    The RDNA Stack Up Sale and the Star Items sale connected to purchase of the Star Stellar Bundle seem to stack bringing those Star Items down to some cents, 0.18$ for some textures, 0.36$ for some hair, no item over $1. Just saying.

    Made me get that Stellar Bundle. Well, store credit is done now. As the extra 10% for the PA sale from buying the Stellar Bundle are only valid for some 3 days I'll try doing a little DAZ diet from now until the end of year sale. At least stuff released during PA sale and until mid of October should already qualify for 50%+ discounts then. Keeping fingers crossed ;-)

    If I could be bothered trying to figure out the math I'd be putting in a ticket and also have bought a whole lot more items along with the Star bundle... it'd be a lot of work to completely redo the order though so I'll stick with "this is why buying on day 1 is a stupid idea because Daz will make you feel crap about your savings in some way."

    Got the Stellar bundle in my cart, added all of the Star 1.0 stuff, almost bought it all... then noticed that a LOT of the Star 1.0 stuff is Poser only!

    Deleted the poser stuff, added Sailor Maiden and VYK Stella brought price to $120.00...

    Asked myself why I was buying an old character with propietary everything when there was a newer, more functional version out?

    Deleted Star and stuff. Price now $100.00.

    Asked myself why I was buying a new, wildly distorted figure that I didn't need, and was I planning on spending $700.00 in three days?

    Deleted Star 2.0 and stuff. Price now $15.00. Thinking on it.

    You don't have to wait... The G3 morphs are part of today's, one day only, The Best Of Daz sale, They're in the 50% off group and come in at only $6.98 each for PC+ members. ($9.98 for non-members.) Expressions, head morphs and body morphs for G3F and, oddly, just body morphs for G3M.

    Filling my cart with a few things from the RDNA sale, I am contemplating getting the Hemavati jewels, bracelets, and Celestial stones texture set  as I thing they would look really nice with some updating to Iray. does anyone have these and do they work well with G2 and G3?

    Are there any RDNA poses you want? The two sales are stacking to give pennies on the dollar prices.

  • I have a question. May be stupid. I don't really care about the extra 10% of promotion. The way the page is worded it sounds like everything goes back to regular price Sunday midnight. I just want to know will the stellar bundle stay 69 through Tuesday?

    Probably, since the $69 only reflects the introductory 30% off which usually lasts for 2 weeks. However, only DAZ knows for a certainty.

    Thanks. Had to ask because they usually don't put expiration times and dates that specific on new releases

    Wow, I filled my cart with Star 2.0 stuff and RDNA items, still haven't put the poses I wanted from earlier this week in my cart and... I now have an eyepopping total of nearly $140. And I'm Canadian...

    what's dlls? :) I ended up removing a lot of the Evilinnocence clothing I had in my cart because it wasn't worth buying individual pieces despite the substantial discount... and ended up with a lot of Star items instead :)

    Kids 4 Pro bundle for free when you buy something for as low as $3. I've been wanting that for a while, but the price was never right. Now it's time to get it... :)

    I picked an item for $8.97, but then I'm more likely to actually use that than any of the $3 items, so it still feels worth it. Don't know if I'll every use any of the Kids 4 stuff, but it's a lot of things in that pro bundle and it can't hurt to have it.

    For the record, I already had all the free items offered from DzFire and ironman13, so no shopping there...

    Ehhhh, I'll admit I'm sort of tempted (on the rare occasion I'd ever do anything involving kids), but the fact there's no way -that I know of- to transfer clothing/items made for K4 to Genesis/G2/G3 (to use on characters made with Zev0's Growing Up morphs) makes me take pause. I'd still buy Esha's Patchwork shoes (Based Esha for giving us multiple heel options that are interchangeable) regardless, so I guess the K4 bundle wouldn't hurt to tack on there.

    That said, I think this is probably the fourth or fifth time I've seen Bethany 7 at practically Fire Sale levels. Did she really underperform that poorly?

     There is an K4 autofit clone included for Genesis. You can use the genesis fits in Gen 2 according to this thread: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/61610/kids-4-what-s-happening And this product enables morph transfer: http://www.daz3d.com/genx2-addon-for-genesis-2 you need Gen X2 as well.

    Using GenX I made a K4 morph for G3F and then a K4 autofit clone following a tut by 3DOutlaw on making a V4 clone for Dawn.

    Here are a few very quick examples with G3F morphed with Growing up :

    I'm not totally surprised  that "The Best of Genesis" sale (http://www.daz3d.com/08-27-best-of-daz) has been extended. At least they didn't increase the discounts this time.

    All K4 skins will fit on Genesis, as Genesis has a K4 UV set included in the Genesis essentials package. If you have the K4 UV for Genesis 2 that Slosh released for free one christmas, then K4 skins can be used on Genesis 2 as well.

    I thought about it, but the 10% will only be calculated after some other (currently unknown) discount has been calculated; and it's only for three days, so decided not to buy any Star 2; was tempted though, and still am, it's just that I didn't let that influence me.

    Shoot, I should've looked at this thread yesterday. Didn't realize the RDNA sale ended yesterday. Had a bunch of stuff in my cart to buy, it all went up. Did get a lot of Star stuff, and the deals were good but would've been better yesterday. Oh well! Live and learn!

    Same here - expected it to last through the weekend.

  • isidornisidorn Posts: 1,601

    And no free Kids4 Pro Bundle for me as I didn't check out my cart yesterday. Didn't think the sale would only last a day.

    A litttle confused by the banner for the PA sale.  It says that the 65% off Artist's Catalogs, 

    but inside it says 60% off Artists Catalog.  In the cart, 60% seems to be what we are getting.  

     

    So, why have that 65% off banner?

     

  • L'AdairL'Adair Posts: 9,479

    That would be an "Oops," KnittingMommy. Too many percentages floating around in the adcopy. lol... the Mega Fast Grab is 65% off without a purchase. Someone probably got that mixed up with the Feature Artist's stuff. DAZ has been real good about honoring things when they make a mistake. I'm pretty sure something will change, either the banner or the sales page, once they come into the office in the morning. But even if all they do is correct the banner, if you buy a new release before then, I'm sure you can get DAZ to credit you for the 5% difference.

    I've learned to wait until prices settle before hitting the buy button!  I did get a little excited at the possibilty of 65% off Artists' stores.
