a great 1980's PEZ Catalogue...


Found on eBay coming from Slovenia this 1980's Pez catalogue. 

What a fun look back at the history of Pez 35 years ago. 






1980 Catalogue
(wondering why PEZ have changed the colours & style?)

Produced for Sale

Aptly named, because they are dogs. Along with their mom, “Ma,” these guys are always trying to rob Scrooge, too. It was always hard to keep them all straight, but names of the Beagle Boys include gems like Bigtime, Babyface, Bankjob, Burger, Baggy, and Bebop.

Little Guide...European PEZ Gatherings...

Recommended for breaking down all those European dispensers from gatherings! Created and written by our dear friend Luis, from Pezilla



PezAMania Newsletter # 2 Written by JoAnn (Scoop) Pillifant

PEZAMANIA 25 CLEVELAND, OHIO 
A QUARTER CENTURY OF FUN
Thursday July 23, 2015 - Saturday July 25, 2015
t's been very exciting at this editor's desk to read all the chatter about Pezamania 25 coming in July this year ! It seems the Internet is literally lit up with comments and questions on Facebook Sites and the Pezhead's List. It all serves to spread the information and get the word out to the masses who have either never attended or didn't know this Convention is so much more than the Saturday Ballroom experience ! The room-hopping during the days preceding the Saturday's Public Attendance, is by far an integral part of this Convention's Experience. You will get to meet up close and personal, our very knowledgeable Vendors who can always be counted on to inform you, steer you in the right directions within your collection must-haves, and above all, give you quality merchandise for fair prices. This is where it all takes place and indeed, friendships form that last for years to come. If you are still sitting on the fence post and trying to decide whether or not to attend this year ~ make your hotel reservations NOW !! The hotel has extended another block of rooms because our Convention reservations are filling up FAST !! I will be honest and say that anyone who waits until a closer date to book their room WILL BE SHUT OUT. Yes !! It's filling up now !! You can cancel your room with the Holiday Inn up to 6 PM on the day of your arrival, if you find you can not attend. If you are intending to stay at the Host Hotel, make your reservations NOW !! When the rooms are gone......they are gone ! We can not construct another wing nor manufacture a room for you ! Ok, consider yourself warned !

 So let's talk about this month's Pezamania 25 Newsletter. In this month's issue, you'll read a great story from one our young collectors, Owen Arbaugh. His story about how he actually began collecting will bring a smile to your face and warm your heart ! Thank you Owen, for submitting this wonderful article.

We have a fantastic surprise to spring on you in this issue !! Eric Wisniewski (aka Pezburgh Punk) will be doing a brand new presentation during the Convention called "PEZ Candy Packs Collecting 101". His information is invaluable for those of you who collect the candy packs. Eric will also talk about his phenomenal art pieces he creates using the Candy Packs. He has once again, donated one of his fantastic Candy Packs Art Pieces for one of our Charity Auctions. Now, as if this new event doesn't add a special "Don't Miss" to your to-do list, we are equally excited to announce that Eric will be accompanied by Shawn Peterson of PEZ Candy USA !! We are very happy to see that Shawn will be attending our Convention this year ! To say that our 25th PEZAMANIA 25FEBRUARY 2015 ISSUE 2 Anniversary Pezamania Convention will contain spectacular experiences for all who attend is quite an understatement !!

Which brings me to another WOW! moment ~ last year's Convention had many wonderful highlights that attendees will forever remember. I know of one young man who's highest auction bid won him a very special package from voice-over artist, Tom Kane. Well, Tom Kane has again extended his generosity to us in providing to the winning bid, an MP3 voice recording as one of his characters with the message of your choice, plus a signed Yoda PEZ (he did the voice of Yoda in The Star Wars animated series), along with his signature on a picture of one of his characters !! It's with great pleasure we say a special thank you to Mr. Tom Kane ! Meeting him was such fun, but discovering what a really generous individual he is was certainly an honor.

I heard a new term this week ! It describes those of us who stand in lines at event after event to secure signatures from public personalities. The word is: Graphers. So, if you have donated signed PEZ for this year's Charity Auctions that you stood in line to get, we thank you and welcome you to the elite group of "Graphers" !!

Our Early Registration Contest is still in full swing ! When you secure your paid registration for the Convention, your name goes into the official Carl Webb Handcrafted Wooden Raffle Bowl for a chance to win a very special PEZ Prize !! This contest ends June 1st, but please, do not wait much longer to get your reservation in.

And lastly, we are beginning to list for your bidding ideas, the auction items. Check out this issue for the list of signed PEZ from the Comicbook World ! Set aside some money each week, beginning now, to give you some bidding power during our auctions and buying power while room-hopping and viewing the largest gathering of PEZ Dispensers you will ever see anywhere ! Stay informed by reading and pass along by sharing, the links to our Newsletter. We will keep you pumped and excited about this year's event. Much more to come, boys and girls !!

Great Big Congratulations!!!

Pez Palz would like to Congratulate Aaron Lamay for being recognized as 
Pez Head of the Year at Pezcific Coast Convention. 
Great Honor for a Great Pez Head!


                                                                                          photos: Facebook
Bravo Aaron!!!

Aaron's comments to the Pez Community on Facebook- 
I would like to thank each and every Pezhead out there for my Pez Head of the Year Award. I was truly surprised by my supposed birthday trip to Pezcific Coast Convention by my wife and mother. I had no idea how this system even worked or anything. I have worked hard to help Pezheads and others anyway I can, but none of it would have worked with out participation from all of you all. The Pez Yearbook I think was a huge success and it was great seeing so many people these past few days with their own book getting them signed by others who they may have known before or have never met! The Yearbook would have never worked with out the participation of so many of you all. Additionally the Pez guide I have worked on especially with Gator has helped and continues to help so many people. I have always loved and will continue to work to better the community in any way I can. I am truly honored to be a part of not only one of the greatest collecting communities, but to be part of such a short list of greats who have helped out the community and continue to be a intricate part of one of the best collecting communities through out the world. I thank each and every one of you and look forward to meeting as many of you as possible. I will be at the North East Gathering in April and Pezmania in July. Come by and say Hello! Always remember that we are a diverse community, but have one thing in common and that is the love for PEZ! Happy Pezzing you all! Group HUG.                                                      -Aaron Lamay
