Will there be a September Daz Original Bundle?

I'm paying extra for Daz Studio Premiere or whatever the hell it's called. Nice bundles are kind of the point of doing that.

    You own all nine of the available character bundles?

    I don't myself. But I don't want the Neanderthal or Wukong. So I'm disappointed as well.

    I don't own all of them, but I do own most. I've been buying the original bundles since Daz started doing them. But then, I started with Mike and Victoria 2....

    Well, the problem for me is that I own all the Daz bundles so I can't even pick up one that doesn't really interest me.

    Ditto.  AFAIK, there are only two bundles in the whole G9 lineup that I don't have (Minotaur and Bastien the Elf dude) and neither is in the current listing. We've been getting two and occasionally three new base figures bundles per month, though, and I think the last one was at the tail end of August (Isabella), so I'm hoping we'll see something at least one by the middle of next week.  

  • We have asked about this.

    They normally come on a Thursday, and if that means next week it will be too late. They could at least expand the list currently available. I have a choice of 2, and I own most of what I want already from those 2. I normally use my coupon on one of the new bundles released the same month.

    Even that wouldn't help me because I own pretty much all of the character bundles to date. And yes one of my primary reason or buying a premier membership was the free monthly character bundle

    The current festival has been very generous so far, but I’m starting to get a bit annoyed. After all, it’s already 25 September today. We’re unlikely to see a new character bundle before the 30th. I’ve already got the contents of the character bundles I can get with my Premier voucher, or I don’t want them. At the very least, the range on offer should be expanded.

  • jmucchiellojmucchiello Posts: 2,327

    At this point, even if a character dropped, I'm assuming it would be one I'm not interested in. Just because.

    Isabella 9 was released on the 27th of August. There's still a chance for Daz to release a core figure in 5 days.

    In the meantime I have read the thread 'There's Always Another Sale' and remember that in recent years it was always the case that the second August character appeared very late in the month, the first October character very early and during the PA sale in September there was no new release. It's okay.

    That's fine BEFORE there was Premier level with a character bundle coupon that was purchased. but there are still 5 more days left.

    There are also one or two bundles I don't have but as with you, Cybersox, none of them is an option this month, therefore...

    My premier membership runs out in October. If they don't come up with a bundle I can use my code on, in the last days of September , I won't extend my subscription.

    I won't say "oh ok, they have a special PA sale running, so I understand that they can't deliver, what I've paid them for, because it's not in this months theme." This is just a themed sale. Nothing more. This would be a self-imposed obstacle and the most stupid reason to not deliver, I've ever heared of.

    Paid for it. Want it. It's that simple.

    Honestly, there's no need to rush to produce it just for the sake of giving it away if we don't have the G9.

    I'd be happy to accept the G8 PRO bundle.

    Yeah, sign me up for that.

  • jmucchiellojmucchiello Posts: 2,327

    The existing character bundles that were part of the Premiere freebie have generally been equivalent to G8 Starter Bundles, not PRO bundles.

    And I think we should file tickets for this. What good is a coupon for a free product if the product doesn't exist?

  • davesodaveso Posts: 8,308

    its harder to use any of the coupons the way the sales are mostly based on using coupons. It does force you to buy more though, if you plan on using those membership coupons. Yeah,I've been buying Premier when something interesting to me is put in that free bundle category, but its been harder and harder to get one, so now on DAZ+... 2 months straight. At least I get the half off on the outlet and quick grab.

    In the best case scenario (i.e. you have exactly $25 of eligible items), the 10 out 25 coupon is a 40% extra discount, so better than the extra 30% discount daily coupon, and it stays better until you're buying more than $33,34 of eligible items (the point were it's now less than a 30% extra discount).

    The Daz+ equivalent has a shorter range, but is still better than the 30% extra discount when you have between $18 and $19,99 dollars of eligible items.

    You're leaving a number of factors out of the equation, most notably that one earns tokens at twice the rate with Premier, that there are additional discounts stacked on several things for Premier members, and that the orange bar daily coupon is not a gauranteed bonus, even if it has been so far. All that said, the inability to use the "free" (it's not really free if you have to pay for it) Character Bundle option is obviously a major hit against the overall viability of Premier and the failure to release a new eligible product this month will likely result in some issues, especially since a few months ago we had a month with three of them.

    My problem is always the DO only coupon. Pickings are getting spare for what I'd really want to spend money on. Usually, if I really like a DO Character, I use the DO coupon for the Add-on bundle (or individual things in it). No such luck this month.

    I'd be completely on board with this. When I pick up any of the bundles, I just convert things to G8 anyway.

    Yes, but that was a Thursday. As far as I know core charactor bundles have always been released on Thursday or Friday. And there are no Thursdays or Fridays left in September

     So true.  SInce they introduced the free character bundle, it seems like most of the DO products are either showing up as part of the bundles or as non-eligible DAZ+ items, so the well of eligible products has really been running dry.  They DO apply to bundles, though, even new releases, so normally I apply them to one of the add-on bundles or the character bundle that I didn't use the bundle coupon on.  This month, of course, that hasn't been possible since there hasn't been one. ;/
