Anyone got a Bob The Builder?


This week the family spent a bit of time at the Alameda County Fair. Always a good time. I really go for the horse racing, which is actually a whole lot of fun. We were walking through some of the display areas and came across a bunch of "collection" displays. There were some pretty cool ones (campaign buttons, antannae balls, old bottles) and also some just straight up lame ones (hot sauces you can still buy at any store? wow. Bobby Crosby memorabilia? what a waste.) So, it got me thinking about my super cool PEZ collection which has been seriously neglected the last year or five. I want to get them all in order and finish out a few of the sets I am still short on. That way I will be ready to maybe show them off at next years fair. So here are some of my awesome PEZ. Enjoy!The whole collection...so far.

The "American Chopper" team; Paul Sr., Paul Jr. and Mikey.

I really like this Pink Panther set. The Ant is great.

Gotta show the Simpsons.

Rarely seen PEZ body parts; Robin Hood, Knight, and Cavalry Scout.

This is my favorite set. They are from a European comic called "Asterix".

I got these Nintendo Pez outta Japan, then they released them in the states. Oh well.

The Daffy Duck on the left is from the 70's. The Mickey Mouse is old too.

SO before you go throwing away those old/empty PEZ dispensers, send them my way, and they may end up winning a blue ribbon. Also, I gotta plug the Pez museum in Burlingame, it is awesome, and that is where I get my stands.
