The demonstrators were provided a link for a sales brochure but I don't think that it's available on the customer side yet. Probably sometime at the end of the month since they will be available for purchase September 1
My question...will any dies be usable with the cuttlebug? MaggieSt
most will -- a few will not (too wide by about 1/2 inch). check out these two links to get an idea of how to use some that at first appear to be too large:
Are there going to be any embossing folders from SU?
We asked the ladies demo-ing the Big Shot at convention this question, and we were told yes! We got to see a sneak peek of one too. Just wait until the mini-catalog comes out - I think most people will be pleased!
this is something I posted on another thread...the Bold were the questions asked that I answered
1. Is the Big Shot a little bit wider than the CB? I couldn't find dimensions anywhere.
Yes the BS is a little bit wider - the CB is about 5 3/4" wide or so...whereas the BS is a scootch over 6" wide
2. Are some of the SU dies too wide for the CB?
Yes the SU XL Bigz (pennant and basket one) will not fit into the CB as they are 6" x 13"+ but the rest should fit just fine since they are 5 1/2" x 6" (so you can feed it the 5 1/2" way)
3. I saw that someone posted that BS dies can break in the CB. Has anyone actually experienced this?
Actually not really the BS dies breaking...but the "sandwich" I use for when I use the Sizzix dies in my CB involves just the cutting plates and the CB exerts alot of pressure on the plates which can lead to them cracking a lot easier...
4. Can the CB cut all of the same materials that the BS can?
Pretty much yes...BUT when using a big sixxiz die in your CB you have to be aware of the thickness of your material...I can cut lightweight and medium weight chipboard in my CB using a Sizzix die but anything thicker than the medium weight chipboard is really straining my CB

The Bigkick and the Big Shot are the essentially the same machine with a different looking outside. So any of the SU dies should work in the BigKick and all but the largest should work in the other machines as well.

Actually, people HAVE used the XL Bigz in their CB - you just have to rig the cutting plates to work. Indigo Inklings (blog link above) suggests using two sets of the Sizzix long narrow plates side by side. (follow her addendums from the post linked above). HTH!
