That's a good point.
In the days of old - aka early to mid 60s or so - the parka was the fashion among british Mods and was used in about every weather. In Britain that meant rain most of the time anyway.
Re: Parka Outfit pants. I have seen lots of posts here about how many dForce men's pants look like a pair of tubes rather than being properly modeled. Now that I have seen these promos, I understand exactly what those posters were saying. Down the road, when that outfit is super cheap, I might grab it just for the parka which does, as Barbult said, look as if someone spent a lot of time on it.
It also doesn't look there is any way to put the hood up.
Truth, although that I mind less; personally I always use a hat & scarf so it doesn't ruin my peripheral vision. My hood exists pretty much to collect snow LOL
well now I got a 40% off code in DIM on wishlist items that didn't work
Mom?! :)

These look a heck of a lot better than the parka outfit. These shirts have a decent collar. The pants have a fly and hems and stitching. The promos show that the pants have a waistband and belt loops.The shoes have details. The hoodie has a visible zipper. The T-shirt with the stretched out neck and floppy sleeves looks a little sad, though.
The parka outfit looks like the artist spent time on the parka and added some throw away pants and shoes. There aren't any promo images that show what the individual items look like. Do those pants have a waistband? Who knows. The promos even show bad poke through between the parka sweater and the shirt underneath. If the promos show poke through, it makes me worry about how it will behave for me as a user.
Disclaimer - I don't own any of this (yet?) so I am evaluating only based on what we are shown in the store.
xyer0 said: I agree, although that collar can only be considered "decent" by Daz's decreased standards. I saw that pokethrough too, but I hadn't considered the implications you pointed out. I saw a forum render using the parka outfit shirt, and out of disgust I uncarted the bundle, wishlisted Lucas 9 and French Cut, and decided to wait a day as I've learned to do. Sure enough, yesterday's 20% off became today's 30% off. I wouldn't mind having the parka to dress my extras in, but I'll wait until it's 90% off; I don't want to encourage these practices.
I guess you weren't around in the "Grunge" years. Plaid with Doc Martens was everywhere and considered super cool! At least here in L.A., not sure about anywhere else but definitely here and I think it started in Seattle and Kurt Cobain was the king of grunge so it was considered super cool and rebellious, the opposite of mom picked clothes!
My son picked his clothes from the age of three, very opinated young man he was! When we moved back to California and he was in middle school he refused to wear jeans, it was baggy sweats that were replaced with baggy skater pants and tees. He was a skater that used business infrastructure to do tricks. (Before skater parks.) I didn't know he had a butt until he joined the U.S. Army and I saw him wearing clothes that actually fit him. And yeah, he loved grunge music. Yet when we lived in the U.K. it was all British music and their MTV and mullets.
I did buy the bundles but haven't looked at them yet. Not sure I will have time today.
Daz puts down the forumites as being a very small minority of their sales revenue yet we are the ones maintaining the integrity of the website and store by being vigilant reporting errors so it will function correctly for all the big companies supposedly spending tons more than us. Which personally I kind of doubt because many of us have been purchasing from here for years and own a good portion of the entire store by now whereas a big company may spend thousands in one day paying full price while we look for stacking deals but our expenditures add up over the years to probably more than what they pay for sporadic big projects. I'm beginning to think that active forum members should get extra perks. If people like @Barbult and many others suddenly left the forums and we stopped reporting errors, those big companies would soon see all the issues and stop trusting Daz as a viable asset store. I think forum members who report valid errors should get store credit for their efforts. Can the mods ask if this proposition is doable? I think it's only fair.
They already kind of do this the moderators are volunteers who get some perks I believe, also there used to Community volunteers who also got perks, I believe there are still some posting.
I bought the Lucas Bundles yesterday but with the wishlist sale I probably would have gotten a better price today. Maybe someday I'll learn to wait.
Yes and they should continue to do so. I'm talking about offering a few $ in store credit to regular forumites who report valid errors to the existing mods.
That's my elder child... they were handing me their desired outfit for the day before they could talk. Also, handing me what they thought I ought to be wearing, too. My younger one seems to give zero farts about fashion... he's all about the comfort. Though if I can find something with rainbows it gets a smile. Sadly hard to find in the boy section, and the girl section is all slim-fit stuff that doesn't fit him or has ruffles or something that would set off his sensory issues. But me? Oh, hand me the flannel. That outfit set went right on my wishlist.
More on topic, I'm kinda confused how 60% off the day's featured artists is a "flash" sale (as advertised in my orange banner) instead of just the day's usual. Especially odd since clicking the link takes me to the new releases, not the featured artists.
I think Daz marketing wants us to feel like there are still flash sales - Or something?
I'd escaped to Singapore then, but I'd thought about how grunge took that look and made it seem cool, which to me just showed how America tames and commercializes her rebels until they respond by conforming to the norm while thinking it's rebellion, unaware they've been co-opted, which was exactly what Kurt railed against and Dave Grohl acquiesced to. Slavery is most efficient when they think they're free and the chains are invisible---or at least shiny and sweet.
Threads merged since they weren't reporting and issue and were general conversation.
I've thought this a few times. Granted we have no way of knowing how many errors are caught before it goes live, but with how many remain it does feel like they're relying on forum user labor to proof their stuff. It would be sporting to see that appreciated in a way other than "oh congratulations you reported it, your reward is that now you can enjoy it working like we said it would."
@Wonderland & @SilverGirl It's a novel suggestion worthy of action. I'm not usually up at Daz Midnight, and even I have reported a few problems. Seems to me, the store would fail epically if not for the stalwart folk here on the forum who care enough to report all those errors and see the repairs through to completion.
Yeah, especially the folk who do extensive "I tried this, and that, and it worked in these cases but not this one" and then screenshot all their carts. And often have several back-and-forths with the mods. That's a lot of time, effort & documentation.
If you live on the opposite side of the globe, you don't even get that. Take those coupon codes the other day when Lucas 9 came out. They weren't fixed yet when I went to bed. They expired by the time I logged in the next morning. I've been messing with Daz for five years now, and people talked about it being the norm even then, with more staff even. They need to move away from the "new gimmick every day" strategy and find something they can be consistent with.
Interesting new deal today... spend at least $10.49 for a key item to get DAZ+ items for "only (!)" $8.99 apiece... which is a price reduction between ~35% and 70%. Wow... I bet that is very interesting for non DAZ+ clubbers.
OTOH it's a really innovative approach to try to get people to sign up for DAZ+ or Premier, as the price reduction for them is really interesting. At least, when one spends enough here anyway.
My youngest kid has no circadian rhythms (part of his autism parfait) and our sleep hours are all over the place... there are a lot of days I might as well be on the other side of the globe. Or any other part of the globe. So I definitely sympathize.
Especially! Those folks go above and beyond here. Reward is warranted, yes.
Outside of the big sales, seems like the deals aren't really that great even with Premier.
Oh, they're very good with Premier-but it always depends on the specific deals at the given date. My stance is that the Premier savings are better with what you get all the time, and the Premier reductions being the cherry on top.
The passive price reduction is good, then you add the accelerated tokens all the time, the free character bundle coupon each month and the better standard coupons, you're always saving, and even more so during the standard sales.
I got the Lucas 9 bundles by utilizing the free bundle coupon, and with 8 tokens I've earned by spending half the amount compared to as a Daz + member, I got them for both for $16.89. Same kind of thing applied for me with Sylvia. And the free bundle worked for the more expensive one so that was a nice touch.
Now the thing about the daily sales is the Premier bonuses only help if it really applies to something you like. But that's how it is for everyone, though-what defines a good sale is completely dependent on how the products are A) Something you'd actually buy and B) A reasonable price point. Like for today, the $2.99 Uncaged Items are pretty lackluster for my taste, so I'm passing. As it stands right now, I make the most out of it by building up tokens quickly (especially on Mondays), wait with the bundle coupon, then dump them all for a very cheap buy with a lot of stuff in the bundles. I imagine many of us do the token build up strategy (when our wallets allow it), but that coupon makes it a lot more interesting and potentially profitable (I feel like I'm part Ferengi).
@OrangeFalcon Let me put it this way: For me (and probably not just me), the conditions of Premier are not sufficiently compelling to keep it outside of the big sales. I lety mine lapse and I don;t feel bad about doing that. I expect to re-up for a month in March. YMMV.
That's the thing, Premier only really has benefits if you shop like a lot and game it just shy of extreme couponing. If you're spending less than a hundred a month, upwards of 15% of your whole budget is eaten up by the membership fee alone. You can buy something for the tokens maybe on a Monday if there's anything there you want to buy - though buying just for the sake of tokens is just raw consumerism. It gameifies the shopping experience into a series of repetitive microtransactions in order to min-max your library. And the FOMO has switched to fear of missing out if I don't buy it today to fear of paying a bunch today just to find out I can get it cheaper tomorrow, so you don't want to risk it. I got swept up in it the first couple years I was using Daz, when sales were cheaper and more sensationalized, and I dropped about 10k in assets. I don't have anything physical I've ever spent that much money on save for the flat we live in. I look at what kind of music gear, etc, I could have bought for that much and want to weep really.
But this is worse in its own way. You're encouraged to spend a lot of money just to get a cart that still winds up more expensive than you'd have paid two years ago, and pay fifteen a month for the privelege of it. If you buy nothing, they still pull your fee.
I really wish they'd have let us trial Premier rather than sacrificing our Daz+ for it. Nowadays, I'm really just here for the weekly freebies and the length of time I could enjoy those was cut in half by the switch. At the very least, we should be able to jump back FROM premier in the same prorated fashion we were able to jump TO it. I don't shop enough to get any benefit, but I'm married to it until June.
Where are Elena 9 and XI Love Hotel mentioned in this product?
My guess is that Valentine's is three weeks away, and they jumped the gun on this.
