*Personally I don't buy at DAZ, why should I?

*Sorry I should have said Personally I don't buy at DAZ anymore, why should I? But I also stated..... There are a few exceptions like Dinoraul, Faveral, Stonemason, Digital I & Gareee :-)

But by now even from them I don't buy anymore, I've got enough dinos, creatures, scifi & medieval items to keep me happy for ages to come. I lost interest in V4 quite quickly, a lot of the releases geared towards her look very similair to me. Same with the dinos & creatures, I'm not even looking at new releases anymore, my runtime is full enough of them. Scifi & medieval the same... these theme has been done extensively and a lot of the recent releases have been done in some form or shape before.

Basically I lost interest in the DAZ store, prices going up, most items released have been done in form or shape before and the themes they're catering to have been almost beaten to death. I don't believe in store or "brand" loyalty either..... But there are some brands I don't buy and stores I do never never visit, due to their policies or or just being overpriced.

Why would I when it comes to content want to buy similair items over and over again? Some time it just simply ends. I don't need to follow the next hype and buy everything I've bought for the previous figure all over again. I really don't need creatures or dino number 100, if I didn't even get around using creature/dino #99 & #98 & #97 ..... & #25. I really don't need the next scifi outfit or enviroment if I already have a hard time choosing from the ones in my runtimes. And so on and so on and so on. So, buying at DAZ is just becoming one big waste of money, since most of the new releases are in my runtimes already, perhaps slighty different, but still good enough to be used.

People can buy whatever they like, but I rahter use what I've got already and spent the money on something I don't have or something more usefull then the next figure or outfit that comes along. Many of us are buying and buying and never using it, I decided to quit the rat race and use what I've already got and actually make some images instead of always hunting for the next new item. Visiting these shops can take up so much time....... at time this poserverse seems more like on huge shopping mall then a community of 'artists'.

Artwork and 3DToons items, create the perfect place for you toon and other figures!

Food for thought.....
