Dinosaur Tracks!

Minor news...

It seems that Provo Craft has brought back Dinosaur Tracks. It's in one of the half-size packages for the universal overlay now, instead of the full-sized original, but it's definitely back! I feel like a failure as a cheapskate -- I paid more for the original, used, than for any two other Cricut cartridges, and that was the cheapest one I found in a couple of months of trying. Now it's on the Cricut site for thirty bucks, brand new. It has some really cool stuff -- have a look at its handbook -- and you can find it here: Dinosaur Tracks. This is definitely one of my favorite cartridges, and it's wonderful that Provo Craft is selling it again. Maybe this means that some of the other hard-to-find classics will return some day, too. Okay, I'll stop squeeing now and return to my regular cynicism. :)

Update: They've brought 50 States back, too! $19.95 from the Cricut website.

Further Update: They now have five re-released cartridges, which can be found here. Songbird, 50 States, Dinosaur Tracks, Christmas Cards, and Very Merry Tags. As I write this they're on sale for $19.99 per, which is good for us cheapskates, bad for the people who are selling used, and often linked, ones for $50+ on eBay.

Note: There are a few unethical gougers trying to sell the newly re-released cartridges for outrageous prices. One of the eBay sellers (who's asking almost 3x the list price for it) says that extra handling time will be required. Color me suspicious, but I strongly suspect that "extra time" will be the time required for the shipment to get from Provo Craft to said seller. Which, given that such an order has to go through the Moreno Valley Postal Black Hole, er, Sorting Center, may be a very long time.
