Is this blink sale a Total sellout?

    You have so many variations of the same thing now it would not surprise me if sales are going down for individual products. Overall, sales may be up. I would call this a gimmick to get new life from stuff gathering dust. It's kind of like oil, the world is using more oil than ever before but technology has glutted the market so oil prices are down. For the PA's it may be a race to the bottom. Create a new character and it doesn't sell well so you tweak it with a different variation which essentially is cranking out the same thing over and over and when you over-saturate the market, you're working harder for less. If I were a PA I'd be changing my focus to increasing quality and creating products for which there is no competition. Uncle Sam character and outfit, Benjamin Franklin character and outfit, period clothing from the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, rooms with 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's decor. And strive for photo-realism, not cartoonish looking products. I was disappointed with the Frankenstein Lab that came out recently, very fake looking. I'd been asking for one for years and when it finally came out I didn't buy it. Just my observation, could be a completely baseless opinion.

    Daz gained a lot of new customers due to pandemic lockdowns, so it's a great opportunity for those folks to pick up some nice bundles.  For "loyal customers" expecting to be rewarded, I've found the sales generally not so amazing.  I've also done too much cherry picking for a lot of the bundles I don't own to be really tempting.

    I just hope Kanade 8 doesn't go on sale when I'm asleep. I already missed out on it once when it had a big sale.

    For a few of us oldtimers it's also a chance to pick up some stuff that has been lingering on our wishlists for ages. Of course, now my wallet is pretty much empty.

    Well I hope they recycle Daisy 8 back through (doubtful) as I was scraping up the cash for her bundle it switched to another bundle. Hate that! Ugh! Lol.

  • nearly every time I looked it was 0 but not being in PC+ I am not saving much amyway if something does pop up

    I'm waiting for Valentino 8. But I'm probably gonna miss him. I wonder if Kayo 8 or Kwan 8, any of those newer themed bundles will get added..

    we don't need a G9 version, we need a stable software!! and nothing else!! 

    And a stable store, too... Plus, "read mes" that actually exist.

     

    I can only get the bundles down to $33. *shrugs*

    I can't get the price below $33 either. No one has said what the magic combo is to get it to $20 though, I wonder why.

    You need to simultaneously purchase a debut release item.

    YES !! ... I'm having a lot mor eproblems with 4.14 than ever with 4.12. Stable software would be really nice. 

    You can try taking a page out of Daz's playbook and uninstall your characters.  Should make things run more smoothly.

    just use primitives and lights. I'm on it.  

    ...Cube 8 HD.

    I just can't get into Cube 8.  Cube 7 was much cuter.

    ...ah not up on most of the popular artists these days (yeah one of those Classical and old time Rock N Roll fuddy-duddies here).  I know the name, just never put it together with a face.  

    Oh and the Fantasy Morphing Cube, I remember that as well.

    I also was hoping for that, but the two bundles on my whishlist did show up during night time, and I missed those. I think the format is kind of "new", but that does not necessarily imply "good". Missing out bundles you would have actually bought adds a bit of frustration, at least in my case.

    Cube 8 lost a lot of character, the design feels just a little square. crying

    To be honest, I prefer Sphere 8. Talk about a well-rounded character ...

    The new shop software seems to be very reliable in that case. Exactly(!) every two hours, a new bundle is presented. So, you can expect a new bundle every even hour... next one in less than. 30 min from now.

    Did not help much for me, though. the only two bundles on my whishlist were on sale when I was asleep....

    Much appreciated. Thank you Daz gods for not putting this on sale in my sleep. Can't wait til I'm home this weekend and bring out the 16 year old KPop fan in me.  I for one am a happy camper. Hope the rest of you guys get the deal you want.

    With the Daz Deals browser add-on you can get an email notification whenever there's a change to Daz promotions.  I've been getting one every two hours each time a new bundle shows up.

    I can only recommend that. I have even whitelisted the tracking sites going with that plug-in. Ait and overdrawn deserve a fair share for their great work. BTW, why is that not part of the DAZ site already?

    ...to me old time Rock & Roll (as well as the Motown era) was the 50s up to about the mid 70s when disco began to peak here.  Particularly loved the old Mersey beat.
