What's your name, where are you from?
My name is Andreas Lindell, from Krylbo, Sweden. Born in 1979.
How it was born this passion? When and why did you start collecting? You remember your first PEZ dispenser?
My brother-in-law (Henrik Svensson aka. HenkePEZ) collected PEZ and every time I paid him a visit I got more and more interested. I started my collection back in June 2009, a couple of months before my 30th birthday. My first PEZ was the whole Monsters vs. Alien-set. Of course, I had some dispensers as a kid, but I don’t remember which ones.
HenkePEZ is only collecting MGM’s now a days. I bought a bunch of his PEZ collection when I started.
How many PEZ dispensers you have?
That depends on how I count ;) But I think I have between 1300-1500 dispensers.
Which is your favourite PEZ dispenser?
Hard to pick just one but my absolute favourite among the newer ones is THE DUCK, from FinnPEZ2014. Amazing! Great PEZ!

How did your family and friends react to your hobby and your collection?
I have a very understanding and supporting wife. Every single friend and family member are searching PEZ when they are abroad. I’m lucky that they are so involved.
Do you have some rules for collecting? You collects only PEZ dispensers or any PEZ products?
I “try” to collect loose dispensers only, but I have a lot of carded ones and other PEZ products as well. So, I have to admit that I collect anything from PEZ.
Where do you buy them? You sell too?
From eBay and fellow pezheads, in stores, at gatherings etc. I don’t have any extras to sell or trade at the moment. I try not to buy anything I already have.
Generally, you have a maximum value of money to give for a PEZ dispenser? (optional)
No, not really. That depends on condition and size of my wallet at that time.
What is the maximum amount you offered for a PEZ object? (optional)
Hmmm, I might have paid too much once. Or twice ;) But I’m not crazy and buy stuff over my limits. I have other things in life that always comes before PEZ (family and health for example).
How can you manage the various dispensers that come out only in some countries?
The only thing I use Facebook for is PEZ (I’m not even friend with my mother on Facebook). I try to buy or trade from fellow pezheads. The ones I missed during the year I usually pick up at gatherings.
Of the PEZ dispensers that already exist and you do not have, which would you like to have?
Olympic Snowman. I’m a sports freak. If someone wants to give me one for free, please go ahead. I will not stop you ;)
Which characters would you like to be made as a PEZ dispenser?
The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Super Bowl-winning teams, Robocop.
Do you think PEZ factory could be more innovative in some dispensers? Why?
Well, I’m not a fan of click ‘n play-dispensers. But I don’t have any new ideas. I think it’s important to keep innovate new PEZ stuff.
How do you store them? The dust, is a problem to you?
I have one smaller display (with glass doors) that shows the variety of PEZ. Everything else is packed down in plastic bags, in plastic boxes, stored in my future pezroom? My wife doesn’t agree ;)

Do you have any project related to the hobbies?
I’m arranging group travels for Swedish collectors to gatherings outside Sweden. We have been to FinnPEZ twice, and next year we will add VIP to the list.
There is currently a lot of desire in social networks, that PEZ Candy in the USA, could be more participatory in the Conventions/Gatherings, as happens in Europe, Middle East or now in Asia. How do you see this situation?
That would be great! They are so welcome!
What advice would give to a new PEZ collector?
Buy a larger lot on eBay or, even better, from another collector. And go to a gathering! You will make friends for life!
In addition to PEZ, collect anything else? What?
No, but when I was younger I collected bear cans. My father collects toy cars so I have collecting in my blood.
Can you spend a day without thinking in PEZ?
No, impossible since I have Facebook in my phone ;) I see PEZ PEZ PEZ in my feed.
Thanks Andreas! :-)
