first, not buy from DAZ? do i have a choice? its easy to say dont buy....but im no 3D super duper genius like some of you guys who "can whip up a figure in a day." ooo! i need figures....who else creates versatile figures like DAZ figures? ye theres Dacort and MayaDoll but how much accessories are out there for them? not much eh? besides i cant use MayaDoll cause its soo geared to look Japanese and Animeish.....pretty difficult to make it not look otherwise.....cant deal with that....so what's left? DinaV? not much stuff for that too...AHH! i know! Vicky! lots of stuff for it! anyone else? i need a figure thats more high res than the P5 or P4 figures and none else exists other than the DAZ figures...so whats my option other than not buy from DAZ? i live in the US...i need food...say i dont want to buy from stores in the US.....so where do i get em? import from China? nah man....i gots to buy from US stores.....right? second--basic economics tells you its more expensive to sell things individually than as part of a whole group.....what do you think will be more expensive? a new whole car? or buy the car's parts individually and put them together? there are some exceptions to this but by and large that is what happens. well......im just paranoid....i read too many economics and Mao Tse Tung books.......maybe i should read my Poser 5 manual more.......that way i can upgrade from having problems mainly cause i'm new to Poser (as Rising_Phoenix always tells me) to problems due to my being a Super Poser 5 Master (get it? my problems are increased from level 1 to level 10...more complex....right?)...heh...
