Can we get these in the UK?

I've been told they're being demo'd at the NEC but my friend saw them and said they still aren't wide enough to take an A4 sheet of paper/card and that the Tag a Long is exactly the same as the Sidekick (in the words of the demonstrator). She was told that in the past Provocraft were producing them for Ellison but it sounds like now they're going to be going it alone and reading between the lines that they want more control over how and who sells it. RRP will be around £85 and they are very similar to the Zip e Mate they've also 'pinched' some ideas from Accucut and Wizard on their cut and emboss dies.

There are some cool UK themed dies though.

I saw them yesterday - the Big Shot will be retailed at approx £85 inc some dies and the machine.
It is wider than my sizzix but still noy wide enough to take A4 and I don't think that it looks like a significant difference.
I also didn't think that it looked as sturdy as the Zipemate or the sizzix.
It has the look of a Side Kick that just looks flimsy to me tho just my impression.
Due out in 5 weeks.

Loved all the new sizzix dies tho but thinking about buying a Robo so on a spending ban...
