FIRST LOOK: 2017 Kleinmuenchen PEZ Gathering Dispenser...

It's a tradition, and most every Austrian & German
PEZ Collector can't wait for the start of the
Kleinmünchen PEZ Gathering.
(22-25 June, Kleinmünchen-Linz,Austria)

Our dear Friend, the Host Günter Haidinger is celebrating his
8th anniversary this year, and like every year, 
he will organize a super nice and familiar gathering
that offers everything that a PEZ Collector wants to have.
PEZ on every corner,
Room hopping, a harbor tour with the ship,  nice PEZ talks and a wonderful
gathering of PEZ Friends.  This year we will not see any official PEZ Gathering dispenser from PEZ International, but Günter has decided, like every year in the past, to make something nice for his event.The designs are done, stickers are here, dispensers are ordered, the printing house is informed,  and we are super happy to share with

you the FIRST LOOK what the (custom made)
dispensers will look like :)
Like 2015 Günter choose the same designs
(Austrian, upper Austrian, and the Linz coat of arms)
just in a new color combination,
again pucks, this time on green stems with a blue printing on it.

FIRST LOOK: 2nd Edition FC Basel Soccer balls

 Cruspi is the official distributor of PEZ in Switzerland since 1991,

and has again made something for the PEZ Collectors and FC BASEL Fans.

In May 2014 we saw the first Images of the

FC BASEL Soccer Balls.

It was a surprise and the beginning of a great

PEZ journey from Switzerland.

Today, and after the release of the

SC BERN Hockey Pucks and

the BSC YOUNG BOYS Soccer Balls,

we are happy to report about the

second edition of the FC Basel Soccer Balls.
The difference between the 2014 balls and the 2017
 version is the star at the top of the ball over the 
logo also on the 2017 version, the card will feature a whole new design.
We are variation collectors so we will definitely want these for our collections. 
We can expect the new FC Basel balls at the end of April.



FC Basel 1893

is one of the most successful football clubs in Switzerland.

New PEZ PLAY Transformers are here

Finally, we are super happy to add the new

PEZ PLAY TRANSFORMERS to our Collection.

They are now available in the Pez online shop,

which can be found
here

They are the same dispenser that came in 2016, but this time,

Bumblebee,

Optimus Prime and

Grimlock

will have a printed PEZ candy code on the stem

which opens up a whole new dimension.

Simply download the free PEZ PLAY app,

use it to scan the code and let the fun and games begin.

An exciting race against time awaits.

Kids have to dodge the obstacles while being timed. Luckily, PEZ candies also appear on the racetrack - the more they collect, the more time they get.

At the end of the game, kids can turn into their transformer and take a photo.

Are you ready to play? :))

Devilish Crystal found in Lolli & Pops

BIG Shout out and Thank you to Jacey Brian!!! 

Jacey was one of the first collectors to find this crystal "Devilish" in stores!
Found at a store called Lolli & Pops in Boise, Idaho.  

lolliandpops.com

Collector Chris Jordan found the first example of "Devilish" at the Sweets & Snacks expo in Chicago in 2016, then later in June Pez head Aaron Lamay found "Devilish" along with 2 other crystal emojis's on display at the visitors center. 

We can only hope that "Chillin" & "Cheesin" are produced and begin to flow in to stores soon. Let the new hunt begin!
