I, like onebyone, bought my GO early on and have accumulated dies as I found sales, deals, etc. that was before accucuilt put the control on pricing. If I were to buy now, I probably would invest in one of the Qubes/companion deals......then add on as "sales" or "really want". My stash of dies is quite large, and I have also invested in sizix big shot....some of their dies were better priced, but I must warn those who use Sizzix dies......their "assembled" size vs. "finished" size may be that 1/4" difference....
