The Pez Collectors Store would like to wish everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year! 2011 is sure to bring us new pez dispensers and will even bring new pez candy flavors. We have a few new additions to the Pez Collectors Store and we have more to look forward to in 2011. We gave you a sneak preview in July and have more information to add to the pez expected in 2011 that we can share as we begin the year!

The Stewart’s Ice Cream Hauler and Bottom Dollar Food Hauler promotional advertising pez have arrived in the Pez Collectors Store! PEZ Candy, Inc. has been very busy this past year getting various store chains to purchase these exclusive dispensers!  Most of the stores have been chains on the East coast which makes it difficult for those of us that don’t have these stores in our area. The Pez Collectors Store has worked hard to acquire these dispensers and make them available to all collectors!

These two new promotional pez have joined the other 2010 releases including Wawa, Food Lion, 2011 Red CVS, Wegmans with Tomatoes,  and red GetGo Haulers. We still also have the 2010 White CVS, blue GetGo, Ace Hardware, Hollywood Video, Movie Gallery, Winn Dixie,  and Sheetz Hauler Pez as well.

The Promotional Pez Haulers won’t end here – there is a Price Chopper Hauler Pez scheduled for release in March and we are working already to make arrangements to get one. We are not sure what the logo will look like, but we expect something like their corporate logo.

The scheduled Pez releases for 2011 are exciting! Europe will be releasing the Mr. Men Pez, probably sometime this month. These will be the click-n-play style and will include Mr. Strong, Mr. Bump, Mr. Rude, Little Miss Sunshine and Mr. Happy. These are really cute and should be available soon! The Pez Collectors Store order is placed, we just have to wait for them to be released in Europe then make their way across to the USA!

The Boston Red Sox mascot “Wally” logo Pez is also scheduled for release in February, along with a new Dodgers logo.

We are also still waiting to see the new SL Cardinals logo and the new New York Mets logos which were also planned as 2010 releases.

Thomas and Friends Toby train #7 Pez will be released as part of the Thomas the Train set in February, but we expect these will be mixed with Thomas, James and Percy in the sets. Gordon and Henry are supposed to be available only in the Gift Tin sets, but we will have to wait and see if they are included in the Thomas and Friends releases.
