With the new orange banner from this afternoon (and one token, lol), I could get Harlow 9 Pro for $25 plus 10-ish for the two addons. It's is a really, really good price, and I really like the character. But I'm still hesistant, because I won't feel comfortable using either the blasters or the shadow mercenary outfit because of their tie-in editorial license add-ons (yes, the marshal outfit has one too, but the difference is much bigger than just change of colors, so I'm slightly less uncomfortable here), and it significantly lowers the value of the bundle to me.
I really wish Daz kept all the fan stuff truly separate not just as color scheme addons.
I guess I have until midnight to decide.
(On that note, something positive: a huge thank you to whomever put the expiry date on the orange banner offer. This was such a pleasant surprise that if I was more expressive, it would justify all caps and a lot of heart emoticons.)
New banner up - 50% off one item. Works for new items.
Everything in my wishlist is high enough at the moment that it's not tempting for me, but maybe others will have better luck.
I have to take that back... The new banner for 50% off one item gets Harlow Pro Bundle down to $14.53/93% off (with 8 tokens),
so now I'm at 92% off for the whole cart for $56 (24 items).
I have the Harlow Pro bundle plus 2 addons (just had to get the cabin),
Ratnick plus 2 other RawArt items,
3 Daz+ items from the RawArt selection,
Daz+ new items,
the weekly featured Daz+ items (note pick the three $0.99 items before these)
And a bunch of Featured Artists (DO's) from Harlow and Ratnick promotions.
What are the weekly featured Daz+ items this week? I turned my marketing emails on and they stopped arriving. They'd been arriving for as long as I can remember when with the marketing emails switched off. I only switched them on because I was surprised they were off and I thought I might be missing out on emails, but it's been very quite since I did that!

Of course there's a page for it...
The emails have clearly been spoiled me to devolution. Thank you for being more evolved!
Instead of a seperate DAZ+ email the DAZ+ items that were in the DAZ+ email were combined into the daily DAZ email.
So they have been. Unsure I like that change. I preferred them in their own email because I used to look at the last two whenever I was building a cart. Now they're buried at the bottom of very long emails with no way of knowing which of the emails they're in. I've definitely missed quite a few items over the past few weeks because of the change. I guess I better start visiting the web page instead.
Fine print on the Daz sale tile today - DO bundles are for the price of the unowned items. I know there were folks hoping for one of those...
Nice: I got 16 bundles out of the store listing and I should finally stop seing useless bundles (like Starter Bundles while I own the Pro Bundle)
Edit: if you're missing the same items in two different bundles, it's best to add both of them to your cart to check which is the cheapest (and then, I suppose, after having bought it if the price felt right to you, you should be able to get the other bundle for free, to remove it from the store listing):
In all three cases, I'm missing the same exacts items in each bundle compared:
Horse 3 bundles:
Nikolai 9 bundles:
Michael 9 bundles:
Because you don't own the Starter Bundle itself even if you own every item included in it: if the current promotion (pay only the price of the non owned items) wasn't active, the Starter bundle you're speaking about would not be free.
Best time to solve the problem is today and tomorrow, while the promotion is active (it's rarely active: the previous time was in August 2023).
Ready to see if the next Daz+ event is good. I had a coupon for 50% off any 1 item, "not valid on gift cards," yesterday. So I picked up a Quarterly membership for $12, which fits both my budget and inclinations. Yay me.
Trying to tell the difference between my orange banner Ratnick offer, and the store-wide Ratnick sale. Don't see the difference.
Is there any downside to this? It would be nice to clean up the product listing of all those "empty to me" bundles that I already own everything in.
They are the same, the on-site wa a reminder for people who have already purchased RawArt sets.
I can't think of any downside. An alternative to buying is hiding those redundant products from the listings, something that can be done if you have a current subscription to the Daz-Deals extension, I think.
And thank you, Daz!
(That number might seem excessive, but there have been several sales during which bundles were $5 to $15 each, and it's common for larger bundles to leave behind two smaller bundles of already-purchased items.)
I dispensed with 18 smaller bundles. Looking in my product library, the included products get re-listed at the top. I can't decide if "buying" the bundles was the best idea. Oh well. Done is done. Seems like there should be some better way of handling that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think yes. But that's just me. I thought yes, I finally get the chance to buy the bundles I own. Today, ayear or so later, I regret that choice. I hate that the invoices overwrite and repopulate the old invoice number and date. My spreadsheet is long enough this makes it longer, and my 4 TB SSDs have turned into 8TB SSDs. It's simply extra uneccessary work for someone like me who micro-manages their assets. I ended up with having to take duplicate screenshots and update to older folders. My spread sheet grew much longer for no good reason. I tried it twice. Thanks, but no thank-you. I don't see a benefit. Just extra work identifying, buying, extra sorting and extra record keeping. A huge time waster if you own a ton of bundles but 'don't own them'.
The Rawart sale doesn't work as expected. I can only add one item with the two required ones for 99 pence. It states, I should be able to add 3 for 99 pence.
Therefore, it should be 3.99 for ratnick, one item at whatever price from the same vendor, and 3 extra at 99 pence. It won't do it.
Thanks for looking into it.
As the banner states, you need three items by RawArt for the discount to work: Ratnick can be one of them, and then you need two more by RawArt to trigger the discount on Daz+ items, and these are only the items that are inlcuded on the page the sales banner takes you to, not any Daz+ items.
Ratnick + one other item gets you 70% off other RawArt items (instead of 50%).
Feels like I've been waiting for the bundle deal for over a year...
Got some of my bundles filled and now I can get 5 licenses too...
Argh, finally a day when there's a new release I actually want... and the rest of the "buy one of today's new releases and get..." offers are all useless to me.
I do wish the Unrivaled character had a few promo pictures of him without the texture pack you have to buy separately. I'd be nice to know what the actual character looked like out of the box. At least one picture of him without the beard seems reasonable, especially since they show him without the chest hair (which isn't shown in the pack that contains it, either).
Orange banner for 20% off entire cart - includes gift cards!!
Sadly, other priorities have reduced my procurement budget to 0. Happily, I still have a fair amount of money on account. Sadly, none of the sales have appealed to me since Easter. Happily, Daz+ sale is coming, isn't it? That could be fun.
Mostly, I'm waiting for the right opportunity to use my Daz+ coupons this month and I still have lots of fun stuff to use in the meantime. I do have a few key items I want to grab, but the stars have not aligned.
its somewhat difficult to use the DAZ+ coupons anymore with the coupons already needed to trigger sales. I just ry to grab something and don;t worry about using them much anymore.
