Thank God It's Friday and no doubt you will be tempted to try your luck this week-end!

But first of all, let's have a look to what we have released this week! You'll be happy to welcome Paulina and Helene whose first show has been released today! The bad news is that there will be only two shows of Helene, as we had to interrupt the shooting ! The poor girl had a torticollis.

Releases of this week




Lucky Box

Here is a new edition of our Lucky Box offer!!
The lucky box is one of the promotions that offers the biggest discounts, so let me remind you how it works :)!

Each box contains 5 cards picked up from all the collections available (with priority given to the best quality ones) PLUS 1 to 5 cards added for FREE.

Where to find the lucky box?

  • Go to featured
  • Click "Lucky Box"

You can open as many boxes as you want till the promo ends on Sunday midnight (PST).

Usually don't buy "offers" when I can't see what's offered.
Did today - and now I remember why I shouldn't.

2 crystal, 2 medium, 1 standard.
Extras: 1 medium and 1 classic.
(Seems that gives priority to medium quality...)

In all 1 from wishlist.
So I just paid 56.1 credit, to get one card I wanted and 6 I don't care about.
Waste.

Totally on accord,
I'll choose cards this week from my wishlist (like all weeks with "lucky" box or slot machine), don't need cards I can't see before i buy them.
Not a lucky day when you got just 1 card you want and 6 good for garbage
and no way to trade cards you don't want for credits.

I bought the pack just to try @Lukaszr 's TGIF viewer. Work's like it is supposed to. As for buying cards that are unseen, well, as a mobile user pretty much every card is bought unseen anyways.

I prefer to pay the normal price for what I like rather than buy cheaper something I can not see. For me, it's no promotion.

Agreed @77mic77.


At least the 3 new cards this Friday are interesting.
To my own taste naturally.

Will ad few more favorites until a good promo shows up.
Maybe get a card or two.

Get to the store, the men at the counter put's a box on the counter.
A closed box where you don't see what is in it naturally.
It's stuff from that store.

Let's say It's a tool store since I am interested in tools.

"Hey Serge"
"I have a good deal fo you"
"Put down the money and you will get 20% more worth of it"

I may get the value that is proposed.
Store owner point of view.

After getting the box empty well...
One usefull tool to add to my set, five on a shelf.

Finally I paid that usefull tool more than it's real, usefull price.

This is how I see this TGIF promo.
This is my past experience of it.

@gkar45, do you often buy "unknown stuff" at the store?

My advice to new comers?

Make your own choices, make your own mistakes like we all do.

@Serge257

To be honest, your tool shop comparison is not really fair, is it... In this promo with iStripper you might get, what, a couple euros worth of cards you didn't want - I don't think this would be the amount of such tool surprise deal, if you got a case full of useless tools 😀.

I just bought one lucky box for the heck of it and got 8 cards for 46 credits. Only two of them were cards that I most likely would have never bought, so not bad for me.

Then again, I get what you are saying in the type of promotion, and the principle of it. Buying something blind in principle is often not wise. But I agree with @gkar45, this must be aimed mainly for new members, still having lots of interesting cards (to them) to buy. This is a good chance to get cards you want in reasonable price AND to get introduced to performers you might otherwise omit. After all, nobody is obligated to join the wagon. One has to think for themselves if the "risk" is worth it. I also prefer promos where I know what I'm buying but I also accept that not every single promo has to be directed at me.

And iStripper must be some kind of a special case regarding some promotions apparently creating such acrimony among regular customers (not directed at you, Serge). Would anyone go that tool shop's customer service website to ***** that "this promo is not for me, screw you!". I think most of us would simply bypass it and left it at that. After all, all the cards (tools in the toolbox) are still regularly available for price that you probably think is already reasonable if you are a regular customer in the first place.

Will do in the future...

Anyway, Totem must find it's way as they bring back the promo on a regular basis.

Is the price that different between 2 diamond and 3 diamond members? I paid 75 credits for the pack, yet you only paid 46 credits for the pack. Do you get a different price because you buy your credits with Euros?

I think it's mostly about the resolution/quality of the cards in the package. My 8 cards contained 1 x Standard, 5 x Medium and 2 x Low cards. There are only 15 crystal clear cards that I'm missing, and none of theme were selected in the package - which, in hindsight, is a little surprising if indeed the priority should be in the quality/resolution of the card.

If a torticollis is anything like a tortellini, it tastes really good with marinara sauce and garlic bread...mmmm...

In all seriousness, hope you are feeling better soon, Helene.

Okay, it sounds reasonable to me that the price is based on what is inside the pack and not as a flat rate determined by a members status.

Hum...
😕

Just bought the box for 81 credits (I am diamond).
Wanted to proove "to myself" I was right...

Damn thing.
😖

That box on the counter of my tool store was full of nice tools.
Juste to make me lie and laft about my previous comment.
😲

7 cards in the 3K range:
4 that I would have bought over time
1 that I don't dislike a all, on the contrary
1 that brings me to discover Pepper XO (The card I would have choosen to do so)
1 last card that well, it depends on the show as I already have a few card of the girl
😋

I stand corrected regarding this promo.
My apologies to Totem and to the guy at the tool store.

I fail to inderstand why people ***** about offers like these. If you only want to buy specific cards then there is nothing stopping you to do that. If the offer is not to your liking then just ignore it, don't try it and then ***** that it behaved exactly as was advertised.

Because, like for me today, I feel like putting my word.
And I stand corrected.

Will I buy other boxes until I proove myself right?
Na... Not that fool.
😊

Putting your head in the sand to let things pass is a way of seiing things @TheEmu.
Peoples are human and it is in the nature of humans to do so here and there.

I for one fail to understand those who fail to understand that...
No offense.

@Serge257

You misunsterstand my point.

I perfectly understand that some people dislike these offers and wish that the offer was more suited to their particular preferences. I also understand that people do ***** about such things even if there is no logical reason to do so.

In particular I do not understand why they ***** about something that does exactly what it promises to do. Furthermore there are a few that do so over and over again - why do they keep on buying these offers when the description of the offer makes it quite clear that they will get a random selection that may or may not correspond to their particular tastes.

Totem do make special offers that suit "choosy" buyers, but they have no obligation to always do so and I see no reason to ***** if a particular offer does not suit me.

@Serge257 I'm happy that you got enough wanted cards to justify your purchase. I think my odds when purcrasing mine were even less, and luckily I wasn't disappointed either 😋 But I don't want to challenge my destiny any further, so I only took a chance on one lucky box and that was it.

Off the topic: there were some great promos in September, which made me switch all of my weekly purchases to be made on Fridays. There were these "buy 3 and get 4th free"-promos etc. which included even all the latest releases, for 3-4 weeks in a row... So, due to that, at least for the moment, I will only buy my cards on fridays in case there will be more promos including the latest cards...

I know that we are talking about savings of about a few dollars/euros with that decision, but I AM a cheapskate, always was, so here we are 😊

In my case I got exactly what the promo said.
Seven hight quality cards.

Priority was given to "best quality".
As I said I stand corrected.
😉

-----
@Birger52 (Triple Diamond) paid 56 credits.
2 crystal, 2 medium, 1 standard.
Extras: 1 medium and 1 classic.

Is the price of the box related to the "Diamond" status or to the content of the box? (Both?)
If to the content of the box then... Well... Ok.

Otherwise promo did not stand.
To my point of view.

Unless it's because user already has most of the high qality cards.
Maybe...

-----
@Dfner (Triple Diamond) paid 46 credits.
1 x Standard
5 x Medium
2 x Low

But he said mising only 15 crystal clear cards
Well... Ok...

-----
Two triple diamond user paying two different prices...
Now that's interesting.

What is the logic behind the pricing of a box?
Maybe it would help understand the promo...

But then...

To my knowledge few promos don't get arguments.
I usually pass by like Dfner was suggesting.

Why was I feeling like participating in the debate "today" ?
Maybe because I saw snow on my grass yesterday.
😖

At the end I just enjoy nice girls floating around on my screen.
Nice little bummies moving around to please my eyes.

The pricing of the box is related to the content, the 5 cards you pay (without knowing before paying).
Then, you have your member level rebate.
then, they can add 1 to 5 cards free.
So, not all pack will cost the same price, it depend of the pick.

For exemple, i pay for
1 standard quality card (20 credit)
4 medium cards (16 x 4)
and got 2 medium quality cards free.
so, 84 credits, triple diamond get 45% member level rebate
this cost me 46,2 credit.
i didn't get any crystal clear card. (still missing 209)....
in a way, you can evaluate the quality of the card you pay, before buying, with the price it cost you (but not the free ones)
With 46,2 credit, it was easy for me to know i would have 1 standard (cost me 11), and 4 medium (cost me 8.8 x 4), for 46,2 credit.

it's a great offer mostly for collectionner, or peoples with not much girls in their collection.
And, the last few weeks, week-ends deals cost me...a lot ;p
Too much good deals, too much good looking girls.
I will relaxe, and buy much less card, this week.
Have fun.

right now, my next box would cost me 50,6
so, surely 2 medium quality cards (8.8 x 2 = 17.6)
3 standard quality (11x3 = 33)
plus...x cards free.
