I'm actually surprised there is no forum topic yet...lol.  What is everyone's thoughts?  I'm liking the vibe with this one, but it could be the promos...lol.

    I like her a lot, pretty unique character.

    I have a question about the coupon code though. it says "Coupon Codes will be distributed Sept. 28 and expire Oct. 4 at 23:59 MDT (UTC-6). Usable twice per customer."

    does that mean you can use the coupon code twice and get the 20$ or 60$ off twice as well?

    I didn't see that at first.  I'm wondering about that as well.

  • We will ask about the code.

    Pass. 

    Only thing I'll be buying is AprilYSH's new hair.

    I don't really like that she's a cyberpunk character, and I say this as someone who likes futuristic robots and stuff.

    Might pick her up and the Ergou hair eventually. AprilYSH's hair looks good, but I feel like I have another one of hers in a similar style already.

    Yeah, there is another braided one, but the side braids on it are kinda going an odd direction and the top feels disjointed. I have it and haven't really been able to use it because there's just something about it as a whole that bugs me. This new hair is much more...together...if that makes sense. It looks really nice.

    Probably the first character itself that I've liked in quite awhile from Daz. The bundles aren't very good, but the bonuses are decent.

    I'm more awake now that it's close to 8 AM for me, but I wonder if Noska 8.1 is very, very loosely inspired by Naomi Osaka.

    If I could use a cyberpunk samurai I would be disappointed because it's all very expensive for what you get. Take away the poses, animation, and expressions, things most people don't need, and there isn't much left. I would have my doubts for the coupons. Will they be good for anything or just a small set of old junk? Daz does not have a good track record for future, unknown offers. Mecha Dinosaur went into my wishlist for now.
  • I like everything about this mega bundle except the add ons to bring down the price. Most are in the mega bundle and the items that aren't, I have except the miracle garden, which is at full price, and the animation bundle, which I can't see spending 30 bucks on that to bring the mega bundle down 30 bucks itself. Using old items is a horrible idea for add ons as I couldn't even get three without rebuying something.

    The text on the coupons has been corrected - unsurprisingly, they are going to eb one use each.

  • The character is nice but the sale is exhausting. I don't want to spend hours of my day trying out this item and that item and comparing costs to see if an item is -really- a good price, or if they've just cancelled the standard 40% off to make it full price, and then shave some off the full price that nobody ever pays. I'm also not going to sink a big chunk of money based on a $60 future boon that is almost surely going to be based on that full price that nobody pays. It works out to not being any more discounted than an average day.

    I just don't want to spend a long time figuring the sale out. I have things to do. I'll pick up items someday, later, one by one, if they're at a good price.

  • With 3 add-ons plus orange banner, I get the Mega Bundle to $47.93.

    Naomi Osaka might be the right guess here as the inspiration. (I thought her Met Gala outfit was superb... I liked the creative look for her, and probably better for her mental state to go in more of a costume than a plain ol' dress (while Emma Raducanu was also totally stunning in another way)).

    Wait... the Mega Bundle includes the Texture Add-ons and the HD?

    Unfortunately, I have most of the add-ons and some of these are in the mega bundle.

     I'm not high on any of the Daz recurring themes so bundles aren't appealing at all. The braided hair, the character and the HD addon are going to be enough. I like the face. I don't like how the premium characters no longer come with fibermesh eyebrows.

    There should be more reason for using Daz originals characters over what PAs are providing with fibermesh hairs and HD details.

  • I may use the $60 coupon on something but I think this is it for me with these bundles.  I have a nice selection of characters, props, clothing, etc.  I will clean out my wishlist and support the utilities I use but these bundles are getting to be much.

    I have those 3 in my cart since earlier. Still debating on the HD. 

    The bundle prices are too high for me...and I haven't seen an orange banner for quite some time, so the price of the mega bundle is way up there. Its only $5 or so per item though, which in reality isn;t too bad at all, but plopping down 100 bucks is too much. Its still $40 for the 3 items though so that's $13 each.

    I think this is a hard pass. 

    It's like they threw a bunch of Asian related stuff from different periods in a bundle and called it a theme. I like the base character. The outfits and clothing are ordinary,and the secondary figure is odd looking. 

    I enjoy cyberpunk but it seems most of the content isn't.

    R.I.P themed pro bundles.

    I like-not-love Noska.

    Her body morph looks great!

    Skin and head morph look good, but nothing too special as far as I can tell. I find her face not all that distinctive in some of the promos.

    Her tattoo looks better than V8.1, but in some spots still looks more like body painting.

    The first time I literally have no interest in any of the items in the bundle. What bugs me is that a lot of stuff immediately remind me of the Mei Lin 7 Pro Bundle.

    Only a few characters got the tattoos done right... for example G8M Noburo

    Offers like that don't really tempt me; I get discount on something I am unlikely to be interested in.

    Discount of what I'm buying now is great.

    I quite like the bundles though.

  • I'd get the Mega Bundle, but the Add-Ons situation is... vexing. Like, I have to buy a $32 animation bundle to qualify for the discounts? What happened to NEW Add Ons not being part of the large bundles?

    It's like they don't want us to get the Mega Bundle or something.

    It's very confusing.

    I would have purchased this and the Bonnie mega bundle if they gave us a wider choice of addons.since most of the addons are already in the mega bundle, they need to add the entire NEW DO library to choose from.

    And this is why I am done with the bundles.

    I would've bought a bundle, but two trips to the vets in two days has killed my wallet. 

    Thanks for the banner though.

    Looks like a perfect fit to me. Just have to exchange that sword-ish thing with a tennis racket

  • This bundle is gorgeous and love all the extra discounts.  Thanks

    The sad thing is that she's the first 8.1 figure and bundle that set that I've actually liked in a long while, but I'm not able to take advantage of the add-on bundle discount because all of the new ones are already in the Megabundle, while I aready own all of the older products they've tossed in except for a single sub-component of the combat bundle.

    The Addon's are usually where the big discount lies but in today's case to get the cheaper ones you'd be buying 3 things twice. Grrrrrrr. The more expensive addons tend to nulify the discount for getting the mega bundle.
