Here is a pic of an empty 12-Well Cream Insert in a palette:

I had googled about the large duo palettes and stumbled upon this thread. I just got these guys at the Nashville PRO store, and I personally love them- other than my 4 limit. I had to pick & choose when it came to shadow/blush inserts. I will probably hold off on getting additional if the duo ones will roll out in a few weeks. I also opted for the pre-filled 6 shade lip palettes. I have no qualms about depotting lipsticks, but these have good color variance and will be fantastic with freelance as well as save me from pulling product from the tube.
So far my pro/con list on the new palettes:
pro:
-see through
-sturdy
-lid closure is secure, opening not tricky
-inserts are easy enough to put in, and remove (see con note on that)
-insert variety
con:
- I didn't catch anything mentioned through what I've read, and I think it's worth saying- unless I'm doing something incorrectly, which is always possible. The new palettes are not magnetized, not even a strip in the lower compartment as the old palettes had. They just settle in the insert. Someone may have this palette and have a better tip or general directions. For me to remove the insert, I either have pop it out with something sturdy & thin (spatula), or place my hand over the shadows and flip it for one to fall out. Then wedge under the lower holes to pop it up. Not that it's hard to do but it seems easy for product to be damaged that way.
-powders will kick up on the in between, clear part will show finger prints, fuzzballs/ critter hair is attracted to the clear lid.
I think it's nice, and I say now I'd like a few duos but I need to see how they function. I'll probably have some just to be able to house all my MAC items uniformly (OCD). I've relied steadily on my Z Palettes but I just don't care for them being cardboard overall.
Here are some photos of my currently arranged palettes, due to the limitation I still have plenty of other shadows and blushes to switch. I also did comparatives to other palettes (size/width) if it helps anyone. Sorry for the horrifically seasonal back ground, I'm amidst arranging my vanity and wrapping stuff.

Me neither31 Euro? And that's without the inserts...hboy: I seriously can't get over the prices for the new palettes.
I'm glad I got extra's of the old ones.

I've always been very much anti-palette but I got 3 Inglot palettes (10*square e/s) last week and I love them more than I thought I would. I hope this new found love of palettes won't spill over to MAC or I'm doomed!

Twist the palette a bit, kinda like it's an old skool ice tray. The insert will pop right out.

My palettes are magnetized. Both the palette itself and the insert. Maybe they changed it now???

Mine too. I believe they were always magnetized.

I miss the old palettes. I was going to grab a couple for my blushes (I prefer them with the inserts in). However, I'm thinking when the double sided one comes out, it would be perfect for my blushes. So, is there any news if/when it will ever be released?

Nope it was a herpderp moment on my behalf. My depotted shadows don't have strong/thick enough magnets. The ones I bought in pan are a-ok. This is what happens when I get over eager about new things. So between that and the ice trey trick to pop the insert my negatives are reduced down to only the fact the top and insert attract powder and fuzz.

I love these palettes and have 2 eyeshadow ones and 2 blush ones and then another empty one that I am going to use to press my Mac pigments into. I just need to get some more magnets. I am thinking of making a lipstick palette too with my non mac lipsticks.
