I did some math; I think the Bundle is about a $10 savings from buying everything individually. Except that the bundle also has a couple of props not otherwise available.

And poses to go with said props. =)
(oh, and that flail has 11 bones IIRC, it's fully posable)
Poses...the poses reminded me of Genie poses, not Egyptian poses, so I kind of didn't think about them. Sure, more poses are generally good to have because they can save a lot of time.
I saw another post someplace (forget now) that made a valid comment about how the poses are missing the "everyday" ancient Egyptian poses; people washing or dying clothing, working, cooking. I'd like to see stoneworkers, pyramid builders hauling the huge stone blocks up the ramps, papyrus makers, hippopotamous hunters, potterymakers, bakers, beer brewers, dancers.
I might still get this bundle, there are some very good things in it, such as the flail as you say. But the price seems borderline high to me.
It's really not when you consider how much each of us is getting on each sale, which is how I have to calculate it. Just my part alone took nearly a month to make (and that's not 40 hours a week, more like 100)
Personally I think that the price is okay because we get a lot of things in the bundle. I also think that it is interesting to buy the bundle since DAZ will give the buyers a 30% off extra reduction on DAZ Original characters and character bundles released dusing this month (January 2016).

I missed the fine print. That'll be nice, as I'm sure there will be a new iconic character released this month (probably Isabella). I did pick up the bundle last night, but it was downloading when I went to be, so I'll have to wait until I get home to play. (Assuming I get the problem straightened out I mentioned in another thread...)
Yeh but the bundle won't save me $50, as I'm likely to spend no more than $16 eventually getting either one or two ot the items in the bundle. The other items are just not of interest.
So $66 for the next bundle is a better deal than $100 for the next and a load of items I don't need.
I already own several pieces of these and my budget is totally shot but I totally appreciate the value in this. and I consider poses a starting point not the end result, so I always appreciate poses included. Its a wonderful job on this, and its easy to see the amount of work that went into it. Very well done!
I must agree about the budget...
Mine too, and buried deep in a hidden corner.
