    Is the joke suppose to be that when you check out with a Newly Mad & a Still Mad item in your cart you aren't given credit for the Free V8 engine? You get charged $16.95 angry

    No, the joke is they get you to buy something for an April Fools joke.

    Personally, I loved it. Yes, it got me at fist; but it was a great joke and well executed with the homan model having a prominent place in the first promo.

    And it injected a littlr bit of fun to the DAZ3D store and forums

    I used the $2.99 still mad PC item (Casual Style for Genesis 3 Female(s)) and it worked for me. The total order cost was just the $2.99

    It's a tradition to have a fun product for April 1st.  The "make art button" in 2012 was particularly inspired.

    oh ,come on, that 's exacly why it's hilarious, Have and a second of doubt as well then thought of the suit to be the item, but this is much better

    And even the mighty Google manage to upset some with April Fool's jokes    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-35941806

    I  was expecting something and was thinking a tie-in to the juice at first. It slowly sunk in that it was the engine. This is hands down the best April Fool's "product" so far. Well played!!  laugh

    Best April Fool's joke of the day!

  • mjc1016mjc1016 Posts: 15,001

    I'm waiting for the morphs and expression packages...maybe some add-ons. 

    She doesn't even come with a few basics?

    I disagree.  Levity and humor is needed, maybe more than "certainty".

    Go ahead and let yourself laugh.  You know you want to!  wink

    At last!!  Not some young hottie, but a realistic older character with flaws.  Everyone rejoice!!!!!!

  • RedzRedz Posts: 1,459

    It does appear that only today's and yesterday's still mad items qualify, which is a bit confusing, as there are many items in the still mad category. Unfortunately having V8 in the cart also messes up the PC coupon. So even though I got the Gianni 7 HD add-on, I had to remove V8 from the cart. :( oh well...

    A nice 3D model of an 8 cylander engine in DS native format.

    Not sure if you meant me :) but with V8 in the cart at $0, the full $6 PC coupon isn't being applied. I suspect the cart sees V8 as another DO item and apportions half of the coupon to it. 

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,924

    Sorry Redz, I meant overall. I wasn't clear, my apologies. Fisty answered it- thanks! (And you definitely don't want to waste your coupon, that's for sure!)

    I just checked this.  I put Gianni 7 HD, as well as the V8 in my cart (with no otherr products) and the V8 is free.  Is anyone still ahving this problem?  Also, anyone who has run into this problem, please let support know.  So long as they can verify that you made a purchase today with a newly or still mad item they can go ahead and add the v8 to your account.

    I just bough apartment living room, something off the fast grab and and the v8 was free. Thanks Dzfire and Daz for the fun Apirl fools day.

    I never managed to make it stick to the toolbar in DS. Besides, they forgot to include a manual...

    Thanks Steve. I appreciate that. It's not that V8 isn't showing free, it's that the PC coupon doesn't work correctly with V8 in the cart. (It doesn't discount by the full $6)

    Cris, Riverwillow is in the "All Still Mad" category but those items don't appear to trigger the free V8. Only yesterday's Still Mad items do.

    I now understand and have sent in an inquiry.

    Thanks for taking a look into that, and thanks to azoohouse for stepping in to explain

    Edit: and there the magic works, have a daz mod look into it the problem is gone, only applying the 6$ PC coupon is not giving the full reduction, seems to get separated with the original price of V8.
