    She sure is! Absolutely adorable. Love the three types of brows and her glasses are the crowning touch. Lara is definitely my favorite of Thorne's latest girls.

    Grumble.  The new Tank-SU76 is mis-labeled.  An SU76 is a self-propelled gun, not a tank.  Biggest tell is that there's no turret.

    Yep self propelled gun not a tank

    Most civvies don't know the differance all they see are gun+tracks= tank

     

    I've read a lot of documents and stories from the WWII about this self-propelled gun, it is admissible to talk about it as a "tank" like they've done even if it has no turet. I hesitated a lot but "Tank" is somewhat everybody can understand easy and it has less letters than "Self propelled gun". Sorry if I hurt somebody.

    No problems 

    We always refered to them as SP's or SPG's when I served

    Just inway of explanation the difference between the two is that an SPG is an artillery piece like a Howitzer and generally unable to fire on the move the way  a tank does

    I did pick it up today and am looking forward to using it

    Never served myself, just familiar with the trope Tanks, but no Tanks.  My first thought on seeing it was 'tank destroyer' actually - had to look it up to tell it was an SPG.  But I love the look and all those movement morphs.  My renders these days are medieval or space, but when I come back to modern-ish I'll probably pick it up.

    New biweekly freebies are up but they aren't showing as free.

    Edit: This has now been fixed

    Yep, most people just call any armored vehicle as a tank. Same situation with normies calling any overgrown lizard as a dragon. They don't know the difference between a dragon, wyvern, drake or wyrm.

    Okay, so I got a new 10% off coupon/offer. DAZ really wants me to buy the Mika 8 pro bundle.

    GCs at 32% off. ' Guess that's been the best so far this season.

    A little bit off-topic for this thread, but I know the mods look in here for store glitch reports...

    The Eyebrows Collection for Genesis 8 Male(s), released today:

    https://www.daz3d.com/eyebrows-collection-for-genesis-8-males

    seems to be tagged in the store as a female item. Indeed, if you browse down the blue header bar - 3DModels . People . Genesis 8 People . Male - it doesn't show.


    But hey, "female", maybe it's a way of increasing sales. wink

    No kidding. Just got one the other day for 24% off, might have to jump on that one again since i got my tax refund in.

    Yeah, it's brilliant: with all available discounts and coupons you can get the masks, the Zeddicuss facial expressions, Morena Hair and Hair Colors, (inexpensive-ish four items needed to trigger discounts) and a $300 gift card for like $250. Unfortunately, don't have $250 lying around, especially since we can't use existing store credit on an order with a gift card.

    Or.. they're so used to the keystrokes to mark something female because male things are rare.....

  • thistledownsnamethistledownsname Posts: 1,336

    Wow... I'm gonna go for that 32%off... The question is how much to put into it.  It's an investment that can keep giving for months to come...

    The beauty of today's coupon is that it not only extends the GC discount to 32% but also discounts the overhead cost of new items by 10% thereby increasing the margin of benefit. Of course, the associated x-morphs GC sale has already been here for 5 days now. Not sure how long that gonna last.

    That's my thinking also. I have been here for 11 years and I know I will spend money over time and I have it in my account to get a nice size GC, but when I see it in lump sum, it makes it harder to spend, LOL The bigger the amount, the bigger the GC discount and the more free items I get

    Well, if you're not at risk of going over the edge with your finances, get as much as you can. The way I see it, if you're going to spend it anyway, why not get a substantial discount? I notice, too, that after a couple of weeks I forget about that built-in discount when using store credit, so I don't go overboard with the spending, thinking "Well, I only paid 70 cents on the dollar for that anyway, so let's get some more!" The total is still in real dollars, and that's how I budget. (Budget. Ha!)

  • maikdeckermaikdecker Posts: 3,037

    I too got that " extra 10% off" coupon... too bad there is a "2nd week, different items 60-70-80% off" sale at some other shop right now...

    But hey, tomorrow there's the next "new PC+" sale coming, and 10% off is 10% off, even if it's only 20 cent on $ 1.99 (which still might fit in my budget)

    I'm lovin' that 'As Good as it ever was' sale..

    As for the gift card sales that are still running, plus the coupons, well now you guys have me seriously considering banking some more store credit with another gift card purchase now...

    BTW, thanks again to Jenn for crediting me the difference on the gift card sale that was partially broken earlier but is now fixed.

    I'd say that should last me a few months, but I said that the last time I banked some credit, and it didn't even last me a month... so now I'm afraid of 'jinxing' it.

    I hear you. Mentally, I can't break myself of the store credit=free money tic, so I try to only buy it when the triggers are stuff I really want (the Gatchaman style outfit from Joe Quick, for instance, or Dante 7 last spring.)

    The green banner used to hide an orange banner. Now it hides a blue banner.

    No wonder the prices have gone up!  wink

    Was it just on my end, or was the store down for like two hours for other people too?

    I don't know if it was two hours, but yeah it was down for me around switch-over time.

  • AtiAti Posts: 9,182

    It was down for about an hour for me.

  • y3kmany3kman Posts: 825

    I honestly thought we were getting a new base figure since the website (store and forum) was down for almost two hours.

    Mika was released last week, so that would have been quite surprising. The site was probably down for some maintenance.
