    Likewise, but willing to admit that a total of two surveys taken may not be representative. 

    Now they got us all to answer for free. Be interesting to see if they ever compensate us again. >_>  

    I had that thought.

    Though honestly if it inspires them to do some actual decent weekly freebies, I'd consider it time well spent.

    Well, I don't see myself spending much this MM as a long time Daz + member who is not going to pay $2.49 for old content I've passed on for years for a gold star that only gives you10% off! Regular daily sales are better than this. My Daz+ expires at the end of April and I got no "special offer" to switch to Premier so I may be done here soon until they have the great sales they had around Christmas. They had great door busters with new content but now we are supposed to have to keep up buying something every other day just for an extra 10% off? Nope.

    Oh my gosh, I don't know if you folks can believe it, but for the weekly freebie?

    WE GET ANOTHER SCI FI HALLWAY!!!!

    Y'know, just in case the futuristic crowd was feeling neglected because last week's hallway had a red carpet instead of neon lights.

    In fact, this is depressing.

     Have you gone to My Account > Membership Management?

    I have a box on the right that says "You Have A Personalized Offer" in green lettering, and clicking the green "VIEW YOUR OFFER" button goes to a switch option.

    Maybe that disappears when you don't have much time left, though; I have until 10/2026 so I might not be seeing the same thing you do.

    I've  been around since it was the old Platinum Club days and remember a wider variety of often useful items. I will admit I find generic shader kits useful and liked the brutalist architecture sets.

    I'm making the best of another empty, black, neon-lit hallway (sigh..frown) by adding a few things, including Richard Haseltine. Adding Richard can improve any scene, in my experience. laugh No dumb little laser beams, security cameras, or motion activated spot lights are going to keep Richard from going wherever he wants to go!

    I actually bought something yesterday for the $2.49 as Daz+ member, simply becasue I'd never seen the product before and it had never been below $3, but was something I knew I could make good use of in my renders.

    However, today I just realised a star only gives you 10% off, so yeah, don't think i'll be worrying about trying to make a regular purchase as thats little motivation, and will only buy if it's something again that really fits my art ideas.

    How often do the Premier Bundles that are available for coupon usage get changed out? Is it every week a new one is in and an old one out? I still have a few days left to decide, but the only one I'm really interested in is the Lycan 9 HD Bundle which is not listed among the choices unfortunately. 

     

    It varies a lot. The New Releases, about a month. Older ones are semi-permanent and stay for months. However, Daz removes 1-2 at a time, randomly & without warning. Daz has also added more, just as randomly, including several this month. Complicating things, last month Daz had a promo where there were 30 eligible bundles, including all the New ones that had cycled out. Great if you hadn't used the coupon. (Barring a similar deal, I doubt Lycan will be eligible to a long while.)  So there's a lot of FOMO involved.

    The only consistent rule so far is that when a new core character bundle is released then it will be added to the list at least during its intro period. Otherwise I don't think there's been a regular schedule for list update, or a set duration for how long a bundle stays there.

    Hallway Tip: they work when you want a super-simple setting for PC & NPC portraits for RPGs. Well at least when the game genre is SF or cyberpunk. I haven't yet found any for fantasy. So if anyone can suggest any shader sets to change them from OD'd On Neon to Classic Dungeon or Elven Palace Corridor, I'd be grateful.

    Here's some possibilities. Some of these are even in today's sale.

    Except that new releases are not really all that interesting, at least to me. Today, we have 7 products by one PA which are: two characters, two young versions of those characters, and three different bundles of those 4 characters. The variety in today's new releases is just killing me. I feel spoiled for choice ;).

    And that PA also has issues with duplicate formulas that never get resolved-so I'm avoiding all their products, too.  But yeah the overall variety today is a bit lackluster, hoping for a good bundle tomorrow.

    Yeah, they're on my no-buy list as well, but I figured that's just me, so I didn't mention it. Even if the PA was someone I buy from, 7 products out of which 3 are bundles offers very little variety.

    They are meant to be barriers? I thought it was George Lucas' lumbermill and was just looking to see if there were any baby Jawas to play with.

    I was thinking the same thing about it just being me with the issues, too.  :)

    And I also agree about the lack of variety and that is a bit deterrant for me today.  I've spent a lot so far the last two days, but today I think I'll just grab one of the $1.99 products and see what happens tomorrow.

    I think I started with the Platinum Club in 2012. Back then, the freebies actually had much more sophisticated models than these quickly cobbled-together corridors, bus stops and 'thrones' without seats and lids... Some of my most used treasures were PC freebies.

    Corridor or not: barbult's Richard is really cute!

    i have to say I like the character from Matari3D M3D Marlow HD for Genesis 9 | Daz 3D  other than the gorge across the bridge of his nose. I would think he usually wears glasses,. Also like the new hair from Prae -Nico Hair For Genesis 9 and 8 | Daz 3D
    I had purchased some stuff yesterday to get me 8 tokens ... oh, I caved and bought a premier membership. The tokens plus the Gold Star discount, and putting 2 New Releases in my cart gives me additonal discount on the Mad Artist Stores, Ended up with 75% off New Releases, 84% off some Wishlist items, and 92% off DO Mad Artist items...G8 , Horse 3, and G9. Not too bad really.  

    EDIT" Just remembered, I have the DO $10 coupon to u se as well, so that can drop it some more for the DO items. AHA -- the 3 DO items are now 100% off with $5 left or so, that will allow me a couple more products as free. Let me check that out laugh

    I don't know if it's a glitch, but I bought something, supposedly got a "Gold Star" but the base discount didn't become 50%. I saved no additional money on any other intended prchases. What gives???

    You don't get the discount until the day after your purchase.

    That's a reference I have no idea about. Certainly I am old enough, but not something I ever heard of. "George Lucas" name drop makes me think "Start Wars". I'm not a fan. I think I only saw the original movie decades ago.

    Oh I checked when Premier first started and I clicked my "personalized offer" which is still there and it just goes to the regular pricing for both Daz+ and Premier.

    The thing is, if you wait just a little you can get those character bundles super cheap with stacking and tokens. I got the Lycan bundle (which I didn't really even need) only because it was so cheap, like under $3.00. The few character bundles I did purchase (as a Daz+ member) were all super cheap, like $3.00-$4.00. I have all the content I'll ever need but when I see super cheap prices, I can't resist. Right now the only thing that really interests me is FilaToon stuff so I'll occasionally get new FilaToon products as a buy in that triggers other good sales but I really only purchase new items if I can get them below 65% off and if it gets other items on my wishlist to average around $2.00. If I join Premier, it's an extra $19.00 a month to get something I can get under $4.00 if I wait. And I already own all the plug-ins that come with Premier. I may just take a big break from Daz when my Daz+ expires, I just don't really see the advantage of either plan at this point.

    Yes. I buy some stuff, especially bundles if I can get them cheapp. Daz has been leaving a lot of money on thevtable because they skipped having the BYOB 8 for $4 of old stuff. I filled up on those all the time.

    Wow, this sale is really bad if you're not Premier. The regular daily sales were better than this. I like all of today's offers, the whole French aristocracy type theme, but just going to have to put it all in my wishlist for a few months. There's literally no advantage to buying anything new.

    Actually, today's working out quite well for me, and I'm just DAZ+, so you might want to give it a try if you like the new items. I got both the Cecelia and the Dresses bundle (one does pay for one dress twice this way, but I thought it was neglible pricewise), one for 15, one for 17 bucks or somewhere around that. So they were around 82% off. which is an amazing deal for new items I feel. I had 6 tokens and used my DO coupon. Also bought some things from the featured PAs, and the prices were quite alright there. Oh, I have a gold star, so that adds some discount, too.

    If you have any tokens lying around, it might really be worth a try. Good luck!
