I preordered one as soon as saw it was available in 2008. I bought all the dies that were made for it then too. I'm still using the same Go machine.I bought a new Go for a back up when the company was sold last year and had amazing sales. I also stocked up on mats during the sale. Mats wear out and they are very important to having accurate cuts. I would not pass up a good sale on mats.
