DISPENSERS WE'RE LOOKING FOR....MAY 2013 EDITION

As many of you know, each month we post a few dispensers that we are currently looking to add to our collection in hopes that you guys may have an extra and would be interested in trading or selling. If any of you guys have any of the following dispensers, please email me at Clayrichardson004@gmail.com



MONSTERS UNIVERSITY SHIPPING UPDATE - U.S. RELEASE

A representative from the PEZ Facebook page confirmed today that the Monsters University set will start shipping to stores on May 11th. We should start seeing them hit the shelves in the U.S. by the middle of May. Europe saw the release of this set a few weeks back however the U.S. will also see a fourth dispenser, Squishy.

For some reason we are only allowed to show 3 of the 4 dispensers until they start shipping but I'm sure most of you guys have already seen what the fourth dispenser looks like.

It seems like it's been quite awhile since the U.S. has gotten a release, luckily we won't have to wait too much longer.

Happy Hunting!!!

20,000 PAGE VIEWS!!!!! THANKS FROM THE PEZ HUNTERS

We started this website just a little over 6 months ago and today we hit 20,000 page views! When my daughter and I started this site we were just doing it for something fun for us to do together out of our love of collecting PEZ dispensers. I would have never thought that so many of you guys would visit our site and keep coming back day after day. It's been great messaging back and forth with many of you and I have made many PEZ friends over the last 6 months.

The new releases have been a little slow here in the U.S. lately but things will pick up over the last half of 2013. Keep checking back with us, we have at least 5 more contest/giveaways before the end of the year! We will continue to keep you guys updated with all the new release information, convention info and all other PEZ news.

We really appreciate you guys and we are so happy to be apart of the PEZ collector family!

Thanks so much and as always, HAPPY HUNTING!!!


BLUE WALMART ADVERTISING HAULER

Some of you may have seen this already on the Pastor PEZ blog site. If you guys are like me and collect the advertising haulers, this one would be a prize to have! This blue cab/blue trailer Walmart Hauler is from another collector named Steve. Not sure if this is a promo or a test piece but it really is a nice dispenser. After seeing it, I started to wonder if there were more out there. Does anyone else have this truck? Are there other variations out there?

Thanks to Pastor PEZ for the original post

UPDATE ON NEW CINDERELLA AND NEW POOH RUMOR

The new Cinderella dispensers were schedule to ship to stores in the U.S. in June. A representative from the PEZ company stated today that they will instead exhaust their current inventory of the current Cinderella dispenser before the new one hits stores. This could be in June or within the few months after.

Also their has been some news floating around of a new Winnie the Pooh variation releasing soon also. The new dispenser is said to have a longer face and tongue. I just read this yesterday but haven't heard any other details about it. If anyone has more info on this, please post in the comments below or email me at Clayrichardson004@gmail.com

The new Cinderella dispenser has already hit stores in Europe and is popping up on eBay. The dispenser will release in the U.S. in June. A representative from the PEZ International Facebook page confirmed yesterday that Snow White and Belle will also get "make overs" and will release in Europe and the U.S. in early 2014.

Something to look forward to!

Happy Hunting!!!

SMURFS "CLICK-N-PLAY" - POSTPONED

More sad news!!! A representative from the PEZ International Facebook page confirmed that the Smurfs "Click-n-Play" set that was to be released this year in Europe has been cancelled for this year. The set is now expected to release sometime in 2014.

Disappointing news! This was one set I was really looking forward to picking up.

HERE'S THE BIG NEWS....WELL PART OF IT ANYWAY

So a few weeks ago I told you guys that I had some big news to announce but I wasn't able to say what it was yet. I am able to tell you part of it but there are still a few details that I am not allowed to reveal just yet.

As you know, there are quite a few promotional dispensers for restaurants, businesses, etc. For example, the Chick-Fil-A cow, Geico Gecko, Chuck E. Cheese and the Jack in the Box dispensers. Well, in June we will be able to add another promotional dispenser to that list.

Unfortunately, I am not able to tell you yet which business will release the promotional dispenser. I can tell you that it is a very LARGE company and the dispenser will be a domestic animal.

As soon as I am able to tell the rest, I will post it. Believe me, it's killing me to not be able to give you all the information! Luckily, we only have to wait 6 more weeks until it starts shipping to stores.

ATTENTION PEZ COLLECTORS ON FACEBOOK

If you're a PEZ collector and you're on Facebook, there are a few groups that you should join if you haven't already. There are quite a few and they are all very helpful in growing your collection and putting you in touch with other collectors. I look forward to seeing you all join!

The first is "PEZ for Trade"...in this group you can post what you're looking for and what you have to trade.
PEZ FOR TRADE

Next is "PEZ for Sale"...pretty self explanatory, right?
PEZ FOR SALE

"PEZ Auction" is a group where other collectors put up a dispenser or a set of dispensers and everyone bids on them.
PEZ AUCTION

and...my favorite is....

"PEZ it Forward"..this group is great! Collectors put up a dispenser or set of dispensers and others "grab them" with credits you earn. You earn credits by putting up dispensers for others to "grab". It may sound a little confusing but there is a FAQ on the group page to answer your questions and get you started. There is a U.S. group site and an World Wide group site. You can join both!

PEZ IT FORWARD U.S.
PEZ IT FORWARD WORLDWIDE

Happy Hunting!!!

A GREAT GUY AND A GREAT COLLECTION

When we first started collecting I spent hours and hours every day looking through every PEZ related site I could find. The best site I stumbled onto was PASTOR PEZ. After weeks of checking his website multiple times a day, I sent him an email and asked him a few questions. He responded quickly with more detailed answers than I could have asked for. We have since traded a few times and I still email him when I have questions I need an answer to. He has been a great resource and very helpful. He is a really great guy and he truly embodies all of the qualities of a great PEZ collector.

If you haven't checked out his site, do yourself a favor PASTOR PEZ

Today he posted a new addition to his site. You can view pictures of his entire collection. The pictures are divided into sets. This provides a great reference for all collectors, especially if you are new to the hobby.

His collection is incredible and definitely worth checking out. See for yourself!  Pastor PEZ Collection


NEW CINDERELLA DISPENSER ON EBAY

The new Cinderella dispenser has started popping up on eBay. This means they are starting to show up in stores in Europe. The U.S. will see this release in June. If you can't wait 8 weeks, pick it up on eBay now!

Happy Hunting!!!

MARIO BROS. SET NOW ON EBAY

I posted last week that the new Mario Bros. set had started shipping to stores in Europe and would be available soon. Yesterday they started popping up on eBay. For those of us that live in the U.S., you are now able to pick up a set for your collection. Just type in "mario pez" on the eBay search bar and you will see an entire list to choose from. The price is decent as well, only $15 for the set+shipping.

I can't wait to add these to our collection!

Happy Hunting!!!

PEZHEADS YAHOO GROUP

I am always looking to trade (probably a little too much). When we first started collecting PEZ, I joined the PEZHeads Group on Yahoo. If you're a new collector or if you've been collecting for awhile, being apart of the group is the best decision you can make. It's a great place to meet other collectors, stay up-to-date with PEZ info and get all the details on the latest conventions. There are always other members waiting to  answer any questions you may have. On a personal note, through this group I have met some of the nicest people on the planet. There are some really great people and they are all willing to help in any way possible.

If you aren't a part of the group yet, do yourself a favor and join!

DISNEY/PIXAR - SPECIAL SET FOR JOHN RATZENBERGER AND JOHN LASSITER

PEZ made a special set of dispensers for John Lassiter (animator, producer, director, etc. for Pixar) and John Ratzenberger (Cliff from "Cheers" and a voice in every Pixar movie). They made only 3 of these sets and they were given out as a special gift so these will never be available to the public.

The set is made up of all of the characters that John Ratzenberger has voiced in the Pixar movies.

Very cool!

APRIL LOOKS TO BE A GREAT MONTH IN EUROPE

Well, add another set to the list!

Lots of goodies to get our hands on! Can't wait to see these sitting on my shelf!

GREEN BAY PEZ GATHERING

If you are in the Green Bay area this weekend (April 5th and 6th) stop in and check out the Green Bay PEZ Gathering. I have not been fortunate enough to attend a convention yet but I have heard how much fun they are. Conventions are the best place to find the dispensers you need to fill in the holes in your collection and find those rare dispensers.

The conventions is being held at the Comfort Suites/Rock Garden in Green Bay.

NEW PEZ ALERT - HELLO KITTY CRYSTALS

Along with the Super Mario Bros. set, the new Hello Kitty Crystals are also shipping to stores this month in Europe. They should be hitting stores in the next few weeks!

Seems like Europe is getting all the great releases this year


NEW PEZ ALERT - SUPER MARIO BROS.

According to the official PEZ Facebook page, the new Super Mario Bros. set has started shipping to stores in Europe. They should start showing up soon. If any of my European readers are interested in picking these up for me, please message me. We can trade or straight payment.

As someone who has yet to add the past "Nintendo" set to our collection, I am very excited for these!
