My Mistake on the Star Wars Pictorial (The Blue Mandalorian)

After dedicating a significant amount of time to this project, I unfortunately made an error. I mistakenly used a picture with a hue different from the original, thinking it was a variation. This turned out to be incorrect and caused confusion when added to the pictorial.
 It's important to note that a blue-hued version of the 
Mandalorian does NOT exist
My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.
The pictorial has now been updated, 
and you can view the corrected version HERE
Please accept my apologies for any confusion caused.

FIRST LOOK: New Licensed Strawberry and Lemon PEZ Ice Cream...

What goes into a Feel Good Summer, 
of course a delicious ice cream.
An ice cream is always possible, 
and if it's from PEZ, then even more so.

In the past, PEZ ice cream has been available
 in both the USA and Europe.
At the forefront of our collections are of course 
the Jijonenca ice cream from Spain in 2018 (here)
as the great 
mini Hello Kitty and Emoji PEZ dispensers 
were included with the ice cream.  
Now another manufacturer in Europe has joined them:
 Income from Slovenia has acquired the PEZ license.

The new Ice Cream Sticks in the shape of our beloved 
PEZ Candies are available in 
Lemon and
 Strawberry flavors. 
(Europe only)

The ice cream box with 4 x80ml ice cream is 
now available at Lidl Slovenia and Tesco in Hungary.
Of course, we hope that Lidl Global will add
 the new PEZ ice cream to its range and bring it
 onto the market in all European stores.

Even if the new PEZ Ice Cream won't find a place 
in our collections, we would like to at least put 
the packaging in our display cases.
Now we are looking forward to summer even more.
Happy Collecting!

Pez Wars: Journey Through the Galactic Peziverse NEW Star Wars Pictorial

Months in the making, when I returned to the blog in late October, Ghosty's first request was for a Star Wars Pictorial.  
Shortly after, Cam Art on Facebook shared a wonderful picture guide by year, which proved invaluable for this extensive project. So many many thanks and hugs to Cam Art ❤️. 
Given my slower pace and penchant for double and triple-checking my work, I must admit I'm not as savvy as many PEZ collectors out there. 

A heartfelt thank you is owed to momopez.com, one of the foremost contributors to our hobby. Maintaining the largest database of pictures for every dispenser ever made is no small feat, and Wolfgang Handl ❤️ has tirelessly contributed to this effort for many years. Since our blog's inception, Wolfgang has been an invaluable source of support and guidance. Hugs, MoMo.

So welcome to our newest page - Star Wars Pictorial

As always, if you see something missed please send an email to pezpalz@gmail.com

Power Market Connivence Store a roadside attraction, rapid expansion and now a PEZ truck hauler

Power Market: Beyond a Simple Gas Station!

Step into your neighborhood store where 
exceptional service meets 
a diverse array of snacks, hot meals, 
refreshing drinks, groceries, and much more! 
Over 20 years ago, Power Market rose 
to fame as a roadside attraction when a spaceship
 crash-landed near a market in Lathrop, 
CA, crafting a truly memorable spectacle.
 The current status of the store, whether is still 
the UFO design or has undergone reconstruction
 to a new modern design, remains unclear. 
Nevertheless, we genuinely value the uniqueness 
of the orginal and acknowledge the thoughtfulness
 that went into building this store.

Exciting news from Power Market, 
with numerous locations in California– introducing 
their first-ever PEZ truck! 
About time, right? ;)
 
What catches our attention is the vibrant green 
cabin on the truck, and we can't help but admire
 the fantastic PEZ card adorned 
with numerous Power Market logos. 
A true eye-catcher!
New PEZ Power Market Truck now available. (USA only)
We're genuinely thrilled about this 
addition and believe that these trucks 
at Power Market stores will captivate not 
only PEZ collectors but everyone 
who encounters them.

Head over to Power Market, grab the new trucks
, and why not take a few extras for 
those without a Power Market store nearby?
Happy Collecting!

Double the Joy: PEZ Panda Bears Return to Spread Smiles for Mother's and Father's Day

It's well-established that the panda bear 
brings smiles to many faces.
 This was evident when the panda bear
 returned to our collections for the first time
 in many years in spring 2020, 
much to our delight. 
It was introduced as a limited edition 
in both Europe and the USA.
Best Dad Ever PEZ Panda and Best Mom Ever 2024 limited edition PEZ PALZ
In April 2021, we excitedly announced 
the arrival of the new European 
PEZ Crystal Glitter Convention Panda Bears. 
Due to the widespread popularity of the dispensers,
 PEZ International decided to produce the panda
 as a European convention dispenser for 
hosts across the continents. 
Between 2021 and 2023, there were 16 different
 Convention Panda bears. 
However, the 16th from Indonesia never made 
an appearance, presumably lost 
somewhere along the way.

Given that PEZ designed the panda bear mold
 and holds the license for it, 
combined with the immense fan base
 worldwide, PEZ has devised 
a fantastic plan to revive it.
Best Dad Ever PEZ Panda and Best Mom Ever 2024 limited edition


Let's honor our mothers and fathers with 
the delightful PEZ crystal panda bears,
 bringing smiles to the faces of our beloved
 parents on Mother's Day and Father's Day.
Best Dad Ever PEZ Panda and Best Mom Ever on Blister Card 2024 limited edition
The Crystal Panda Queen, designed for mothers, 
features sweet hearts in her eyes 
symbolizing love, gratitude, and beauty, 
along with the
 "Best Mom Ever" 
print on the stem. 
Meanwhile, the Crystal Panda Father, expressing 
strength, love, and happiness, 
has stars in his eyes, accompanied by the 
"Best Dad Ever" 
print on the stem.
 Mothers and Fathers Day PEZ Pictorial Super Dad, Best Mom Ever, Mama and Papa Bear and now the NEW Mom and Dad PEZ Panda's for 2024
All of this is enhanced in Europe with the addition 
of Nashi PEZ Candies. 
These are now exclusively available online in 
Europe through PEZ International. (here)
Our American PEZ collector friends will soon be 
able to initiate the ordering process, 
as these sweet bears will also be available 
online at PEZ Candy Inc.
Happy Collecting!
