Cricut Expression 2 !!!!

What?????  A New Cricut Expression?  When will it ever end? No wonder that the Expression is being sold on a much lower price.  Anyway, the new Expression 2 features a full color touch screen, a few new options and most all the abilities of the old Expression. AND it uses all the cartridges including the Imagine cartridges which is a nice feature. It's available for only a short time (according to the video) but first PC gives us no information as to price or where to get it but then crafty friends got hold of information:

• The anniversary edition in green will only be available for a limited time. (maybe it's an HSN exclusive?) It will launch on HSN on April 26. MSRP is $399
• The ANNIVERSARY EDITION is only out for a limited time, but the regular edition of the E2 will be out after that.
• It IS Gypsy compatible

Honestly, I find it great but I stay away from using inks due to the fact that it would be costly for me ordering from USA online stores all the time.  Besides, I'm super duper happy with my Expression.   I like the old Expression, with the overlays. I think the new E2 is great, that you can use the Imagine carts with this, but the cost of the new machine plus inks doesn't make me drool.  PC seems to always come out with very very expensive items... and then change their minds and by next year it's on sale!!   They just came out with Cricut Imagine, right?  Oh my PC is making us slaves hahahahahahhahahahahahha.
