So who is going to join the Cricut Circle

[AlexWyattMommy]

I just got my "invite" to join the Circle.

I about fell out of my chair when I saw how much wanted.

Then I realized that it includes the 4 cartridges. Not just the opportunity to purchase. That makes it just under $69 for each cart. About retail for exclusive carts.

Going to see if I can talk DH into letting me join.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I didn't get an invite... oh well... I'll live vicariously thru you if DH lets you join!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Are you registered for reward points?
I figured that is what triggered the invite. I don't do anything else on the website. Never purchased anything from them.

 

[PinballFamily]

Hmmm...haven't done anything with the folks at PC - haven't even registered any of our carts yet (gulp!). Z2H and I have that as one of our summer projects!

Anywho, what are the four exclusive carts? French Manor I see, and are the others the animal one, the retro kitchen one, and the art deco one?

C'mon, spill the beans, cutie! And, ahem...the $?

Inquiring minds want to know!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

They didn't tell in the notice. Just that it would be announced later on.

Here is what it said:

What does life look like inside the Cricut Circle?

-Four exclusive cartridges a year, one each quarter, (starting with French Manor) ONLY available to The Cricut Circle members
-Special buying privileges like rebates, monthly coupons, and opportunities to buy other exclusive products for your Cricut, from friends and partners of Provo Craft
-Extra reward points and special cricut.com discounts
-A members-only bracelet with an exclusive Cricut Circle charm (get ready to be the envy of your friends)
-A special Cricut Circle Community will come together through an exclusive Cricut Circle forum on cricut.com
Inspiration and education from exclusive Cricut Circle webinars, swarms, meet-ups, and events
-A fun Cricut Circle blog and a monthly project-inspired online magazine to fill your mind with ideas galore
-Charter members will have access to information and opportunities to become a part of the decision making process of future Cricut products by participating on research panels

So other than the carts, I don't know if I would really use it or not.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I got mine, too! I was like you and about flipped at the price. Though, for 4 carts, that's not bad!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Hey! I signed up for rewards!!!! I want my invite... and SIOH got one..

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Turns out there is a new Xbox in town. Xbox vs Cricut. Boys vs Girl. Guess we are getting a new Xbox.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

That's hilarious, AWM!! We just had that same conversation at our dinner table. The Xbox would win here, too!!

Nan, if you want my invite, I'll send you my login stuff!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Have you seen the no controls necessary feedback add-on coming in November? It's call Kinect. I bet it blows away the Wii. No controls. How cool is that?

 

[Michellepooh]

I got my invite, and promptly deleted it when I saw the price. It was $275 (I think). I'd rather take that money and use it to buy carts that I know I would want and use. It's a great idea, just too rich for my blood.

 

[hopemax]

My email said it was sent to people who have registered their carts (I have not done this), or the top 3% of Rewards Points earners...so apparently I have done that.

The price is a bit high, even for 4 cartridges. You better like them. But we'll see.

 

[Lisa]

Boy, I got a rock.

All my carts are registered since I got my gypsy so I don't think that drives the invite.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

never heard of it.

But for $275 I don't think I'd be interested, the carts will be available on ebay soon enough.

 

[New England Eeyore]

I got the email and laughed out loud when I saw the price. I never pay full price for a cart anyway, so why would I pay almost full price for 4 carts sight unseen? 4 fantastic ones, maybe, but it's too big of a gamble.

 

[NemoMom07]

I am on the fence about it. I have been reading what everyone thinks on the cricut board. Technically you can get 5 carts for that price (that is with the extra 800 points you get). There are some questions... first are these full carts or solutions or "lites". Will I even like the other 3 carts? I do not like French Manor at all. Not my thing, but I probably could sell it on ebay and get a decent amount for it. I have no use for the 10% off at cricut.com. There stuff is too expensive. I wonder in a less than a year will the price drop dramatically like the gyspy has already done. I got my G when it was introduced. Did not want one at first, but got caught up in the hype. I do use it often. Using it now and it has saved me, because my computer crashed thus my cds is gone. So now I am without my scrapping computer,but I still can work on my MAW swap and design on my G. Ooopss got off topic. Sorry.

Anyway if I waited to get my G I would have been able to get it for 2/3 less. I believe there is some more info coming out on Wednesday about it, so I will check that out. Really not sure if it is a great deal. Now if they have an exclusive Disney cart that would be the bombshell.

 

[PaulaSue]

I got the invite. Not sure what I am doing. Very expensive IMO and not know what the carts are.

Where is the pictures of the manor one?

 

[DisneyBarlans]

I got it and I'm thinking no....I'm too cheap for something like that. I have never paid more than $45 for a cart-can't see paying $275 for only 4 carts.

 

[PinballFamily]

I'm staying up cleaning up my scrap area, blasting iTunes, and waiting until midnight, when we can book Palo for our cruise!

And, checking the DIS! Here's the link showing some of the French Manor images:

Yep, me too, DB, I have never paid more than $39 for a cart - and those were Storybook and LAB - ones I HAD to have. Cheep, cheep!
