Anyone Else Think we Should get the Bundle for Free?

Anyone else think we should get the bundle for free? I am hoping if this thread gets long enough DAZ might fix this problem. DAZ knows when we own some parts of a bundle and gives out banners of varying discounts depending on the portion owned. When that portion is 100% why not simply put the bundle in the owner's product library and put an end to the madness.
I have several 'non-owned bundles' that I own. Here is one from today's sale that I'll share. Please share yours or your thoughts.

Also, a function like "complete the bumdle" would be nice, where you can get the bundle items you do not have at a sensible discount. I have a lot of "almost complete" bundles.
Tickets might work better than a forum thread for this issue. I use the Daz Deals browser add-on to hide items like that - Starter packs for pro bundles I own always show up. It's not a perfect solution, but it's a big help! Obviously, it's less help for new items. The bundle will still be on the sale page.
+1 on that feature too
And specially more with this "new" trend to add old products. Sometimes they add a discount on release day but after that promo is void, you get nada. That is not fair. Lots of items are now in several bundles (and i don't mean starter/pro), so people need to purchase twice some items or pay more for individuals.
I hoped the "New" store will allow this kind of needed fetures, but i'm failing to see much improvements at all. Besides the code of GC in orders, not requiring constant relogins and store daily change seems to take less time as i read less compaints for that (not translated to promos, those still take time a kick in and have errors most of the time). Then we have mail delays, search is as bad or probably worst than before and we lost the "addons" reference on product pages.
Especially would like upgrade Starter Bundles to Pro.
I was thinking this thread would be about the next Core Figure bundle being free to thank Daz customers for not abandoning ship. This would be a good way to gain goodwill, unless, of course, we can't download without spending a few days.

Mmm, that's so specific bundle that you don't need totally if you examine your real needs and not your claims because you bought 1 or 2 included there,
for example I would buy only the Bundle with cosmetic props and discard the "Pose and Boudoir" Bundles because:
and Daz business model is selling content (software is free), and the PA needs to be paid.
my $0.02
The original post is talking about hiding the bundles (or listing them in your product list) when you already own ALL of the components though.
Then the thread drifted as they do.
For instance, how Starter bundles show up as unowned when you own the Pro bundle.
I'd definitely like this to be added to the store logic, but if it didn't get added as a feature with this store update, I don't have much hope for it.
Already asked this a few years ago several times. DAZ support just told me the bundle is a different SKU. It's the same reason why the starter bundle is not flagged as purchased if you own the pro bundle. Some bundles also have extras/freebies you can only get if you purchased the bundle and not the individual products.

Come to think of it, I've seen this sort of discussion before. That was the answer then, too. Seems like the Daz Deals hiding feature is the only alternative. You're right about exclusive bundle features as well.
Well, should not be a big issue. If it works one way (if you buy the bundle, the individual SKU's are addedt to the products library) it should work the other way as well. As for the exclusive bundles, why not treat them like other bundles lately? If you have 25% of the items alfeady, you will get xx% discount when you buy the bundle, when you own 50%, you will get an addtional yy%, and if you oen 75% or more you will get an extra zz% on top. Like the used-to-be-purple-but-now-is-orange-for-no-obvious-reason banners.
As one of my mentors stated: "If you want to do it, you will find a way. If you don't want to do it, you will find an excuse".
I think what would be even more useful would be the ability on the part of of us, the users, to hide individual items in the store via a simple toggle.
There are numerous products, besides the ones I already own from the whole bundle debacle, which I have absolutely no interest in, and I am sick of having to constantly scroll past hundreds and even thousands of them while going through the various sales and searches in the store.
DAZ, please allow us to hide stufff we don't want to see!!!
True.
@Grin_Without_a_Cat The Daz-Deals browser add-on gives us, the users, just that capability.
Understood. However, that should really be a function of the store. We should not have to rely on 3rd parties to supply basic functionality. Particulary when said third parties' apps can end at any time due to a store redesign, loss of interest on the part of the developer, sudden illness, etc.
This would be nice if they could find a way to make it work. They would probably have to find a way to do it without granting everyone a free second license for the content though. If you buy everything individually but then buy the bundle later, that should grant another license to use the content on a second computer at the same time. That make's me wonder, though. If you buy some items in a bundle and then buy the bundle later, does that grant a second license for the items you already own? How do you keep track of the number of licenses you have for each item you own without going through every order you've ever made? It's not likely that I'm ever going to need more than one license, but I'm pretty sure I've purchased multiple copies of products through different bundle deals and such over the years.
If you buy a bundel now, it does not grant you a second license for the individual items. If I interprete DAZ licenses correctly you can use them on as many computers you want/need, provided that it is only YOU that is using the stuff. and you are only using it on one machine at a time.
I submitted a ticket requesting this feature before the new store software was put into place. And I agree that it will take enough people requesting this feature for DAZ3D to invest the effort in making it happen.
I've got a few like that, not many. Mostly from back in Gen 4 & Genesis, often the componentrs get offered as freebies or sales discounts the components in sum cheaper than the bundle ever gets discounted.
