    Interesting thing about that extra discount message, it reads: "Discount applies in Shopping Cart. Offer valid only for those it is presented to. Expires November 20, 2017 11:59PM MST (UTC-7)."

    I guess he was supposed to come out a few weeks ago, 'cause as it is, the offer expired a week before it's even been offered. :0

    Hmm, no message about it here. How much is the extra discount? Should it be more than 10%?

    One would think it would be 10% per already owned pro bundle ...but maybe it's only 5% per pro bundle?

    Compared to getting older bundles for free if you don't already have them, 5% is not that great a discount per already owned bundle.

    My message says it is for owning one of the previous Darius Pro Bundles but in reality I own both of them.

    I do, too. But I don't have a message, it's just the 10% discount that I'm seeing.

    I'd put in a support ticket and ask them - specifically because it says for owning "one" of the previous bundles - and like you said, you own two. Sounds like a glitch.

    If the free promo is really over, then... errr... what's the next step? This part of the game was never clear to me. I have collected all the items. Do I now write to customer support to claim my win?

    laughlaughlaugh

    Sorry, sleep deprivation. It's worse than being drunk, LOL. laugh

    Ati, you were truly amazing during all this insanity. Thank you so much for your hard work in keeping us updated on all the new freebies batches! :)

    Now go get some sleep, friend, before you fall over. *big hugs*

    I was going to say 'get some sleep before the next sale hits' but your way is kinder:-)

    Another sale? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo laughlaughlaugh

    Christmas sales. This Freebies gymkhana has only been a workout. cheekylaugh

    No discount on Darius 8 starter bundle although I have Darius 7 Starter bundle. I really like him and most of the bundle, but I just got an Amazon Echo Dot plus blue tooth speaker for $10 less than the starter bundle. I can't spend that kind of money anymore for digital assets (when I already have a ton!) New fastgrab items are nice though!

    i got the Monique 8 bundle for quite cheap when she came out - I didn't have an orange banner or anything, but I think it worked out cheaper if you bought two/three add ons as that took the total of the cart down a lot. I'm not seeing that happen with Darius 8. 

    I already have both D7 and D6, so I get a 10% extra discount (no banner, or message about it, it just gets that much cheaper in the cart). This is not convincing enough for me to buy him now.

    Weren't the previous Generation 8 characters 20% if you owned the previous ones?

    Generation 8 really does have great offers for new customers.

    Whoa, the Pro Bundle is only giving 10% off! A whopping $121.45

    Ok, after this loooong weekend of hoping on every four hours for some awesome freebies - I think I need to hibernate in bed for at least a day. Maybe two. lol

    Time to get some sleep. It's been an awesome ride! I only missed ONE of the batches of freebies.

    Thanks for those that kept me company at all hours of the day and night when I got on to check each new batch of goodies. heheh See you guys later after a lot of rest. :)

    I had a look at my order form for Monique 8 - the pro bundle cost about $35 cos i had two add ons in teh cart that brought hte price down. Darius 8 pro is twice that, so I will be passing on this one.

    I already have Darius 7 (not the Pro Bundle, just the character, since it was him I wanted lol).
    I prefer Darius 7 for the look he have instead of Darius 8.
    ​Anyway, Darius 7 seems be way more strong than Darius 8 !
    ​(I know that by adding HD Muscular morphs it will be strong enough but I didn't purchased Muscular morphs ^^)

    ​Also, I'm convinced he's (Darius 8) sort of worth as Monique 8 worth !
    But.. From now, I must waiting since I think, we may see some new ladies appears in few weeks ^^
    ​(I'm rendering many ladies, less guys, due to my needs and.. requirements for... what I signed :D)

    ​I want say, THANKS to all involved to grows up this topic, it was pretty excellent to follow you!
    ​(each of my questions have also been found an answer by one or two of you all! I didn't expected get an answer to my questions so quickly).

    ​Hope I will one day be able to help you back :)

    This is not a Good Bye, it's just a Good Night :D

  • So Darius 8, 7, 6 two new add ons and the D7 HD have been hanging out in my cart but I haven't actually purchased him yet because when I used my pc+ coupon at check out it only discounts $2.13 ?? Did I read that this is caused by the freebies in the cart? Do I buy and send in a ticket or is this something they will fix? This is the 1st time I have had a coupon left to use when buying the new 8 figure with the free bundles, and I know it's been a problem in the past but I don't remember what the answer is. lol 

    Off to bed, hopefully someone will work it out in the morning, Darius can hang out over night in my cart. :) 

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    coupon doesn't work correctly when there are freebies in cart. Take screenshot without coupon, and screenshot with coupon, then check out wiht coupon as normal, and send to support. Support will refund the amount of the coupon that didn't apply as store credit.

    I missed 5 of the freebies, partly because we had an overnight guest on Sunday, and partly because doing nothing more than tweaking my typical insomnia a bit to secure the earlier overnight freebies when I'd have been up anyway seems to have resulted in me getting a full eight hours sleep last night. I can't remember the last time this happened (easily five years ago) and I imagine it will be a long time before it happens again. So thanks for the freebies, Daz, and thanks for the unexpected kip, too. Priceless :)

    I haven't got any of the previous Darius models and so the current Darius would probably represent a good deal to me since the earlier Pro bundles are thrown in too. I haven't really looked too closely at him as I've spent a small fortune here already recently and Christmas is right round the corner as well. If I had cash to spare it would be going on Esha's texturing tutorials, but I've managed to resist them all weekend and I dare say I can harden my heart and resist Darius too. I evidently resisted him during versions 5 and 6, so it can't be that difficult. Noodles for Christmas dinner would probably be frowned on by everyone here laugh

    A few observations

    • Darius 8 looks much younger to me than Darius 7. Of the three generations of Darius, in my opinion Darius 7 is better looking and more realistic than the other two.
    • The Badlands Gladiator Outfit makes me think Daz and/or some PAs read my comments on skimpwear for the men and took seriously what was meant as sarcasm. If it weren't in the Pro bundle I just bought, I'd never buy it. As it is, I may go so far as to hide it in DIM.
    • The hair bundled with D8 looks far more realistic than hair bundled with D6 and D7.
    • IMO, Daz should consider putting figures by RedzStudio in the Pro bundle. Her Tyrone is the best looking male released today, (again, in my opinion.)  I also like Alexander, by VincentXyooj, a lot.

    Oh boy, I'm really impressed with Darius 8! I'm really kicking myself for spending so much in the sales, since I really can't drop 66$ for the bundle right now.. especially since I own almost every single piece for the 6 & 7 bundles (just not the bundles themselves, so no discount).

    I have to say though, I personally love the selection of clothes that are offered in this bundle! As was mentioned earlier, the clothes offer great variety for kitbashing (that coat, especially the texture pack are really well done). I also love that skimpwear (much prefer it over the skimpwear that came with Michael - it's actually flattering), and offers great singular pieces that can be used in other outfits! Ohhhh, if only I could get him now.

    I agree with @L'Adair about the RedzStudio figures - Tyrone is really incredible, probably my favorite gen8 male so far as well (at least from the promo pics).

  • Ah, back to Normal Time again... Can finally take a bit of a break.  Until the Christmas sales...

  • LeanaLeana Posts: 13,141

    Yeah - baby's due any time really.

    I didn't realize baby's arrival was so close... Congrats to the happy parents and big brother! (Seriously, 7 already? Those little things grow so fast...)

  • LeanaLeana Posts: 13,141

    The new Darius looks really good IMO :)

    I'm tempted by the Pro Bundle as I like a good number of the products included, but with Xmas coming (and lots of presents to buy) it's a bit too expensive for my taste, so I'll probably just get the base and maybe a few add-ons for now.

    I had a 10% off message for Darius last night, though I hadn't noticed the date.

    This morning, said offer is gone.

    Though I only own the Darius 6 pro bundle, so the 10% was correct for me...

    Still, even with the 10% off (and the Darius 7 pro bundle) Darius 8 is just a little too steep for my wallet right now... as has been the case with just about every Gen8 release.

    I'm going to back away from the sales for a while and digest what I got this weekend.
    With the glitch, it's going to take awhile.

    Wait a minute - what's everyone talking about?
    Sale says if you buy Darius 8 bundle, you get 6 and 7 for free.
    Plus some discounts if you do this-and-that. Pity I'm avoiding G8.

    Wow, that whole back-away-from-the-sales thing sure didn't last long, did it?

    If you already have the previous pro bundles, and thus can't get them for free now, Daz gives a discount on the current pro bundle. I think they started doing this with the G8 series.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 8,042

    I do not have any of the Darius 6 or 7 products in the pro bundles, so buying 8 would be great for me, but after the PC+ sale and the free stuff, I'm so tapped out that I won't be buying anything until next year .... wow, I spent way too much over the last couple months. Darius 8 is going to wait, unfortunately.

    Thanks for all the freebies, Daz! I managed to get at least 4 items I had on my wishlist!

    For me, the orange banner gives me 25% off since I owe D6 & D7. It says: "Our records show that you own two of our previous Darius Pro Bundles. As such, please enjoy an EXTRA 25% OFF the all-new Darius 8 Pro Bundle!"

    Still, I'm not quite tempted to get him, given most of the clothes aren't compatible with G3 and I'm going to remain with this generation for the forseeable future. I also (sadly) don't really have the time to spend trying to manually fit every piece of clothing from one generation to another (which is why I rely so heavily on products like: wear them all & control fit).

    That's interesting. I double-checked to see if I really have the D6 and D7 pro bundles, and I do. They both show up in my product library, yet it's only a 10% discount.

    Ah well, I think even with the extra 25%, it would be too high at the moment.

  • firewardenfirewarden Posts: 1,488

    Monique and Darius are the first DO figures to tempt me into trying G8. They and the characters for them are gorgeous! Gonna resist temptation, though, and stick them on the wishlist. I will grab them if I manage to convert all my G3 to G8 at some point.
