Where is the best place to get it?? There is a "bundle" at JoAnn's with some extras (cart downloads, etc) for $199 but the manager at our local store kept saying that "it's discontinued" and they'll be getting other ones. Does it matter that that particular "model" is discontinued?
Help Peas!!

I love my Air 2. Cricut has released it in many colors now. Some are exclusive to different stores. Michaels has matte black, coral, and one more color I believe. Walmart has a Denim Blue one. Hobby Lobby has lilac. I think Joann's has pale pink. HSN has Anna Griffin colors for theirs. Cricut has the mint green, matte black, and now Sky Blue. My DD wanted the sky blue, so we bought ours on Cricut.com. I do not think they are discontinuing the machine. I think the machines exclusivity to different stores ends and they are sold other places then. $199 is a good price, depending on what extras they are including. I paid $239 for my daughter's Air 2 a few weeks ago. It included a bundle with the deep cut blade and housing, the tool kit, the scoring tool, a set of markers, a roll of vinyl, and a set of three mats. I think the bundle is $269.99 now. It seems to change every week.
I think the Air 2 is a great machine. Cricut's newest machine is the Maker. It is $400.00 though. It will eventually have the ability to cut more materials with it's knife blade when it is released. It can cut fabric with it's new rotary blade that is exclusive to that machine.
I looked at Joann's online and that bundle seems like a good deal, with the digital cartridges, and extras. Did you like that color? I have never seen that one, but it looks like a pretty color.
Another thought, you can call Provo Craft (Cricut) and ask them if the machine is being discontinued. They can definitely tell you.

Good price! I think I paid 249 last fall.
I bet just the color is discontinued.

Joann's is coming out with a metallic wisteria color Air 2. Maybe that is why the pink one won't be carried there anymore.

Yep... it's the "Rose Bundle" being discontinued. I ended up going to Michaels and getting the Coral one. I paid $249 for it but I'm ok with that (well, as OK as I can be spending that much money on ME!!).

The wisteria color is really pretty, but definitely not worth that much more money, even with the extras. I admit I paid about $20 more for the rose one, vs. other colors. But, I really wanted it and decided I deserve it. I'm glad you decided you deserve the new machine, Mel. |
