You can get a Big Kick (same machine as the Big Shot, but white & red instead of black & pink) at Mike's, Jo's, etc. Use the 50% coupon and it's under $50 for the machine. It'll cut anything and can accommodate any die.
The Big Kick is different than "the old red Sizzix." The Big Kick has a little bit of red on the top part where you hold it and on the handle, and the underside of the base is red. I think sometimes people may be talking about one "red machine" when they mean one "machine with a bit of red" and vice versa!
The thin Sizzlits dies are not meant to cut chipboard.
With some shims or the Sizzix multi-platform (it's like a book with various thicknesses of shims), you can use Sizzlits in a Big Shot/Big Kick.
