Duplicate PEZ For Sale

Over the past month or so I've picked up a few unique duplicates. I have these for sale or perhaps a trade if you have something I need for the collection. Leave me a comment or email me for more information.

Introducing the PEZ Post

I'm happy to announce another PEZ collector has started a blog about their collection and the hobby. We're really developing quite the subset of collectors who blog about PEZ.

The new blog is called The PEZ Post, which I think is a great name. They are in the early stages, but already have some informative posts. Go check them out at http://thepezpost.blogspot.ca/.

Don't Get Jealous: Bubbleman Edition

Remember, I'm a Pastor, and the Bible says "Do not covet." In other words, don't longingly desire what not yours! Now, having said that, did you catch the picture that Richie posted to one of his blogs that features all his rare Bubblemen PEZ Dispensers? See his post here. See many of the "one off" Bubblemen in the picture below.

A Solution for Displaying Trucks?

I saw an auction this weekend for a new display intended to hold PEZ trucks and haulers. The piece holds 30 trucks and they are sort of at an angle so you can actualy enjoy the variation of the full truck or advertising hauler. However, the cost was around $60 shipped, which means you're not spending an additional $2 per truck (which are only $2 or less to begin with) just to display them. It's a neat idea, and I hope they sell many of these, but I don't think this is the solution I'm looking for. The search continues!

Awesome PEZ Mint Tins

I don't collect many non dispenser items, but I got to admit, I may end up picking these guys up. These PEZ Mint tins are sold in Europe and they have a great look to them. Plus  you get some of the yummy mint PEZ candy! What is your take on these items?

Swarovski Crystal Mickey Anniversary Set

 Did you catch the rare PEZ Mickey Mouse Red Stem Swarovski Crystal Deluxe Edition Set on eBay? There were only 50 of this particular one produced. These were also made with silver and gold stems but those sets were not as rare. The BIN price was in the $1,000 range, but I'm not sure if it sold or not. A pretty set, but not many buyers at that price I'm sure. I've bought from and sold to the seller before. Nice guy who takes good care of his pieces.

Green Euro Tanker PEZ Dispenser

So, here recently the super hard to find euro tanker with the lime green hauler has popped up on eBay a couple of times. Most recently a MOC version sold for over $45. I hope PEZ International is starting to ship these more and that this won't be a limited run. I'll keep my eyes on each of these auctions to see what they end up selling for.

Tropez Catalog Update

For those that use Tropez to catalog their PEZ, a new update was released several days ago. You might not have seen it because Stan hasn't updated the main page, which is what I normally check to see if there is an update. But you can find the new catalog here with many new and upcoming releases.

New Hello Kitty PEZ (Not in Tin!)

I saw the new Hello Kitty Cyrstal PEZ Dispensers on eBay tonight and did a BIN. I posted about these earlier on the blog. You can read about it here. I was thinking they were going to be in a tin again this year, but they are being sold MOC from what I've seen online. Below are pictures from the eBay auction I bought them from. By my count, there are now 35 unique, widely released Hello Kitty PEZ Dispensers. See the other 31 in my collection here.

Road Construction Out My Window

I have a bay window in my office that overlooks a fairly busy street. This week they started a 2 month project to rip up the pavement, pull out all the big rocks, install new utilities, and then repave the road. A lot of excitment going on out there. It maybe me think of Scoop from Bob the Builder and the Construction Workers from the Emergency Heroes PEZ sets.

Use of PEZ Pics from Collection

I'm always honored when people find my blog postings useful. I share what I know because this is a fun hobby and a relatively easy one to get involved in. Often times while I'm searching PEZ on eBay or on the web in general, I'll come across some of the pictures from my collection I have made for my blog. That's quite alright. It's always funny to see them on eBay though. I think you should always post a picture of the exact item your selling, though and not some stock photo or a nicely done photo by someone else. Well, yesterday I ran across the first use of a picture from my new collection photos. It was of Elmo. But the weird thing is that they are actually selling a giant Elmo, not a regular Elmo PEZ. So if you see the picture, it's not me selling it. The auction can be seen here. As a side note, you're free to use my pictures any time. If you repost them online, let me know so I can check out what you've written. Thanks!

Doctorate Deadlines

As you may or may not know, I'm in the midst of studying for a doctoral degree in ministry. From time to time deadlines come and blogging takes a back seat. That will probably be the case for the next couple of weeks. I'll be sure to post if something interesting comes across my path, otherwise, updates may be sparse. Keep PEZzing!

Faster PEZ

If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, then I'm flattered :-) An Israeli collector started a "Faster PEZ" blog with updates to his collection and a picture gallery of his collection. He's the guy that operates the Facebook pages for buying, selling and trading PEZ. Best wishes to him as he starts his blog at http://fasterpez.com/. He also has a picture of the new Squishy PEZ from Monsters University which is to be released in the US at anytime. It can be found here. Lastly, not sure if you've noticed, but he's taken a blank truck and added FASTER PEZ in the PEZ candy font for his logo. However, he's mirrored the image of the truck before adding FASTER PEZ, and you can see the US Patent is written backwards.

Candy Industry Article on "John Ratzenberger" PEZ Dispensers

Blog reader Danny sent in this neat article from Candy Industry magazine about the set of PEZ that was made of each character John Ratzenberger voiced for Pixar. The photo's been out for a little while, but this article in Candy Industry magazine was just released yesterday. Thanks Danny for the link. Enjoy!
