Sweets and Snacks Expo Cancelled for 2020

With social distancing becoming a new part of our lives sadly 
many events are being cancelled for 2020 and the latest to be officially 
announced is the Sweets and Snacks Expo which 
happens every year in Chicago, Illinois.
This is usually where we see the future of PEZ for the coming year. 
Between ISM in Cologne, Germany in February and the 
Sweets and Snacks Expo, this is where we get most 
of our new PEZ news. 
 For the past few years a special PEZ is specially produced for the event. 
We have so many questions for this year 
we wonder what will 
become of the special dispenser? 
We think they have prepared a new mascot, 
will they save them up for 2021?  
Will we be able to get the normal mascot again on the PEZ Website? 
Where we will see all the new ones for 2021? 
Most of the new movies are postponed, 
what about the new dispensers they have planned for the movie release? 
For now we will have to wait until the plans are released in a new alternative way.  
We are thinking of the team that has gone to so much work making the always amazing PEZ booth, we hope there is some way to see all of the creativity maybe virtually.
For now the most important thing is- until the world heals we can wait.
Stay safe everyone.


You can check our our event calendar HERE we will be keeping this page up to date with all the changing information.  If you are a host and have a change to your event please let us know at pezpalz@gmail.com

PEZ PANDA UPDATES for Europe and the US...

The time has come
the new PEZ Panda bears TAO & LOU are available on the 
European PEZ homepage 
as of today, as announced by PEZ International.
We can only recommend that you order them as soon as possible, here
because the number is limited and the limited 
editions of PEZ are always sold out very quickly.


Good news also for all of our American PEZ collectors, 
as PEZ Candy Inc. posted on their social media channels 
last week, the two cute pandas will also 
be available on the 
American market this summer.
We are happy to show you the first look of the american card.  
Happy Collecting!

A note to our readers
We have and know so many of our dear PEZ friends from all over the world. Starting with Eleonora from Italy, she is going through a really hard time right now, but as we see and hear the world is fighting everywhere with the same problems. PEZ is still our loved hobby, PEZ makes us smile, we know hard days can come for all of us, or are already here but we know some gatherings are cancelled and if this helps to save just one life, then this was worth it. Some of our PEZ Friends are working as emergency personnel and we just want to thank everyone and each of you, for all you do. The most important thing is, stay positive, take care of you and your loved ones, help each other who need help, and we will be, after this hard time all closer than ever. 
The PEZ Community will stay strong, and we will fight through this together.
From us, prayers and positive vibes to all of you out there.

in East Rutherford, NJ last winter
with over 10 000 types of candy and an amazing selection of PEZ,

 first look and of course we are freaking out here...

NOW AVAILABLE! NEW Stems, new Prints for Scooby Doo 2020 PEZ

SCOOBY DOO!
The cartoon series was first aired in the US, 
more than 50 years ago and became classic.
Countless episodes later, the characters still look virtually
 the same as they did in the very first broadcast in 1969.

Now a new animated movie SCOOB, with the voices of Mark Wahlberg, 
Zac Efron and Mckenna Grace, will reveal how the five friends actually met.
The new movie is set to hit the theaters in May.

Back in 2014 PEZ made a Scooby Doo Gift Set only for the US market, 
now PEZ will re-release the Scooby assortment 
but this time worldwide,  
with a few changes to the first set.
SCOOBY will now have the SD logo printed on the stem.
The new SHAGGY will have facial hair.
DAPHNE will have a purple stem.
FRED will be on a new white stem instead of blue
and VELMA will have freckles.
The new Scooby PEZ assortment will be available in Europe on cards.
Our US friends will have them as standard assortment, 
plus in a nice designed twin pack.
NOW AVAILABLE HERE: PEZ.com
We are sure we will see them also on a double PEZ card.

To show you a overview of all the changes, we have prepared a
pictorial for you.
We can't wait to add the new dispensers 
to our collections!
Happy Collecting!


New Scooby has a printed stem.
New Shaggy has facial hair.

How to find a PEZ using a UPC with the Walmart App

Maybe you know, 
but I just learned not long ago that you can look for a PEZ
 (or any item in Walmart stores) using the Walmart app.  
Thinking this might be helpful for some looking for a item rather than driving from store to store 
(like many of my nights driving up and down I-5)

First- Download the App.
Step 1- Open the App.
Step 2- Choose the scanning option.
Step 3- Scan the UPC. 
This can be any picture from any surface. Computer monitor, printed paper, etc.
Step 4- Get the results (you can change your location to check other stores)
This is just one tool in our toolbox, sometimes looking in store is the best option.
We hope this information can help find what you're looking for.
Happy Hunting!

NEW Disney PEZ Monorail Car Display

We have had many reader requests to share the new
Monorail car display
which were recently found in the Disney Parks. 
In late 2019 Woody, Buzz, Alien, Slinky Dog, Mickey and Minnie were 
discovered in Walt Disney World in and Disneyland later in February 
Donald and Goofy 
joined the specialty printed set and were first spotted in Disneyland. 
Now it looks like Disney PEZ now have a new accessory, 
their very own monorail cars!!

 A red car and blue car have been spotted in the parks and each car holds 8 PEZ. 
 The only sad part about it is they don't have a PEZ logo 
on them which makes us wonder if this is just a Disney design, 
and not a PEZ collaboration. 
They come in a red and blue models, 
which one will you add to your collection?

They are here!!! New Spongebob PEZ range has been found...(with bar code)

CRYSTAL, GOLD, and GLITTER... 
we have all wanted this from PEZ for years.

As reported a few days ago, (here) all of this is summarized in the 
new edition of the PEZ Spongebob series. (USA only)

Today a double Spongebob card was found at the Walmart 
and here we can take a first look at what 
Spongebob with Bubble printed stem (common) 
and the Crystal yellow Spongebob (special) 
really look like.

In our opinion, this series is one of the best in recent years and yes, 
we would definitely want to have more versions like this in the future.

Now we can't wait to see the 
GLITTER (rare) and 
the GOLDEN (limited to 1000) 
Spongebob in real.
Stay tuned, it will be exciting!
Thank you Austin J. for the pictures

NEW VARIATION....the return of Thomas the Train PEZ...

 When we first heard of the rumor that 
Thomas the train 
got a new mold, we were initially a little surprised.
That gave us the opportunity to do some research on it.

Now we can report as follows, 
yes Thomas is back to the PEZ assortment (USA only), 
but unfortunately not with a new mold!
But that makes the whole thing interesting again for our collections - 
there are noticeable color differences on the print and on the stem color!
The biggest and new difference is in the eyes - 
on the new Thomas you will find white dots on eyes. 
A new card has also been designed for this purpose. 
NEW WITH WHITE DOTS ON EYES!
The new Thomas is part of the Nick Jr. Line, 
and now available at PEZ.com
Happy Collecting!
THOMAS & FRIENDS Through the years...
WE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY HAS PEZ NEVER MADE #2 Edward 
Thank you MoMoPez.com for the pictures.

New look of the PEZ European Online Shop...

Today we have something great to report for our European PEZ fans!
 Many of have wondered, for weeks 
there was nothing new to be found in the PEZ.at online shop.
Halloween and Christmas dispensers were still there!

Then on friday there was a big surprise!  PEZ was having a spring sale 
in their webshop and now selected PEZ series are being offered 30% less.
This gives us the unique chance to get many great deals!
 You will need to hurry, the sale ends today!

But there is a reason for all this!

We can exclusively report, the European PEZ online shop 
will be revamped and will soon have a new look.
Previously, we could only buy the entire series, but now this
 will be changed to such an extent that in the future everyone will have the oppurtunity to purchase each dispenser individually.
We hope that the online shop will be expanded with many 
great PEZ procucts and that we will soon be able to find 
the new panda bears as well as some new merchandise items!
Stay tuned, as soon as everthing is online, 
we will of course report about it.
We are very excited to see what PEZ International will come up with.
Here you can find the SPRING SALE from PEZ International (Euro only)
