The Long Haul Project Phase 1

The “Long Haul Project” has officially begun based on spreadsheets from Pez Collector Carmine, 601 different trucks have been recorded.  While some trucks sell over $100.00 others sell for about $5.00.  
I will be beginning with the cheap ones first.  Initial estimates are showing the the Long Haul Project could cost anywhere between $7,000 - $12,000 or probably even more to complete if it is even possible.  I think I am up for even it takes the next 20 years to accomplish. So we begin with phase 1 Complete Promotional & D Series

AMAZING 2014 PEZ YEAR!

2014 is almost gone and it's time to look back!

It was a wonderful PEZ year for us. We had many stories, gifts and winners this year. 

206 posts with a total of 635 pictures!

We presented great stories, some exclusive first-look pictures from Günters Kleinmünchen Ghosts, Ivan's 6 Gathering pucks from Slovenia, the cool looking Steel City Gathering dispenser, we had the Finnish Duck and the Swedish Reindeer on our blog in that minute after the presentation was over in Finland and Sweden, the Chocolate mini egg with a mini PEZ Dispenser, last but not least the never seen before Cruspi Dispenser. 

The PEZ Headz Promo pack was also on our blog, long before Pez candy US released it. The Pez headz and the my little pony press releases hit our blog at first. We reported also about some special eBay Auctions, we shared funny PEZ Youtube Videos and a lot of nice PEZ Pictures.

As many of you know, we love the Slogan, Pez makes a Smile, so that is why we started our contests and giveaways. We had wonderful winners and wonderful prices, we totally flipped out when we got the Cruspi dispenser for one of our readers,  Pam won the dispenser long before they hit to some others.

The Swiss Soccer Balls, FC Basel Balls, Toy Story Terror Cat, Mini Nemo Dispenser, My Little Pony Set, the SC Bern Pucks and the cool Japan Gathering Bubble with a fun "Bubble in trouble" picture contest are some of our prizes of 2014. A great looking 2014 PEZ Pictorial with a big voting, for the favorite 2014 PEZ Dispenser, was the last big thing on our blog.

You can now follow us on Facebook, Twitter and on Instagram. We have created our logo with the two PEZ-Dispenser the Bunny (Pez Pal Kristian) and the Skull (Ghosty). We can't thank everyone who has helped us over the past year enough for everything you have done for us.  We are so grateful to you all.  

It was a wonderful and fun year for us, and we are very excited to rock with you in 2015.  More stories, more surprises and a lot of new gifts and contests...as we love our hobby, we love PEZ and we like to share it with you :) Hope to see you in 2015 again...here on our blog :) Lots of Love to all of our readers all over the world :)

What we can hope for in 2015

In 2014 at the Sweets & Snacks Expo in Chicago we saw Star Wars, Harry Potter, & a New Hello Kitty Tin which hopefully we see at market next year.. Wonder what else we can expect for 2015, but we are sure that 2015 will be a great year for Pez!
