    "Dino" gives $15 off DO and if one has Member coupons, one can get an additional $6 off.

    Currently have 31 items in the cart for $50.48 at 93% off with 6 tokens.

    For anyone who wonders Gift card discount from today and "Moving" do not stack :P Would be probably the craziest gift card sale ever if it did :P

    Haha! I was about to test it out. Glad that I read your post first. I can't complaint though. I've already got a lot of store credit in the last couple of days thanks to that generous 30% discount offer.

    Congratulations, I guess, but that doesn't help others, unless you say what else you bought, whatever coupons you may have used, etc. to get that price.

    I was glad o see a reasonble gift card sale without buyins today. But it is of little use  because to get the higher discounts it takes away tokens. Grrr !!!

    But, one gets bigger discount on the gift card with the "Make everything move" 30% off the whole cart, even with buying 2 of the cheapest "Moving" New Releases

    I just put a $200 gift card in my cart and it would give me $60 for free and didn't reduce the number of tokens I was earning from the other items in the cart
    The two "Moving" New Releases are $8.50 together (with 6 tokens) and I have already bought one of them once before.

    Managed to resist buying yet another gift card and now it's too late to go to the (local) store to buy a prepaid Mastercard, so I'm saved at least until tomorrow morning blush

    Current cart has;
    Two “Weekend” New Releases
    Three “Dino” New Releases
    Two “Moving” New Releases
    The $6 off $18 Coupon
    Six tokens

    Cart has 44 items for $60.13 at 94% off (subtotal $926.26)
    Still leaves me about half of the free store credit I got from three previous carts cheeky

    Nine items are freebies
    Eight items are Daz+ $1.99 ("Weekend")
    The rest of the items are mostly from "Dino" Featured Artist Stores

    This actually is an attractive gift card offer. Although little of the new stuff in recent days is anything I need, with the new Ultrascenery dropping into the shop at any moment, I think I will take them up on the gift card offer.

    Yes, I know but that offer is likely to expire before the 20% discount offer. So it would have been nice to have it fixed on a DAZ workday instead of waiting for the weekend when likely there won't be anybody to fix it.

    It's probably a little sad that I still haven't figured out how to get the Ultrascenery packs I *have* to make what I want them to, and I was still perked at learning there was a new one dropping. 

    Ah well. Probably by the time I manage to figure out what I've got, the new one will have a good sale.

    You will still be able to use the ecologies and features you already own in the new UltraScenery2 if you want to.

    Oh whew... I spent probably way too much on all that considering I haven't been able to actually render anything with it yet (probably my issue, I am not super tech savvy). Hoping the new version is a little easier to set things up.

    Another AI generated banner. Was curious where I could get that top, then I noticed the "writing" on his neck.

    I suppose now that DAZ AI Studio exists there's even a kind of justification for this. Still... I don't love this.

    the sales make you crazy. buy 5 or 10 for 1.99...with purchase of a new item over a dollar...but it cant be a daz+ item for the buy in item. Get wish list items 50% off, but they cant be newer than 6 months. on and on. DAZ also needs to make the exclusionary text larger if its so damn complicated all the time. The banner ads always seem so inviting for the sales but when you read that fine print its not that great, unless you're spending a whole lot of cash.

    Me no likey. AI enhancement is one thing, but this is daz3D. I have no expectations that this will cease. It's been fun. "Good-bye to you, my faithless friend..."

    There is no reason to repeat that which you know so well. It's okay to say "not today."

    It's the way of things. AI services are also listed as alternatives to DS.

    Promo images are often gallery images, so the people picking them may not realise it was AI - especially if it was a good enough image for you to want the shirt.

    or even nothing - Daz isn't going to trawl forum threads for opinions when they get direct feedback from sales, though we can mention general themes to them.

    The picture was made using AI with a Daz Studio render as a starting poing, using one of the recently released Just Dance poses:

    True. Half the fun of forums is actually saying something, sometimes even when nothing needs to be said. cheeky

    there's a quote from some sage person stating that silence is acceptance.

    You can only really speak  by not purchasing, if they only look at sales figures.

    However, my cart showing some pretty decent savings. I have 24 items in my cart, a bunch of them are older than dirt free items, that actually look like a couple of them will be usable though. Then, with that dino deal a few days ago, I have 3 DO items that come out to zero somehow or another, none of which I need or will probably use, but free is free. One never kinows when you might need something. The wishist thing today is actually decent, however the choices today for new product for the buy-in are again nothing I need, but for for $7.88, a Colm Jackson character,  I have 5 wishlist items for under $2.35 each. $141.95 value for $9.87 + the 7.88 buy-in item. Then somewhere in there I bought two items that give 30% off the entire cart, and used my $6 DAZ+ coupon. Wow - pretty nuts, it is, but hey, nothing better than DAZ math on a Saturday morning over coffee. I bet I'm missing a way to get even more off. 

    How can I show that long cart as an image here?
