I hadn't been to CP in a very long time. I must say, I've been spoiled by Rendo and RDNA and DAZ. At CP it seems like a lot of the products (at least in the Props and Scenes category) look like the Free Stuff here at Rendo. Not the quality, I don't know about that since I haven't bought the stuff, but the presentation: primitve figures in stiff poses and weird expressions  used to populate the scenes, primitve lighting and renders that make the textures look primitive and amatuerish as well. Kinda turned me off. Like a lot of them were somebody's first attempt at making something. Other categories, like Figures and Clothing, aren't as bad.

Even with 60% off, I walked away without buying. I was tempted by a $16 Miki 3 (whose regular price is $40, which seemed a lot). But then I thought I'd have to buy a lot of new clothing that only fits Miki 3. I haven't beem able to get Wardrobe Wizard 2 to work well for me.

Still, if there's something you've been waiting to buy from SM or CP, 60% off makes it a good time to do it.
