    Wow, that's pretty hard to beat- what a great deal!

    What really worries me aboug Quick Grab is that the discount percentages seem to be getting smaller... this time around there are 5 items that are only 50% off and 19 that are an even smaller 40% off.  With no tokens, coupons, or any other discounts allowed, that effectively makes these items more expensive than they are in many regular sales.

    Today is Sunday, and supposedly Quick Grab is back to normal (of course, we will see in due time ;) ), so just in case, if you have any QG items in your cart or on your wishlist, check out with them before UTC Midnight (which is, if I recall correctly, 8pm US Eastern time).

    Bumping this thread as it's been the hub for all OS/QG discussion, and the other QG thread was only about the issues QG was experiencing.

    Thanks for the reminder! My youngest kid's sleep schedule went in the blender again and I didn't even properly realize it was Sunday lol. 

    You're welcome. You do a great job with the reminders (and save me a few times from missing out on QG offer), and when one didn't come yesterday, I figured you might need your "shift" covered this once. ;)

    If you mean Premier, then yes, I am.  That said, the prices I listed were from when the QG first posted... a few hours later the displayed prices apparently dropped down to normal QG pricing, so it was a store issue of some kind.  I hadn't gone back to check or put anything in the cart because I already owned just about all of it... this week out of 81 items, I own all but 6... and those six were either priced higher than they normally are in normal sale, or the sort where my interest is minimal, like old expression packs, texture sets that do nothing that couldn't be done by using a shader or just altering the difuse colors, yet another weird goth make-up pack...

    It's seems to be a normal QG changeover thing. When it updates on UTC midnight, the prices are "whatever" on the QG page, but they are already correct QG prices in the cart if you want to check them for any reason. Then, the prices on the actual page update at Daz midnight.
    A bit of inconvenience, perhaps, but if it ensures that QG changes over reliably every week without us having to pester the mods mid-Monday, I personally don't mind it.

    I'm just basic plat member but yeah if you were looking before the prices adjusted yeah explains a lot especially when we went through a stage where the prices didn't adjust for a long time. The latest batch I picked was still showing full prices but were correct in cart which doesn't always happen and like you and many others when that happened for a long period of time lat time was also wondering if they were ending it plus it happened to the regular outlet section too I do spend a bit in QC even buying stuff don't really have interest for but at some of those prices I think at that price I'm sure I'll find a use 

  • 24-ish hours to get any Quick Grabs you fancy.

    These reminders are always helpful! I get lost in rendering (or setting them up) and completely forget about QG until I check  this thread. Just bought the last QG items for this week.

    Okay, this week I have my butt together and know what day it is!! (sort of, mostly)

    Reminder to:

    •  grab your QG's before midnight UTC (roughly 7 PM eastern daylight in the US)
    • don't freak out if it's not right AT midnight, as it seems like things usually change at around 15-past
    • don't freak out if the prices seem high; usually they're right in cart initially, and the store catches up with it at normal Daz changeover

    Also might want to start considering what Outlets you'll be sad if you miss, as we only have a week(ish) before the first of the month and presumed changeover for OS.

    You're better than I am this week. 

    But I did check out with my QG... it was only waiting since Friday xD

    That's a good a reminder too, though I'd hold off until tomorrow, in case PA sale starts early and anyone needs cheap buy-in (I think they usually have some sort of ticket item, door buster, or something, but no one knows how and when it's going to be set up this year).

    PW Productions products are often really impressive in terms of what's included and filling specific market niches.  I've had this one for a while and it's very eyecatching, if rather bizarrely set up logistically, with the the placement of some of the rooms making little sense in regard to their workflow and form vs. function.

    The PW sets are always huge, but when I look up close at them I never see the kind of detail or quality I am looking for. So I always pass on them no matter how cheap. I could see it being fun to import these into Unreal or Unity or something and doing animations with them though.
