AND NOW BUNDLEMAS

Great news, bundle lovers! I've been sitting out in the sun for the last eleven hours and it gave me a crazy idea, and potentially heat stroke! What if I do a weeklong event full of incredible bundle deals? We'd have bundles for gals, bundles for guys, bundles for animals, bundles for everyone! Bundles upon bundles upon bundles! A bundle of bundles all bundled together to form some sort of bundle Boltron, and then it would fight monsters in downtown Durem, and -- no, wait. Getting ahead of myself. That's my future movie idea. Anyway, we'll be having some amazing bundle deals throughout the entire week, so keep an eye on La Victoire to see if your favorite item -- or six -- pops up in the shop! Let's take a look at today's offering:




Our first day features some truly fabulous items! Our Girl's Bundlemas Day One bundle contains rarities like Metamorphic Fairy, Fair Apple, and even the gorgeous EI recolor Rookie's Inquiry! Our Boy's Bundlemas Day One bundle has amazing treasures, like Metal's Last Song, Legend of Fennec, and the ever suave Friday XIII. And, lastly, our Animal's Bundlemas Day One bundle contains adorable items like Miraculous Myatama and Spark Striker! Remember, future bundles will only be in the shop for twenty-four hours before they're gone, so you've gotta act fast if you want to take advantage of these incredible deals! And these bundles will only be in the shop until July 8th, 9:59 AM PST when a brand new set of bundles comes into the shop.

Merry Bundlemas, everyone, and see you soon!

PHEW.

okay, so on to the actual discussion.


~how do you feel about this collection of bundles?
~have you / will you be buying any of them?
~ and does this feel equivalent to past super bundles, or past sales?
~ are there any items you would have rather not seen in the bundles, or items you felt were unnecessary to include?

my answer:

this feels like a lot to me. is this a lot? i don't know enough about past super bundles or super bundle sales (or if we've ever even had one like this?) to know what's normal but this feels kind if abnormal

i'm just not really happy with how many super sale bundles they've released in this amount of time. i feel like gaia is trying to pressure me into buying these cash shop items or risk getting left behind (what else is new??)

that being said it's cool to see some of these items being made more available, although some i think would have been much better served being included in deflation rigs (the sketchbook series, i think, is about due for some major deflation). i do have a problem with old MC's, like the OMG and the angelic halo in other bundles, being sold directly out of the cash shop.

also as a wannabe vendor these bundles kind of bug me because i don't feel that i have any kind of security on my items' value. my only hope to keep up with the marketplace nowadays is to buy low and sell high, which sounds easy enough but is complicated by constant rereleases

[SuccuViv]

I wish they weren't weekend bundles XD but like week bundles or something, specially the Amadea one :C Eternal Chesed's price's just so ridiculous DX a week long sale of that bundle would've done wonders to it...

Making the time frame so small can only hurt their sales, right?, I mean there's stuff I'd love to own in those but they sell it for too little time for their price to drastically change :C

Astra: Horns of the Black Depths uo u I hope they keep adding it to bundles and the like~ by the way no one gets me wrong, I love that we got bundles! I hope they sell well so we keep getting those C: at 499gc or 999gc for many "expensive" items~

[Hassli]

I'm indifferent!

WOOOOH!

None of these are Diedrich green.

[Soft CeII]

I have a sneaking feeling that they will reappear...next weekend.

If it sells, they are going to sell them again at another point in the future. That's one thing we can rely on, coming from Gaia razz

[Leizce]

I like them. But I'm coming close to my buying limit. gonk

[Madam Ace]

I feel like this is yet another experimental thing from Gaia.
Combining the "limited"ness of LQIs and the ultra bargains the bundles tend to be.
Ultimate pressure to "BUY NOW!"

Just poor timing. Nobody has money.

How do I feel? Good for the people who get them and wanted stuff inside them.
My account value has taken a hit but it means other people can get stuff easier. Plus I don't give a ******** about account worth anymore. Just...More items in circulation, the better.

[candy bats]

I'm excited at the prospect of some big-ticket items dropping in price but I don't think the bundles are around long enough to have much of an impact. It also reinforces the idea that nothing you buy form the cash shop is really safe. How much did they charge for all those bloody wings and now they're in a bundle for 10 bucks? I'm pretty sure the last time they re-released the OMG Hat it was something like 120 dollars as well.

[Grandloves]

I'd like them a lot more if they were going for $5 instead of $10, that'd REALLY make the bundles seem like a deal and I could get more bang for my buck.

[Sailor Tin Nyanko]

I think many people are going,.. " Well... they aren't having Item RIGs to deflate things. Hurray! Deflation Bundles... atleast!"

I think we're used to deflation bundles being 5 dollars. Not... 10... 15... whatever these have been. So... I don't quite see these as deflation bundles the way other people are seeing them. I mean.. there have been 5 dollar bundles with 12 items... TWELVE! xp Yes, these should create some deflation. However,.. bundles that have been available for such a short time have been creating INFLATION! I mean... the over stuffed ones have made some deflation. These aren't over stuffed.


Blah...


These are great for people that currently have money/GC and see items they want in these.


I think in a few days Gaia will see consumers have more money available. 3nodding It's both the first week of a month and we're coming off of a Holiday. So the 10th through the 22nd will probably be a better range for getting consumer spending. Also, obviously, better for us because we will have a combo of money and bills paid.


Make a bunch of 5 dollar bundles and have them available from next Friday to the following Friday... MONEY! Happy Consumers <3



I won't have money though. Some people spent all their money on the Holidays and the Holiday Sales that would have been allocated to this month. Some of us will have more money in August. Some of us will have less money and more stress in August because of School... and kids going to School.

[snow danger]

I almost really wanted the light bundle, but then I realized that I'd never use the items in it and I just liked it because it was shiny.

[Amy Storm]

I feel like they're just trying to have a summer sale every weekend...and they're not hiding it well.

I miss item gens just sooo much. I haven't been able to buy anything for a long time. These bundles don't do much for prices...some of them have actually hiked prices on lesser known items. I was really hoping The Prince's Rose would drop, 'cause it's got more girl poses than guy poses and it's in the guy bundle, but of course not. Nrrgg.

[zat isnt]

ngl, i bought 3 or 4 of the Super Weekend Sale Bundles for Him. OMG's are never a bad investment. They are already up 15bn each on what they were when I got the bundles.

[Bowie-Spawan]

They're pretty awesome.
In light of them not releasing any deflation rigs for a while this is the next best thing; lots of highly sought after items for a very fair price. Granted, 5$ instead of 10$ would be even better, but considering the kind of items in them it's not too shabby.

[Slick Southpaw]

ou ou

I like them, just can't afford to get them straight from the CS

BUT I do like that the Licorice Diesel is in there. Been wanting that for the hair (since the arm mod doesn't give you nips like the original---glaring oversight I must say)

[BIacksmith]

I like them :>
But as people already said, it would be nice to see 5$ and 10$ bundles. Don't mind the 30$ ones, if people have the money to dump it on Gaia then feel free too. It's just hard for me to keep up since I'm paying bills, going out/inviting friends out and such, that I'm always struggling wether to spend money on Gaia or not. Especially if you never know if the next LQI might hit your weak spot.
