In the age of social media, we are used to seeing,
sharing or posting the latest PEZ releases
even before they are published.
But not in this case!
Just by coincidence we discovered something
and you will not believe it,
as the dispenser is almost 5 years old!
The entire PEZ community did not know about it.
But let's start slowly and from scratch:
Perhaps you still remember,
in September last year we exclusively reported (here)
that PEZ International, at the request of the
Al Kabli company for Saudi Arabia,
offered the sweet PEZ lamb on two special created cards
for the Eid Ad'ha Mubarak festival of Sacrifice.
While looking for the two lambs for our personal collection,
we got in touch with our friends in Saudi Arabia
and to our surprise we saw a dispenser that was not known yet.
The Al Kabli company sells and imports PEZ for Saudi Arabia.
In 2016 they celebrated their 50th anniversary
and for this special occasion PEZ International
has manufactured a super limited PEZ puck.
The super rare and limited number of
2000 pieces PEZ puck
is on a green stem and has the company logo,
the year of foundation and the 50th anniversary printed on it.
A special card was issued for this purpose,
also bearing the company logo and the
signature of the company owner Dr. Kabli.
Because of the difficult purchase and the rarity,
it could well be that the advertising dispenser will be
guided maybe by the price level of the
Hard Rock PEZ pucks.
Even if the dispenser will unfortunately not find its way
into the many collector's collections,
it was still clear to us that we absolutely
had to introduce the dispenser to you.
Happy Collecting!
some harder to get PEZ promo advertising pucks from the past.
