HOPEFUL NEWS FOR THOSE OF US THAT STILL NEED THE "POLIZIST FERDINAND"

When the "Polizist Ferdiand" promo dispenser released earlier in the year, I tried everything in my power to acquire one for my little girl. I came very close a few times but was never able to get one. It looks as though there may be more flooding the market soon! Originally, it was thought there was only 800 made. The article below states that PEZ made 50,000 of them! Great news for those of us still looking for it. We should see more of them showing up online over the next few months and hopefully it will help bring the price down to a reasonable cost. 

THE HUNT CONTINUES!!!

  
The original article is in German and you can read it HERE. I translated it into English the best I could so hopefully it will help those of us that don't speak German. 
 
"Candy-cane" villagers

Carinthia Ex-Governor and former traffic officer Gerhard Dörfler gave away for a road safety campaign PEZ candies by almost 70,000 euros.

The "policeman Ferdinand" should teach the Carinthian children proper behavior on the road playful. The major initiative with the friendly character caught on and much media support. For the former traffic officers and Governor Gerhard Dörfler (FPK) it was not done with the road safety campaign. As "candy-cane" he wanted to sweeten the action to the children. At the end, he had to buy big in fall 2011: 50,000 shares and 50,000 shares PEZ dispensers PEZ candies.

The stately costs were split. The bill for the candy dispenser in the amount of 46,200 was paid by the Department 7/Wirtschaftsrecht and infrastructure, the bill for the goodies in the amount of 22,800 from the Department 6/Bildung, generations and cultures. The bills were approved by the department heads and Albert Kreiner Gerhild Hubmann. In sum, the "Action PEZ" cost the country nearly 70,000 euros Carinthia.

 Toothbrushes and jackets

To the children not only goodies were given away, but 7500 "policeman Ferdinand" toothbrushes. This bill also paid about 18,900 euros, the 6th Division The brushes and goodies are given away completely in the nursery and not be parked as other villagers gifts charges in any stock. Kreiner for the purchases are "justified in the context of action for road safety measures perfectly."

Another acquisition "for road safety" Unacknowledged villagers in summer 2011. Since 1136 piece of safety jackets were bought. The bill also drew about 50,000 euros from department chief Kreiner, it was paid from the funds of the Road Safety Fund. The jackets were given away by villagers and stylized their support to "safety ambassadors". Kreiner looks justified this purchase: The country has the trademark on the reflective jackets.
