BRING YOUR PEZ TO WORK DAY!!!

How many of you guys brought your favorite PEZ dispenser to work today? Which one did you take and why?

I decided on "Darth Vader"

NEW PEZ - GENEROSITY

I started checking out all of the different PEZ sites about 2 months ago. I checked out peoples fan sites, all of the different sites to purchases PEZ, the forums, the Facebook pages, etc. One thing I always noticed when looking at these pages is that everyone would always talk about how PEZ collectors were the nicest, most generous people. Today I found out exactly how true this is. I had been doing some trading with a few people I met on the yahoo group site, PEZHEADS. I came across a woman who was looking to trade a "Geico Gecko" dispenser to anyone with an item she didn't already have. Unfortunately, all of the items that I had to trade were items that she already owned. She then told me that even though I didn't have anything to trade her for the dispenser that she would send it to me anyway. She said that she wanted to help out since we were new to collecting and it was the holiday season. I was very grateful and thankful for her generosity. Fast forward 2 weeks later to today. I get home from work to find a really big box on my front porch. When we opened it, we were ecstatic. Not only did she send the "Geico Gecko" dispenser, she also sent 8 other dispensers, 2 Geico Gecko plush toys, 4 collectors cups from the PEZ Collectors Convention, a bag from the PEZ Collectors Convention and unbelievably, both of the new Presidents gift sets. The smile on my little girls face was priceless. Her generosity and kindness really showed me that collecting PEZ is the best hobby ever and it made my experience so much greater. We certainly will "pay it forward" and I hope we can make someone else feel the way this lady made me and my daughter feel. PEZ collectors really are the kindest people around!!!

Thank you Brenda Reiner

A VERY PEZZY CHRISTMAS

Check out the pics below for some really cool PEZ themed Christmas ideas. What are your PEZ Christmas ideas?

TRADES???

I have a few duplicates, not many. Most of them are dispensers released in the last 2 years. I assume that many of you already own these but if there is one you need and I have it, please let me know if you are interested in trading. As I acquire more and more duplicates, I will post them for trade for those who are interested.

Duplicates are pictured below:

NE PEZ COLLECTORS GATHERING - STAMFORD, CT

The annual "Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering" in Stamford, CT is just around the corner. The dates are May 2nd, 3rd and 4th. You can find all of the registration info HERE. You can also reserve a seat on a charter bus to the convention but seats are limited.

Don't worry! If you can't make it to "NE PEZ Collectors Gathering", there are a few others throughout the year. I'll keep you guys posted as the information becomes available.

NEW PEZ UPDATE - ANGRY BIRDS

I've been debating for a few days on if I should post this or not. About 2 weeks ago, I called my local "AC Moore" store to check and see if they had the new Presidents Vol. 2 and 3 sets available. The manager asked me to hold while he looked it up in there computer system. He told me that he didn't see them entered in yet but he did see sku numbers for the "Princess Merida" dispenser and the "Angry Birds" dispensers. I had heard awhile back about there possibly being a set of "Angry Birds" dispensers released in 2013. After speaking with him, I was very excited. Well fast forward to yesterday, I was looking over the "PEZ International" Facebook page and someone had posted a comment asking about the "Angry Birds" dispensers and a representative from PEZ responded by saying "Look for them in 2013 but that's all the information I can give out". This sounds promising!!!

Below is a picture I found online. I believe these are fantasy dispensers that someone made but I imagine when they are released, they will look very similar to this. I can't wait!!!!

HOLIDAY VACATION

We just returned home from visiting family in Kentucky for Thanksgiving. While we were there I was hoping that we would come across some new PEZ dispensers that we didn't have yet. I had this crazy delusion in my head that since I was going to another state with stores that we don't have here in South Carolina, I would walk in and there would be shelves and shelves of dispensers that I've not been able to find here. Ha ha, yeah right. Most places had the usual, Disney Princess, Cars, Star Wars, etc. We were able to pick up 2 dispensers that we had not yet added to our collection so I am happy with that! THE HUNT CONTINUES!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday and spending time with friends and family!

 

UPDATE - JOLLY MAH - 8 DISPENSERS

I had recently posted about the new "Jolly Mah" PEZ dispensers from NICI. Orignally, it was thought there were a total of 6 but it looks like there are actually 8 dispensers in the set. There are a total of 3 different characters with 8 different stems. In addition, to the other stems I posted about there are 2 others that say, "Friends Forever" and "Have a Break". I would love to get my hands on these but unfortunately they are only available in Germany. Perhaps one day I will luck up on them!

UPDATE - PRESIDENTS VOL. 2 & 3

I spoke with someone at the PEZ company and they told me that the new Presidents Vol. 2 and 3 gift sets had only been shipped to smaller stores like Shopko and Fuzziwigs. He said they would be in the larger stores prior to or on Presidents Day (February 18th). Unfortunately for most of us, that means it's going to be a little while longer before we are able to get our hands on them. If you can't wait for your local store to have them in stock, you can order them online HERE

NOV. 30 - BRING YOUR PEZ TO WORK DAY

Don't forget to bring your favorite PEZ dispenser to work on Nov. 30th!!!

eBay = PEZ collectors best friend

I've been browsing eBay over the past few weeks and there are some really good bargains there for PEZ dispensers. If you are just starting out and you are looking to build your collection or if you just need that last dispenser to complete a set, you should be able to find it on eBay for a good price. I picked up quite a few different dispensers and even a gift set and I never paid over $3.00 for any item, including shipping cost.

I even picked up the "Mickey Mouse 80th Anniversary Gift Set" for .75 cents + $2.25 shipping. 

OLDER YEARS - CHRISTMAS DISPENSERS

I was in "Michael's Arts and Crafts" today and I saw they had an entire end cap dedicated to Christmas PEZ dispensers. They had the new 2012 dispensers (no crystals though) and they had plenty of the older Christmas dispensers mixed in as well, including last years Santa, the reindeer with the black nose, the old snowman w/ the brown hat and the Christmas hauler truck. Luckily, I already had these items but if you haven't added them to your collection yet, there is still a place out there you can pick them up.

NEW PEZ UPDATE - JANUARY 2013

I have read (and confirmed) quite a few rumors about upcoming PEZ dispenser releases for 2013. There are 2 new dispensers shipping 01/01/13. Be on the lookout for "Princess Merida" from the Disney movie "Brave" and keep an eye out for "Finding Nemo" dispensers to show back up in stores. Along with Nemo and Bruce the shark, they will be releasing a new dispenser with the set, "Dori" (the little blue fish from the movie).

I have only been able to find one picture of the "Princess Merida" dispenser. It's not the best picture but it should be enough to get you excited!

Here is a quick snapshot of the new "Dori" PEZ dispenser

NEW PEZ DISPENSERS - "JOLLY MAH"

A few new dispensers have been released in Europe. There are 6 total and they are from the "Jolly Mah" series. I have absolutely no idea what these guys are about but the dispensers look really cool. I've seen them on eBay and I'm assuming that's the best place to pick them up. I'd love to get my hands on these.
There are 3 different characters, each character has 2 different stems, totaling 6 dispensers. The stems are printed on. They say "Thank You!", "Don't Worry!", "Keep Smiling!" on one set and "So What!", "Happy Birthday!" and "Take It Easy!" on the other set. These guys are really cool looking! Check out the pictures below........

THIS WEEKEND WAS A GREAT ONE

About 2 weeks ago I entered and won a PEZ give-a-way contest on the "Official PEZ International Facebook" page. The prize was all 3 of the newly released "Paul Frank's Julius PEZ dispensers. These were only released in Europe so this was very, very cool for us to be able to pick up! My daughter was so happy when these arrived this weekend. These dispensers are really cool and have a very unique look and feel to them! The coolest thing about them is that all of the candy pieces are white.

PRESIDENTS VOL. 2 AND VOL. 3

The new "Presidents" sets Vol. 2 and 3 have started shipping to stores. Unfortunately, I haven't spotted them at any of my local PEZ hot spots yet but the HUNT CONTINUES!!! If you don't feel like waiting until you find them in stores, you can order both from the official PEZ website HERE.

CHRISTMAS CRYSTALS

The brand new Christmas Crystal dispensers are showing up at Walmart stores across the country. These were originally thought to be an exclusive "Target" release. You'll find these mixed in with the other new Christmas dispensers, however, each store may only have one or two of each so you may need to visit a few different Walmart stores to pick up all 4 dispensers. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!!!

I really like the new Santa Crystal. It looks so cool!!!

NEW CHRISTMAS DISPENSERS

The 3 new Christmas dispensers should be easy to find by now. The new Santa, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the new Snowman dispensers are out now. I've personally seen these in store at AC Moore, World Market, Party City, Bed Bath and Beyond and Walmart. The easiest place to find these is at Walmart in the "seasonal" section. "Bed, Bath and Beyond" and "World Market" is also carrying the 4 winter plush.

NEW GIFT SETS

The 3 new gift sets, KISS, Star Trek and Barbie, are showing up at all of the Walmart stores across the country. You should spot them easily at the checkout counter or in your stores "PEZ" section.

"HOT WHEELS" PULL-N-GO

The new "Hot Wheels" Pull-N-Go dispensers finally started showing up at Walmart stores. I have seen them at "World Market" and "AC Moore" as well. They are really cool dispensers and the rumor is we may see a third one, supposedly a red car dispenser, next year some time.

"TOYS 'R US" HAULER

The new "Toys 'R Us" Haulers are showing up on eBay and at "Toys 'R Us" stores across the country. Our local store only had 4 in stock so you may want to pick yours up quickly before they're all gone!

QUICK SNAPSHOTS OF OUR COLLECTION

We are currently at 304 dispensers and increasing each week!!!

INTRODUCTION

Hey guys!!! I'll start out by introducing myself. My name is Clay and I have a 3yr. old daughter named Lake. We started collecting PEZ dispensers almost a year ago. It is something that we both really love and it has become our special thing to do together. I love seeing her face light up every time she gets a new one and she can tell you pretty much everything there is to know about them. We started this site to post news on upcoming releases, conventions and EVERYTHING PEZ!!! Hope you guys enjoy our site!
