I love my go.. ( i actually have two- long story..)
I use it ALOT.. and its a great scrap user-upper!!!
IMHO the dies are not that expensive.. it just depends on the ones you want and if you can 'wait' for it to go on sale..
I have almost all the dies.. Hubby gets them for me for my birthday, mothers day and all the other holidays.. For my last birthday ( i think it was my birthday) he got me 4 of each size cutting mats for the go.. ( little did he know i already had a set or two of each so now I have back ups to the back up to the back up- as I go thru them very quickly anyway..
For some Its a learning curve to use it to minimize your scrap waste.. So dont get discouraged..
My favorite dies are:
2x2
2.5x2.5
Bricks
Tumblers - both small and large
Rags- all of them are great !!
9 in hex
Chisel
Apple core
And ones Im glad i have 'cause id hate to cut them by hand are:
DWR
Blazing star
Sue & Sam
I have the strips but its easier and faster for me to to rotary cut ?? by WOF - but its a breeze when im cutting scraps into strips- saves time..
* Desden & Rob Peter dies are on my wish list..
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Go..
