The deals with the purple banners were way too good to pass up! I ended up with 3 G8 Pro bundles plus a ton of other deals for $45.
I'd suggest opening a customer service ticket noting that you 'missed' the part about the second bundle. I've made a similar mistake on a past sale, and CS was nice enough to add the missing item to my library. In my case it was a HD morph that was supposed to be free with the bundle, but the concept is the same.
Sure, you are probably looking at some old G2 bundle, but can't hurt to ask! I actually get pretty good mileage out of my G2 bundles. As characters go, Aiko 6 is probably my favorite!
soo...
on the other hand
Result: no buy...
Oh, and as a fun fact for all the Ollie critics: Ollie was an instant buy for me and is one of my most mixed in figures...
Three Pro Bundles for less than USD 60, which is less than the unmodified Dain 8 Pro Bundle price? With three add-ons for Dain included? And plenty other stuff for free?
This was what I call an offer, though the purple bar helped immensely.
Dain 8 Pro Bundle
Bouncer Outfit Textures
Kalen for Dain 8
Brave Life - Expressions for Genesis 8 Male and Dain 8
Mei Lin 8 Pro Bundle
Ivan 7 Pro Bundle
Iray Glass Shaders for DAZ Studio
Aged Metals for Iray
DAZ Studio Iray HDR Interiors
Blunderbuss and Poses for Genesis 3 and 8 Male(s) and Female(s)
Asian Accessories for Genesis 8 Female
Dueling Swords
My Human Poses and Expressions for Genesis 8 Male(s) and Female(s) and the DAZ Dog 8
Mixable Expressions for Sanjay 8 and Genesis 8 Male(s)
Kylie for Alexandra 8
Lyam Bob Hair for Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 Female(s)
Wild Winds Hair with dForce for Genesis 8 Female(s)
I like the looks of Kalen character (he looks quite different from the usual template) and I was happy to get Kylie character too, as Alexandra 8 is one of my most favourite core figures. I also finally got Mei Lin, and as a free bonus at that. Yay! Now I just need some huge free time sale or giveaway to actually put all my content to good use. *sighs*
Thank you DAZ.
There are Ollie critics? I thought he was awesome, might have been the first G8 bundle I bought.
Oh my God, I didn't notice the free G8 pro bundle part of the purple banner. I'm going to have a REALLY hard time choosing.
I will admit, I'm somewhat puzzled as to why they didn't use the the main promo image from Bouncer Suit Textures as the main promo for the Bouncer Suit itself. Looking at the two of them, it seems pretty obvious that (a) despite the fact that it isn't mentioned anywhere in the (mostly nonexistant and what the heck is up with that?) product ad copy itself, the suit is designed for dForce, and (b) for the main promo, they didn't dForce it, which means it turns into clingwrap. (Seriously, what is up with this release? Hardly any ad copy, few if any promo images for each pro bundle product, some of the images that exist are ... not the best ... if they're trying to test out a New Minimalism for Product Pages, all I can say is:
Don't like it a'tall.)
You can choose two (which doesn't make it any easier); basically the "pick your G8/G3/G2 bundle" link in the purple banner is an alternative to the "pick your G3/G2 bundle" link on the promo page. With a purple banner you get an additional free bundle so you can pick one from each link...or you can pick two from a single link. Unless there's something in the older bundles you were dying to own, two G8 bundles is probably a better value.
Hm, the bouncer poses have a lot of clipping with Dain. They don't have one for G8 and one for Dain and where Dain is beefier, it's going to take a bit of tweaking which is a bit frustrating. I thought it was usual for the pro packs pose sets to be made specific for the new character's shape if they have it in the title?
I opened up a ticket. I only use G8 nowadays, but folks here were saying they were getting two G8 bundles for free. Hopefully they'll be decent and help me out considering how much I spend.
The guy looks great, some of the hair is fantastic, but most of the include clothes in the Pro Bundle is useless. It looks like that you can't seperate the vest from he shirt or the dropleg from the pants in the Mercanery Outfit. So no need for the shirt and the rest of this outfit in other than military scenes. And none of the clothes or hair comes with dForce. Are these leftovers from pre-dForce times?
... and no purple banner for me too.
I missed the G8 bundle in the purple banner as well, and now I've deleted the banner. Can anyone tell me what G8 bundles were in it? If there's anything I particularly wanted I might try contacting sales support to see if I can get it. Thanks.
That is incorrect. The vest and shirt are separate and the dropleg and pants are separate as well. I think it is a very nice set with poor promos.
Ciao

Looks like it's all of them, so far as I can see.
Yes for G2 and G3 I have eithr all or the parts I wanted :)
Purple banner : "Because we appreciate your loyalty with your previous purchases of Genesis 8 Pro Bundles"
I own 8 Pro Bundles (Monique 8 and Michael 8 were free)
I like the look of Dain but I have to say that it is great to see such a fantastic set of deals on a male character. As others have said, with the purple banner offers this is a bargain.
Thanks very much, I've put in a ticket as there are a couple I would've liked.
"Manu for Genesis 8 Male(s) is youthful, lean, and handsome, but his athletic physique is just a bonus to his down-to-earth personality."
I am still shaking from laughing! "Youthful!" - "Lean!" - "Handsome!"
Maybe the text is from a Tinder profile.
This would explain the exaggerations too.
In fact, he looks like a very poor James Bond imitator from the 60ies.
I bought the bundle solely because of the "Double Your Discounts With Dain 8" offer.
Dain 8 himself is okay, but most of the rest of the bundle looks rather as if it hails from an amateur asset store.
how did you get it to $45? I'm at $63 right now
Maybe because she is a PA.
Well, this is ... interesting.
Every single thing in the pro bundle that has a readme -- with the exception of the poses and Dain himself -- appears to have been done by Disruptive Publishers. Whoever that is. I can't find anything else in the store by that PA.
Manu and the Future Soldier outfit don't have readmes, although I'd be mildly surprised if the same PA didn't do Manu and Daniel; they look like the same sort of semi-stylized approach. Not that they look the same, just that the same person had a hand in their execution.
The poses don't have anything in the data or Runtime/Textures directories, so it's not easily possible to tell if the same PA did those from looking at the file list. (Although the metadata may say, but I haven't bought yet, so don't have metadata to read.)
I don't remember any bundles having that sort of single-sourcing before -- I suppose maybe the Thorne bundles, but I haven't bought a whole fairy bundle in some time. (And looking through their product pages, the Rynne, Tika and Mika bundles don't do that, so this may be a first.)
Daniel and Manu have kind of a RawArt vibe to me; if you had asked me to guess who had made them just by looking at the pics, that would have been my guess. Daniel in particular echoes some of his Michael 4 characters to me. The clothes have a "Usual Suspects" vibe to them; I would have guessed maybe Anna Benjamin/Lyrra Madril/maybe Arien for the flight suit and merc outfit, Barbara Brundon/Moonscape Graphics/sade for the bouncer suit and scifi armor.
The torso and leg (mainly shins) maps have hair, arms are basically hairless.
thanks. that may be it. Hate to pull the trigger on my cart if I can reduce a bit more
There's actually a company called "Disruptive Publishers" that does 3d-type work -- they do game assets, primarily, it looks like -- which seems ... sort of possible, although given their client list, I'm baffled as to why they'd be doing this. Their game avatars are stylized in a way that looks like maybe it could be the same people, although the avatars are FAR more stylized than Daniel and Manu. (I do hope this is the same company, though; otherwise, another person doing substantially the same work and using the same business name in the same field could be problematic if it's not the same people. Their website is very ... simultaneously kind of Cool! and Interesting! and "....you did not think this through, did you?", all at once. (Parts of it are broken. Not linking since it would be an outbound link and not in response to a substantive inquiry, but they're not too hard to find with a search.)
It's not a big leap making digital clothing for xbox avatars to making clothing for daz avatars... dont think this is some big mystery.
Are they maybe something to do with Sinespace? https://blog.daz3d.com/daz-3d-partners-with-sinespace/
Has anyone purchased yet? Hoping to see some renders before I go ahead and buy.
There's a help category designed specifically for this. It's "Missed Freebie." Daz Sales Support is among the best. If the customer is courteous and professional, so are they.
