First off, I bought WW this weekend because I'm sick of buying one-off clothes for every figure I own, and because most of what I can get free is for V3, a model I paid full retail for and have never, ever used. (I used Steph and Steph Petite till Judy came along, then added her. Rarely used Barbie... er, Vickie 2, either.) I have bought clothes and props for Jessi, which is my main model, and I would buy stuff for the other P6 guys. (Did anyone ever make anything for a P5 child? Ever?) I bought AM the moment it was released, and I expect I will use it eventually, but not yet. Miki on release and I buy stuff for her and use her. I'd have bought Koji if ef had priced him better. Still might one of these days. I have a few Aeon critters that haven't gotten much use, but I bought them for the same reason I bought WW, to leverage my other DAZ investments. And yes, I would pre-order Venus on the strength of AM. That said, I have spent at most $20 at DAZ in the last year since letting my PC expire. They don't give people what they want or need; they sell wanting. How many of you "wanted" a bunch of hokey "Dragon World" costumes with B movie taglines? 3D potato chips. It's like McDonald's: Everybody hates 'em and disses the food, but we all go there. Not because we WANT a cardboard burger, but because everybody goes there. I quit trusting DAZ products when they clogged up my runtime with !V3 folders. And I quit trusting DAZ (and yes, this is a PERSONAL promise!!!) when sleazemeister marketing decided to mug us with a clownfish. Nice muggers are still muggers, even if they decide mugging is not good business. They make some good stuff, and I buy it if I need it. I bought the Castle kit a few weeks ago. But I glance at the "people just bought" stuff at the bottom of the page, and it's obvious that their market is driven by perceived need. If they did a miserably rigged vampire mole with blurred textures, people would suddenly realize that they WANTED a vampire mole!!! Pathetic, but welcome to ConsumerLand. M
