The 9th Swedish PEZ Gathering....

Sadly the 9th Swedish PEZ gathering is over, it was a full day with super great PEZ friends and a lot of PEZ fun, but PEZ time goes always to fast :)

later more on that....

Like always, I was super chaotic, started to pack my
extra PEZ for the gathering some hours before we left for our trip.
We had booked the hotel just one day before arriving in Stockholm.
I don't know how you manage that all, but my days are
always too short for everything :D

 

All went fine, and my wife and I arrived Friday in the morning in Stockholm.
We had a Hotel in the heart of Stockholm, lots of good Shops, and nice bars were around our Hotel.

The funny thing, we got our Room over a Candy Shop :D
and this was the first place where I have found PEZ later that day.

After a perfect breakfast, we started our Stockholm
(the capitol of Sweden) tour.
Stockholm is spread across 14 Islands, and I need to say this is a super cool City, lot of beautiful places, very nice old buildings, and many Museums to visit.

 

Sweden is very successful in music.
Lots of great songwriters and good musicians come from Sweden.
Sweden has won 6 times the European Song Contest, and
Roxette, ABBA ruled the world with their music.
 

We decided to visit the
ABBA Museum.
It was a very nice and fun Museum, you are involved to do a
ABBA Karaoke, to make a funny ABBA Video, and lot of other things.
The Museum has also lot of ABBA original Costumes, Prizes, Letters, and Tourmerchandies, and its not just interested for ABBA Fans.

The place around the ABBA museum is great to visit too,

the Vasa Museum (Vasa the world's only preserved 17th century ship)
a Zoo and a nice amusement park are just located next to the ABBA museum.

After a full walking day, we enjoyed our dinner, and a nice
sauna evening at our Hotel.

Saturday the big Gathering day... 
 

We arrived at 9:30 am at the gathering, and were warm welcomed
from every site. It's always so nice and fine to meet and see our friends again, and to make new friendships.

Patrik and Anders did a good job,
to bring us all together, and to organize a nice small and familiar gathering.

After our PEZ talks, we started to fill our selling tables and the table for all my extra PEZ was mostly full :) 

As we worked on our table, Patrik brought us our goddiebag, full of nice PEZi stuff, and YES the SWE "lovey" dispenser was included.

Patrik and Anders kept the secret, how the dispenser (stem) will look like
till the end, and wanted to share the surprise with all the gathering guests. 
 

 

The day went super fast, a fun quiz, Bingo, buying, trading, PEZ talks, and the traditional great Swedish gathering cake filled the day.

All in one a super nice and perfect PEZ day in Sweden, got many cool and new pieces for my Collection and can't wait to return next year to celebrate with all my PEZ friends the 10th anniversary for the Swedish PEZ gathering. 

Thanks again Patrik and Anders for a lovely PEZ gathering.

The 9th Swedish PEZ Gathering

It has been 4 years since the last time I was at the Swedish PEZ Gathering, finally we arrived in Stockholm and I'm counting the hours for the 9th Swedish PEZ gathering.

PEZ gatherings/conventions are for me the best place to find great PEZ items, I love to rummage through all the tables with lots of nice PEZ stuff, love to meet new Collectors and to hug my PEZ friends, and yes it is a place where people understand me.

Like every Host in the PEZ world, Patrik and Anders spend a lot of time to prepare a nice event, and to bring all of us all together.

For more then 10 months they keep secret about the Swedish PEZ gathering dispenser, another "lovey" made by PEZ International, but this Saturday we will see it. It will be the last "lovey" for this year, Uwe's dispenser will follow in August 2017. 

Now we will tour the beautiful Stockholm, and to walk to all the historical places. 

And the Lovey is... 

The 2016 SPG official gathering Pez :)

Stay tuned, we will share lots of pictures and news around the gathering.

New Dunkin Donuts Pez Rigs

Dunkin Donuts

2 more new Rigs will be added to the 2016 lineup. The new Dunkin Donuts rigs will be available in fall of 2016 in select locations.  The new rigs were discovered on display in the Pez visitor's center in the Orange, Connecticut earlier this week.  The new rigs are the first to ever be made for Dunkin Donuts by Pez. 

 We are hoping because there are many stores across the country the new rigs will be easier to find, fingers crossed.  While there are no stores here in Oregon,  a lot of states still do have the stores.  

To try and help other collections please send us an email when you have found the new rigs with the location so we can share the news.  Happy Pezzing :)

CHUBU PEZ dispenser UPDATE

 Yesterday we found a picture of the

CHUBU PEZ dispenser. 

We were so excited that this could be a real Pez, But we have sad news,  we can now confirm this guy is unfortunately a fantasy Pez. 

The creator certainly did an amazing job!!

FIRST LOOK?? CHUBU PEZ dispenser...

While searching for PEZ in the web, we found a picture of the

CHUBU PEZ dispenser.

Could this be a new PEZ dispenser from PEZ International?

We still need to find more information but we want to share it with you right now. It looks like the new CHIBU PEZ dispenser is coming from Japan.

For sure we will update the Information when we got the official

Info from PEZ International. 

CHUBU mechatronics, a Japanese company aiming to introduce man-controlled humanoid robots (Mechatrobots) for common use. These includes the WeGo the smallest Mechatrobot for use of children in under-populated areas for transportation and recreation.
