I just don't believe it...having waited all this time for the much coveted Big Shot to arrive, there I was merrily cutting out some bits and bobs...and the perspex plates have broken!! How annoying is that???!!! Seems to be a design fault...anyone else got cracks on their perspex plates yet??? Mine started cracking within the first few times of cutting...then finally snapped in half. I am so upset with my new toy...
