Default Does Micheals carry the Big Shot or Vagabond?

Does anyone know if Michaels sells the BigShot? My Cuttlebug is on it's last legs and I have gone through my Grand Calibre and Vagabond (whimpering so much about the Vagabond - l LOVED it!). Our nearest Micheals is 40 miles away, so I don't want to waste a trip....yi yi yi!

My Michael's usually has them in stock, but I would call the store first to make sure. BTW, you can't use a coupon on any die-cutting machines or accessories.

I just read the Michael's coupon and it excludes silhouette and circuit products, but doesn't mention die cutting machines otherwise. So I would ask!

I bought a big shot for my sister-in-law's birthday at Michaels two weeks ago and used a 50% coupon.

Our local Michael's stores tend to carry the Big Kick rather than the Big Shot. But the two machines are the same, except for the appearance - kind of like identical twins wearing two different outfits.

The Big Kick I bought in early 2007 still works perfectly, so IMO you should have no concerns about quality if you get a Big Kick vs. a Big Shot.

Thank you! That was my next question.....I called my local Michaels and they only carry the Big Kick....but I wasn't sure what the difference was! So thank you!

I stand corrected. They must have changed that, because the coupon exclusions used to include "all die-cutting machines and accessories," and I remember not being able to use a coupon on a regular-priced Sizzix die that I wanted to buy. I'm glad they changed it, and I'm sorry for the misinformation. Sometimes their system is inconsistent, because the 40% coupon I had on Friday worked on a Silhouette cover. Go figure.

They'll replace it at no charge if it's still under warranty, and will sell you a replacement cheaper than replacing with a new one. If mine goes out again I will not replace. I purchased a Big Shot Pro, and rarely use the Vagabond these days.

Need to clarify: they'll sell you one at a discount if it's out of warrenty.

Joanns has the Vintaj version on sale online for $59.99 if you don't mind that brown color. I think they have a coupon for free shipping also.
