    Wow, that was the fastest fastgrab I've ever seen. It was ... what, like 15 minutes? :)

    Anyway, new items in fastgrab. ;) http://www.daz3d.com/fast-grab-3d-models/

    What's happening with Fast Grab. There was a bunch of new items then some disappeared and were replaced with a couple of others. For example, there was a kind of examination chair but it has gone now.

    It's a Blink-and-you-missed-it Sale.

    Probably DAZ made a mistake and then corrected it. One possibility is that they noticed that some of the items in FastGrab were also in an artist's catalog that's currently on sale. Being in both FastGrab and an artist sale might have produced stacking discounts that would lead to the items selling for ridiculously low prices, which isn't fair to the artist.

    Well, the items currently there can help build your arsenal. :D *hint hint*

    They're rather pointed hints. You could put someone's eye out with those if you're not careful...

    Pity. The chair looked interesting. The one I've used before is showing it's age - I mean the one from the West Park Treatment Room.

    It's by Perry Walinga, who occasionally has stuff in Fastgrab -- the jumbo jet currently in Fastgrab is one of his, apparently swapped in to substitute his private jet and the chair -- so maybe you'll get another chance. I think I've also seen his stuff in artist's sales.

    In the early version of FG that I saw the Jumbo jet was already there along with the Treatment Chair and the Private Jet. Then the Treatment Chair and the Private Jet disappeared.

    ETA: @ Marble - There is an Iray version of the West Park Chair available: http://www.daz3d.com/west-park-treatment-room-iray

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll add that next time I need to stack with a PC+ item. Now all we need is a clinically clean IRay version of that room and equipment. smiley

  • There is also this freebie dental chair: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/?item_id=67763

    Looks like Fastgrab is changing over again, but prices aren't quite there yet. They are now:: http://www.daz3d.com/fast-grab-3d-models/

  • Beware, contains PC+ items costing extra for members.

    Something odd started happening. I click on the Fastgrab banner and the page opens and, for an instant, there are items on view which then disappear. Yesterday it was the baby elephant. Today I noticed a product called ParameTricks. I don't own either. If I search the store, I find the product is indeed at FastGrab price.

    This is Chrome for Windows with the DAZ Store add-on.

    Those are Poser-only products that are hidden because you said in the addon options that you are not interested in Poser-only items.

    You Probably have the Add On configured to filter out Poser only items. The two you named are Poser only.

    Ahh - I see. Thank you.

    Oh man! I got lucky - I managed to snag the SimTenero Randomizer right before it changed. With the "Bonus Buyer" banner discount I managed to get it for $5 something - awesome! I've been wanting that for ages. Got it just in time. *whew*

    That was one of the items I got, too. :) And the memory thingie the other, even though I'm not really doing iray yet. But it's nice to get ready. :) (Yeah, I know, I'm way behind everyone in this regard... :))
