Where in the universe are all the PEZ Mars Rovers?

When PEZ Candy Inc. introduced the 
Space Mission dispensers in their 
shop's party box for sale, 
a surge of demand emerged unlike anything
 seen in a long time for party packs.

It seemed as though everyone was eager
 to add these dispensers to their collections at last.

However, when the deliveries arrived, 
disappointment ensued as it became apparent 
that the party box of 12 often contained 
only one or none of the coveted Mars Rover dispensers.

European PEZ collectors, finding the 
dispensers in stores without the 
Mars Rover variant, began to question
 its scarcity, pondering if it would incite a 
fierce battle among collectors.
This uncertainty prompted us to reach out to PEZ 
for clarification on the Mars Rover dispensers. 
 
PEZ confirmed that there were minor delays, 
resulting in initial deliveries either lacking
 the dispenser entirely or including it sparingly. 
However, they assured us that the dispenser 
is now being included as standard in subsequent orders.

We hope this post provides some reassurance, 
and we extend our best wishes for your 
success and enjoyment in acquiring these 
sought-after additions to your collections.
Happy Collecting!

Wizarding World- The Debut of the Harry Potter Hogwarts Sweater PEZ Dispenser

It became evident to all of us upon the 
debut of the NHL Canada Hockey Jerseys
 last November that this wouldn't mark the 
final iteration of the new jersey design.
 
 Just recently, PEZ Candy Inc. unveiled the new 
Harry Potter 
Hogwarts 
Jersey under the
 "Coming Soon" section.

As is often the case with matters of taste, 
opinions were divided upon the introduction
 of the new Harry Potter Hogwarts dispenser. 
While some embraced it with enthusiasm,
 others among the PEZ collecting community 
expressed disappointment.

However, it's important to recognize that 
the dispenser is a licensed product,
 bound by clear specifications and 
guidelines from the licensor.

We're excited to present the new dispenser 
on it's Blister Card packaging, as we believe it 
offers a fresh perspective on its appearance.

Thank you PEZ Candy Inc. for the picture.
The coordination between the gold accents
 on the blister card and the Harry Potter logo,
 complemented by the gold stem, 
along with the prominent blue PEZ logo 
and Hogwarts stem print, 
creates a visually striking ensemble. 
Additionally, the inclusion of mystery 
PEZ Candy packs adds an element of anticipation,
 with the blue color theme continuing throughout.

To us, it resembles a work of art, 
exuding elegance in its presentation.

Regardless of individual opinions 
on this dispenser, it will undoubtedly find 
its place in every collector's showcase. 
 
While we may all have our critiques, 
it's important to remember that this is 
part of the rich tapestry of our hobby—a diversity 
of perspectives that keeps it engaging.
So, here's to happy collecting!

Reviving Nostalgia: The Story of PEZ's Iconic Sissi and Mozart Dispensers with NEW 2024 updated release


I vividly recall the autumn of 2007 when the two iconic 
 Mozart and Sissi 
PEZ dispensers 
made their grand debut alongside 
the trio of Mickey Mouse dispensers, 
marking PEZ's 80th anniversary. 
The unveiling sparked a frenzy within the PEZ community
 as enthusiasts scrambled to acquire these 
coveted dispensers, which were fetching 
exorbitant prices on eBay at the time.
Securing these dispensers proved to be 
a challenge even in Austria, 
where they were exclusively available 
through Confisserie Heindl. 
Each new shipment would vanish from 
shelves in a blink, perpetuating the scarcity 
and escalating demand.
Fast forward to 2008, and the reemergence 
of the Mozart and Sissi dispensers as special 
editions for the NH Hotel Group, 
accompanied by the NH Pal Boy on card, 
added another layer of exclusivity. 
Adorned with the NH Hotel insignia, these 
dispensers were solely distributed in 
NH Hotels in Vienna and Salzburg, 
becoming prized possessions within the 
collecting community, fetching values of $100-150.
In a delightful turn of events, 
PEZ revived the beloved Sissi and Mozart 
dispensers in 2017, presenting them in a 
charming "I Love Austria" gift box. 
Wunderkinder, the creative minds behind many
 PEZ projects, generously allowed the public 
a glimpse into the production process through 
a captivating video showcasing the making 
of the Sissi and Mozart PEZ gift box.
You can find our post and the video here.

With the lifting of Corona restrictions 
and the resurgence of travel and tourism, 
PEZ's decision to reintroduce these iconic
 dispensers (same mold) is a welcomed one. 
Accompanying the revival is a splendid
 new PEZ blister card adorned with quintessential 
Austrian motifs such as the famous 
Sacher cake, apple strudel, Vienna landmarks,
 the violin, SKI, and the gentian flower, 
all complemented by the endearing 
"I love Austria" heart.

For collectors and travelers seeking a 
quintessential Austrian souvenir, 
the availability of these dispensers on the 
iconic blister card is indeed a cause for celebration. 
They will soon be accessible in key tourism 
destinations across Austria.
A small number of the 
Sissi PEZ dispenser will be also offered in 
PEZ European Online Store.  
Happy Collecting!

Bullseye Surprises: A Decade of Target Treasures and NOW A TRUCK!

These are the surprises we cherish the most, 
especially during Easter, so let the hunt commence! 

Our excitement soared when the Target Bullseye dog,
bearing the Holiday Gift Card, showered down on us for 
the first time at the end of October 2013.

Exactly a year later, in October 2014, this delightful 
tale repeated itself, with the addition 
of a Santa Bullsey and a mini Bullseye dog
 sporting an elf hat to Target's festive offerings.
Now, nearly a decade later, 
PEZ has once again partnered with Target, 
delivering a fantastic truck to Target stores, 
complete with the iconic Target logo and the 
beloved Bullseye dog mascot. 
PEZ Target Truck Hauler featuring Bullseye the Dog in 2024 on card
The card is very colorful and fits
 the modern theme that Target Corporation is 
incorporating into the modern new store designs. 

We're thrilled to expand our 
PEZ fleet with this new addition. 

Attached is the UPC code for your convenience.
Or ask for the Item store number 055-10-0051 for a search!
UPDATE: 
It's going to be in the summer seasonal section 
after they take down the Easter assortment.
They are labeled transition to be set on March 31st.

Redesigning Target's semi truck! Conception for this project was a dream come true! How do you design something to be timeless on a vehicle and bring joy to all? It took months in the making, a lot of sketches, and most importantly a great partnership with Lab Partners to bring it to life!
