    There are now only 28 core G8 characters I don't own, one of which I don't want at all, and a few others I could take or leave.

    I just picked up 5 more Gen 8 Pro Bundles bringing my total to 18. Along with a ton of other items I picked up through the PC+ sale, and using a 25% off Gift Card to pay for them all, these bundles were incredibly cheap today.

    And DIM showing 12.1GB to download, so my PC will be busy for a while :)

     

    Edit: I was curious what my historical Pro Bundle count was, so I checked it out:

    Gen 4 - 2

    Gen 5 - 4

    Gen 6 - 10

    Gen 7 - 8

    Gen 8 - 18

    Plus Daz Horse 2 Pro Bundle and Daz Dragon Pro Bundle.

    I'm kind of surprised, actually. I thought I had more previous generation pro bundles.

    Buy for need? That's not the DAZ way! laugh

    @Cybersox, thanks again for explaining the pro bundle math to me - managed to pick up Edie Pro yesterday for around 12 bucks! I‘d been wanting her forever and now have some nice hair and stuff to go along, for so much less than the character alone would have usually cost me. Quite amazing, that is. So thanks, and I shall keep my eyes peeled for more pro bundle math magic in the future.

    32 Pro Bundles in My Library/collection. I've always wondered how many I had, and this thread gave me the chance to count them cheeky (Thanks).

    Generation 4 (M4/V4) - 4

    Genesis - 1

    Genesis 2 - 2

    Genesis 3 - 11

    Genesis 8 - 14

    I didn't think I had as many as that. I'm also suprised that I only have two Genesis 2 Pro Bundles. But looking at the Product Library, I seem to have accumulated quite a few Starter Bundles instead.

    I bought the Kala 8 Pro Bundle yesterday (along with the Sanjay 8 Pro Bundle). I love the contents and the character. I think Kala is going to be the replacement that was needed to fill the void where Lilith used to be (seeing that there isn't a Lilith 8). I haven't had a look at the Sanjay 8 Pro Bundle yet, as I've been working on something else.

    I pretty much stopped buying them when I realized that every character I install makes loading the base character slower. I have enough of the G8 generation, unless something very unique is released. I still expect this fire sale on G8 to lead to a G9 soon. Who knows.

    Yes, I bought Daisy 8 Pro Bundle. 

    Along with Daisy 8, I got these fine G8M beasties to terrorize my runtime.

    She’s in my cart, although I’m not entirely sure why. 

    ...oh, right, because I’m in this thread.

    I have 22 G8 pro bundles. The rest that I have are either starters (not many) or just the character (most). Thankfully, this most recent bundle is one I can totally skip - pro, starter OR character ;).

    Aubrey is super cheap today, so I can grab her by herself, because there’s no way I was buying that dumpster fire of a pro bundle. 

  • ScarletX1969ScarletX1969 Posts: 587

    Okay, I will play this game...lol.

    Let me preface this by saying...I don't think I'm much of a Dazaholic as I was back before Genesis 3 because I've spent WAAAAAAAAAAY too much money on Daz in general.  From 2004 to now, I think I've spent enough money to pay off my house and my girlfriend's house.  Also, I made a vow that once Genesis 8 was done and DAZ introduced Genesis 9, I would no longer pay content.  With all the wonderful tools and utilities created by Riversoft and Sickleyield and others, I truly believe I have everything I need to create wonderful art and I can now model simple things.

    Now, since I have explained myself like a true addict that is trying to rationalize addiction...lol...let's take a look at my damage as far as pro bundles go:

    Generation 4 Pro Bundles - 8
    Genesis Pro Bundles - 8
    Genesis 2 Pro Bundles - 24
    Genesis 3 Pro Bundles - 36
    Genesis 8 Pro Bundles - 72

    This does not include other bundles, just the bundles that are related to the base models.  So I haven't even included horror bundles, fantasy bundles, sci-fi bundles, animals bundles etc.

    No wonder when I click on the purple banner, DAZ leads off with "You have purchased a significant number of Genesis 8 Pro Bundles."

    Lol, I think I will check into rehab now.

    The first step to beating an addiction is admitting you have one. Maybe no one wants to admit it. LOL

    Absolutely not.  I could stop if I wanted to.  I just don't want to.  It is the rest of you that have no willpower!  cheeky

    I should not have gone looking to see how many bundles I have - because it's scary. According to my product library, I have exactly 333 bundles (eep, odd number - kind of makes me want to quickly go buy another bundle so that the number isn't so weird. Three threes makes me twitchy lol), but those are just any product with the word "bundle" in the name. So I'm sure a lot of those aren't official Daz Original figure bundles.

    So now to find out out how many of each generation I have - I do a search of "pro bundle" and that comes out to 115. Ok, whew, much better.

    Now to figure out how many of each generation I have.

    Searching by "4 pro bundle" I get four results:

    *Edit: Looks like Victoria 4 didn't show up in the search, even though I own her pro bundle. Probably because she's listed as 4.2 instead of just "4".*

    Cool. Not too bad. I've been "good" with not buying too many of that generation's bundles. I think, though, that they only came out with like 8 pro bundles for that generation, so I probably shouldn't pat myself on the back too much. lol I think I'm only missing the Kids 4 Pro Bundle, Freak 4 Pro Bundle, and Hiro 4 Pro Bundle. Are there any others from that generation that have slipped my mind?

     

    On to Genesis 1. I did a search of "5 Pro Bundle" in my product library and came up with again only 4:

    I think I'm missing Young Teens Pro Bundle, Freak 5 Pro Bundle, Hiro 5 Pro Bundle, and Stephanie 5 Pro Bundle. Is that all they released - 8 pro bundles for Genesis? Did I forget to list anyone?

     

    On to Genesis 2. A search of "6 Pro Bundle" comes up with 14 in my Product Library:

    I think I'm still missing the pro bundles for Callie 6, Darius 6, Lee 6, Aiko 6, Stephanie 6, Michae 6, and The Girl 6. Did I forget anyone?

     

    Genesis 3: A search of "7 Pro Bundle" shows I own 34 (which I think is ALL of them lol). I don't think I'm missing any of the "Official 7 Daz Original" characters.

     

    Genesis 8 (oy, this is where it gets scary). A search of "8 Pro Bundle" comes up with ...53! surprise That's more than I thought! Which, according to this post, looks like I'm still missing 18 of the G8 pro bundles, if it's right. I think most of the ones I'm missing are males, since I don't render males very often. 

     

    Yeah, I definitely have more bundles than I realized. lol And sadly many of the ones I'm "missing" from earlier generations I already own ALL of the content that comes in those bundles - so buying the bundles would be pointless. I kind of wish that if you own everything that comes in a bundle it would show up as owning the bundle (my mild OCD wishes that anyway lol).

    I drink a lot of brake fluid, but I'm not addicted, I can stop whenever I want to.

    After picking up 4 G8 starter bundles with today's sale, I am down to a single page of G8 core figures I don't own, one of which I don't want at all.

  • ALLIEKATBLUEALLIEKATBLUE Posts: 2,977

    I have every pro bundle except Leroy 8 but I did get the Leroy characters

  • Pre-Genesis 2? Dunno. I have a few, but that was before my time. I started this hobby at the tail end of Genesis 2, learned how to do things during the Iray beta (which was the best time to learn because it forced you into the Surfaces tab).

    I have every Genesis 2 & Genesis 3 Pro Bundle, many of which came as freebies from Genesis 8 purchases, altough I also purchased a significant number of Genesis 3 Pro Bundles.

    Genesis 8? Probably easier to list the ones I don't have.

    • Toon Dwayne 8 Pro
    • Mei Lin 8 Pro
    • Miss Chow 8 Pro
    • Yuzuru 8 Pro
    • Robyn 8 Pro
    • Rynne 8 Pro
    • Leroy 8 Pro
    • Nida 8 Pro
    • Valentino 8 Pro
    • Scar 8 Pro

    I mean... I favor pretty, younger girl figures (like... Darcy 8 versus Nida 8), but you can see that's not necessarily consistent. It's kind of weird I got.Lee 8 Pro and not Mei Lin 8 Pro.

    This is one time where my traits of being stuburn and resistant to change, has really helped my wallet! Heheh! I don't think I own any pro bundles. But I''m contantly buying products to help refit my older stuff. Give it the good fight! Don't give in! Next purchase you make, Tell yourself not to make another purchase until you do 200 art works. Maybe that will help.

    I'm doing better than I thought.  14 Genesis 8 bundles, 18 Genesis 3, 3 Genesis 6, and one each of Genesis 5 and Gen 4.  Mostly I buy the parts that I'm interested in when they're heavily discounted.  They have too many bundles with stuff I'll never use.  Now this doesn't imply at that I don't have too much content and that I don't need an intervention.  mmkdaz, your idea is wonderful - make more art before buying.... hee hee.. however, I don't think made 200 images total in the entire 12 years I've been doing this.  I'm beginning to think my hobby is really collecting content.  I clicked on one of the recent sale buttons and 35000+ items popped up.  So I clicked on the Only Show Wishlist Items (this may not show up unless you're using the DAZ Deals add-on - I can't remember).  Anyway, nothing on my Wishlist showed up.  I realized I wasn't logged in. Only thing I did was log in.... item count dropped to 30000+.  I'm just sitting there blinking.... trying to analyze this...

    Update on my addiction

    66 pro 8 bundles
    123 total pro bundles of all generations combined
    24 total starter bundles  (3 in the 8 series)

    And I'm sitting here right now trying to justify buying the new Aliens vs Troopers bundle.  With my banner deal, I get 7 free starter bundles (and there are plenty to choose from).  That boils down to 60 new items at $1.63 each.  THAT's an incredible deal.

    Sounds like you have your justification, then.

    There's a coupon today for 50% off a single pro bundle, and I'm starting to really struggle to find one I especially want. I ended up with Elithia.

  • IvyIvy Posts: 7,165

    Now I am depressed. I was like Oh Boy a 50% bundle sale. Then when I clicked the link I notice there was only like 60 bundles offered then i click things i own.  Ooof !

  • Yeah. There's 19 on the page that I do not own.

    :-|

    .

    I think I could use Valentino 8. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

  • KharmaKharma Posts: 3,214

    I own almost every bundle, it shows 7 out of150 available for me.  Two of those are Teen jayden 6, I own the starter instead of pro cause it was free, and Keiko 6 pro bundle but I purchased the Mega Manga Bundle, the super suit bundle I had purchased a large bundle which included everything supersuit, the other 2 are Gen 4 which I don't want.  The only 2 I can choose from are Aubrey and Dasan ....  not sure I want either other than they are cheap but will probably be given away for free eventually.  Obviously I don't need any more Pro Bundles ......
