    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.

    Sadly, I agree. This reflects poorly on DAZ both in terms of its software QA and testing chops and its commitment to excellent customer service. To be clear, I am quite frankly more disappointed in DAZ for failing to own their mistake with some manner of communication to those who purchased the bundle; whether that be an apology or a statement acknowledging the problem and assurance they are working on a solution. This is basic Customer Service 101 stuff, folks. Otherwise, I am completely underwhelmed by the content in the mystery bag and will most likely avoid future "surprises".

  • Glad but also disappointed to see I'm not the only one still waiting to receive the items from the grab bag. Currently 09/06 2:21pm est
  • Daz is (painfully) aware that not everyone has received the content as they should have and is looking into the problem. I don't have any timeline for a fix, but you have not been forgotten.

    I haven't bought the bag, so I'm not directly concerned, but I feel very sorry for all the disappointed people on the one hand, and then for Richard and Frank on the other, who're left out here to take the blame. Cannot be such a major 'pain' to the company people if they cannot even be bothered to do their apologizing themselves, can it ...

     I do hope everyone'll get their stuff real soon now, and still have fun rendering with it nevertheless.

  • I did not buy the mystery grab bag. Now that I know the contents (thank you for the pictures and reviews), I probably should have. Does the baboon require LAMH2 Iray Catalyzer? Can the fur be used as a wearable preset to G8 males without using catalyzer?

  • The disheartening part in all of this is that this is the 3rd time this same thing has happened in two / three weeks.

    I really hope this gets worked out and doesn't just keep happening for all the buy now, get later sales.

    lol - you said that for the last stack sale when some of us were forgotten, and it only took me 3 weeks to get my discount. Um, thanks?

    I'm not home so I can't check DIM but I see the items listed in my product library. I like and can use most of it except the submarine, worm thing and baboon. The baboon looks nice but I'm just not sure how I'll use it. I think I already have some similar worm thing and I've never used it. Can't see ever finding use for the submarine. I have no idea what the glass thing is. The Mousso girl looks great, no disappointment there. I have several items very similar to Eve from the same PA but I do a lot of sci-fi so that's fine and it looks great. The outfit is confusing because it says it's a sleeveless dress and I see an image of a nice sexy red sleeveless dress as the outfit but I also see an image of a weird long sleeve white lace long dress that is listed as the breakout item for the dress and is labeled sleeveless but is long sleeved. Did they use the wrong image for the sleeveless dress? I really hope we are getting the sleeveless red dress and not the long sleeved white lace dress.

    All in all, I'm not disappointed .Pretty much what I expected. The submarine is probably the only thing I wouldn't have ever purchased even for $1.99. 

    The glass is a set of Architectural Glass shaders

    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 thought that, too. The only thing I like is the baboon, and IDK what I'm going to do with it.

    Would not say that. First I cannot recall the weekly freebie not being a plant ;-) Second you never had daveyabbo-Morphs as DAZ+, nor Mousso girls, nor Xtrart-3d clothing, nor bituka environments etc. There have been similar DAZ+ products to those PVC and Glass shaders but not from the artist involved.

    I put in a help ticket 8 hours ago, at 8AM. I have gotten no product. I did get an auto-generated email when I submitted the ticket, it said " Based on current ticket volume, please allow 3-4 business days for a response to your ticket request."

    Excellent customer service Daz, wouldn't you say?

    F that, submitting a refund and remembering why I haven't shopped here for a couple years.

    Yeah!!!! Thanks for the encouragement to check one more time lol ... Everything is there and now downloaded!!!

    Thank you Daz3D :-)

    Downloading now.

  • All there but still not showing the 3d Print license on the individual items. CS has said it was solved twice and I have just informed them for the third (fourth counting original ticket submission) that no it is not as they are still missing

  • Got 'em (finally). Everything seems decent enough, with some especially nice standouts, except Steampunk Submarine - which should have been called Toon Submarine from the look of it. But that's the nature of the grab bag - some hits, some misses, based on individual taste. Not knocking the product itself - it's probably fine for those who want that sort of thing.

    I'd say the grab bag is less bang for buck than I'd get from a typical cart selected from the better clearance sales but is still a decent value. Satisfied enough now that the products have been delivered.

    Received all the items early on it seems, and  I'm satisfied with most of the items.  Glad to see others are now receiving their orders.  I know how annoying things can get here.

    Though I have a question:  Will each item have its own product page?

    Could be.  The actor who played the main caveman in those Geico commercials is now playing Herman Munster in the new MUNSTERS film from Rob Zombie, and the while the original teaser trailers looked promising, the overwhelming consnsus on the final trailer is that it's not looking so good.
