Question Cracker Box & Treat Dies

Has anyone tried using this new die set? https://www.stampinup.com/products/c...treat-box-dies
Is it worth $32 (catalog price) to purchase it? (It's shown on pages 170 and 45 in the new annual catalog.)
Is there a video to go with it? (And if so, where is it?)
When I searched for more information, I was redirected to demo videos from 6-9 years ago when people used their scoring boards and punch boards to make "crackers" for table favors;that system gives more flexibility in sizes than the die does.

You can make them with an envelope punch board - I did a video a few weeks ago. It isn't difficult to adjust the length and number of sides.

I just ordered it. It will be here tomorrow. While it is restricted to one size (lengthwise) I think it might be slightly more generously sized than some of their more recent treat containers. If nobody else comes back with the info you need I'll come back tomorrow after I get my goodies.

I just pulled out my old SU Sizzix Bigz L Candy Wrapper die and am wondering how it compares to the new thin die called Cracker and Treat Box. It took me a long time to figure out how to twist the ends so nicely. I find it's really difficult to make the twist look nice with DSP. The new die looks like it has a scalloped edge. Wondering if it's difficult to manipulate because I love the samples in the Annual Catalog using DSP.

I have an older Tonic Studios Christmas Cracker die set that makes beautiful ones. The only thing is there is SO many small pieces for add-ons that (for me) it was a chore to use. I tried Dina's tutorial and like it much better. Just my 0.02.:grin:
