MERRY PEZ-MAS EVE
Since the 12 days of Pez-Mas was so fun , maybe we could start a new run...
THE 12 DAYS OF HAPPY PEZ-YEAR!
Instead of Santa bringing a PEZ to each stocking on the 25th we could post one (or one set) per day for the next 12 days after Christmas thru New Years and beyond.

12th DAY OF PEZ-MAS

I give to SARAH -
who I truly love is still at home with Mom and me...
A CRYSTAL CLEAR CLEAR SANTA "D"
This is not to be confused with the special Target edition issued in 2008 (see 3rd Day of Pez-mas) which has a red cap. This is a very rare, special, special edition for a rare, special, special girl.

And so ends our 12 days of PEZ-MAS with jolly Santa. I guess we did start a day or so early. But who wants to think about Pez-mas on CHRISTMAS EVE or CHRISTMAS DAY? There are much more fun things on which to focus then (for some people).

PEZ WATCH - 11/08

A NEW PEZ FRONTIER
Look for Star Trek The Original Series promoted to come out September/October. It's an eight dispensers gift set of the original crew - Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov + The Star Ship Enterprise NCC-1701. The Enterprise will be unique for Pez as it depicts a ’scene’ (a Pez first), where you see the ship emerging from a nebula cloud The set will have a limited run of only 250,000. Word is they are slated for Walmart & Target stores - one forum mentioned it was found in Bed Bath & Beyond (use a discount coupon).

Remember we are still looking for PEZ WATCH 08 #s 10, 9, 8, & 7

OCC PEZ - FYI

An unusual PEZ set came out a few years ago - ORANGE COUNTY CHOPPERS. Other than Betsy Ross, Daniel Boone and Paul Revere issued in 1976 as part of a bicentennial set, this is a rare issue of an actual person(s) and the first (and only to date) of a living person(s). Some may have wondered who these characters are and why they were "honored" by PEZ. Orange County Choppers Inc. is in upstate New York and featured on a regular T.V. show American Chopper which debuted in 1999 on the Discovery Channel. It is a reality T.V. program in which custom motorcycles are designed and built. The show has recently made it's way in rerun on local channels.

You can go here to see a slide show of the PEZ theme bike which is on display at the PEZ U.S. factory. http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/occ/offairtheme.html - click on the "PEZ chopper".
The Orange County Choppers Gift Set was "limited" to 250,000 or 300,000 and features the stars of the show: Paul Sr., Paul Jr., and Mikey. This set is part of the Cornwall Collection as shown toward the end of the video "How It All Began".

With PEZ dropping the "no real persons" rule, OCC opened the doors for any number of "real life" dispensers--rock stars (ELVIS), actors, politicians, etc... Many feel OCC will always be one of the oddest sets ever issued by PEZ. But hey, that's one way to get a $100,000 motorcycle in your front lobby.

RAH! RAH! COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Issued for the 2008 college football season are two new PEZ - VIRGINIA TECH and NORTH CAROLINA. (Now there are a couple of big college football teams aren't they?) Being the great college football fan that he is... nothing gets in the way of Grandpa getting to the weekly BYU game... it seemed fitting to have Grandpa receive these for his birthday and per family tradition immediately donate them back to the collection.
There are two appropriate reasons for Grandpa to receive the VT & NC PEZ today: 1) Virgina Tech and North Carolina play each other tomorrow/Saturday; and 2) There is a BYU connection... now follow this path... Virgina Tech and North Carolina are both in the ACC and play U of Virginia. U of Virginia played USC for the first game of the season. USC plays UCLA the last game of the season. UCLA got wolloped by BYU last Saturday. So you see... the BYU fan Grandpa deserves thePEZ today, the day between the day of his actual birthday and the day that VT & NC actually play.
And Mom thought it was silly to give Grandpa PEZ for one of his birthday gifts.

These join the current collection to give us a full dozen in the series.
p.s. Borrowed photo

PEZ WATCH 10/08

This is new for 2008 - WASHINGTON football PEZ. The latest in the college football series. Word is that it is ONLY available in Washington State. Now let's see, who do we have that is handy to that northwestern most continental state?
p.s. The background photo is of the blocked PAT at the end of the 9/06/08 game. May be the closest BYU comes to loosing a game all year!?!

PEZ WATCH 9/08

Madagascar- Escape 2 Africa
Hopefully we won't have to do as much running around to find MELMAN and SKIPPER as we did to find the original MADAGASCAR gang. (Remember they were only in movie theater refreshment stands... in Long Beach!). I expect these will be out around the release of the movie set for Nov. 7.

p.s. The new FAIRIES series (see PEZ WATCH post of April 4 & June 25, 2008) is issued with 2 tutu colors - WHITE & PURPLE. The Cornwall Collection needs both don't you think?

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

Arrrr you ready for Pez??

I came across these at Rite Aid while we were getting some "Meds" for Marybeth. I was surprised to call dad corn to find out that he hadn't found them yet. So I did not hesitate to pick these up. They are really cool.

BATTY BIRTHDAY

2008 BATMAN SERIES
This may seem, to some, to be a very unusual contribution to the PEZ Museum in honor of KATIE'S BIRTHDAY. Certainly Katie is NOT into the Dark Knight and has not seen any of the movies. Yet this IS the week that the new BATMAN is released... which is a looked forward to event by a number of individuals associated with the Cornwall Museum. So, now is the most appropriate time to add the 2008 BATMAN series to the collection

Batmen currently in the
CORNWALL MUSEUM

A new Addition to the collection

We went to iParty today to get some stuff for Caitlin for a YSA trip that she is taking, and there they were. I have done this sort of thing before and dad has beat me too it but I am hoping that that is not the case this time but we were excited when we saw it.

KUNG FU BIRTHDAY

An appropriate donation is made in honor of Jeff's birthday to the Cornwall PEZ museum of KUNG FU PANDA series. Mom, Dad, the girls and Jeffrey all went to see the movie on Jeff's recent visit to 336.

PEZ WATCH - 7/08


This is a fun new pair
but they are a European release only. They are available on e-bay but with the movie being such a hit I would expect WALL-E & EVE to be in the US eventually. ( We don't want to do another SHREK.)
If you want to see a 360 view of WALL-E click here.

PEZ WATCH - 6/08


Two new NASCAR PEZ are just released.
DALE EARNHARDT JR. & CARL EDWARDS
DALE EARNHARDT was just released last year (on a red stem - see post of July 3, 2007). But that wiley Dale soon changed sponsorship to the 'National Guard' and 'Hendricks Motorsports' which are now printed on his black with special silver visor helmet.
CARL EDWARDS is new for 2008 - black stem, 'Office Depot' on the helmet.
After we got the Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson 2007 releases on Ebay they were seen and could have been obtained retail at Walmart. So keep your eyes out .
