    i'm glad i'm not the only one feeling like that "monster character" being tossed in the bundle really was "too random", i was like ok i'ts looks like the monster creator ended in the same "list of releases of the day as the peoples behind the bundle then daz needed to add it on the bundle..., its really was random for me lol and again we have 'stuffs from others packs/bundle.

     

    this horse is really famous now, you have him on "his own bundle, in the fantasy mega bundle and now in the holt bundle, what a "celebrity wink

     

    others told this bundles seens more "focused on characters because they have "few outfits and more "acessories and props and characters, even less hairs since they have "beards too"( some characters come with beards and hairs).

     

    i really hope those outfits can be "low poly"(i means under the 100k rule), then i would think in buy then, otherwise probably will be a pass for me now.

    In the past offers for the free HD morph with Pro Bundle purchase it was automatically added to my product library, so it didn't occur to even add it to my cart and checked out without it.  I'm sure it will get added to my product library one way or the other.

    Yeah, in the end a ticket will get it for you if need be. I wish the store software didn't make so much work for those poor CS people though, or there was a better way to translate the Dazanesse writing on the sales pages. I feel bad every time I write them a ticket, which I've never done so much as I do here.

    At the very least they could have made iray textures/upgrades for the horse saddle, considering it is so old it isn't iray. 

    On the whole I like Holt, I do like some of the stuff in both the bundles, though I will have to think about it a little. Perhaps wait until the HD add on does become free with the two bundles.

    The HD add-on is not showing as free in the cart with both bundles in it.

    Dito.

    Eli looks great, and those optional Jonah Hex burns/scars included with him are quite cool. Eli + Nathan Fade Haircut is tempting, but Eli requires Holt, and at that point it's more economical to buy everything (after the credit is taken into account - thanks for reminding me, @empty). Really wish this had been a Pro bundle instead.

    With three purple banners - 10% off Wild, 10% off Weird, 20% off one or 30% off both - comes to $79 exactly in my cart. Not enticing me to buy.

     

    On a positive note, Nathan Fade Haircut looks really good - that'll be a purchase or at least wishlisted for future purchase.

    Plus 40$ store credit and free HD Holt if you buy both, but you get your credit back tomorrow for some reason.

    $40 in store credit? It looks like $30 in store credit if you purchase both bundles.

    My bad...half-awake me added the 10$ from the above Holt HD as well.

    According to the wee tiny asterisk print on the sale page, both the store credit and Holt HD Addon will be credited to your account tomorrow. The store credit statement and the "Holt 8 Add-on FREE" statement each have an asterisk, but there's only one asterisk statement under them, so it has to apply to both. (They could have made life easier for us and them with a touch more clarity in the statement -- "Both store credit and the HoltHD Add-on will be credited to your account tomorrow" would be clearer and not much longer, but then, if they stated these things more clearly, they wouldn't be Daz.)

    Seams a fairly good deal to me, aside from all the recycled content, seams Daz is taking after some game developers (I'm looking at you Bungie). With the three banners and the $30 credit rebate you can get both bundles for the price of just the main one. What I'm wondering about though is how you get the HD add-on for free. I put it in the cart but no joy there, asking $20. Are you supposed to leave it out? The page says all items simultaneously.  I mean, it is probably one of the weakest HD add-ons I've seen, so it's not like it's all that much of an loss or incentive, I'll likely use a different character's one anyway to give him some definition. The face adds a bit, but the rest.... there's barely even any wrinkles in his hands which i where I find the most use in those addons, hands and feet, with lips being a close third.

    All in all though, I like him a lot, as well as the characters. For $35-$40 bucks I'd say the characters alone are worth it to me. Gonna give it a night's sleep before pulling the trigger though to see about that HD thingy. 

     

    P.S. Buying that Horse Bundle all that time ago has sure paid off, there have been so many discounts from having that already... I can think of like three now at least. And for newer people that don't have some of that stuff already a pair of cowboy bundles is a great place to pick them up. Just wish there was maybe a new horse (character? morph?) or saddle or something to go along with it for those of us that have the noble steed already.

    I'm guessing, purely guessing, that you will get credit for the HD Add-On tomorrow...maybe (it has the asterix next to FREE, so it's just an assumption)

    an EXTRA 20% OFF* them • $30* store credit • Holt HD Add-On FREE*

    * Items must be in cart simultaneously for discount to apply. Will be credited to your account tomorrow.

    I like the Harold and Old Jeb characters.  I find it hard to match skin when trying to get similar results with morph dials.

    You think that's what they meant? You are likely right, though it seems odd. I'm not overly fussed about the hd add on so it's not a deal breaker for me, still need to think about wether I can afford both bundles (or rather want both bundles bad enough to live on noodles until next payment lol) however so things can change I suppose :)

  • smoke14smoke14 Posts: 261

    But it does also say  Items must be in cart simultaneously for discount to apply.

    Overall pretty confusing. All the previous HD add-on I got free had to be in the cart & were then discounted there.

    Which would not be the same as 'FREE' as it requires an extra $20 layout, even if it does come back in store credit. There is a significant difference for me in paying $92 for two bundles and getting $20 back as store credit for the HD, or paying $72 with the HD already free.

    $73 for both bundles and HD add-on + $30 Store credit , it's a very good offer.

    ( 51% + 30% + 30% + 20% = 81% off)

    Sadly I already own Horse 2 content and only Eli HD is interesting

    Except for Jeb nothing interesting. Also, Diego 8 had similar items not to long ago.

    Daz Horse 2 in a new pro bundle? Come on. At least throw in the Iray materials.

    argh, you need to do lots of maths to buy on daz today! :(

    It's not a pro bundle, it's a themed bundle like we had for some other figures.

    I just noticed that the CDI Poses for Genesis 8 Male and Holt 8 in the Wild West Bundle doesn't use Western Guns on offer in the Weird West Bundle, but rather Old West Firearms Vol 2. No real biggie, I guess, but it does just add another expense.

    Has there been another name-and-number figure that had neither a pro or starter bundle? Leaving oddballs like Underbelly and Tara aside, i can't remember one -- which isn't to say it hasn't happened, just that I don't remember it at the moment. Up through Kwan and Kayo, there were a few that were getting three -- day-of-release pro and starter, then a day or two later, another themed bundle.

    It's an interesting approach, anyway.

    Still lame. Old timers already have it, and newbies need to buy more items to use it properly. This also reduces the potential value of the Horse bundles for anyone who would buy them after having already purchased the Holt bundle.

    Kwan doesn't have either, only the trooper and aliens vs troopers bundles.

    For me it's only 30% off, due to owning Horse2 already, and then the extra 20% each for buying both bundles, making the total $ 104.25 and $ 30.- payback in store credit. So - as I'd buy with store credit - the two bundles would add up to $ 74.25 for me, which isn't that bad, but too much compared to what I really want and need from the bundles.

    Poses aren't high on my "want/need list" and the clothes coming with the bundles look only okay-ish to me, with way to few morphs to make them actually useful. Like, buttons that can be opened and things like that. Add to that the tendency of PAs to add dForce as an excuse to not adding morphs and I'm quite less inclined to have an interest in these clothes.

    So once again quite a few items end up on my wishlist and wait for a really nice sale...

    I found 3 messages stacked for this offer waiting for me. I added both bundles and the HD into my cart and found that the two bundles went down to nearly the price of the first one. The HD is showing 100% free now. With a couple of the PC+ items, and my weekly freebie added, my cart is at $82.63. And I am not a monster fan, but guys, he is by Joe Quick!

    My purple banners and store credit get both bundles down to about $52 total. I despise the marketing scheme of including old stuff that I already own. I dislike junk like a monster being thrown in where it doesn't match the theme. It's dumb to offer a new bundle that requires owning a previous bundle that you didn't purchase. The core of these new bundles have some really good stuff but unlike a salesman who can sell refrigerators to an Eskimo, Daz couldn't sell water in the Sahara desert.
