Happy Halloween! We hope you’re having a frightfully good day and will enjoy the many new pez that have arrived over the past month and more to come this month! A few October surprise pez have come out and you never know what surprises await us in the coming months, but we will give sneak previews when possible!
A Crystal Halloween pumpkin pez was released as a limited edition of 1000 dispensers for the USA and 1000 for Pez International. Pez USA sold out very quickly and Pez International is also sold out. Hopefully everyone was able to get one of these cute Crystal Pumpkin pez!
TA Petro Promotional Truck Pez are in stock now. This 2020 pez release features the TA, Petro and TA Express logos on the side of the trucks.
2020 Wawa Promotional Truck Pez are on the way to us now. This year’s truck features the Wawa logo, a white Wawa goose and white snowflakes on a red background on a truck with a red trailer and cab.
The VW PEZ Delivery Tin is a collectible tin featuring a VW Delivery Van with the Pez Girl and Candy Delivery printed on the side. It comes with an exclusive Aqua Pez Pal Boy and 42 rolls Pez Candy. The tin is a great pez collectible but for those who prefer to just have the exclusive dispenser, we also offer the Aqua Pez Pal by itself, loose and ready to display.
The 2020 European Bride and groom back in stock. The redhead bride has an updated hairdo and veil, and the groom had no hatband. The Pez Pal mold has smaller nose for both the bride and groom. These are available loose and ready to display!
We have just a few sets of the USA Oktoberfest Pez pair mint on USA blister cards. These were limited to 1000 for release in the USA and in Europe and they sold out very quickly in the USA.
European Oktoberfest Pez will be back in stock shortly. The shipment is on its way and we expect to receive them within a week or two. The Pez candy brick mascots are dressed as Oktoberfest boy and girl pair. Hans is wearing Bavarian lederhosen and Resi wears a dirndl in a classic Oktoberfest style! The pair comes loose and ready to display!
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!
We will also have the dolls available in polybags and will sell them as guaranteed sets of 3 different dolls. They should be in stock soon!
The Gingerbread Man pez was released last year only in tubes, but he is available now in polybag! This super cute Gingerbread man is in stock now in the Pez Collectors Store!
A PAMP Suisse Gingerbread Man Pez with Silver Pez Candy Bricks is coming soon! This is the third Silver Pez boxed set released, and the silver candy bricks will feature the Gingerbread man. This limited edition of only 3000 Pez Gingerbread Man with 6 pez candies made with 5 grams of silver comes in a boxed set and is available now through the Pez Collectors Store. The front of the 5-gram Pez Candy features the weight and purity of the bar, sandwiched between the letters P.A.M.P and a Gingerbread Man on the front. The back of the Silver Pez Candy bricks displays the iconic PEZ logo. The silver candies are in a plastic box with the PEZ logo on the lid of the box. Each box has a certificate of authenticity. We will have these in stock just as soon as they are available.
Blues Clues twin packs with Blue and Magenta are finally shipping to us now! We expect to have them in stock by Wednesday or Thursday!
A new 1:24 scale M2 Machines VW Beetle Diecast Car has been released. This cute red and pink Deluxe Beetle features the Pez Boy and Girl and the words Lil’ Pez Head on the roof and sides of the car. This limited edition M2 Machine is in stock now in the Pez Collectors Store.
A handy checklist for M2 Machines was created by Morgan Rhinehart! M2 has been really busy cranking out the PEZ licensed cars and trucks these past few years! Great job Morgan!!!
Election day in the USA is just a few days away. While tension has been high through the campaign cycle, Political Poopers are a great way to add some fun to the mix and to commemorate a historic election. Wind up these dispensers to see Donald Trump and Joe Biden Political Poopers walk and poop candy treats! Every Party needs a pooper and this election provides us with options as well as strong opinions!
44 Cats Pez are on the way from Europe and are expected to arrive within a week or so. This set of 3, Lampo, Meatball and Milady, will be available in the Pez Collectors Store just as soon as possible. The pez will be loose and ready to display!
Mandalorian and the Child pez twin packs have been out for a while now and the Child, aka Baby Yoda is super cute on a mini stem. Baby Yodas are now being found on full size stems as well! We will get these in stock just as soon as possible!
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!
European Masha and the Bear are due to be released in January and our order is placed! We look forward to adding these fun Russian characters!
In January the 2021 European Mickey and Minnie pez will be released. This set is different than the new Mickey and Minnie scheduled for release in the USA. All 4 have printed stems and the 2 Minnie pez have a sailors cap with a flower. These will be in stock just as soon as possible!
We are anxiously waiting for our shipment from Funko for the Operation Game Cavity Sam, Red Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robot and Mr. Monopoly – Rich Uncle Pennybags POP! PEZ. We will have them in stock just as soon as possible!
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!
That’s all the news for this month! Happy Pezzing!
All the best,
Chris Jordan
