DAZ, there are 13 Genesis 3 Female Base characters on sale.  Why isn't Ophelia 7 included??

    A lot of stuff from bundles wasn't included individually.

    He means the individual character figure. The rest of the female G3s have the pro bundles and the individual figures up for sale.

    From the wording of the sale, it probably just includes the best selling things.  With that logic, it probably has to do with the Ophelia 7 Pro bundle selling very well, while the figure alone and the starter bundle didn't sell enough to qualify for the sale.

    Somehow I'm doubting that. ;)

    Why? surprise

  • AllenArtAllenArt Posts: 7,168

    Not everyone buys pro bundles. And I think Ophelia was probably pretty popular as the females go, although...coming along at the tail end of G3 like that, I can't be sure. I know I've gotten very few pro bundles, especially for the females...mostly just single figures. And I'm probably not unique ;).

    Strange. I was always wondering why people would not buy pro bundles. I mean, not at full price, of course, unless you need it fast, but when the pro bundle is below $20 or so, then -- for me, personally -- it hits my sweet spot, where I'm willing to get it.

    Same, I don't think I've ever bought a DAZ flagship figure individually. While they're high quality they're about 3X the cost of other characters, and that's without HD. But when the pro bundle hits about $50 I consider that a bargain for usually two decent hairs and two pose sets alongside a very nice character (with bonus clothes).

    Ophelia was also the last character released before Genesis 8, so she has had a lot less time to acumulate total sale numbers

    I am also mildy annoyed by this, her pro bundle has to much stuff that I am not really intrested in. Also if you sort the items by popularity her pro bundle is one of the highest items of all, yet her figure is the only one in the sale that is not included on its own (well except the centaur I guess).

    +1

    Even If don't think I will use what comes in the Pro Bundles, I find myself more and more using products that I ask, "When did I buy that?", later realizing that it came with a Pro Bundle.

    My guess is that the Pro bundle is the primary seller at launch, then the Starter Bundle and Base Figure sales just slowly build over time as sales happen throughout the 2 year generation life cycle.

    I never buy pro bundles. Can't justify the price when released, especially when there are items included I don't need or want. By the time it does go on sale, I usually have enough of the included items that it's pointless to get the pro bundle then.

    I just wish they'd just add Ophelia 7 Base to the sale.

  • sandmanmaxsandmanmax Posts: 992

    But I just reread the promo page to see if Genesis 2 had better deals and I realized why Ophelia Base isn't there...if you believe the promo, it really is the top selling items.  There are 200 in each category.  So they had to draw the line at #201.  I guess Ophelia didn't make the cut.
