But what was it?  Whatever it was it’s been taken down and the curiosity is KILLING ME!

It’s still there. The wonderful and incomparable
TEST PRODUCT!
*cue heroic music and swooning damsels*

aRGH!!  When I click the link it says nothing to see here, move along folks or words to that effect lol.  Maybe only some people can see it *flicks paranoia switch on*.

Here’s what we all see. Probably what you see. We are having a bit of a laugh at it - this is not a serious thread.

Haha cool as!  I thought I was missing out on something fantastic then

May I ask… How on earth did that (what ever the heck it is supposed to be) appear in the store? Very unprofessional.

On a passive note… It is certainly a bargain! Cant get the daz logo for a cheaper price in this economy!

after I wishlisted it and logged in, the sale price dropped to $5,999 so it is indeed a Daz original 40% off.

...since its a Daz original I finally had something to use my October PC coupon on.

...and as long as I load the pp2, version it even works in Studio 1.7, just need to tweak the shaders a bit.

Yeah, but will it work in Poser 2, Bryce 4, Vue 6.5, Reality 2, and Carrara 3??  Because, you know, it simply isn’t worth buying if it isn’t supported across ALL platforms.  And, while we’re at it, I really should start a ruckus over whether Poser is better than DS.  I definitely should gripe that this is a GENESIS product, which leaves Poser users in the dust AGAIN.  And Bryce still doesn’t support Genesis—like, how stupid is it that Daz doesn’t include functionality for its premiere product in its own software?? Someone needs to develop plugins AND python scripts to make this all work seamlessly.  And Hexagon has been forgotten.  I don’t know what that has to do with Test Product, but it’s always worth saying.

Besides, there isn’t enough content to go with Test Product yet.  Since Daz didn’t make my Victoria 1, Freak 3, Genesis Anubis and Hiro 4 clothing work on Test Product, I’m going to wait and see if a CrossDresser license comes out.  And I won’t buy it if there aren’t NGMs for it, because the planet-sized boobs are only REALISTIC when they have that true-to-life saggy look.

I’m telling you, this place is falling apart.

Okay, It’s obvious that someone didnt hack the store then… What is this?????????? I dont understand what they are doing here. Please you all seem to know something that I dont

well no-one so far is game to actually buy it (at that price the bank transaction fee and paypal conversion fee, if returning would be a dettering factor)
it is obviously priced to discourage purchase like April fool items etc.

I also have insufficient funds in my paypal linked bank account to test it!!

edited to add, and if I did, I would be hit with an overdraw fee!!

Wellllll, as it is a DO, they really could put it up for 1.99 $ during the PC sale. *sniff*

Spyro: Daz3d is testing something, nobody knows what (probably even Daz doesn’t know) and we, we are having fun.

SEE???  There’s a PC version that’s cheaper!!  I want my money back!  Thank goodness for the 30-day refund policy…

How does no one know what it is if people are testing it? How would daz not know what it is if they uploading it? I SO CONFUSED lol Also what’s with the price?

Daz puts dummy items in the store sometimes.  These were obviously meant to test the new website.  Others come out on April Fools day. 

Examples:  (Links in the threads below won’t work because they link to the old store, but you can read about them.)

We use these products to poke fun at all the ridiculous things that happen at Daz—specifically in the forums.

Daz makes the prices ridiculous so nobody buys them.  They don’t exist.

so there is NO item, its a ghost product used by admin to see that their site is working?
