    ...well used my last bonus PC+ code and picked up the Mabel 8 Starter bundle for 22$ and change.  OK, this is my second G8 bundle (bought the Edie 8 Pro bundle during a previous sale), and third since purchasing the Young Teens 5 years ago as it also has useful clothing as well (I don't count the free pro bundles like V5/M5 which came with Carrara 8,5 and V7 who was offered free on a purple banner).

    Nice! I am reserving my cash for necessities until stimulus check arrives.

    To me, there are 2 major shopping happiness events at the DAZ store: when you land that mega deal, or when the new release is do mindblowing you hit add to cart immediately. The last thing is more likely to happen during mega sales. The first thing ... I didn't expect it during MM and it's unlikely to happen often. And with mega deal I don't mean you buy 2 items and get them 50% off. I mean the occasions where your wishlisted product appears in fast grab and there comes a 50% off build your own sale offer that applies to flash sales too. I remember I shot a Stonemason set and a starter bundle for a few bucks this way.

    But I understand it's difficult for DAZ and the PAs to push one offer after another if the entire store or a large part of it is practically 50% off baseline.

    ...also scored the bonus item for just under 2$ (makes a good skateboarder outfit).

    Alas tried to view the MM page and it brings up a 404 error. 

  • Got some things off my wishlist with the 3 extra $6 coupon deal, so quite happy with that.

    Skipping on the purple banner alternate deal for Victoria bases owners. Jusr not into any of today's Newly Mad items. If it lasts more than 1 day and there's something interesting in Newly Mad, I'll revist.

    Try putting in the banana suit and the 70% off new item (resto shop) in your cart, then add a few select DO's and see what happens...

    Also, were you able to use your April Plat club code 4 times, 3 times, or did you use a different code for the 'bonus' coupons?

    Check your Daz3D account inbox.  There should be a new purple banner offer there.

    I picked up the free Victoria 8 offer at the start of MM and don't really want any of the older versions... I'm guessing the alternate purple banner is for people who already own all of the Victoria figures?

    Im also PC + and although the honorary PC offer has been extended (which is awesome!) it doesn't make any difference for me and there doesn't seem to be any extended bonus for PC members, so no fun for me today!

    Well, no fun except for the banana suit haha (Mr Banana Grabber copyright  George Oscar "GobBluth II)

    Wasn't sure if it was a mistake or intentional but the April PC+ coupon (not the spend 18 for 6 off PA coupon), because they often make it available the last day of the prior month, was usuable 3 times today which when combined with the spend $18 for $6 off PA for next month is 4 uses for April coupons on MM items on big discounts already. So I got some nice things really cheap befor MM ends. 

    I have no ideal when MM ends so the NCAAs were canceled way back weeks ago.

    Of course the reality is the MM likely lasts into April and those things I bought with Apr coupons go on Catchup discount with potentially bigger discounts but it was cheap enough for me already so I bought those products I had wishlisted.

    Sure, there are things that go wrong in a sale or even a purchase, but generally the people who run this store,

    and the vendors, are pretty darn good and generous.

    I can only praise all these good folks.

    And a sincere thank you.

    Keep well and safe, everyone.

    Agreed! They're awesome and have done one hell of a job keeping MM running smoothly and  "business as normal" during these unpresidented times :) Thank you, Daz!

    I recommend still picking up the other Victorias even if you don't install/use them. That way you'll qualify for banners like the one today in the future. I believe that for Victoria's birthday (for example) if you own all the Victorias you often got another type of incentive.

    That's great advice and information @FenixPhoenix :) Thank you so much for sharing! heartI appreciate it and maybe I will indeed pick Victoria 7 up today then!

    Well not necessarily, I own all Victorias and I have no purple banner today. On the sales page today the store even shows that I own all Victorias involved in today's sale.

    Not gonna spend money today although I want to but I'm a petty person :(

    It has been about one week without flash sales. Those were the better than most MM. I know that while PC for everyone is active we probably won't get another PC items for 99c (or less). But still, there were good flash sales deals that do not involve PC or newly mad items. I miss those too.

    It depends on the flash sale and whether or not you already have everything the featured artist has made yet, and DAZ went into a loop of only a few artists rather early on during this sale.  I've been doing much better overall with the Platinum-Perks coupon and product stacking.

    ...I had both so is that what knocked the price of the 3 DOs I had in the cart down to a total of 75¢ from nearly 90$?

    ...crikey had I caught that, I would have used the PC+ April Coupon instead of the "Platinum-Perks" code, added another DO or two to get the total for those up to 6$ and effectively got all of them "free".

    It doesn't seem to work that way. The free items cripple the PC+ coupon. My understanding, you would have to front the money, take a screenshot, and make a CS claim to get the $6 credit.

    When i tried to add a plat club coupon to the $20 DO purple banner deal, it wouldn't take, but nonetheless I feel pretty good about getting 6 items for around $4.50.  As I noted before, the resto shop plus the banana suit was enough to trigger the prereq for the coupon.

    I'm sure I'll find a few other options for the 'triple' plat club offer though.  A lot of the DO items on my wishlist fall in the $5-7 range with PA discounts, so no worries.  I might wait until tomorrow though, to see what the next 70% off item might be...

    Not sure why some others may not have received that purple banner offer, but then that's par for the course for purple banners.  Only Daz CS knows for sure what the prereqs for various purple banners are, and they usually aren't forthcoming on those prereqs...

    I heard about that. I got the purple banner, but I don't want to spend extra to use it when it means buying stuff that doesn't appeal to me. I sometimes feel like I'm drowning in content. blush

    The other monthly Save6 coupon worked for me on the $20 deal, but it only took off $5.50 (maybe because of the free banana), but I'm OK with that.

    ...yeah, gave it a try anyway, selected 5 DO items that came to 6.06$ (none showing as 0.00$  and it only took like 30¢ instead of 6$ off]. Took two of the items out and the total for the remaining three dropped to 40¢ (for about 84$ of items not counting the Banana Suit and the one Newly Mad item [the Standing Poses for G8F]).  Still, not bad and the poses are useful as I have a pose conversion script..

    Not to mention.. The skin textures. Especially the Genesis 3 version (Victoria 7) works perfectly fine on Victoria 8, and vice versa!

    Genesis 8 really is more like Genesis 3.05 than a radical improvement. Even whether it is a noticable qualitive improvement is debatable. But, it's actually really nice that the skin textures are so interchangable. A change of skin can radically alter a characters' appearance, and there adding some Genesis 3 / Victoria 7 skins can exponentially increase your option for appearances.
