    The "New Freebie Every Hour" promotion isn't working out so well, either.  I've only remembered to check twice so far and both times it was something I already had.  Would have been better served by 20% off gift cards coupon with no buy-in.  I can see the promo graphic now: close-up of a table.  Mostly empty glass of milk on the table next to a plate with cookie crumbs and a card saying: "20% Gift Cards. - Santa"

    Cue music.

    Happy shoppers smiling and dancing.

     

    The "every hour" promos *always* upset some customers because the "Ooops. Missed it!" feels like such a slap in the face after adjusting ones schedule around a sale.

     

    So far, all hourly freebies are just the daily Christmas freebies we've already gotten the past few days. Unless Daz gives us something completely unexpected (eg. pro bundle), I'm expecting Daz to give those people who failed to receive the expired freebies a final chance. 

    Honestly, I feel quite happy about it because I would hate to have to choose between sleeping or getting freebies. Besides, I have a family xmas dinner later and it would be kinda awkward to be looking at the cell every hour for freebies...

    Buy any Debut New Release and getNikolai 9 HD Santa Bundle for FREE*

    This would be a really good Christmas gift, if I hadn't bought it a few days ago...

    Yeah I already own the bundle too. I remember a similar thing from earlier this year, but if people already owned the freebie they were given a money equivalent to purchase whatever they wanted. Doesn't look like we'll be getting such an offer here so I guess we just have to take the hit.

    Yes, nice for some but no incentive for those of us who  already own the bundle crying  Maybe DAZ should have considered some other deal for people like me who already own the Nikola 9 HD Santa Bundle; but as it is I'm not much motivated to purchase anything except the Christmas freebies.

    I can't really remember but wasn't the Nikolai bundle either free or super cheap last year if you bought the Horse 3 or something? I bet a good portion of Daz customers already own it.

    I am very happy with the Nikolai deal.* Now that older G9 items often get good discounts, I have been been buying things I don't have in G3 & G8. I wasn't best pleased with the Minerva & Nikolai character bundles  (currently) free with Premier, so I bought Minerva Christmas for < $10 a couple weeks ago and was hoping to find a good deal on the Nikolai version. And the Debut New buy-in wasn't pricy - the Sylvia skin for $4.54! That's as good as many New Daz+ prices.

    Speaking of character bundles, I actually like the other items in the Sylvia 9 one - first time for eveything - not just the core figure, so I used the bundle coupon. Note - buying Sylvia's character bundle with the Premier coupon won't trigger the free Nik deal. You have to use actual money or store credit.

    All this brought a big smile to my face, the moreso as (1) the "the weather outside is (slightly) frightful" = rainy & drear, & is going to stay that way and (2) our Christmas celebration with our grown kids isn't until tomorrow night.

    *I do think there should be a comparable alternative offer for Nikolai owners. It would be generous & filled with tradition (Daz as well as holiday). And if Daz belatedly provides one, I will be happy for everyone who got St. Nik before I did.

    This sale is AMAZING!  I've been eyeing the Nikolai bundle for a while and get it for free!  And Sylvia 9 is incredible herself.  She's worthy of the free character bundle coupon if you have Daz Premier!

    I guess the sale is good for some people. It's not for me.

    Sylvia is just another white girl with no extras - Boring because I have a lot of them. The armor is spoiled by having all those crosses on it. The expressions are the same as all the other figure specific g9 expression packs. The weapons are ok, though I have a ton of weapons and the shield just has markings to go with the armor. 

     

    Nikolai is redundant as I already have Santa figures and outfits, sleighs, gifts, all of it.


    I kinda regret taking the month of premier as it's not really that exciting after all. I don't really want any of the character packs on offer. So I get an outfit or two with a character I don't want or a character that's useful with outfits I don't need. I certainly won't renew the premier and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    Hmmm.  Santa doesn't seem to have dropped off a Gift Card discount anywhere.  I guess I'll buy a decent one to see if a discount pops in later today.  :-/

    And let's finish up with the advent calendar that's gone right off the rails since I got my premier sub. My free thing is hair colors for an m4 hair that I don't own and paid item that's a bad deal at $2.99... oh well. Daz is still helping me save money.

    More or less free presents for me today:

    For free, I get Ahmunet for G8F (SKU 73141, Base Price $ 20.95) and for just $ 2.99* I could have got Exquisite Trees (SKU 85263, Base Price $ 18.95).

    Tomorrow it might get interesting, as there's no DO SKU >80k product in my wishlist, which has a price that's lower than $ 20.-, which seems (!) one of the criteria to for them to end in the potential present list for newer items... I'll see tomorrow... or not... wink

    * ignoring my punches here for dramatic effect reasons

    Same. There are too many things I want to buy today. If I don’t use Store Credit to buy, it means there will be no special discount today.

    I disagree 100% with your opinion on Sylvia.  If you have Premier you can get her character bundle for free (I save my coupons until near the end of the month) then get the addon for a low price if you take advantage of the sale + tokens.  An incredible green skin (free too if you buy the bundle) and dryad form is something very nice and looks great.  I have a whole bunch of white female characters and Sylivia does have some distinct features, mostly her lips. 

    However, like many other products from the same PA, there are indeed similarities. So I look at the bundles these days mostly for the addon stuff and unique forms, which is something I have advocated for many times.  At least she doesn't come with alternate forms that you can just morph with Genesis 9 Essentials or countless other products.  Things like Tara's Succubus forms are some of the best things I've seen the store offer and I love when we get more products like that.

    Also, without premier I wouldn't have my abundance of tokens, and I would need to have paid for Sylvia's character bundle, so for me, it's been benefitting me quite a bit.  I hope you can find value in it!  :)

    Many artists Daz+ come in at around 96-99% today when you include one Debut and 8 tokens. Got myself a lot of backlog for 22c each, including among others the West Park series. Some comparatively new stuff goes for 93%, too. Today its a question of too much, not too expensive.

    That's fine. We're not required to agree, and we don't. Both our opinions are valid and people can decide for themselves.

    'We're not required to agree' - love that! Aptly and kindly put.

    well.  I used my Premier bundle coupon on Mateo yesterday. I like the Sylvia character, but not the content of either bundl, although I have add-on bundle in my cart right now and will pick up Sylvia Character Bundle when coupons renew at beginning of month.... maybe. I might just buy Sylvia today and be done with it. As far as sales go, I have 12 items in my cart with the percent off total at 96%.This includes Harlow Pro Bundle for $9.98 and Sylvia Character Bundle for $9.xx. The FREE Nikolai Bundle, which does have a couple of nice products besides the fact I do like the character as a non-santa character. He doesn't have to be Santa at all.  I have the 3 punches for 40$ off, 8 tokens which is 45% DO items, and my $10 DO coupon. I'm going for the gusto while I have this month Premier membership.  

    The images shows my current cart. I will probably remove Syvia Bundle and just buy her instead, which would also eliminate the green skin.  NOTE: FIT CONTROL FOR G9 BUNDLE @ $2.77 !!!

    I keep getting free textures for items I don't own, so I threw a couple of them in the cart as well.
