2014 NEW RELEASES - THE RUNDOWN

The past week has been great for new PEZ releases in the U.S. Stores across the country have started stocking their shelves with Valentine's Day PEZ dispensers. The new Monkey holding a Heart has started showing up in stores. If you're looking for this one, try Michaels or JoAnn Fabric.

Also, hitting the stores are the 2014 "Friends Forever" gift sets. This year we get Nemo/Dory and Mickey/Minnie. The Mickey one varies from last year in that the stem is different. The Mickey included in the gift set is the Euro Mickey that was released earlier this past year. If you're looking for this one try CVS, Toys R' Us and Bilo Supermarkets.

Finally, Keroppi and Badtz Maru from the Hello Kitty series are showing up in Walmart stores.

I've started checking my local stores over the past 2 days but haven't had any luck finding any of these yet. Most of the workers I spoke with said they would have their V-Day stuff out over the next 2 weeks. If you're local store hasn't started stocking these yet, they should be widely available over the next 2 weeks.

Happy Hunting!!!
