    Strange. I couldn't seem to attach a screenshot. Tried two different file formats and two browsers. Then magically.

    In any event, on the Festival page it shows the items that are part of the Brute 8 sale under a 40% Off header (which applied cumulatively yesterday) but many of the items in the lists aren't even at 40% Off. That would account for the sudden jump in price.

    Reported.

    The items had a bigger (40%) discount yesterday because of the all-PA discount store-wide, their actual "thing" is the $30 off with the Brute 8 bundle offer (and soem may have additional discounts if they are from one of today's featured PAs).

    any way you slice it, a cart that jumps from 45.00 to 157.00 overnight is not probably not going to proceed to checkout.  mine surely isn't.

    Thanks!

    I was pretty sure that was at least part of it. I was just too exhausted last night to realize there was serious discount stacking going on. I’m trying to curb my sleep-deprived impulse buying.

    That still doesn’t really explain the header on the PA Festival page, right above the three categories for the Brute 8 sale. It still reads “Featured Daily Special - 40% OFF!” Is it a remnant of yesterday’s sales page? They should probably remove it, if they’re not going to enforce the discount. It’s comically sloppy when all the items below it are at 30% off. (It’s getting to the point where clairvoyance is necessary to interpret the intent of the sales team.)

    Brute 8 today was a surprise. This is the first time I can recall Daz releasing two Base Figures during the PA Festival. (Of course, the old gray matter ain't what it used to be…)

    Sorry to report that the gray matter loses - last year both Teen Josie 8 and Stephanie 8 appeared during the PA Sale. And in 2016 both Sunny 7 and Lilith 7 appeared. (I keep a long history of screenshots going back to about 2014 - yes I'm a terrible hoarder!)

    External Memory! (Oh how I wish I could upgrade the old gray matter like I can the RAM in my computers! lol)

    So what about March Madness and the PC Anniversary sales? Does Daz release only one base figure in either or both of those sales? If so, that may be the source of my confusion. (If not… well, I don't want to think about that!)

    This year'a March Madness had Aiko 8 and Ollie 8.
    Last year PC Anniversary included Lucas 8 and Monique 8.
    So it looks as if 2 bundles per major sale is the recent average, but there didn't use to be so many Pro Bundles per generation so maybe one (or even zero) used to be the norm - I'll have a scan through my "older records" when I get the chance.

    Featured Daily Specials not 40% discounted...at least not for me.

  • PixelPiePixelPie Posts: 373

    Im a bit confused (maybe its too early) it says: "This is BIG: Get up to $90 OFF your entire purchase PLUS every Artist on sale!" - does every Artist on sale only apply if you haven't bought brute 8?  I don't see every Artist on sale today

    Every artist from the sale so far--I think.

    Well, when I purchased Brute the day it came out on the 18th, literally everything in my wish list was on sale, now, it is not.  So I guess it is only those artists listed on that page?  Before there was a A-Z catalogue of Artists. So I guess the: "PLUS every Artist on sale!" this is misleading.  Maybe it only shows up if you don't have Brute in your library?

    I think the every artist may be an error, copying over from the release day - I certainly don't see a global sale

    'weapons and warfare' items from the brute sale offer that appeared as free in my cart yesterday are appearing at a 61% discount today.

    j

    My cart was sitting about $57.00, when I next checked it was over $170.00, I emptied my cart. Will fill it up again if the discounts still apply - not everyone can buy things in a 24 hour time frame.

    Yeah, the Brute $30 off special seems to be broken.  I just checked my cart as well.  I guess the reason could be if the mid month catchup is over.  But, I don't know why that would apply to the featured items on the Brute flyer.  I thought the point was to get the kind of deal you would usually  get with the free Pro Packs from the previous character sales.

    Yes, with the end of the mid month catchup  many of the items you could apply the $30 off  to lost much of their discount. So, while you can still get the $30 off, it takes fewer items to reach the $30 mark.

    Along with the list of vendors is a Featured People & Wearables Bundles category. These listed items qualify for the same discounts as the Featured Artists. However, there are a dozen "New" items in the list, and additional discounts are not applying to them.

    Daz needs to remove the "New" products from the list, or change the code so the discounts apply., whichever is the original intent.

    Well, it was a $140 cart jump for me. Kind of took all the spending wind out of my sails...err...sales...lol Hard to get excited about the discount as it stands.

    Most other times, it can pay to wait a few days before jumping on a pro bundle. But during this PA sale, same day seemed to have been best.

    Ah, but don't forget if you get it on the first day and a better offer comes along within 30 days, you can always repurchase and return your original order.

    at night i was wishlisted, now i get up and it's all back to full price

     

    haha

    Ugh. Today I want, for the first time in this sale, literally ALL debut items... Unfortunately, most will go in my wishlist. Culling out PAs who have sales often  so I can buy it later at the same or more likely, better price. But some I can really use now.. Dilemmas...

    Would prices be at a super low by the end of this month? just wishing...

    I'd be surprised if you see any prices lower this month than what you've already seen with this event. The big draw of the PA Festival is getting new releases at 50% off, (with two or more qualifying items, of course,) and PA stores going on sale that seldom. if ever, get included in the daily promos throughout the year. Other elements of the sale tend to vary from year to year. This year there are the older generation categories that get extra discounts.

    So far the lowest I had seen was the 80% off Daz Horse Pro Bundle. But it came with a new release purchase. Even the 1st Gen is still pricey, instead of being culled or offered at the lowest.

    I might have missed Brute 8 (there were only a couple of items that I really wanted), but now have Toon-Generations 8 which I definately did want, can only afford so much with my hobby budget. Off to play with new goodies !!
