Sizzix Big Shot Plus (new wider machine)

A question about : Sizzix Big Shot Plus (new wider machine)

Looking on the .com website, it looks like Sizzix are bringing out a wider machine named the Big Shot Plus.

It states to check craft shops in May, but that's America, so don't know when they'll be available in the Uk.

(that'll give you all a few months to save up )

Best answers:

• I've been looking for this machine as I love my Big Shot. I just got an email from onceuponastamp.co.uk stating that they will have the Big Shot Plus ready to ship in late March. They are offering 2 packages on pre-order with NON-REFUNDABLE deposits. The basic machine costs Ј125. I wonder if others will be selling it?
• It looks like they are going to make all the Big Shot machines in the new colour of white and grey. (prefer my pink and black one.)
  Am I dreaming or did they stop making the electric Express machine? If so, looks like it's coming back. (on the American site it states August.)
• I've just been looking on Youtube. I typed in big shot plus and watched the video by scrapmadesimple.
  Start watching the video from approx 4mins 20 seconds to see the machine.
  I then carried on watching and saw the Sizzix transfer pad.
  You use a platform with Sizzix foils and thin dies. It doesnt cut the die shape out, but foils the image on to the paper. It looks fantastic.
  Edited to say, I just watched a different video which states they've improved the machine rollers, so no more bowing of the cutting plates.
• It looks amazing, tried it at Stitches at the weekend. Looks like it will be Ј160 for the machine and the cutting pads, and there will be a starter pack with great dies in it too.
