Pez Questioned about Walmart

Fellow blogger Meagan posed the question to Pez on their Facebook, below is the response.

What's up Walmart?

Some Walmart's have stopped selling Pez! This sucks! 

Write them and tell them to put them back on the shelves! Please share this and lets get our Pez back on the shelves of America's largest retailer!

I emailed them and this is the "standard response" I got. Lets keep after this company!  

Thank you for your message.

Dear Kristian,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding a discontinued item in our store.  Walmart strives to provide our customers with excellent customer service along with a variety of products to meet their needs and preferences.

Many business factors are taken into consideration before discontinuing a product including customer demand.  When the level of demand is insufficient to ensure that consumers receive high quality products at an affordable price, the product may be discontinued in all or some stores.

Each comment, concern and suggestion is very important to us because it gives us the opportunity to evaluate the various aspects of our business.  Be assured that your comments will be forwarded to the appropriate team where it will be reviewed and carefully considered.

Thank you for allowing Walmart to continue saving you money, so you can live better.

Sincerely,
Walmart Customer Care

Mr. Hobart

Today was a first. After reading an ad for an auction I picked up the folks and we headed out at 9am. 4 hours later, standing around in the sun (which kills vampire's like me) the 400 or so Pez emerged from the 5000 square foot house, a 20 dollar bid bought me the best from Mr. Hobarts basement Pez collection, what's upstairs is yet to be seen. These were a few of Mr. Hobart's Pez from 1 of his many collections which ranged from Books to YoYo's. Mr. Hobart is 89 years old and will be going into a nursing home within a few months. Thank You Sir, for preserving these fine creatures.  They will be loved for at least the rest of my lifetime.

Walmart Haulers

Want to give a shout out to Meagan H. for pointing out that there are a total of 13 Walmart haulers.  Meagan has 10 trucks in her collection. (the one on the bottom row is a toysRus truck)


                                                                Meagan's photo

This is the hauler that was given away to employees which is very hard to find.

These 8 are the only Walmart trucks in my collection, if you have pictures of the missing trucks please send them my way on facebook, Pez Pal Kristian.


Do you have one for sale that I am missing please email me at pezpalz@gmail.com I usually have many for trade however at this time I am unable to access them, therefore I cannot do any trades at this time.

This has been an excellent way to meet wonderful people all over the world who share the same intrest. It is truly amazing how dedicated collectors are to helping one another.  

Facebook Pez auctions, run by Jessica & Joey make for some of funnest Sunday's ever, really a joy to attend these events.


Thank You Facebook friends.

New Additions

Picked these guys up on eBay, this lot is cherry!  Mint condition as if they had never been touched. I've never seen Pez in this condition.


These guys were picked up for $20 on eBay. 


Mickey is made up of 2 to exact dispensers the stem was in great condition but his head was not so I purchased another Mickey and replaced a head.  Some collectors would say this is a NO NO, but I don't feel that way.  


Looking for the Stewarts Ice cream truck if you have one for sale please send an email my way pezpalz@gmail.com

Mood: HAPPY

Well, sometimes things just don't work out. Drove 40 miles to meet the lady and she didn't show up.  In this case it changed my mood to HAPPY.  I still have the  Nurse & Doc.
