What?!? No more comments yet? It must be too early...lol.
Thank you!
Part of the bundle doesn't display for me, and the today's sales page greets me with an error.
Courtesy of the new store upgrade?
Alright, it started working, I do like some of the products and the add-ons, but the price is a bit meh. USD 45.95 for me, with a 15% off orange banner for owning one of the products - Miranda Hair. I am going to wait for later today in hopes of a purple banner for multiple Genesis 8 bundle owners.
This looks awesome and will allow great kitbashing: https://www.daz3d.com/steampunk-artificer-for-genesis-8-females
I agree, in contrast to last week. not sure what Daz is doing these days. It's praise one week, and not so much the next. Cool character though.
It's actually 38 cents cheaper for me to buy the items I want from the bundle and the HD than to buy the bundle with the HD free, even with the Miranda hair banner. Maybe more depending on whether I really need more female outfits LOL.
Edit: now that apparently some discount or other has kicked in - maybe the banner? - the bundle is slightly cheaper, but I'm pretty sure I have similar boots to the embers outfit somewhere, as well as steampunk goggles. So out the Ember outfit goes.
Not yet seeing the 15% for having Miranda Hair. The Loyalty Bonus is applying.
...and fixed by the time I posted that.
I personally think, the deparment doing these deals is somehow drunk.
While Drutherson was a very good deal, Topsy is really bad.
$45 seems much too expensive for this deal.
Same here. I'll wait for a better offer.
1 hair, 2 outfits, 2 poses and only 1 extra character. I suppose this is just the new norm now, despite the prices staying exactly the same (!?). The environment is a cool idea, but the excitement there is completely erased by the fact that apparently the single hair they included isn't even new. But people will buy it because it'll get them other pro bundles 90% off, and it'll look good in Daz's records and they'll just keep doing it :/
The worst part is I'm doing exactly this so I'm no better. Just makes me kinda tired, ya know? Other comments in this thread are spot on: sometimes it's "woah, check this deal out! Woo! Finally Daz is on a roll!" and the next there's whatever the heck that cryomancer business was about. It's a rollcoaster I'm probably not going to get off, but I'm sure not enjoying it as much as I ought to
$39 for me with the orange banner for the hair and the loyalty discount, but that's US$ and I'm in Canada, so it adds another big percentage. Must add up the things I really like or am likely to use ... um... I do like a few of the items though and she is quite unique... I agree it's not a screamin' deal though, but we do need to support daz and our artists...
Yeah went down to 39. Still not a good deal
Before the banner for the hair kicked in, it was 39 cents cheaper for me to buy the parts of the bundle I wanted and pay for the HD. Then the banner kicked in and the bundle became cheaper - so I looked at the outfits and realised the parts I like are things I can kitbash from elsewhere, so I'm down to just Topsy and the HD in the cart. Not interested in the offer on the older bundles - I already have the ones I wanted (or just the character in some cases).
So I've started inching towards getting off the rollercoaster... It can be done, but you have to work on looking through the "Ooh! New! Shiny! Must have!" and controlling that BUY NOW! impulse.
Unfortunately even the banner for bundle collector's is missing. That - and bringing the price further down - would be the only incentive for me to buy this bundle as I do own all of the Gen 8 bundles and basically most of any other kind of bundles.
Used to be the guys who got the poorer deals...
It combines very well with the Select DO Bundles offer though. Somehow, the Tween Julie 7 Pro bundle (which I didn't have yet) discounts all the way down to $13.23.
Overall, it's not a bad deal today, not amazing, but certainly not bad either. Avarage discount for my current cart as a whole is now 85%. I've seen total cart discounts for pro-bundle releases as good as 94% in the past, but I've also seen them around 81%, so it's a kinda normal discount I think.
As for Topsy: I like her, she definitely is a character, and should make a nice Tolkien style dwarf, once I put a beard on her.
Regarding the Topsy bundle as a whole: I think I can find use for at least bits and pieces of every product within, they'd probably all eventually end up on my wishlist anyway, because "Darn, I could really use something like that now!". Which isn't weird for me, I still have an outfit on my wishlist because it has a very simple anklet. (simple being the keyword on that one, i.e. not elaborate)
Topsy for us$36.09 (71% d/c) is final?
I still have two G8 pro bundles I want and the 50% discount is attractive.
The Daz original bundles come at 90% d/c for us$13.23 each.
Even if I have to pay the 36.09 for Topsy, I think getting some pro bundles for us$13.23 each is worth? Any opinions before I proceed to checkout? =D
I am going to wait till the evening, maybe a purple banner got lost on the way to me?
Knowing Daz, it may be another 8-9 hours before the next banner pops up. Otherwise, no sale.
how are you getting $36 with 71% discount?
For me it's $39.
I like the character morph very much. The head shape could be perfect to mix in for character actresses. Maybe help toward a female sidekick type similar to the great 1930s wisecracking comedy staple, Patsy Kelly.
I'm still at $45.95. No banner of any kind. I don't already own the Miranda Hair, could that make so much difference? Will wait to see if there is a banner other than the Miranda Hair banner.
The price dropped to USD 39.06 for me on a refresh. I still hope for a purple banner.
I used Topsy in the background for the promo of my new set (she's in the elevator, hacking something).
I picked up the SASE Welda character just now - need some time to render with it.
Just refreshed my cart and it's $us39.06 as you say.
I must have switched the 6 & 9
Here's Topsy 8 out of the box:
Topsy 8 at 70%:
I think she's quite cute! :D
For someone who owns all Gen8/3/2 Pro Bundles, the deal is not that interesting. $39 for a microbundle with just 7 (!!!) new items plus the free HD morphs? Sure, there is a loyalty bonus. But then no collectors bonus nor are there any incentives as alternatives for the deep discounts one could get on Pro Bundles. The 71% discount is not that bad although with the last bundle it was higher. But the base price - which is on par with a fully new 12/11-item-pro bundle with 2 new hairs and 3 characters makes it nearly impossible for this bundle to become attractive without further incentives or additions.
She is a character, not just a new figure...
I took one look at Topsy in the grey scale promo and my first thought was "change the skin, add furry feet- Rosie Cotton)"
The bundle is pricey and as others have said, I already have all the G8/G3 pro bundles I'd actually spend $$$ on so nothing to take advantage of there.
I was happy to see a new outfit by Mada...yay!
Topsy at 40% with her skin Translucency lowered to .75 and normal maps dialled to zero.
She looks like she'll probably mix well with other characters too. :)
