This Darth Vader Pen Holder Is Strong With The Force
Review: "It works perfectly for holding my letter opener and keeping close at hand. I love seeing Darth Vader on his knee hold it up for me. It seems very sturdy and I'm very happy with it." - Holly Allen
Seriously? This would cost less than one US Dollar in material, on a very basic 3D printer. The 3D model is available for free (I guess nobody worries about the license rights). Print quality on the BP photo is average low (they could have printed it in 0.1mm layers instead of 0.2mm, even entry range 3D printers can do that). On the amazon reviews it looks like the quality is really inconsistent from an order to another, going from average low to very poor (this horrible stringing on one model!). Would not recommend this scam. If you are interested in this pen holder find someone with a 3D printer. Here I guess that most of the cost goes to shipping from China. This is not how we are supposed to use 3D printing technology!

I did use a bit of glue to keep the little hitch in place but it's adorable on my counter and matches my aqua kitchen accessories. I'm thinking about getting another to hold our packets of water supplements." - Shawna Nero Newton
It's cute but is it made from cardboard? Am I seeing it weird? It looks like cardboard to me and I feel like that would fall apart easily and not be able to hold much. Maybe it's wood and I'm just not seeing it right?

This Might Be The Crappiest Tape Dispenser You Have Ever Seen
Review: "I purchased this as part of a secret Santa gift. My coworkers all LOVED it (I work in construction with all men), the favorite part was the paper clips inside the toilet. They stick to the butt of the man when you pick him up! Lol" - Kacy Carman
This looks like it would be hard to use. The cutter is in a weird spot and your hand would hit the surface the dispenser is on when cutting the tape to use it. Tape dispensers are ideally meant to be used with one hand (for example when wrapping presents, one hand is holding the two sections of wrapping paper together and the other hand is grabbing the piece of tape). This seems like it requires both hands to use. Unless I'm missing something

This one now sits prominently in the middle of his desk and it's a great punchline that it's actually functional." - Just Joe
