    It seems like half the items from one of the build-a-bundles went away in the last hour or 3, including the one I most wanted (though none of them were THAT important to me).  Were they supposed to do that?

    Just checked my cart too and the same thing. Can't remember which item it was from the Select Add-ons for Pro Bundles.

    Edit: It was the https://www.daz3d.com/cozy-fashion that jumped to full price.

  • The one that jumped for me was https://www.daz3d.com/insomnia-for-restless - that's a lot of shirt designs.

    Yep. Anything I was interested in in the Select Addons for Pro Bundles BYOB seems to have been pulled. Guess I get to save the $4.

    Thank you, Daz, for the "Massive Pro Bundle Sale" today. I wasn't able to take advantage of the offers when Floyd and Mabel were released, so I really appreciate today's big discount with a Debut new release.

    I also appreciate it, but haven't really found anything I want. I don't usually get pro bundles and after the Mei Lin 7 and 8 comparisions in the release thread, I wanted to get Mei Lin 7, but the pro bundle comes out to the same price as the sale price on Mei Lin by herself, I already have the base figures for Floyd, Charlotte, Edward and Alexandria, so seems pointless to purchase any of their pro bundles.decisions, decisions

    I've only been buying the odd numbered Genesis versions because I can't afford to buy morphs and all that for every single generation. I thought I'd skip G8, but Floyd and Mabel are making me seriously rethink it. It's so rare that PAs do something outside the mid 20's Barbie and Ken style characters, and to see them done with such quality, I think I'm going to get the base figures. I mostly do Sci Fi scenes, but it'd be great to have an authority figure like an Admiral or an old Jedi type of character. Besides, most Sci Fi stories are just rehashes of cop shows, Westerns, or Samurai flicks. I need those wise old characters to contrast with the reckless young rookie.

    @Kitsumo, If you're a PC+ member, right now would be a really good time to get any G8 pro bundle that's making you rethink your strategy. With an inexpensive PC+ Debut item, the current 65% discount offer, and the stacking 50% DO discount, you can get any included G2/G3/G8 Pro bundle for only $23.62. And that's assuming you don't use your monthly coupon.

    With a relatively small investment in the clothing converters from RiverSoftArt and Sickleyield, you can use all your G3 clothing on G8 and vice-versa. And if your budget is tight, you can do it yourself manually by following the instructions from SY's Convert Clothing G3 to G8, G8 to G3 tutorial on DA. That means virtually anything you buy for G8 can be used on the respective gender of G3, (and frequently cross-gender, too.)

    Don't wait too long to decide, though. I'm betting the offer goes away at Daz Midnight. And it could be a very long time before we see Pro bundles this low again.

  • My problem with the Pro Bundle sale is that I either already have everything in the bundle or everything except for one item

    Yesterday bought stuff and downloaded it. Today threw out $150.00 and opened DIM. Saw some beta stuff and thought hmmm these look familiar. I searched the download directory to copy them to a different directory to prevent overwriting and despite me not downloading anything DIM updated multiple files. Anyone know how Dim can change folder content just by opening DIM? This PC is seldom online aand was offline sincel yesterday. All I did was go online and open DIM.

  • I think the files you are showing (the 1kb files) are the... manifest? files, the things that DIM reads to see whether the file has been installed. Based on your screenshot those files were modified when you opened DIM, but not the actual installer download. I just checked my folder, every one of those files has the same modified date, the last date I opened DIM, but the installer files have different dates.

    That's right, the manifests in the Downloads folder always seem to get refreshed.

    Oh well, I let it slip through my fingers. No big deal, though. The only thing I really want is the European Style Apartment if there's a catch up sale. I've bought way too much stuff already.

  • Hmmm...Looks like all the PC+ for a day redux are priced a dollar higher.  That's still an okay deal, but not as enticing as the $1.99 they've been the entire rest of the sale.  I was kind of disappointed.  I had planned on going back and picking up a lot of them I missed.

     

     

  • There are some items in there that aren't recaps too.  Some more Arki stuff for example (Yay!)

    "You just had to mention that, didn't you?" she grumbled, laughed, and then winked.

    I hardly gave that page a glance, having already bought every PC+ for a Day product I wanted on the day it was offered. (71 total, in case you were wondering.) But I've now added three more to the haul.

    I think the PC+ for a Day special was brilliant. I'm especially appreciative of the PAs who participated. The $1.99 price point was perfect. Any more than that, and I wouldn't have been so quick to buy. I definitely bought things I'd never have considered otherwise, (The Metal Golem comes immediately to mind. Along with the Miellyn Outfit, Sneeze for G3F, and Headless for Lilith/G3F! To name a few…)

    I'll look back on this sale fondly for years, in very large part because of this one daily special. Thank you, PAs, again and again, for being so generous.

    The eternal question:

    Pull the trigger on the cart now or wait and hope that Black Friday brings an even better deal?

    That is why I never wait till catchup sales as that is usually the case

    If there are any "Temporary PC+" items in your order I'd get them now, same for Daz Originals since we currently get a bigger PC discount during Anniversary sale.

    Yeah. It's gonna be tough going back to only 30% off… LOL

  • L'AdairL'Adair Posts: 9,479

    I just noticed that Daz slipped in two more new PC+ items today in the Debut category, along with the products that were Debut on Friday… Thought I'd mention it just in case. I could be the only customer who saw yesterday's Debut items today and didn't think there were any changes… (But somehow, I doubt it.)

    Here's a sample of last year's Black Friday - it ran for three days, then there was a Cyber Monday day (similar offers) followed by a Tuesday release of Darius 8.

    ETA: Oh and selected PA catalogs each day at 40% off or 60% with a new release.

    Oh, yeah, I remember the 4-hour cycle. Didn't sleep well that weekend. Had to time the naps so as to not miss out.

  • They finally cracked me...I was doing so well up until today...Then, I just had to buy a BUNCH of stuff...including that Olympia 8 Pro Bundle.  I've been planning to get the Barbarian outfit for a while.  So, I figured, "What the heck?"  It's the outfit and some hair props that I will probably use plus the rest of it.  I also bought that Leony bundle.  I really like the wet or dry hair...figured the character and outfit were worth another 6 bucks. :)

    Gotta lot of good stuff...in spite of the price raise on the PC+ for a day.  I threw the drapery set in my cart as a new item, just to qualify.  But, looking at it, I think it might end up being really useful.  A lot of castle rooms, etc...could really be livened up with some fluid cloth drapes and hangings.

    LOL, love hearing the decision making process and how to justify a purchase. I do the same thing and try real hard not to think "oh, shiny new toy, I NEED it!" LOL

    The current Flash Sale with Kayleyss, Maclean and FirstBastion is downright painful! I could easily go through my budget for the rest of 2018 just buying the items in my wishlist from these vendors. So I decided to limit my purchase to one item each… But trying to decide on only one First Bastion set is like choosing between chocolate cake and ice cream.

    I want it all!

    I've spent credit I intended saving for next year; so that road going somewhere infernal is well and truly paved. :)
