DUPLICATES AND TRADING

My daughter and I started collecting PEZ dispensers about 10 months ago. In that time, trading with other collectors has become one my favorite things to do. It helps build your collection, complete sets and best of all, puts you in contact with other PEZ collectors, who I have found are the most friendly people on the planet.

On a negative note, I have also found that when you are a beginner, you may not have too many duplicates to trade that others need. This makes it a little difficult to find others that may be willing to make a trade with you.

I would like to make this site "TRADER FRIENDLY" to everyone from beginners to veterans. Below I am listing all of the duplicates that I currently have. I would invite everyone else to comment below with your list of duplicates. My hopes are that this will help put all of us in touch with each other and allow us to trade with each other.

Please take a minute and comment below with your duplicate list. You can also list any dispensers you may be looking for. Don't forget to include your email address so that everyone can contact each other to complete trades!


This is my current list of duplicate dispensers:

Princess Merida
Nemo B (the new one)
Garfield w/ visor
Yosemite Sam (blue stem)
Bugs Bunny (yellow stem)
Bruce the Shark x2
Lemon Meringue
Obi Wan
Extreme Mickey Mouse
Hello Kitty w/ red bow x2
My Melody
Aloha Kitty
Hello Kitty w/ Rabbit
Hello Kitty (full body)
Hello Kitty w/ heart (full body)
Crystal Aloha Kitty
Crystal Hello Kitty w/ red bow
NASCAR Helmet - Tony Stewart x2
NASCAR Helmet - Jeff Gordon
NASCAR Helmet - Rusty Wallace
NASCAR Helmet - Kasey Kahne
NASCAR Helmet - Matt Kenseth
Santa (from last year)
Crystal Red Valentine Heart / Red Stem ("Be Mine")
Chick in Egg (red hat/red shell)
Jack-o-Lantern x2
Dracula
Polly Pumpkin C
Pumpkin B
Skull B
Black Cat

Alright, so that's what I have. Please post your duplicate list below. The more people participating the better!

THRIFT STORES ARE GOLD MINES

If you haven't checked out the thrift stores, consignment stores, yard sales and flea markets in your area, get out there and start hunting! I usually check these stores once a month and more times than not, I come home with something great. I stopped in a consignment store this afternoon and I was very happy to find 4 PEZ Pets Cuddle Cubs. They are a very nice addition to our collection and the best part is, I picked up all 4 of them for only a $1.

Happy Hunting!!!!

NEW PEZ - "RED NOSE DAY"

Red Nose Day is a charity that uses humor to bring healing in the UK and Africa. The Red Nose comes from the red noses that clowns wear. On March 15th, 2013 people are encouraged to wear their red clown noses in support of this charity. This year, they have some PEZ that have been made for them to auction off. The following was posted on their website:

"We’re very excited (maybe a little overexcited,in fact) to announce that, for Red Nose Day 2013, we’re getting our own range of PEZ dispensers!

Red Nose Day 2013 will be PEZ’s first time on board and their three new dispensers, based on our brand new Dinosaurs, will each carry a donation to Comic Relief. Sweet.

We’ve also got some one-off top secret PEZ dispensers (and when we say top secret, we mean top secret because we can’t tell you who the famous tops are) that will be available to bid for - more details to be revealed soon. Now we are over over overexcited!"

Their website can be accessed at: http://www.rednoseday.com/

Here's a picture of the three dispensers




*Special thanks to PASTOR PEZ for the information

STILL HAVEN'T FOUND THE NEW DISPENSERS YET?

I've seen a lot of post from people asking where to find the new dispensers. Hopefully this will help you along in your hunting! Of course if you can't find them in stores, you can always check eBay!

The new Dory dispenser just started popping up in stores this week. I have heard that they are showing up at Walmart stores, World Market and even at Rite Aid pharmacy stores. I haven't seen them at Toys R' Us yet, but it's only a matter of time.

The new Merida dispenser has shown up in Walmart, World Market and Target stores. It seems like more people are finding it at Target (in the Valentine's section) more than they are at Walmart. The new Princess Merida dispenser has started shipping with the other Disney Princesses, so if a store in your area carries the princesses, chances are they will have it soon!


The Floppy-Eared Bunny dispenser hasn't hit too many stores yet. I do know for a fact that JoAnn Fabric and Crafts has them in stock.



If you are looking for Valentine's dispensers there are a few stores that have them in stock. You can find them at CVS pharmacy stores, Rite Aid pharmacy stores, Walgreens, World Market, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabric and Crafts and AC Moore. I have visited these stores and AC Moore has the largest selection to choose from by far. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the Valentine's plush bears yet. I know that World Market and Bed, Bath and Beyond carries them but they haven't put them out as of yet.


The "Friends Forever" gift sets featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Daisy and Donald Duck are in a few different stores. Toys R' Us has them for $5.99 each and CVS Pharmacy and Bilo grocery stores are selling them for $4.99 each.




Finally, the new version of the Nemo dispenser is in stock at Walmart stores (even if Dory isn't in your store yet). It is also showing up at Rite Aid pharmacy stores.




GOOD LUCK FINDING ALL OF THE NEW RELEASES! HAPPY HUNTING!!!!!!

MOSHI MONSTERS FINALLY ARRIVED!

We have been waiting for weeks and today our Moshi Monsters PEZ dispensers finally arrived. My daughter plays Moshi Monsters every day on her Nintendo DS so when we saw these had been released, we had to get them. I really like the packaging on these too. Almost so much that I didn't want to open them!

If you are looking to pick these up for your own collection there is a seller in the UK on eBay that has all 3 + shipping for about $16.00 or you can pick them up individually for around $6.00 each.

Happy Hunting!!!

FLOPPY-EARED BUNNY

Have you added the new Floppy-Eared Bunny dispenser to your collection yet?

Most stores are starting to stock up on the Valentine's dispensers for this year but there is one store that has already started putting out the Easter dispensers as well. Check with JoAnn Fabric and Crafts. I was in there earlier today and they have one aisle with all of their Valentine's stuff and another right beside it with their Easter stuff. You can go ahead and add this one to your collection!

Happy Hunting!!!


CHICK-FIL-A COW DISPENSER

After my good fortune last weekend at "Chuck E. Cheese" I thought perhaps I would call around to my local "Chick-Fil-A" restaurants and see if any stores still had a cow dispenser laying around. I was pleasantly surprised. The first store I called informed me that they had been selling them at their stores this past Christmas (just 3-4 weeks ago) but they had already sold out. I called another store in my area and lucked up. The manager of the store told me they still had a few and said she would hold one for me. When I got there to pick it up, the lady was really friendly, asked me about my daughter and gave me the dispenser free of charge. I have since called a few other stores and they all still have them in stock as well. If you haven't picked up the "Chick-Fil-A" cow dispenser, check with your local store. Chances are you will be able to easily pick one up for your collection.

Happy Hunting!

PEZ FRIENDS - HELLO KITTY

These were released in Europe sometime in 2011. I never even knew they existed and I stumbled upon the webpage for them on the www.pez.at site. They are mini dispensers with a plush "Hello Kitty" head.

 Does anyone have these?

I'd love to get these for my daughter if anyone has them or knows how to get them.

CHUCK E. CHEESE DISPENSER - ARE YOU STILL LOOKING FOR IT?

Today was a nice surprise. My wife and I took our little girl, Lake (my little PEZHunter), to Chuck E. Cheese today for lunch. While we were there I just happened to notice a large basket behind the counter filled with lots and lots of PEZ dispensers. They had the Chuck E. Cheese promo dispensers for sale. They were priced $3.99 but rang up $2.00. These were originally released in 2010. They had plenty of them.

If you haven't added this one to your collection, check with your local Chuck E. Cheese restaurant and pick it up! If you don't have a Chuck E. Cheese in your area, email me and I'll pick one up for you and we can make a trade. Clayrichardson004@gmail.com
