    What a shock, I still don't have Antheia from the Old Gods Bundle, 5 Days Later... and now it's the 6th of September and I don't have the Mystery Bag contents either.

  • And then.

    If they are working "9 to 5", little over 3 hours still before there is anyone but the hamster present.

  • Probably redundant but... I also do not have my Mystery Grab Bag items at 8:30 (East Coast time) on the day after.

  • You are not the one. I'm wait for it but i find nothing in Daz central or DIM.

    Add me to the list of those 'still waiting'.

  • I don't know if the 3D printing licenses are still being added, if so they may be having an impact on the speed at which other things can be added. Clearly the process has been started, whether those of you who lack the files are actually missed or just not yet updated we will ask.

    To aid in your troubleshooting, I paid for the gab bag with store credit.
    Not that your automatism overlooks that.

    That submarine looks better than I thought it will. It's not super-steampunk to the point where it limits the vehicle to this particular genre.

     

    Not a smashing success with the execution, though. Still waiting here. Submitted a ticket with the order number just in case. Because it looks like there's a lot of accounts to update and things could be forgotten.

    Me neither... This is getting ridiculous now.

    No items for me yet either.

    Took a gamble on the mystery bag, and based on the comments of people who have already received the items I'm happy with the value. But for Daz to promise to deliver the items on a certain day, knowing it's a federal holiday, and not deliver (with DIGITAL items no less) or update the buyers is a pretty crappy move and a deterrent to participating in something like this again.

    Also no items for me.

    @DAZ Staff - any information on that? Is someone working to fix that?

    First off all hope that the folks still waiting for the products will receive them soon.

    Since I had time to take a closer look, here's a - very personal - review of things:

    # General
    Don't know if I would go for another Mystery Bag. The execution had and obviously still has it's flaws. Whereas I have the products in my library the thing still feels incomplete as there are no product pages and readme-pages available yet. I know that those will follow once the products will be released standalone. But I am just used to the promos for a quick assessment of potential usages so I miss this. Regarding the info I would have probably not purchased knowing only the fact that a product from Allesandro_AM and xtrart-3d is included. The listing and non-working links on the product page (showing that a Mousso figure is included) plus that ArtStation-link to Eve from daveyabbo sold me. As said. Knowing only about two artists probably would not have been enough.

    # Single products

    1. MSO Lacey HD for G8.1F by Mousso
    $3 for a Mousso girl is always well spent. Being a DAZ original she will probably be released for less than $10 bucks but that one is a winner for me.

    2. Asymetric Strap Suit for G8F G8.1F by Lyrra Madril
    The library picture does the product no justice. I would have probably not bought standalone but getting it for $3 is absolutely fine.

    3. PVC Latex Shaders by Atenais
    Atenais shaders are always well made. And the Non-DAZ+ ones are usually costing. So $3 is fine, even if those shaders would be a DAZ+ product. Only thing is that I already own a lot of PVC and Atenais products from Rendo. But hey, one cannot have everything.

    4. Architectural Glass by Atenais
    Same as 3. Do have various Glass shaders already. But the product is absolutely solid IMO.

    5. One outdoor lounge by bituka3d
    I don't buy that much environments. Have some from bituka3d, mostly bought as DAZ+FAD. This one is quite nice and comes with several cameras and options. Would have liked that fountain in the pool to be a prop but it can be hidden in surfaces as it seems. Also a bargain for $3.

    6. X-Fashion dForce Sleeveless Outfit for G8F and G8.1F
    Nice 3-pieces outfit with pressure morphs for bra and panty. I do not like those breakout things but it is the new normal. The product itself is nice and also $3 very well invested.

    7. Steampunk Submarine SeaMaid by colorcat
    This was actually a nice surprise. Had no high hopes but the sub looks nice, comes with a water plane, cameras and also some poses. Plus one can do nice interior renders as well. A very promising first product for colorcat and another $3 well spent.

    8. Earth Wyrm HD Original Figure by Sixus1 Media
    I am no big fan of Original Figures I have to say. But this one looks good and comes with quite some poses. As the name says the Wyrm is always connected to it's hole in the earth. So one cannot use the figure easily in other surroundings but it might be useful in some scenarios.

    9. Baboon by Allesandro_AM
    I already have the Orang and the Chimp. The Orang I bought heavily discounted but definitely >$5 so getting an animal from Allesandro for $3 is definitely a steal for me. Baboon comes with 2 fur colors. Fur can be applied as body wearable preset and as Baboon is G8M one can also use it to make good old Michael 8 a one-click Yeti ;-)

    10. Eve 3022 by daveyabbo
    Own 14 of 16 daveyabbo products at DAZ so I might be a bit biased here. Even as DAZ originals daveyabbos products are >$5 - and this is two months after release and with a heavy discount. So $3 at launch? No need to say more.

    All in all I am happy with the set. Whereas I have to say that I would have probably only bought 3-4 products right at release once <$10 per product. That brings me back to knowing or not knowing what is included. Without the listing of the product names I would have probably passed spending those $30 rather on 2-3 new releases or 5-6 older products from my wishlist. In the end it is not 10 for $3 each but rather for example 6 for $5 each depending on how many of the products one is really using.

  • It's 33+ hours after DAZ said I should have the items in my account and I still don't. If nothing else sours me on the concept, this alone will prevent me from ever purchasing a mystery bag again. At this point, if I don't have it soon, I might as well open a refund ticket and try my luck since my plan had been to spend the holiday yesterday playing around with the stuff anyway.

  • I will never buy one of these again still no content for me

    Thanks for that review.

    That ArtStation-link to Eve from daveyabbo sold me too.

    It triggered the checkout button.

    Now I only need some download links

    Honestly, except for the Baboon, it all looks suspiciously like stuff that would have otherwise been weekly freebies or DAZ+ items, and if these items show up as either folks will have a right to be irritated.

  • I don't have received anything yet.

    I would have expected to receive at least some official information about the content on time.

    Regardless of content, value and usability, this sloppy execution makes sure I won't go for another mystery bag in the future.

  • Some of the items look great, but unfortunately I have not recived any contents. I have put in a refund resquest, this was a paid item and it was not delivered as discribed and is unacceptable. You shouldnt be taking money if you cant deliver, this isnt kickstarter, these are digital items. I suggest if you have not recevied your grab bag yet to request a refund as well, its the best way to ensure this doesnt happen again.

  • Haven't received anything yet either; I don't buy stuff  in order to open tickets to get it. I don't know what in the world they're thiking, but the one thing they made sure of with this offer is that I'm not touching another deal that doesn't add the items to my library the moment I pay for them.

  •  I mean... I'm trying to be outraged, but I was expecting something like this to happen.

     

    Something tells me that future deals of this kind might not be very successful, though. An average person tends to remember the bad more easily than the good.

    The timing here was very bad. Labor Day and all... Something like this was bound to happen. Too much reliance on automatization as well.

    Same here. And I would be willing to bet quite some other buyers had the same expectation.

    But I am not convinced that another mystery grab bag would be a total failure. People tend to forget, or are tempted by the offer. And, of course, "they had the issue last time. They will have learned, they will not make the same mistake again."

    And then: gotcha. You are in again.

    Will the same thing happen? Likely. It did happen before. E.g the Demigod series should have "earned" you a bonus character added on Sep 1st. Was it? No. It was only added on Sep 2nd, and not to all qualifying customers, even until today, as quite some forum entries suggest.

    Given the poor execution, I'd at least want a list of the contents or a list of the artists in advance.
    I can handle not seeing images for now, mostly because the artists involved are artists who have released a variety of things that I found useful, and because I do find more than half of the contents of the mystery bag useful. But, depending on the quality of future mystery bags, that might change as well, which would mean I'd not be interested in these things at all anymore, no matter the massive discount. It's certainly a type of promotion that shouldn't be used too often. Once a month is probably already too much.
