Either way, they are probably doing it by hand, so it will take a while for everyone to get it. It is not really useful until the model is released anyway :)

Just as I replied that I didn't get it yet, my email arrived! Can't wait to see what it is!

I got it. > Voucher code valid only on the new Mystery Model until April 1, 2002. I sure hope it's not an Aprils Fool's Day joke. ;)

Got mine too If it is an Aprils Fools joke are they prepared for the consequences?? :):)

I didn't get mine either. If they are doing it alphabetically, what are they up - or down - to? My last initial is "F" and I bought Mike 2 about two weeks after his debut (was strapped after buying frenzy - still am in fact). Larry F

I got mine and the email says the Daz team is busily working on this new model so we are getting close anyway, Im really anxious to see what it is.

ronknights posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 2:21 PM
I guess they're not going by alphabetical order. It's possible they're using invoice numbers or dates? I still am waiting for mine. Whimper.
KateTheShrew posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 2:29 PM
mine's here too.

Just got mine too! Damn I hate waiting!!!
Barbarellany posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 2:40 PM
I haven't go mine yet. I ordered Mike2 on 12/29, so maybe it's by order date that they are comming. Gads, I have spent almost $1500 there since May. That doesn't account for $$ spent at other sites. Hmmm... And when I bought Poser I thought it was relatively low cost. Ha!
namja1955 posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 3:01 PM
Maybe they're monitioring the message threads and if they see that you are really anxious they put you on the bottom of the list.. :) (BTW I got my e-mail and I'm a C)

I just got mine... I think they're going by order number. :)
namja1955 posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 3:58 PM
So it now appears that there are 2 mysteries. The mystery of the actual model, and the mystery of the way they sent the e-mail.
Kiera posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 4:00 PM
No e-mail here yet. sniff Wish they would tell us what the freaking model is! For 30 bucks it should be a very nice one. =)
jaybutton posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 4:09 PM
I don't think that they're going in number order because I got Michael 2 the first weekend that he was out and I still haven't got the voucher. (I'm not too worried, yet) Jay
SPIRESMEDIA posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 4:26 PM
looks out the window for the mailman maybe they sent mine by snail mail?? ;o) just kidding, daz! please don't pass me by!!!! lol

Well, FWIW, just got mine. Maybe it is an order of purchase thingy.
Barbarellany posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 7:17 PM
I am sad. Still no Voucher. Thank goodness at least you all don't already have the model. Then I would really be VERY sad.
PabloS posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 8:14 PM
I'm sure they're having a good laugh. They probably sit at their desk, bantering amongst themselves, "Hey! I know how we get the folks over at R'osity charged up. Watch this!"

Let them work... it will come, and be the better for our patience. (Translation: I can't fit another bloody thing on my hard drive, but might- just might inherit SO's aging but large G4 in March)
melanie posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 8:59 PM
Well, I'm a W and I got mine earlier this afternoon. The message states that it's a "character." So that's a hint. I'm dying to know. I hope they reveal it soon. DAZ loves to tease us. They've done things like this before. Give us hints about things way in advance, then finally let us have it. DAZ, I'm waiting....! Melanie

It's aggravating. Got the voucher, but no link to the mystery model. It's like getting a key to a new car and the car is still stuck in customs somewhere!
DgerzeeBoy posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 4:02 AM
Got mine. The e-mail says the staff is "busily working" on the model. Patience...patience...
namja1955 posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 7:46 AM
Maybe it's an invisible man character and texture.
jaybutton posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 9:17 AM
I still haven't got my voucher. Anyone else not get theirs, yet, or should I send DAZ an e-mail? Thanks! Jay
melanie posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 9:47 AM
Jay, if you bought Michael 2 you should get the voucher. I'm wondering if individual Internet providers might have something to do with it. I'm on Earthlink. It probably doesn't make any difference, but maybe some servers are slower at deliverying e-mail. [shrug] Only a suggestion. But accidents can happen, with so many customers to deal with. Last year, when the Vicki Beauty art contest was run (remember the one where you could enter an ugly Vicki?), my sister entered a piece, but it never appeared in the gallery. She contacted them and they claimed it never arrived, however, she got the "thank you for entering" screen after she submitted it. She had to resubmit it. So mayby they're still working on it. I wouldn't hurt to contact them. You might go to your purchase history screen at DAZ and make sure that your Michael 2 purchase shows on it. It could be a computer error. Melanie

I still haven't gotten mine either. I bought him on 12/21/01.
There are a lot of things worse than dying, being afraid all the time would be one.
jaybutton posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 10:36 AM
Thanks, Melanie, I'll send DAZ an e-mail. Jay
Papu posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 10:39 AM
No voucher for me either... :/ But I'm pretty confident we'll all get them - eventually.
jaybutton posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 10:41 AM
Okay, I'll wait a little longer. Thanks! Jay
melanie posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 11:29 AM
We have clear until April 1 to redeem the vouchers, so hopefully those of you who haven't received it yet will get it in plenty of time. Melanie
Papu posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 2:07 PM
I got the voucher now. It had gone to the payer's e-mail address, not mine (I got Michael2 as a gift from my bf).
bloodsong posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 4:47 PM
hah! i got mine first, i got mine first! ::does the dance of braggadoccio:: first i thought maybe they were going to release it later friday night, but... no... and then i thought, maybe it's the old 'marketing department has no clue where the production department actually IS on a product....' but naaah. they're too small a company. so MAYBE it'll be out monday. one of these days, daz is gonna learn not to release stuff on fridays and then go home all weekend ;)

Still haven't gotten mine, I'd hang on, Jay. A character, huh? HMMMMMMNNNNNN....

I got mine this afternoon, and tucked it safely away in a couple places. I advise everyone else to do the same. Ron

Not only have I kept the original e-mail in my in-box, but I've saved a copy of it in My Documents, just as a backup. I don't want to lose this, after all the waiting. :) Melanie

jaybutton posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 11:11 PM
I still haven't got mine, yet, either kieraw. I hoping that I didn't think it was junk e-mail and deleted it. I don't think that's the case, though. I relatively new to Poser, maybe they're going in order of seniority. :P Jay
ronknights posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 6:47 AM
You want to be careful when looking at your email. I was looking for one that said it was from DAZ3D. Instead mine said it was from AnneMarie White. Luckily, I remembered that name. But if you're not thinking, and you see that, you might delete it by mistake. Ron
melanie posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 7:41 AM
And the subject line says, "Mystery Model Voucher (Order xxxxx), with the X's being a number. So, hopefully, you would have recognized it. I hope you get it soon. Melanie
jaybutton posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 9:42 AM
Hmmm . . . I do remember getting an e-mail from AnneMarie White, but I don't remember seeing anything about a voucher in the message. I'll have to see if I saved the message when I get home from work tonight. prays under breath Jay
DAZ3D posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 12:46 PM
No Aprils Fool Joke by DAZ!! Although we are not announcing a released date, there is a real Mystery Model that is being created right now by artists at DAZ. But, as usual our production team is getting carried away with development adding features. J But you know what this means, a better product for you! Orders placed prior to January 21 for the Michael 2.0 Upgrade, vouchers are going out by hand. If you purchased the Michael 2.0 Upgrade you should have already received an email with your assigned voucher code. If you have not received that email please contact me at annemarie@daz3d.com. Order placed prior to January 15 for the full version Michael 2.0, vouchers are being sent out by hand today-tomorrow. Thanks for your patience. When you receive the voucher, just hang on to it. When the Mystery Model is released it will be announced publicly and will be in our store. Dont worry; there will be enough to go around. To obtain the Mystery Model act as you are purchasing the Mystery Model enter the voucher code and the model is yours free to download. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us! Thanks, AnneMarie DAZ

Ack! I just checked my DAZ receipts (sure is a lot of those) and I ordered Michael 2 on January 22nd. It looks like I must have received the e-mail and deleted it or never received it. I guess I'll send AnneMarie an e-mail with my order number. :S Jay
jaybutton posted Tue, 29 January 2002 at 12:45 PM
Hurray! Got my voucher today! (Thanks to everyone at DAZ!) It will be locked away in my Saved file until DAZ announces the release of the Mystery Model. So what is the Mystery Model going to be anyway? ;) Jay
