How start your collection, from what age and what is the first PEZ dispenser in your collection?

Back when I was 16 or 17 (1996 or 97) I earned my first paycheck, the first thing I bought was a garfield pez, then ordered the entire set from the order sheet that came with the Pez I bought. My father was called Odie where he worked so I thought I would get him Odie.

How many years collect PEZ?

16 or 17 years now. Yikes…

How many PEZ Dispensers have in the collection?

At last count it was 1190, but it is much higher now, I think in the 1600+ range.

You collects only PEZ Dispensers or all products of PEZ Candy Inc.?

I only collect dispensers but not because of lack of room. Dispensers interest me the most, however recently I have been much more interested in pez packaging from anywhere other than the USA.

What PEZ Dispenser is the favourite of your collection?

My newly acquired Ringmaster that my husband got me for the 34th birthday. Before this one my Nurse & Doctor sets. My favorite currents are my beloved Skull & Hello Kitty tubes from Austria.

You have a maximum value of money to give for a PEZ?

$405 as of today.. That number might go up in the future.

Where you buy PEZ?

All over, I go all over looking Oregon & Washington looking for Pez. The local Pez dealer Billy Galaxy, Craigslist, Facebook, Flea Markets, Estate Sales, & the dreaded eBay.

What is the maximum amount you offered for a PEZ dispenser? 

$405

Do you think PEZ Candy Inc. could be more innovative in some PEZ Dispensers repeated characters?

I think it is very complicated what Pez does. I am happy with Pez Inc..

What PEZ dispenser that does not exist and that you want PEZ Candy Inc, to manufacture one day?

Ring Pop shaped Pez heads.

Can you spend a day without thinking about PEZ?

Not really, like every 10 seconds they cross my mind.

What advice would give a new PEZ collector?

Buy in Bulk, trade when you can, buy unwanted collections, find a Pez pal from another county and fully commit to them that you will trade every few months. I just recently met my trading partner & he is AMAZING! He has turned out to be my best friend. :-)

In addition to PEZ, collect anything else? What? 

Signs & Bookends.

Thanks Kristian! :-)
