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.

Exclusive First Look: IT'SUGAR exclusively MARILYN MONROE PEZ...

OMG PEZ PALZ!

today we have something PEZtacular to share with you!

Do you remember when we first saw the exclusive 

Elvis Presley PEZ on the great designed PEZ Card from IT'SUGAR 

back in December 2018.

The slightly modified Elvis dispensers were re-released and 

had been only available at IT'SUGAR (see our original story here).

When the first It's sugar’s department store opened 

in East Rutherford, NJ last winter

with over 10 000 types of candy and an amazing selection of PEZ,

each of us was overwhelmed by the shared pictures of the opening.

Well, this wonderful collaboration between IT'Sugar and PEZ Candy Inc.

is coming to a higher level

and we are so excited and in love, we can give you the exclusive

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

Take a deep breath...

here it is... here she is...

THE ONE AND ONLY

MARILYN MONROE PEZ dispenser! (USA only)

Thank you IT'SUGAR for the pictures ;D

The new Marilyn Monroe will be available exclusively 

at IT'SUGAR and will be available 

online to purchase (here) on IT'SUGAR website next Tuesday.

She definatley will have a special place in our collections

and we would be happy about further collaborations beetween

 IT'SUGAR and PEZ Candy Inc. in the future :)

Happy Collecting and stay safe!

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.

New Daphne has a purple stem.

New Fred has a white stem.

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?

Auction (not affiliated with PEZPALZ blog)

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

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)
