    Yeah, there's actually a number of new releases that came out when I didn't have a key item that I wanted, and when I had a key item, the new releases dropped to 20% and were not part of the buy 2 for an extra 10% off still mad section. I was hoping they'd all come back on the catch-up and for the original introductory price.

    I see a lot of items in the grab bag that look very tempting to me. Buy, don't buy... Still not sure. indecision

    I never did have a key item surprise, now that's madness! I guess that just confirms I don't buy much, but it also doesn't give me much incentive to buy more either. However, I may have to get another item or two in the grab bag laugh

    Yeah, unfortunately :( I wish all the new items would be back on sale too... 

    You've been such a great sport, and have had a wonderful attitude through MM it's very refreshing!! Not sure what it will be yet, but I'm going to make a point of it to get at least one of your characters (wish I could afford to get mere). You have a lot of really creative work, and some really interesting characters. Thanks for participating in the sale!!

  • I hope Daz extends this catchup. I don't get paid til tomorrow which means I can't buy much til then

    Bought 3 final things from the grab bag.

    It would have been easy to find 10 nice things but I'm not really in the mood to spend $30, I think I've spent enough this month! :)

    I think this March Madness was decent in the end... I mean, no comparison to last year. But also not as dire as it seemed at first.

    I relented an selected 10 Grab Bag items which took me all morning to go through the two thousand products to find ten that I might use. Then I was surprised to see that I could use my remaining DAZ+ coupon to get a further $6 off (I thought it wouldn't stack).

    Well, I ended up spending quite a bit, but all on gift cards or $2.99 items except one $4.99 new buy-in that I didn’t even need in the end. There were a few actually on my wishlist but others I never would have purchased at a higher price point so it was win/win for me and the PAs & DAZ. I didn’t get any DAZ Originals so I’ll have something to pick from when they give away freebies. 

  • So grabed my last batch of Mad Grab. That probably was it. Would probably have bought some additional new releases but those did not came back. Given that all Still Mad became 20% off afterwards I guess 20% will be the new standard. Well I don't bother. The current pricing will keep me from spending more the days to come I guess. Probably with the exception of Zev0's Brightness Manager which I might get anyhow.

  • IppotamusIppotamus Posts: 1,579

    Yes, can't believe the Newly Mad items from earlier are not back on sale for the catch-up.

    I guess I'll have to wait for 50% off down the road someday.  yes

    There is already a product in the store (on sale now) that can lighten surfaces, change surface color, saturate or desaturate surfaces, rotate surface textures, and much more. I don't know how much Brightness Manager will be similar or different, but I find the existing product, Xtreme Reshade, useful and fun to use. It might be worth a look. I don't think it has gotten the attention it deserves.

    Aw thanks! I still remember one of my first ever "march madness sales" at Daz after freshly discovering the wonders of 3d and Daz Studio.... I think I slept at my old computer desk so I could obsessively check new deals... I had barely any content back then and tried to get EVERYTHING.  I hope some of that excitement exists today :) I no longer harbor the remote illusion of "owning it all" but I do still remember the delight of the BEST SALES EVER!!!!!! and rushing to render after March Madness.  I just want everyone to have a bit of that glee, especially in today's somewhat stressful world of worries. I dive into art as a happier place to be and hope it gives you all a bit of happiness too. Happy March, and NO April Foolin here. :)

    ..well, ten minutes to "Daz Zero Hour". We'll see if the Ketchup is still flowing.

    They never change major sales in the middle of the week, do they? Heck, have they even declared "last chance" yet? And when has there not been a ***surprise*** extension (or two) after the end is declared? Only time will tell. Lots of things are changing lately. Maybe these traditions will change, too.

  • I haven't tried the product but the promos are cute ;-) Free in the cart.

    The sale is extended but not the catch-up. I have to wait till I get some money & was hoping it would go a little longer. I only do the grab bag & even that reluctantly because of the 10 item buy in. I really prefer not having a buy in. Daz is leaving a ton of money on the table.

    The promos are fantastic but what's really selling me on this are the material presets! I'm just imagining all the possibilities!

    Somehow $0.87 doesn't really feel like "half off" anything...

  • Oh! Some characters for you in fast grab- don't know if anything stacks, but -

    Hana, Keita (two semi anime style chars) and Olena and Siya are both in Fast grab, if you've missed them before! :)  My late contribution to the madness (happiness??)

    Thx. Will have a look. But will probably wait to see what Zev0's Brightness Manager has to offer.

    @Wonderland  @Rod Wise Driggo I'd just like to "me too" re: spending out at the end there. I've also used up my vouchers for April in a bid not to come back for a couple of months.

    On the plus side some great buys towards the end. Can't wait to get playing with them all e.g. $9.44 for https://www.daz3d.com/ireal-animated-ocean-water-system "water" bargain! I thought I'd "splash out" etc etc.

    Well, I never thought that Daz would entice me to spend more than I did in last year's March Madness, but Qube has now put me $5,400 ahead of what I spent last year. Hard to pass up a 44% discount, though!

    *Update: Welp, now I'm $5,736 over... I mean, who can say no to a banana suit?

  • Okay, so who got the Qube, and who's does something with it?

    Here's my attempt: Raiders of the Lost Qube
