Why do so many people repeat the idiotic chorus of "V3 is free, so all other figures are expensive"? Get a grip! V3 is what is known in marketing terms as a loss-leader. That means it is sold (or given away) at less than its market value in order to attract customers to buy related products at full value. V3 wasn't always free, remember? DAZ has already made a lot of money selling a huge number of copies of her, many more copies than they ever expected to sell, I'm sure. And they will continue to make money from all the V3 add-ons, and giving her base-figure away now will only improve that add-on market for years to come. V3 should not be used as a yardstick for assessing the value of figure packs.
