Please hold another Revive the Past sale!

I'm sorry...I don't think I am familiar with this sale. What was that one?

Oh..I looked that one up and understand what you are asking. We cannot do that one again, as it cause a lot of issues with trying to get vendors paid for what was sold due to not having updated information. We are allowing any vendor to bring back past items, by updating it a bit. So maybe some of those will return.

Awww... Really? That's too bad. I've been hoping for something like that again myself. I'd particularly like to grab more clothing for Aiko 3, David 3, Hiro 3, and Stephanie 3. Since I've been spending months plowing through, correcting and organizing my Poser content as I install it into new runtimes, I now realize I don't have very much for them. Of course, Poser Pro 2014 likes to destroy random odd bits old golden oldies sets, so buying old outfits would be a gamble, and so i'd only play very reasonable, bargain prices...

I understand. And i liked the idea myself..I came up with it. LOL but it just was a nightmare for payments and accounting.

Oh, I bet it was. Maybe some golden oldies clothing will return via Prime at some point. I've been kind of surprised more hasn't. I have seen some nice older characters pop up, but not much in the way of other add-ons for the "old" figures. Then again, I'm not a flavor of the month person, and don't have a problem using 'old" figures. Especially if I can find "new to me' shiny stuff for them. I'm currently working on the older Daz Kids' runtime (prior to K4). LOL

I love anything kids or toons. Your talking my language. I still play with them also!

I have spent more of my time in Poser with toon since round about 2007. I started out wanting to do "serious" fantasy art. That didn't last very long once I met my first toon. I found I relaxed better when learning Poser (version 6) with toons (started in late 2005). I think the first toons that caught my imagination where Netherworks' "ScareToon" but I've come to love them all. Although, I will admit, I'm partial to Kiki by Littlefox. I'm pleased she's been experiencing small resurgence of popularity and getting new stuff on and off for the last couple of years.

Love LOVE LLF's Toons! Any of them. Also a fan of Nursoda. I always wanted to make add-ons for Toon Clothing and maybe some characters. Never did.

Littlefox's and Nursoda's toons are some of the first figures I started working on re-building runtimes after my crash last January. Most of the Littlefox humanoids and the Plushies are back on my drive. All of Nursoda's stuff is back. I was pleased to add Holke as a new addition when he arrived, though I haven't spent much time working with him. I want to get my toon animals and other creatures back in a runtime, but haven't decided how to organize them.. LOL So many decisions to make.

So many decisions, so many toys..and so LITTLE time!! I know!

Yeah, having to re-build more than a decade's worth of runtimes' contents is not fun. However, I'm trying to do it the right way this time and make sure everything is problem-free before final install and everything is nice organized to boot. Since my old runtimes were fairly simple, especially when it comes to toons, that means making some deciosns about where i want to put things. Before 2017 crash, my toon runtmes were:

Toons - 3DZ (The3DZone) Toons - Daz Toons - Netherworks Toons - RdNA Toons - Misc

A couple of the runtimes were gigantic. So, I'm giving most figures their own runtime. With exceptions, I've bunked some together, depending on content. Sadie and Sam share a runtime. Ichiro 1 &2 and Kyle share a runtime.

Nursoda's figures are in one runtime. That was just a no-brainer. The runtime did turn out bigger in size than I figured it would, but all of his great figure have a home again. I think the only figure and add-ons I'm "missing" is the pig figure and his stuff. LOL

I have to figure out what I'm going to do with some of the more oddball stuff, like 3DZ light bulb or heart with hands and feet. Do i consider them "creatures" and lump them in with animals for let's say, "Toons - Crittters? as a runtime...? So many decisions. LOL

I wish you could persuade samildanach to reissue some of her discontinued stuff!

Oh, that would be cool. There was one for V3 that I missed that had a cool hair prop. I want to say it was called "Black or White" or something similar. ..

I was close. It was Black & White https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/black-amp-white/50826

wanmtr had a roaring twenties to maybe 30s set with a car and props I'd like. Don't recall the last name... It was something "Complete" as it was as bundle...

The other thought would be Renderosity could perhaps buy the older content from the vendor. I still buy some the very older items that are Rpublishing releases purchased from artists.

(Assuming the vendors still have the files themselves!) That would help. Vendors wouldn't necessarily have to update anything as in many cases it wouldn't matter about the age of the item (i.e. V3) as some of us want the older morphs.

The lwanmtr set was Era 1930 Compplete. Period stuff like this is pretty rare.

It's an idea. Send me links to any you feel might still be a good find. I just don't have the time to sift through to find such gems. But I'm not against contacting vendors to see about purchasing them.

Given how many people keep complaining that there aren't enough new Poser format products coming out, it might not be a bad idea to go back and have vendors who want to re-release some of their discontinued characters/costumes/etc to see if they sell better now that the market isn't so cluttered. That certainly seems to work in some cases with vendors who've let product leave Renderosity for other stores and then bring it back here.

Personally, I thought the relive the past sale was one of the best things Renderosity ever did and I spent a bundle during it. I'd have spent even more, however, if I'd had more forewarning and a chance to plan for it.

We have an open offer for ANY vendor to bring back past products. We tell everyone that as well. Unfortunately not many take us up on the offer.

Cool. Thanks. ?

There are a few items here that are alternate textures (by other vendors) for items the original vendors pulled from the store. I'd like to buy both them and the content but...

Yeah, remembering the names of things, or the vendor associated with them, isn't always easy.

Extreme Themes used to have some cute sets for Mil Baby 3. I think I missed at least one and I think it had a flower theme. Maybe seedlings or something like that? Here are the ones I could dig up.

ETDA's Babies "Veggies" https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=44013

ETDA's Babies - "Perky Blends" https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=44115

ETDA's Babies "Fresh Fruit" https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=43918

ETDA's Babies "Household Hijinks" I bought this one at 3DCommune before they disappeared and couldn't find a link...

I just posted a pic using Household Hijinks here: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/cookie-thief/2809910/

I changed the texture on the canister to say Cookies instead of Sugar.

Another option would be to have a vote on what items would customers like to have return to the store. Kind of like a kickstarter pledge.

Erm... not really into voting sales as they're just a form of popularity contest. I'd just rather see good products brought back at reasonable prices so I can shop at will. And as as budget allows.

I was just thinking it would be a way to let vendors a large group was interested in bringing a product back.

It's all a catch 22 and there's not much logic to it. The basic situation is that vendors don't think the product was wanted at Renderosity since it was removed after going thru clearance, Renderosity's clearance process itself has a couple of major issues (most notably the glitch the fact that items in clearance are going to be less likely to sell in clearance than out of it except during the random $3.50 sales, since they're not eligible for sales and the locked-in clearance discount is lower than the discounts 50-60% discount that most of the same vendor's products frequently get.) and, meanwhile, most of the newer customers don't even know that the older product ever existed, and wouldn't know to ask for it to be brought back AND there a number of products that have been removed not because they weren't selling, but because the PA left the store for other reasons.
