Interesting idea in theory, but I'm not sure it works so well in practice. For example, having a score board on the surface of your trimmer means no extra squares or measurements, and if you press down too hard while holding it for cutting you're going to get creases. And then there's the fact that most people already have some, if not all of these tools...
Could be good if you're really limited on space or for a travel kit?

I could see it being useful for travel, but I would worry that there are a lot of little parts to be lost, especially if they aren’t very secure in the platform. I’d say it’s a cool idea, but the execution seems clumsy. But then, I have a large space that isn’t completely full, so what do I know.

tons of other vids showing it used to make banners, pom poms, etc.

That could be awesome for school. Storage is such a premium in my classroom and there are times we make banners, envelopes, pompoms, etc.
If it ever goes on amazing sale or clearance I might just get one.

Ooof, that price point is a definite no for me. I'm assuming that's inflated to allow for 40% off coupons...
And they're bringing out a tool to eliminate the need for a dozen of the tools they've been flogging for the past few years?
I'll take a look at the video anyway. I'm sure there are a lot of people who will find the combination useful at the right price and I'm generally a bigger fan of multi-use tools rather than unitaskers, just as long as they work well. Good for people who have resisted buying all the previous tools but a bit of a kick in the teeth if you already bought all their other banner, pompom, envelope and tab tools.
ETA: the video makes it looks pretty cool but with my critical eye I'm thinking the stamp tool probably doesn't work terribly well, I hate those kinds of trimmers, the tab cut didn't actually line up very well, etc etc... I don't think I'll be tempted.

I quite like the idea of that! Yes I have a score board and separate trimmer and separate hole punches, but this would be a huge space saver and space is always at a premium in my craft room. Plus I like the idea of always having everything with me so when I go somewhere. Very cool. Unfortunately that price point keeps it outside of what I am willing to spend.

It looks very cool and useful, but I could never use it as my main trimmer because of the punches on the swing arm. I like trimmers that don't need the swing arm opened unless needed for measuring--the punches would be in the way if I needed to trim anything bigger than 6 inches.

Good idea bit I already own all the things I’d want from the tool— trimmer, scoring board, envelope maker, and a few others. I’d probably never use the banner and Pom Pom makers. For that price I can get that CM paper trimmer I’ve been eyeing. Of course that won’t stop me from reading the reviews. .

I love it. I saw this release a couple of weeks ago. I wrote in another thread this weekend how I love those WRMK tools. It's not needed but they are so much fun. So when I saw this tool I am like "That can replace all my little tools I keep buying at Tuesday Morning!" ROFL!
I don't know if I will get it. I already have the other ones. I don't think it's priced too bad. The Envelope Punch board and stamp press together are the same price as this tool. The only drawback to this tool, IMO, are the blades are proprietary. We all know how frustrating proprietary blades are especially whey they are discontinued.

I think it looks very clunky. And too many bits and bobs to misplace.
I like tools that do a singular task very well, instead of a multitasker that does a bunch of things just so-so.
And that price? Ha, no.

Maybe for travel or if you're really short of space but otherwise I prefer individual tools - might be ok for scoring but I don't see that the stamping area or the trimmer would work that well.

Extreme scrapbooking! Now we’re talking! I can only imagine the Swiss army tools to come next. I kind of love it, but it makes me laugh at the same time.
Great if you didn’t already have any of these items separately, or if you’re tired of your *ahem* pile of tools to sort through.

If it is $70 US it will be over $100 in Canada. That is too much. It looks cool but I am a lefty so I imagine it is not very friendly for me.

I think this would work for someone who doesn't have the majority of these tools already, or doesn't have the space for separate tools. For me, there is too much going on on one platform, without much room to work. I feel like I wouldn't have enough space to work on with this tool, and besides I already have several trimmers, score boards, a ribbon tool, pom pom tools, and stamp tools and all of the WRMK punch boards. I have a ton of tag dies, don't make banners, or need to tab pages. This isn't something I will buy.

i already have a bunch of their punch boards separately and since i don't use them all at the same rate, it's easier for me to pull them out as needed. i also have a great trimmer and score board. my Fiskars self sharpening paper trimmer is probably better than that one in the all-in-one so i'll stick to that one. the other punch boards are small and easier to store than this bulky thing so i think it will a pass for me.

to eliminate the need for a dozen of the tools they've been flogging for the past few years? Yup. Exactly what I thought...never mind all those other "had to have" tools...

I thought it was cool. I love me a good scrappy tool. I go to a lot of crops and this would be useful as an all in one. I'll wait for the reviews and the price point in Canadian dinaros.

I don’t own a score board or any kind of punch board (I do have the word punch set) I think this is something I would pick up at the right price...like with a 55% off coupon (I have an AC Moore app which always has that coupon and I use it at Michael’s).

Hmmm, we talked about this at our Friday night scrapping get-together. I like the idea but really I think I would only use it for traveling (ie., keep it in the travel trailer). At home I'm so used to grabbing the assortment of tools that I use all the time. Also, $70? Hmmm....
EDITED TO ADD: $56.25 on Amazon. Hmmm, again.....

If you think about it the price really isn't that bad
A trimmer is what $30, a score board same. A punch board ...same
Is it a tool for me ... No not at all. I wouldn't mine seeing it in action in person.

It would be the perfect gift (at 50% off) for a new crafter.

Unfortunately JoAnns ( at least my JoAnns ) now considers WRMK things ‘paper cutting machines’ ( as in cricket or cameo ) and the coupons no longer work. No, the coupons do not say no WRMK but the register won’t take it & the manager won’t over ride it. In fact that particular manager was quite rude to me for even trying to use it ( those coupons have always worked on WRMK in the past )
Which means I won’t buy WRMK stuff at JoAnns any more because it’s over priced compared to buying it online. It pissed me off enough that I haven’t been back yet just to browse, which I did at least once a week because it’s right here. I’m not boycotting I’m just waiting for the annoyance to wear off.

It would be the perfect gift (at 50% off) for a new crafter. Great idea! Our nephew's wife is a fledgling card maker and I have been giving her a scrappy tool each Christmas. So far, she has a Big Shot and a precision pro stamp platform. This would be the perfect gift for her! I wonder if they will have one in Michaels on Friday when I am there. Wonder if my coupon will work?
