I agree...this is not a toy. its AWESOME! and I like that that it does not plug in or need a computer to use...the dies are worth it...I look at how much rulers and rotary blades cost...I hated cutting fabric now I love it and look forward to do it while watching TV. I never have to fuss with my shapes and its a breeze to sew. I am not one to waste money...and I would not want to quilt without one. totally worth it...and no waste..I have small dies shapes and cut them all once I am done a project. I can also cut a bunch of shapes for future quilts. I store them neatly in a box.

Honestly, for me it's worth the money, because it saves me pain from arthritis in my thumbs and pain in my back from standing so long to rotary cut, because I have degenerated discs. Very little waste fabric, because I can quickly 'rough' cut strips before using the Go. If you consider the Go an expensive toy, then you don't need it. If you think it's a tool that will help you avoid pain and make more quilts faster, then you probably both need and want it IMHO.
