Thanks for the heads up on these, very rare when a major company puts out a bitcoin themed product.  Never want to miss out.

  Indeed it is!  I only wish they wouldve put a head with a mysterious mask to represent Satoshi!

  Was thinking of creating a custom PEZ with my trademark logo as a head...I think it would look pretty damn cool...better than just a BTC logo  ;)

Yes I agree, the Bitcoin logo as iconic as it is now looks a bit basic on that,
the anonymous satoshi mask would have been brilliant as well as incorporating
the Bitcoin logo and they are well able o do it!

This is a great release though, great to see them doing something Bitcoin related and
something different for the Bitcoin collector.

Here's an article on this product. They say there will only be 30,000 and that the scarcity mirrors bitcoins. I probably would have gone with 21,000...

    LOL....this post made me laugh.....Thats exactly one of the reasons I bought this Pez.....cause they will go great alongside my Tictac ones as well.

   I also bought a few years back a chocolate theme Bitcoin candy...so they will go perfectly with all my edible Bitcoin related part of my collection ;)

   Well it looks like you are a PEZ collector...you should watch this doc/movie I just saw a few weeks back called THE PEZ OUTLAW

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17660740/

     Its about the PEZ collecting world and this one guy who made a fortune. Never knew how far people were willing to pay for these items until I saw this movie....which kinda got me to buy the Bitcoin themed PEZ to start with. ;)

I’m not really a collector of anything these days and I’m trying to be more of a minimalist, but I’ve always been fond of PEZ. I’ll admit I considered buying some of these but at $30 a piece I think they’re a bit out of my price range for candy. Still a great find though.

PEZ always reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with the piano player and the intervention. Great writing…

   Neither did I ...this movie was an eye opener. It was educational and fun to watch what this guy did. I was rooting for him all the time.

   Now I just need to find some of the very rare pez dispensers on the internet somehwere!  :D

        I don't really want you to leave disappointed from our end, I cannot promise you the date but it will be in stock on Walmart.com, as I have forwarded the request to fulfilment department with the referenced picture that you provided

    Once they email me will let you guys know as well....right after I buy them all!!   :D  ;)

Where's the multicolored ones? Pez outlaw buy them all already? :P

So I saw some pictures of the new Bitcoin Pez commissioned by Prosnacktive sales and it had the different colors instead of the orange pez sold on Walmart.

   I wrote to ask them if they also sold them with the multicolored version and was told

  "" PEZ accidentally produced a few with the wrong candy. There were a few multicolored candy variations that Bitcoin Magazine has, from pre production, but nothing in circulation other than orange.""

    So what did they do??  Since they saw I was an avid collector of Bitcoin Pez dispensers, they sent me an missing Pez  with just candy and a multicolored rarity as well!! See the pics below!

    That was an amazing gesture and I thank them for doing so!!

     The missing Pez one is one of a kind and the multi colored pez were made by error, very few in existence!

That’s pretty awesome. I’m sure they’ll be getting quite a few messages now. :)
I think having the all orange pez is actually pretty awesome. I hadn’t even thought of it like an orange pill. Someone over there was really using their creativity instead of just slapping a Bitcoin logo on a product and selling it. Very cool indeed.

    Indeed....these are cool and will hopefully be a part of my collection for a very long time.

    I hope someday they will make the head of Satoshi Nakamoto....that would be an excellent addition to my collection as well.!

That’s a shame to hear. I agree with you as well. If these were selling for $2-$3 I think you could expect to get bent products, but for $30? That’s a pretty massive markup to not take precautions to make sure they arrive safely. They’re obviously marking it up because they know collectors will be buying them. I wonder if they’re available in store to pick out yourself.

From what I understand, these are only available exclusively @ Wal-Mart.com, at least that's what the folks at the Pez Factory told me in person.  I went in person to check and inquire since the factory is only a few mins away.  If any of you are Pez collectors and the factory is too far away, reach out to me if you need something from there.

They fit almost perfectly... very slight bend in the top corners due to the card being just a touch more square/rectangle versus the roundness of the protective case. I was not able to photograph this.

   According to the tracking....mine should arrive today! Will take some pics with all 5 items inside their respective protective sleeves.

   Will be much better than not having any for sure!

  Protective covers arrived! Like Miner Jones mentioned in a previous post, I did have an issue with the top end slightly bending but only with one case.


   I experimented with the way I inserted them and noticed if I inserted head first then the back I had no issues at all....the first is slightly tight on the top though, but the rest are snuggled nice inside their case.
