PEZ PUZZLE

This is one of those games where you try and find all the differences between two illustrations that, at first glance appear to be the same. How many differences are there in the characters in the top picture...the original Cornwall Pez Museum DISNEY SET, and the bottom picture... as set which, I just found out was supposed to be out last year.

This is also a PEZ WATCH for this new Mickey set. They look kinda like the EXTREME DISNEY set without the extreme expressions and accessories.
For your interest the other DISNEY SETS in the Cornwall Collection are shown below.

Some of the sets have kind'of been in moth balls since the parlor remodel started. It was time to get them out, in new settings into the light of a Pez-i-lisious day.

PEZ MUVIE MOVE

FYI - the PEZ MUVIE DOCUMENTARY has be located at the very first post of this blog (March 07) for ease of finding. In case anyone is interested.

PEZ WATCH

For Valentines 2008 PEZ is issuing new CRYSTAL HEARTS - RED & PINK. The Crystal Hearts will have the same 13 sayings as past years.

I found this new picture today (1/19) that is kinda fun because it shows all 26 new ones.

Below is the list of Valentine Hearts in the current CORNWALL collection. What we are looking to add is 1 Red Crystal Heart and 1 Pink Crystal Heart with one of the five sayings (at the bottom of the list) that we do NOT already have.

Currently in the Cornwall Valentine Family.

BIRTHDAY PEZ

The lucky 18 year old got the BEE MOVIE set.
And she got the GOLDEN COMPASS set.
Two great additions to the Cornwall PEZ museum to closeout 2007.

PEZ WATCH

Keep your Nascar eyes peeled for a new DAYTONA 500 issue. We need the individual and the kit with the companion hauler truck.

And don't forget, we still have not found the two that came out last summer - JIMMY JOHNSON and DALE EARNHARDT JR.

This one should be easier to find out Christmas shopping. The ARCTIC BABY REINDEER joins the ARCTIC BABY series which came out last Christmas. The reindeer will join the POLAR BEAR, SEAL, and PENGUIN.
(Hint - Last year Mom found them at Wal-mart)

A PEZ BREW

In honor of Miss Paisley Cornwall's birthday number 2 she gets 2 PEZ. Number 1 was sent to her in wrapping paper (with a load of PEZ candy to dispense). She can share about that if she wants to.

Number 2 PEZ is a CLEAR CRYSTAL WITCH "C" - donated to the Cornwall PEZ Museum in Honor of Paisley's 2nd birthday.

The Clear Crystal Witch joins her Witch "C" sisters, Yellow Face, standard Green Face, Glow-in-the-dark, and Black Face

She also joins her CLEAR CRYSTAL cousins, the SLIMY, HAPPY & SPOOKY GHOSTS, SKULL "B" and PUMPKIN "C".

ANY ONE FIND ANY NEW PEZ LATELY????

Yummy PEZ

The other day Mom and Dad were walking through Toys-R-Us (looking for Halloween accessories) and Dad mentioned he was surprised that no one had found the new Mulan & Pocahontas PEZ as they should have been out for some time. Mom suggested, "Why don't you look on that forum that told us where we could find the Easter PEZ last spring?" So today I logged in and this is the first entry that came up stating where this collector had finally found them.

I posted it for a SWEET memory for all of us New England travelers last December.
p.s. Many other entries said that these Disney Princesses had finally hit the Wal Mart in their town. None noted any much west of the Mississippi.

In another forum chain dozens mentioned BEE MOVIE PEZ in Wal Mart all across the country. So Keep a look out.

BOO! FOR HALLOWEEN

The new additions to the Cornwall PEZ Museum HALLOWEEN section are 1) MR. UGLY - This is part of an old Halloween set first issued in about 1970. 2) BLUE CRYSTAL PUMPKIN - This is a special limited release earlier this year (from CCC).

They look good as part of our HALLOWEEN family don't they?

Also joining the HALLOWEEN family is CLEAR CRYSTAL SKULL with jewel eyes.
He joins his brothers - the SKULL; the GLOW-IN-THE-DARK SKULL and "DIABLO"/BLACK HEAD SKULL.
Oh yeah, will these boys have fun on Halloween night!

NEW/OLD MICKEY

I have bid on this unique Mickey set recently. I haven't been too aggressive. They appear to be a NEW set to commemorate 80 years. They are probably from Europe and a few e-bay sellers are offering them quite regularly. I will keep you posted.

A GRAND SALE

Here is an esPEZcially nice way to make over a thousand bucks all at once.

Most of the above in my experience usually sale for $40 - $50 each. The really rare/expensive ones above are the far right - CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON ($350 - $500) and the second from the right (it is hard to see) a little full body HIPPO. I've never seen one of those before. It is recorded to sale for $550 - $1000 all by itself.
p.s. These are definitely outside the Cornwall budget. We did not attempt to bid in fact the Cornwall Collection possesses only ONE of the above shown.

PEZ WATCH

The next two Disney Princesses are (reportedly) ONLY available in the set with all the other previously issued D.P.s. The latest to join the PEZ gang are POCAHANTAS & MULAN ... in the pic above they are the two in the middle

Here is a little better picture (added 9/20).

PEZ WATCH

THE BEE MOVIE

Look for these new characters coming out soon. They will include BARRY (Jerry Seinfeld), 2 of his friends and VANESSA a florist (Renee Zellweger).

Remember we are still looking for the 2 new NASCAR and the 2 new COLLEGE FOOTBALLS

ELIVS IS IN THE BUILDING!

You know the old story of "pearls in your own backyard".... There was none of the special edition Elvis PEZ to found searching for weeks from the Pacific to the Atlantic until Dad stopped in the new Walgreens on the corner of Lake and Orange Grove in Pasadena a few blocks from his office last Friday on the way home from work.

YES! SNOW WHITE

Snow White has joined her princess friends in the Cornwall Collection. She was found at a 99 cent store in La Puente.

LOL PEZ
