Exactly, there is a banner for SP owners but afaik they still do the banners for owning previous bundles, at least I got one for Jacqueline because I had one of Vicky 8.1 bundles. And yeah, honestly, if you don't care about the core figures I'm not sure why get the bundles at all, just pick the individual items later when they are on sale.
I just got an orange banner for "extra 20% off" for the "Jazz 8.1 Undercover Boogie Bundle", because for my "interest in male figures", which probably is true as most of the Pro bundles I bought - which still weren't many - were male figures... still doesn't tempt me to dish out ~ $ 40.- for that bundle, 'cause there's nothing in it that I really need.
FWIW I've NOT been a regular buyer of bundles over the years - the last pro bundle I bought was Valentino 8 in November 2020, and that would have been at a deep discount. I'm not a SP holder either. Nonetheless, I'm getting an orange banner this morning:
Buy the things you like, at the price you're prepared to pay. If that leads to orange banners down the line, then great. If it doesn't, so what? There's no point in buying stuff you don't want at high prices just to trigger unspecified orange banner savings on unspecified items. That's the sort of thinking that gets you buying season passes...
+1
Well, the Jazz Bundle is the right price for me. With whatever stacking discounts (SP holder, the other banner, etc.), it was $22 & change in my Cart for the bundle.
Throw on another discount code, and it goes down to $19.95 in my cart... and even lower with the other discount code.
It's a pretty easy decision at that price point, IMO.
Jazz contest is up (Season Pass only, again)... theme: “undercover cop that’s low on time and high on crime"

Like, totally tubular, man, I mean, yeah.
No seams, no hems, no creases. They even saved money/time on promo setups.
Wish I had time to actually render something for the contest. :D
I like the Jazz bundle. And with all the discounts, it's at a reasonable price, too.
What's with the sloped shoulders? This poor guy must have a terrible time trying to wear a backpack.
I'm a bit confused my the SP Content Guidelines: 'low on crime and high on crime'?
I'm pretty sure "high" has something to with it.
Yeah... the season pass page is firetrucked up, but the actual contest rules page has the wording "Low on time and high on crime" (whatever that means).
Thanks! And yep, no clue what it means either.
Maybe he's in a hurry to do some crimes? Maybe he has to be running or looking at a clock or his watch or his phone?
Okay, going to be literal and going back to the rules page since I am still confused...
"Use the Daz character Jazz 8.1 to create a new static render not previously posted or shared that relates to the theme of an “undercover cop that’s low on time and high on crime” — showcasing stress with a sense of coolness and conflict."
Everything before and after "high on crime" makes more sense.
I may still go with "high on crime", though... duude, it's not even 4/20 anymore, but whatevs.
I know Jazz is all the rage right now, but here's my contest entry for Jacqueline.

.I like it. Half Joni Mitchell in Big Sur, half menacing fantasy.
I think it might mean that he has more crime than he can handle and no time to solve it all ;)
Probably my favorite Jacqueline render so far.
Me two.
I got the banner for the bundle, but is it really worth it for a one interesting outfit and a face morph I'd end putting on Sanjay 8? I guess not.
Here's a little more love for Brooke!
So... lately, every other item I get has some sort of issue. I've been fixing them myself, but things have gone over the line.
I got the Boogie bundle for $17 and am seriously considering returning it. It doesn't matter how cheap stuff is if I cant use it or have to fix it myself.
Default Max Shirt
Edited Max Shirt (Just a shader edit with default textures. I don't know if this is how it's supposed to look, but at least it looks like something you can put in a render.)
Sadly, this is not the only issue the bundle has.
I won't be fixing stuff anymore. If it's not quality, I'm returning it. And this is the last bundle I buy if things don't change dramatically.
On a cheekier note. I am glad I was born in the 80's when the "invisible stitch" was already invented
I've been noticing issues like that with a lot of outfits...shaders needing to be tweaked. I'm not afraid of rolling up my sleeves and getting dirty on the surfaces tab, but that should be for customization only. You shouldn't have to spend time fixing something to get it to usable on new items made for Iray. Bringing 3DL shaders to Iray, yes. But new stuff? No.
I fix or completely alter shaders on 98% of clothing and 100% of skins. (Which is why I don’t buy anything with PBR shaders, I still don’t know how to fix them and don’t feel like learning right now.) I also change all morphs and poses. I look at Daz products as just a starting point, Otherwise it’s just playing with Barbies in the computer and calling it art. Although I have seen actual art of photos taken of Barbie dolls, so there’s that...
As do I, and I actually quite enjoy fiddling with shaders. Not so much fixing textures, morphs and geometry.
A good shader can't help this.
