V.I.P. GATHERING! It's a BABY GIRL!

After a year of preparation and planning, VIIIP
 third Vienna International PEZ Gathering has taken place.
It's a Girl! Limited Edition of 360 pcs.
So many emotions are still in me,
 first of all the greatest thing is that
 I have a clear head and thoughts again. 
 
 In the decisive organizational phase, 
a few things were still pending, many of these things 
could only be done at short notice before 
or on the day of the gathering. 
 Talent for improvisation and the help of my
 friends and family were required.
 
 
 When Willi, Yasin and I started planning the first 
V.I.P. Gathering in Vienna, Austria in 2015, 
the three of us knew firstly that our Gathering would 
only take place every 4 years and secondly that our fourth Viennese PEZ Gathering had 
to take place when PEZ celebrates its 
hundredth anniversary in 2027.
Even then, we could never have dreamed
 that our V.I.P. Gathering would become the most international 
and largest European PEZ collectors' meeting. 
First V.I.P crystal Groom, second V.II.P. crystal Bride, third V.III.P transparent Baby Girl
This year 130 people from 19 different 
countries attended our V.I.P. Gathering took part, 
and our sincere thanks go to so many people who
 really worked hard for this, but also to every single
 participant who came for our meeting.
 
With our VIP dispensers, we have repeatedly caused a stir 
and enthusiasm in the PEZ communities in recent years. 
 In 2015 we presented our great 
white/red crystal V.I.P. Groom to the public, 
and the matching bride was presented at
 our second V.I.P. meeting in 2015.  
 
Over the past few months our promotional objects 
(designed by the fabulous Ty B.) 
have included the pregnant bride and a stork delivering a baby.  
 
After the PEZ Boy had repeatedly enlarged 
our collections in a wide variety of colors over many 
years and the PEZ Girl had not been taken into account,
 it was absolutely clear to us that a PEZ Girl had to return!  
 
The best thanks go to PEZ International, 
and especially to Gabi, 
who fought for our super sweet girl. 
 The V.I.P. PEZ Baby Girl  transparent face, was produced in an 
limited edition of 360 pcs. for our VIP Gathering.  
We hope you like our girl, it makes us really proud!
Stay tuned, I have a give-a-way on the blog ciming in 
the next few days where you can win the V.I.P. girl. 
Happy Collecting! 
Third V.III.P Gathering, 130 Participant from all over the World.
I would also like to take this post as an opportunity to 
thank everyone who made V.I.P. three possible!
 
 Of course, my dear wife Vesna for her tireless strength and energy, 
my big boy Dorian with his friend Nika 
who kept my PEZ sales stand up and running.  
 
To my co-host Yasin for all his amazing work,
 bro we are the best team!  
Our dear Gerda Jahn, who was at our side again this year 
for many great photos and autographs.  
Thank you Gerda for being an integral part of our 
family from the very beginning.  
 
Snezi, the great PEZ girl who drew everyone's attention. 
 Dejo my cousin from Serbia who carried 
and dragged so much and was calm by itself. 
 
 Diance aka Paparazzo was always in a good mood, 
with her cell phone in her hand and took lots of great photos and videos.  
 
Viki and Zlajo, who were so versatile.  
 
The entire Hotel Ibis for a great 4 days in your house.  
MoMo for creating our lovely V.I.P. 
 
Website, and the grup pictures.
And Gabi and Julia from PEZ International, girls you rock!  
 
All participants of the third V.I.P. Meet PEZ, 
thank you for being part of the VIP family.

NOW AVAILABLE! Let's celebrate Disney's 100th birthday with 14 new PEZ dispensers!

Disney and PEZ have had a great business 
partnership since 1962, 
and we have this to thank for the 
many great Disney PEZ dispensers in our collection.
 
 We were able to present the new 
Disney 100 Anniversary PEZ dispensers 
to you for the first time back in February.(here)
 PEZ Candy Inc. is celebrating Disney's 100th anniversary
 with an unbelievable 14 new PEZ dispensers!  
 
Not only that there are three great new 
Disney 100 years of wonder tins, 
with the classic Disney PEZ dispensers like Mickey and Minnie, 
but also of course Star Wars and the Marvel series,
 all in a great platinum look. 
 
 Now they are finally here! You can now order the 
great new sets from PEZ Candy. (here) 
Disney 100 gift tin with platinum Goofy, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck, available here
Disney 100 Marvel gift tin with platinum Ant-Man, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Black Panther available here.
Disney 100 StAR WARS gift tin with platinum R2-D2, Darth Vader, Baby Yoda and Chewbacca, available here.
The twin package with the two retro 
Mickey and Minnie must have been a little harder 
to come by in the USA, 
we have heard from many PEZ dealers that the 
orders have been reduced. 
 Could also have something to do with the f
act that PEZ International offers the Twin Packages
 in a different design in a limited edition of 1000 pieces, 
and that the production capacities of the dispensers 
were exhausted.  
USA Mickey retro gift set (sold out online) Euro available here.
Now it's time to make room in our collection, 
as it means welcoming 14 new PEZ dispensers and a 
new giant Mickey to our collections in one fell swoop.
You can order all the great new PEZ gift sets here.
Happy Collecting!

PEZ Candy Inc. announces two new Star Wars PEZ dispensers for this year...

The Star Wars PEZ dispensers probably take up 
the most space in our collections and showcases, 
over the years we have had great PEZ dispensers 
from the Star Wars series in our collections. 
 Now PEZ Candy Inc. (USA) has announced 
on their upcoming page two more dispensers,
 R2-D2 and Chewbacca are being revised, 
and to our delight we can add these to all our great 
Star Wars PEZ dispensers by the end of this year.  
 
Coming later this year, new Chewbacca and R2-D2 PEZ dispenser.
 
While we don't see any significant or serious differences
 in the officially shared photos of PEZ, 
 we can't tell whether new molds were made for this,
 we probably have to be patient a little bit
 to be able to analyze the differences 
between the new and old dispensers. 
 But let's be happy that we will soon be able to 
welcome two Star Wars PEZ dispensers.
Happy Collecting!

New PEZ ornaments from Kat and Annie now available...

While we are still enjoying the last few 
days of summer and don't even want to
 think about Christmas yet, 
Christmas will probably come sooner than we might like. 
 
 Kat and Annie have been offering us great 
licensed PEZ Christmas ornaments since 2021,
 to our delight there are three new ornaments again
 this year, and we can already secure them online.
 
Kat and Annie know what we love, 
so this year they're adding the beloved 
Santa Snowglobe,  
which turned out really great, 
the Santa is printed on it, and the snow in the ball can be shaken.
Felling Duck, 
Whatever the reason the duck was chosen as a 
Christmas ornament, 
it looks really good.
Of course the obligatory Cherry PEZ Candy 
should not be missing.
 
New 2023 Christmas PEZ Ornaments from Kat and Annie


 
We couldn't resist and have created another 
pictorial for you with all the 
Kat and Annie PEZ ornaments.

If you are missing one or the other ornament in 
your collection, you can still order it directly 
from Kat and Annie (here).
Happy Collecting!

PEZPALZ is taking a little break...because VIP Gathering is coming!

Even if I'd rather let the sun shine on my stomach, 
unfortunately it's not like that. 
 
 As many of you know, I am part of the hosting team for the
V.I.P.
Vienna International PEZ Gathering in Vienna, 
and there is still a lot to be done, 
as 130 collectors from all over the world have registered,
 and a whopping 19 nations will be represented. 
 As much as I'd like to,
 I can't provide you with news about our dear hobby
 for the next three weeks, I have to take a little break
 and focus completely on VIP. 
 But don't worry, 
all of this will of course be made up for by me. 
 Stay tuned, I still have great things to report :) 
 Happy Collecting!

NEW Summer PEZ Edition! Crystal PEZIMALS dispensers are here...

As soon as we saw the
 PEZIMALS range last year we were enchanted
 by the dispensers and wished that this series 
would definitely be expanded.
 
Nothing has happened to date, 
and no expansion is planned for next year either,
 it remains with the three dispensers, which makes us a little sad.

At the end of June we reported on a special
 Summer PEZ Edition with crystal PEZ dispensers. (here)
 SURPRISE!
Now the cat is out of the bag,
 or rather the official pictures as well 
as the dispensers are now available!
It became the three PEZIMALS dispensers
available as a special edition as crystal vartiante.
YAYYYYY! 
PEZ Candy USA is the first and has just activated the 
three great dispensers
 Milo the Monkey, 
Giggi the Giraffe 
and Ella the Elephant
in their online shop (here).
 
As announced, 
PEZ International will also offer them in their 
online shop in the middle/end of August, 
unfortunately European PEZ collectors 
will have to be a little patient.
Thank you PEZ Candy Inc. for the pictures.
But at least we will all have the opportunity 
to add the lovely dispensers to our collections.
Even if it's not an extension of the range, 
we're quite happy about the
 three new crystal PEZ dispensers. 
Enough of us now, go get the three sweet new ones now. (here)
Happy Collecting!

New PEZ Pets Plush Dog spotted...

Off to the Winco; 
because that's where our friend Juan 
spotted a new 
PEZ PETS Plus Dog today.
The only question is, 
do you buy two at the same time, 
one as a toy for your pooch, and of course also one for your collections.
Anyway, 
again something great for our collections.
Happy Collecting!
