Summer is well under way and the pez just keep coming in hot! Pez conventions are happening just about once a month, so there is always a chance to get together with fellow collectors. It is such a pleasure to share time with people who understand your love of these silly little plastic toys and who share your joy with each new find! There are plenty of new pez to be found this month!
The fourth of July will be here soon and to celebrate, Pez has re-released the exclusive Flag with Fireworks on a Glitter Crystal Ball Pez, and this year it comes on a white stem. In 2024, the Flag Pez with Fireworks in the background on a glitter crystal ball, but it was on a red stem. The same Crystal Ball Flag with Fireworks was released on a blue stem with the PAMP Suisse 4th of July Silver Pez set in 2024. We have both the Red and new White stem USA Flag Pez in stock in the Pez Collectors Store!
The 2025 Ace Hardware Retro Logo Hauler Truck Rig Promotional Pez is in stock in the Pez Collectors Store! This new truck has an interesting logo. It uses the retro style from 1968 – 1973 featuring the name ACE Hardware in a large white trapezoid over red wings, over which the nose of a white plane silhouette flies, with the rest of the plane over a green triangle sitting just below the red wings. The wings hark back to the origin of the ACE name which was based on the WWI pilots nicknamed Ace. This new Ace Hardware pez dispenser comes mint on card pez candies.
The Abt Pez Promotional trucks are also in stock! Abt is an Appliance and Electronics Store, started by David and Jewel Abt in 1936 in Chicago.
