Most sales and promotions have an end date listed on the item page, but I don't see one on the new La Femme figure. https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=135377
Anyone know when the promotion will end?

I noticed that as well, so have no idea, though I would assume it'll be a bit longer than the sale end date for all the add-ons. At least I hope so, but you never know.
Other stores have done the same with new characters they started offering, and usually it's for a nice length of time. Maybe one of the moderators here can find out.

I hope you're right. Thanks to the screw up of the free not being free, I have to wait till Friday to get this new model.

La Femme is free. The only thing you're paying for is the other item in the cart at the time of purchase. The store is just asking that you purchase something over $3.50 in order to get any free items. Some think that's the same as paying for the free item, but it really isn't.
I just think they should've had a "warning" about it on the promotional, and product, pages about having to have a minimum purchase of $3.50 at the same time.

There is little point in debating marketing semantics in my opinion, Miss B. Nothing is free if there is a catch. The creators of the figure may not be getting anything, but I must side with those who say that if you need to spend money in order to get it, it does not matter what you are technically spending the money on, one is not getting the claimed free content at no cost. There is plenty of free content available that does not require a purchase, so how then does one classify that? More free? Extra free? The term 'free" is an absolute, and qualification therefore means that it is not. The term "free with purchase" is pure marketing and an oxymoron.
For the record, I did make a purchase and get the figure, but I certainly don't believe that I got it for free. I got it as part of a bundle that I purchased that included the figure and the other content.

Someone gifted it to me when they bought something from the marketplace..... IT NEVER SHOWED UP.
