LOL Surprise Series 2 12 count carded pez are in stock now. The LOL Surprise dolls are a mystery pez release. They come with an opaque blue plastic cover, printed with a ?, that hides the head so you don't know which of the 9 dolls you are getting. There are three different dolls and each one has 3 different variations - Stylin' is presumably most common, Special is presumably less common and Super is thought to be the really hard to find version of each of the dolls. We have no idea which of the dolls or which variation - Stylin', Special or Super you will receive - this is a random counter display box as packaged by Pez Candy and the counter display box is included! We have had a customer report that they opened the pez in a 12 count counter display from us and received all 9 different dolls!

Something special at Aldi for Christmas? Our sneaky spies discovered this tag on a shipment showing a special inventory part number and label were produced for Christmas Aldi pez blister card cases. We don’t know what will be different – it could be the pez are packaged with more or less candy than ordinary Christmas Pez Blister cards, or the cards could be different and have the Aldi logo, or there could be a special dispenser that is exclusive to Aldi, or the mix could be somewhat different (for example, more or fewer Santa pez in the assortment) or it could mean nothing at all other than Aldi will have Christmas pez. Obviously, we are hoping for a unique dispenser! Likely these will begin appearing shortly after the Halloween candy disappears and we look forward to discovering what the difference is for Aldi Christmas Pez!

Last month, we shared the information provided to us by a Funko Sales rep that ‘Funko reports that they “will be moving away from PEZ in the near future.”’ Funko CEO Brian Mariotti has since indicated that this is not the case and that there will be more POP! PEZ in the future. No specifics were provided and nothing new has been made available for retailers such as ourselves through the February offerings, but we certainly hope that there will be more available for general release in the future, rather than just exclusives available only through limited sources. Meanwhile, GameStop Exclusive Dragonball Z are being found in a boxed sets.  Dragonball Z Perfect Cell and Mecha Frieza have been spotted (photo shared by collector Missy Kish Farina).

The 2021 Sweets and Snacks Expo has moved from May in Chicago to June 22 - 24, 2021 in Indianapolis, opening just before the Michigan Pez Convention scheduled June 24 - 26, 2021. The move from Chicago’s McCormick Place was the result of “careful consideration and close examination of all options given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and regional differences across the country when it comes to public events,” the Association reports. As of October 2020, the city of Chicago is still under coronavirus restrictions and is not permitting trade shows. It is expected that the show will return to Chicago in 2022. All things being COVID dependent, we hope to attend the Sweets and Snacks Expo for a few days prior to heading to Michigan for the 2021 Convention!
