I thought it should be much less than the $49.99 you quoted since the whole Genius Platform is $49.99. Great review, though... now I think I "need" one of these! Unfortunately, I have a stockpile of new cutting plates, though that I've bought with 50% off coupons, so I guess I'll be using those before I can buy this. :(Colorado Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595373334246443398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5274955737755080839.post-48196773664107465152013-07-01T09:34:09.302-04:002013-07-01T09:34:09.302-04:00What are the thickness dimensions of the magnetic ...What are the thickness dimensions of the magnetic platform, mat a, and mat b? how do they compare to the thickness of Cuttlebug plates?

I bought one...Like others have said, great review!! I bought one of these a couple of months ago and it's one of the best purchases I've made for my Big Shot. The only thing I've used this platform is for my metal dies. I love how it's possible to put down a bunch of small dies onto the platform and cut it all at one time. I knew this platform could do so much more but I hadn't looked into yet and didn't even realize that a second B plate was necessary. I guess this explains why my local scrapbook store has them sitting on the shelf...lol. I've tried this with all of my metal dies (sizzix, memory box, papertrey ink, my favorite things, verve, wplus9, etc...). It works like a charm, even on the dies with more fussy detail. Thanks for showing me some of the other stuff this thing can do :) janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682340074465042724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5274955737755080839.post-17609775897308837522013-05-06T17:33:03.701-04:002013-05-06T17:33:03.701-04:00Cool!

Allthough...Thank you so much for your great review.<br />Allthough I dont understand that you say they wont fit in the Cuttlebug. On their homepage it is told that they will fit in CB as well. I would really love to invest in these if I can use them in CB.<br />Thanks again. So kind of you to share this info !!!<br />Hugs from SPAINmamablitgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746773830198886153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5274955737755080839.post-86097809248781872702013-05-05T20:02:58.290-04:002013-05-05T20:02:58.290-04:00That was a great help!

I have a Vagabond in addition to my CB so have bought multiple sets of plates for the two machines. I've got a couple of sets of backups still in the packaging so I'm set for a while but when the Sizzix need replacing I'll give the Genius system serious consideration. It's good to know that the Memory Box worked - I love the patterns but seldom buy them because I have one die that will NOT release the paper no matter what I try for wax paper/shim combos. I don't craft to be frustrated!!!<br />Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5274955737755080839.post-85460220673338543052013-05-05T16:11:27.822-04:002013-05-05T16:11:27.822-04:00Wow!

Plus, all the different plates I have take up so much room. Definitely going to have to think about getting one of these.<br /><br />Thanks for the review!
