New Arrow Scissors Adds A Unique New Feature.
The new Arrow 2-in-1 Box-cutting Scissors features 8-inch non-stick coating blades, and something unique in scissors. A beveled tip at the end of the blades. This beveled edge allows for easy box opening and tape slicing with the scissors safely closed. I tried a pair on two different taped closed boxes and it worked very well. They are just reaching the market place now, just in time for the holidays. MSRP: $8.99
On 11/16/25 It was not yet at the Arrow Store on Amazon, but I saw it in a Target ad.

A New Lego Entry Designed For Adults
Lego’s big introduction at SweetSuite was a Mini-Figure Vending Machine. It reminded me of those gumball machines that were often installed, sitting a metal pipe, outside a store. Their press release said: “Hark back to simpler times with this fully functional vending machine model. Just insert a coin element in the slot and turn the handle to release a capsule to build a collectible LEGO® minifigure. Minifigures include various classic themes such as Castle, Paradisa, Fabuland® and 4 voted upon in a LEGO Ideas fans’ poll. Designed for 18+” Yes, 18+! It’s for their ever-expending Lego for adults kits.
