a $1 gift card today and we'll see how it is tomorrow.
I haven't bought anything in a while, and I have no punches. I got no freebie from daz's "advent calender" yesterday or today. I only show one option, today/yesterday and it's $2.99.
