"So many artists we needed another week!", they say, after three straight days of no new releases.

+1 My main complaint!

I keep having this hallucinogenic dream that while eating my daily breakfast omelette, I open the Daz sales page to see that ManFriday is the PA of the day and MeshGrabber 4 is the 'Golden Ticket.'
(Hey, I'm 72 - let an old man enjoy his simple dream ;-)    )

I'm sure most of us have been dreaming our own similar dreams even if the subjects vary. :) I'd love for the GT to be a modern SCUBA with standard air tanks (not rebreathers, nitrox, etc.) & a full face mask like I own, similar to this: https://www.scuba.com/p-oednsgk/ocean-reef-g-diver-full-face-mask-w-coms-ocean-reef-extender-kit. All the dive gear here (including the G8) is either vintage or high tech, not what I use.

Be still my beating heart ...!

Marshian is headlining today though, they're also really great I think, and make a lot of useful light products and such. For them, I'll come back in to play for another few days ;-)

I have to agree, I'd like the wording to be a little less sensationalist. Not a big deal to me however, I'm immune to sales language by now.

You're not the only one.  "Where is Meshgrabber 4?" seems to be on it's way to becoming DAZ's "unsolved mystery" equivalent to "Where is Jimmy Hoffa?," "Is Elvis really still alive?", and "What's in McDonald's Big Mac sauce?"

You're not wrong, but given how DAZ has always had a bit of an aversion when it comes to producing items that are too close to replicas of products that might be protected by strong design patents, and modern SCUBA definitely falls into that zone... I wouldn't hold my breath for too long.

Some questions are better left unanswered. =P

Its nice PA's are getting a lot of focus, and I do hope they are racking in the extra cash with all these sales.

Don't worry, I know better than to hold my breath SCUBA diving. :) Maybe I will kitbash. If I can hide some parts of the head gear/mask from those tech diving sets, I should be able to get close.

So uh, are we going to see a daz original pro bundle before the tokens I bought on Monday expire? I was kind of counting on it, and it's been a while since the last one I'm sure.

I'm in the same situation.  But if we don't get one at least we can get a giant spider!  Super scary!  Ah....yeah.

Doubtful, considering the focus is still on the PA's.

I must of got pulled in for nearly $200 but I'm happy with what I got enough to have resisted all the extensions since Monday.

If you look at the URLs for today's latest/recent/legacy selections, they include the word "penultimate," which (first definition, American Heritage dictionary online) means "next to last." So, is Daz saying "this will go on another week," or "there will be a different set on Sunday"?

 Also a question on whether they've got the definition right as I've often heard people use it when they mean "final" because they think it sounds cooler.

They know the meaning of their words... but can you trust them?
