Has anyone tried Manley Art-tastic Magic Beads as a refill for PixOs? My daughter got the Spin Master PixOs Super Studio for her birthday, only two days ago and we are already out of beads, she is older (12) and loves the thing. We have not had the level of frustration that everyone is talking about the beads sticking together but have had to do some repairs. She is a pro now and can bend and play with them without breakage. Anyway back to my question, the Manley Art-tastic Magic Beads refill is so much cheaper than the PixOs refill.....4000 beads for 5.99. Does anyone know if these beads will work with the PixOs Super Studio? Has anyone tried Manley Art-tastic Magic Beads as a refill for PixOs?

Have not tried the PixOs, but the Manley Art-tastic Magic Beads do work great. You get a large quantity of beads for a lot less and they really do stick together great. My kids can't pull them apart once they are completely dry.

Jeremie, I got mine about a month ago and for the most part it works well. I have found that if you do not put the cards in the top kind of neat and squared off you may have an issue of them getting shuffled against each other forming a steeple of cards in the tray. When that happens, you just stop and fix it. We have not had any bent or ruined cards to date. My grand-kids are the hardest on it and so far they only steeple the cards. I like the machine a lot - much better than the smaller version. Be sure you do not leave the whole stack of cards on the shuffle tray cause it may weaken the spring. I put the cards under the tray on the hard plastic. Hope that helps you out. Jeremie, I got mine about a month ago and for the most part it works well.

I honestly dont think they would put it back out on the market if there were a problem. My daughter was so disappointed last year when she didnt recieve Aquadots...it was at the top of her list. I did go ahead and get the Pixo's this year...hopefully it will be okay!

Since ScoopFree has been hard to come by I've just started testing different brands... Ultra Pet Litter Pearls (perfect little pearl shapes) works so far ($22.97 per 7 lbs) but it's only been 3 days - I hoping it will last 10 days like the ScoopFree Just Crystals did for my two cats. The key is crystal size... not to small and not too large. I did try Dr. Elseys Senior Crystals (very small sandlike) didn't wok as nicely as ScoopFree but it works for another application for my older cat just fine. I just bought Fresh Step at Target ($14.49/8 lbs) and it should work as it's small enough crystals but I'll have to get back to you on that.

I, personally, find the Prismacolor pencils of very good quality. I believe that those who find them cheap do not realize that hese pencils are artist's pencils. The leads are made of materials as pure as possible, and therefore, do not include materials to strengthen the lead, including strengthening matrial would sully the color. These pencils therefore are not made to be jostled, or dropped. I have been using my Prismacolor pencils for more than a year and I handle them with care. They are not "coloring pencils" they are artistic tools. If you treat them as ordinary pencils you will find the lead is often broken even before sharpening them.

I don't that this makes any difference at all other than in your mind. Frankly we got it, our son played with it a few times, at this point it is somewhere in his playpen and while he may grab it sometimes, that is the extent of it. Additionally, this bracelet as most of them that are being sold look much larger on the picture than they are actually. So, in my humble opinion this is a waste of money and possibly an urban legend regarding the healing power etc. More than anything it is powered by your own belief. I am sure you can find better things to buy for your child. An extra shirt, toy, etc would be much more useful then this. Best of luck and enjoy every moment. They are precious!!!

Brock I have not received mine yet, nor has amazon indicated that they have it back in stock. I'm starting to think they're low on the list as far as vendor priority for Wacom, as other places have started to get them in stock, but are charging $200-$500 over list price. If anyone else has received this product from Amazon this year could you chime in on how long your wait was.

I bought it for my daughter's 2nd grade teacher because every other model she tried quickly died, unable to handle the fatties or the coated pencils. She knows to return it to me if there are any signs of failure so I can return it and she has not said anything so far. I'll ask for an update specifically tomorrow afternoon and report back. (if I remember, maybe ask me again if I forget :-)

This embosser is the current model but NOT the NEW ONE. That one is called New Blue Cricut Cuttlebug. It was just released there IS a new Cuttlebug and according to this new link they can be pre-ordered at Amazon and available Nov 1 2013, but I cannot find that option on Amazon's site???? http://www.4-traders.com/news/Cricut-Introduces-New-Blue-Cricut-Cuttlebug-Embosser-and-Die-Cutter--17332113/ The current model hasn't been out very long (a few years maybe) and was not as nice as the original model they replaced it with. Maybe this new one will be better! Longer plates and loading shelf would be nice!! That's all I know! Mine broke in earlier this year and I went out and got a Tim Holz Vagabond which is WONDERFUL and much more versatile and only about $139 last I saw here at Amazon with free shipping. My choice hands down to Cuttlebug, and if I wanted a manual machine again I would buy the Sizzix Big Shot which interchanges with all the Vagabond plates etc!

I have not been able to find refills, but for the 7.79 the entire thing cost, I just keep ordering the entire thing again. If anyone finds refills, please put a link here? Thanks.

I downloaded it on my computer but never could get it to pull up so I email SCAL and they told me that it was not compatible to the cricut mini. I bought it because the information I read said it was compatible to all cricut, they fell to say all cricut except the mini, so I have a SCAL downloaded that I can't use on my mini.

I've only ever mixed it with resin which turn out quite well, i do have a paint product as well which i discovered is simply the powder in a translucent once dry paint but the powder was gritty not dissolved in the paint which is how I found out, so I'm not sure if it would actually disolve, though you have my interest, I make fairies that glow and a snow globe type of trinket would be very interesting, I believe I will do some mixing this afternoon and relate my findings

The double ceramic had a weak spring - my hair would fall out and it was impossible to curl my hair. The nano tourmaline is great - just the tip is bad. If you have a craft store around, go buy clay or some other ceramic type material you can mold and that will dry into a hard form. I used sculptey to make a tip for myself and it fits really well onto the end (because of those fins in the iron tip) and doesn't fall off at all when I'm using it. Doesn't heat up either. Had this not worked, i'd have bought the double ceramic, used my craft knife to cut some of the plastic pins off the inside, and swapped tips with the nano.

Yes, there is a person that sells generic refills for the curling iron on Ebay. Has more than 10 available now & has sold over 198. Current price 19.99 per pkg. of 2/Shipped free expedited. I purchase 4 pkgs. for needed future since the originals are no longer available in stores & hard to find. Each cell lasts 6 mo. to a year for me. Very happy with and Very happy with the Seller. With the generic refill cell,the only thing I noticed for me, is that the cartridge makes it a little tight putting the end cap back on, but definitely fits. Once you turn off the curling iron with the generic refills, listen to hear if the hissing of the cartridge has stopped. I always do. But if a faint hissing sound is there, just take the cartridge back out so you don't lose the butane at a constant slow leak & put back in pkg. until next time. Works for me. Good Luck! Go To ebay.com & type in search: Braun Energy Cell Ebay seller I purchased from has name: blueskychara and has store name: Chara Beauty

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.
