Hi Everyone,
Looking for that perfect present for the PEZ collecting woman? How about a set of PEZ earrings and a matching necklace? For only $20 you have your choice of 3 different sets. We have the “5 Cent Girl” www.pezpinz.com/5centset.jpg , the “PEZ Pony dispenser” set, www.pezpinz.com/ponyset.jpg or the “PEZ Elephant dispenser” set at www.pezpinz.com/elephantset.jpg . Don’t want or need earrings? How about just a PEZ necklace? We offer 12 different necklaces ranging in price from $3 to $10. The perfect necklace for Valentines day is our “I Love PEZ” featuring the PEZ Boy + Girl in a heart www.pezpinz.com/valneck.jpg $10 each and we also have a matching key chain for only $5.
If you are into pin collecting, we have our new 2009 “I Love PEZ” sticker remake heart pin www.pezpinz.com/images/100_5376.jpg at $10 each, with only 139 made. We still have some of our 2008 PEZ Valentine Puzzle pin at $15 each www.pezpinz.com/pink-val.jpg , this pin will be discontinued after Valentines Day if it doesn’t sell out first.
LAST CHANCE- Only a few sets left of the 2008 PEZ Holiday Ornaments left. We will not make any more, they were a onetime deal with PEZ. So I have to get rid of the remaining stock. They are marked down from $40 to only $30 now.
You can order at our web site www.PezheadStore.com and pay with a credit card (orders will be sent the next day) or send a check the old fashioned way.
Any questions, just ask..... Happy PEZZING, Richie

For those that don’t know, PCN is a 36 page publication which is published 6 times per year. We are the longest running and largest newsletter for PEZheads. We are starting our 14th year!

If you would like to subscribe you can send pay pal to sub@pezcollectorsnews.com or send a check/money order to: PCN PO Box 14956, Surfside Beach SC 29587
PEZ PINZ
The web site www.PezPinz.com has been updated with our new pins (Circus and PEZ n Pets designs) and some really cool looking new jewelry items. The new PEZ Sticker Remake pin sets are almost sold out. We only have 3 sets left. They are listed on the web site but I’m sure they wont last long.
For the real die hard pin collectors the COLOR VARIATION pins have been listed on eBay. Pin number 9 of 15 Raven Sticker Remake and Cat Sticker Remake color variations have been listed. You can find them by searching for eBay item numbers 200226040875 and 200226040477
PEZ Conventions
The date has been set for the 11th Annual Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering. April 2, 3 and 4th 2009 and we will be at the same hotel as last time-the Hilton Stamford. Details will be posted to the web site shortly.
The PEZ in the Sun (Myrtle Beach, SC) convention web site has been updated with the new group event information (Legends in Concert) and also links to all of the local places of interest. If you like theme parks, the Hard Rock Them Park is going to open next month. It is the first rock n roll theme park. Don’t forget about the new event which will take place at the convention, the PEZ Car Drag Races and the PEZ Car-Car Show.
PEZ Videos
You have to check out the footage that Collectors Quest took at the 9th Annual Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering. Its up on their web site and you can check it out here:
http://www.collectorsquest.com/videos/playlist/8.html
Every year, I take pictures at the convention. This year, we were too busy but a couple collectors came through with pictures for us, thank you guys… Ok, its easier to just go to www.Got-Pez.com you follow the links there to all of our pages. For those that want to go directly to pages, Pictures and video from the Northeast PEZ Con (and other conventions) have been posted to www.pezrocks.com . Pictures and video from the PEZ Car show have been posted to www.PezRacing.com .
A couple people have asked for an online PEZ dispenser checklist. It seems there isn’t one. So, I posted the checklist from the last issue of PEZ Collectors News to www.PezCandyDispenser.org for everyone to use. I know, a couple weeks too late for the NE PEZ Con, but better late than never.
Wendy The Snapple Lady
Wendy said to say Thank you to everyone that wrote Snapple. After we all wrote to Snapple, a Newsday (a NY paper) carried her story and the story was also mentioned on www.PezezHilton.com . There is a group on Facebook and even a blog about Wendy now! Time will tell what happens. Its really nice what everyone did. Thank you.
Thanks,
Happy PEZZING, Richie

Wendy the Snapple Lady gets Canned!
Hi Everyone,
Most PEZ collectors know that Wendy the Snapple Lady is a PEZ collector. Recently she was fired from Snapple. (see story below) I don’t know about you, but when I think of Snapple I think of Wendy. She is the face of Snapple products. As PEZheads, lets see if we can make a difference. All I am asking you for is a minute of your time. Please go to the Snapple web site (here is a quick link)http://www.econsumeraffairs.com/am_bev/contactus.htm?F1=snapple&F2=Snapple_Tea_Blendfill out the form and ask Snapple to bring Wendy back.Thank you….Here is the story from the “We love Wendy” group on Facebook.On March 5, 2008, Wendy "The Snapple Lady" Kaufman was invited to lunch by a VP of marketing for Cadbury Schweppes, the most recent owner of Snapple. He not only told her to pick the restaurant, but he also informed her that it'd be a fun and casual lunch. Unfortunately for Wendy, however, the meal would prove to be anything but. Just after she ordered, Wendy was told that her existing contract with Snapple had been terminated. They did give her another one at the meal, but it was a case of corporate posturing: they only wanted Wendy to sign it so she'd be tied up both personally and professionally for the rest of her life, for zero dollars. Obviously, this was an offer that she had to refuse. It was horrible, like getting served divorce papers after 18 years of marriage. No consideration of Wendy's history with the brand, no notice for Wendy and her family's sake, no severance package, no thanks for her years of loyalty to the brand or for loyal fans of the brand, no announcement to the public for her to say goodbye officially - nothing at all. Wendy was devastated. It wasn't so much that she was fired, but the meanspirited way in which she was discarded that stung so much. Feeling completely depressed, and having had no contact whatsoever with Snapple, Wendy had no idea how to handle the situation at hand. What was she supposed to say to all of the fans who approached her every day and said things like, "Hey, it's The Snapple Lady!" Last week, Fox News contacted Wendy to ask for a comment about Cadbury Schweppes' decision to make Dr. Pepper Snapple a publically traded company. You can imagine how shocked they were when the always bubbly and gregarious Wendy had no comment on the matter. But they were even more shocked when she told them why. That day, producers invited Wendy to appear on air to announce her firing from Snapple. Viewers were outraged and Fox's Neil Cavuto was so upset that he discussed it further on the following night's program. Would Snapple have experienced so much success without Wendy's presence? Probably not. But perhaps more importantly, will Snapple continue to experience success without its much-loved spokesperson? Not if legions of Wendy's fans have anything to do with it. Whether executives at Cadbury Schweppes like it or not, Wendy will always be The Snapple Lady

PEZ Pin collecting and PEZ PINZ for 2008
Well, if you don’t know, pin collecting is hot in our hobby. Recently a couple Limited Edition pins sold for $130+ dollars each. PEZ PINZ (licensed PEZ pins) are almost one year old now. We came out with about 8 different designs. The first 2 pins and our first Limited Edition pin set are sold out. Some of the designs were so nice, we recently turned them into key chains, ear rings and necklaces. We call those items PEZ PINZ Plus.
After listening to feedback from collectors and seeing what’s going on in the PEZ pin world. Here are our plans for the rest of 2008. In the June/July issue PEZ Collectors News (at the end of May for our web site) we will release 2 new pins. One will be a Circus design and the other will be PEZ n Pets design. No more gold or silver background variations. The pins will come on our numbered cards and ONLY 200 of each pin will be sold. For the ladies, we will offer those pin designs as necklaces also. Then in the August/September issue of PEZ Collectors News (end of July for web site) we will release another 2 pins. One will be a Halloween design (Mr. Ugly) and one will be a Holiday design (Santa). Again, only 200 pins, no variations. We will offer both designs as necklaces with matching ear rings for the Holiday design. We will also release an Elephant dispenser and Pony dispenser necklace and earring sets.
Now, this information is for the “real” die hard pin collectors. I really like old vintage advertising. So, I thought it would be cool to make collectible pins out of some old stickers. So, take a look at www.pezpinz.com/stickers.jpg for a look at the stickers we used. We will group the six pins, into 3 Limited Edition Collector sets. We will sell ONLY 50 sets with gold trim/backing and only 50 sets with black trim/backing. With only 50 sets they should sell out very quick.
Then, here is where it gets tough. It seems pin collectors like pins that have a low run. So we are having 15 pins made of the Raven sticker with a color variation of his beak and 15 Cat sticker pins made with his hat a different color. ONLY 15 PINS OF EACH WILL BE MADE/SOLD! To be fair they will be sold on eBay.
Due to the low release numbers of the Limited Edition sets we will set up a special PINZ email list. To sign up for the mailing list send an email to info@pezpinz.com with your email address. I think with the high interest in limited edition pins these pins will never make it to the PEZ PINZ web site.
All of the designs are now in the approval process with PEZ. Hopefully early May the first Limited Edition pin set will be ready for sale. So, if you are interested in pins drop us an email to info@pezpinz.com and get on our new PEZ PINZ email list

New PEZ Jewerly-how cool
Thats right. Some of the pin graphics were really nice that we have done. Then, I got the bright idea that a couple would look really good as charms or ear rings, so... I asked PEZ and got the license to do that! Now, they have been approved and should be in stock at the end of March. Want to take a sneak peek at them, go to our web site at www.Pezpinz.com and click on the slide show. Hope you like them as much as I do! Richie

Boy am I excited!
This blog is a good thing, at least I can tell someone my latest exciting news. If you check out www.PezPinz.com web site you will notice a little change. I changed the name to PEZ PINZ Plus. Well, the plus is because I'll be adding a couple new, exciting items to it. Can't tell you what they are yet. It's in the works, but the concept has been approved by PEZ and we are in the design stages right now. I hope to have the finshed product in hand, ready for sale before the April Northeast PEZ Con. I cant wait to tell you more about it....

During the PEZ in the Sun Myrtle Beach convention Iwas talking to another collector that told me aboutways to make the PEZ Pull n Go race cars go faster.

PEZ Convention-Myrtle Beach is over-had fun!
PEZ is such a fun thing, the hobby as a whole is fun. The people, the happenings. So, all I can say if you never been to a convention you have to. There are several around the US during the year. It seems to take forever for a convention to come, then once its here- it goes by in a flash. What I really like is being able to get together with our “PEZ friends” for a good time. Boy, it was a good time. I really don’t know where to start. The weather was good and there was plenty of sun, PEZ and the horses were back on the beach again this year.
Well, first I would like to thank all of the dealers for coming. You guys are the greatest and hopefully you took enough time off to enjoy the sights of Myrtle Beach! I also have to say a special thank you to Laura and Silvia for putting together a children’s scavenger hunt. The look on the little one’s faces while they were searching was priceless. Attendees- since you really don’t have to register to attend I don’t have exact attendance numbers but attendance was very good. Also I have to say a special thank you to Bubba, for two things. First for hooking us up with the Carolina Opry- we got a group rate and at least 30 attended the Christmas show. We had the best seats in the house and we got to see “Uncle Neild” trying to sing a Christmas Carol on stage. That was priceless. Talk about priceless, the Buzz during the convention was about Mary dressed as a Bee!
Bingo was very well attended and of course it had its highlights. We gave out the mini-golf tournament prizes and a special Limited Edition PEZ was given to Uncle Neild. We know you have a special place to put that PEZ dispenser! Talk about special- Bubba put together a “special b-day present” for me. (My B-day is August, but as he would say they do things slow down south.) He came up during bingo with a present, a gift wrapped can of beer, then he asked if anyone else had a present and 50 people came up with a gift wrapped beer. Really the thanks should go to Bubbtte (Mrs. Bubba) for wrapping all of the beers. Needless to say that was a big surprise and to see 50 people come up at the same time-priceless!
The real b-day people during the convention were Lindsay, Stephen and the Mayor of PEZville Red. Now, you know the convention is special to people when they make the convention part of their honeymoon. Missy + Carlos got married on Saturday, stopped at the convention before leaving for Mexico on their honeymoon. Now that’s dedication!
Every convention there seems to be someone somewhere getting a great deal. There was one room that had amazing prices. You could pick up a bag full of non-footed PEZ(good ones too) for almost nothing and they had tons of stuff to sell. When they were finally open, word spread like wildfire. People were running down the halls to get there!
The best part about a convention is talking to other collectors. I like Myrtle Beach because its slower pace than CT and we do get to talk. Well, that is good and bad. I was talking to one person and he told me about how you can make a Pull + Go car go faster. Hmm, Myrtle Beach is in Nascar Country and it got me to thinking. Those that know me know that it can be dangerous when I think! There are so many Car Guys at the Myrtle Beach convention, next year we will have a Pull and Go Car races during the convention. Late last night I went into the garage, opened up a few B-Day presents and took apart one of the cars. (ok, to tell you the truth I was testing the cars as soon as I got home from the convention) All of the Car Guys I spoke with were just as excited about the races as I was. Don’t worry Guys, I’ll get the rules and classes together next week. I have to get the newsletter off to the printer first.
Thanks again to all that attended! Hope you had a good time, Mary and I did! Hope to see ya all next time!
Happy PEZZING, Richie
Well, first I would like to thank all of the dealers for coming. You guys are the greatest and hopefully you took enough time off to enjoy the sights of Myrtle Beach! I also have to say a special thank you to Laura and Silvia for putting together a children’s scavenger hunt. The look on the little one’s faces while they were searching was priceless. Attendees- since you really don’t have to register to attend I don’t have exact attendance numbers but attendance was very good. Also I have to say a special thank you to Bubba, for two things. First for hooking us up with the Carolina Opry- we got a group rate and at least 30 attended the Christmas show. We had the best seats in the house and we got to see “Uncle Neild” trying to sing a Christmas Carol on stage. That was priceless. Talk about priceless, the Buzz during the convention was about Mary dressed as a Bee!
Bingo was very well attended and of course it had its highlights. We gave out the mini-golf tournament prizes and a special Limited Edition PEZ was given to Uncle Neild. We know you have a special place to put that PEZ dispenser! Talk about special- Bubba put together a “special b-day present” for me. (My B-day is August, but as he would say they do things slow down south.) He came up during bingo with a present, a gift wrapped can of beer, then he asked if anyone else had a present and 50 people came up with a gift wrapped beer. Really the thanks should go to Bubbtte (Mrs. Bubba) for wrapping all of the beers. Needless to say that was a big surprise and to see 50 people come up at the same time-priceless!

PEZ, what else? Who am I?
Hi there, if your reading this, then you either have nothing to do or you collect PEZ. I hope you collect PEZ like I do. I started to collect PEZ around 1990. I really dont know how many pez are in my collection, too many I guess! I have been publishing PEZ Collectors News www.PezCollectorsNews.com for about the past 13 years and we have about 1500 subscrbers. I recently started www.Myspace4Pezheads.com thats a cool online place for pezheads. check it out. Most recently I obtained the license to make PEZ licensed pins. You know, like the convention pins. I want to make a collectible that will increase in value. You can check them out at www.PezPinz.com . Oh, and if thats not enough I started the Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering in Stamford CT 10 years ago and I also host the PEZ in the Sun gathering in Myrtle Beach, in November-which is in a couple days. For info on one of those conventions go to www.PezGathering.com . Ok, time to go back to work... Bye 4 now
