KEEP ON TRUCKIN'

There are 36 PEZ in the "D" truck series - 4 different style cabs - 4 different color cabs - 2 different color stems (3 for the yellow cab). The chart above has a check mark by the units which have been in the Cornwall collection for some time. The reasoning was that to have 1 each of the 4 different style cabs in each of the 4 colors (=16 + 2 more which we happened to have) would be representative of the series, thinking that stem color variations were not that significant. (And this saved a lot of display space.) That reasoning has been trucked down the road.

Today a source was found for the last 3 (the R1 yellow cab/blue stem was a tuffie) to complete the entire 36 series. They came from 4 different e-bay sources for a few cents to a few bucks. We were lucky that most were being sold in groups over the past few months with others we needed. We did end up with 4 repeats.

We will post a photo spread of the entire truck line when they all roll in. (Plus some surprises.)
p.s. I did NOT make the truck chart, but is sure was handy to keep track of the Comings and Goings - oh yeah, that's the other blog.

NF Super-Hero Fam.

Wonder Woman joined the collection. This older "vintage" version has the feature referred to as the "raised star" in her headband
in addition to the no-feet (NF)


Spiderman NF also quickly came on board.
He is a smaller "small head" Spidey.
And now gives the collection a nice little Spiderman clan.

Incredible . . .

The INCREDIBLE HULK "A" joined the collection recently. Before close examination one could easily think that the dark green Hulk A was from the same mold as lime green Hulk B, just with no-feet (NF). Not so! The museum now houses the whole family of Hulks A - C.
The Cornwall Collection already has a Batman (NF) to be a friend to Hulk (NF). Soon we will have to have some other NF Superheros join the series - I am thinking of Wonder Woman and Spiderman.

The Mark of....

Robb mentioned a ZORRO Pez being added to the collection in honor of his birthday. No one has seen it until now.
What is really cool and unusual in that it says "Zorro" on the side. (Normally a PEZ says "PEZ" in Pez font on both sides.)

This was obtained on a lucky ebay bid. No one happened to be going for it so it sold for about half price for what they usually go for.

College Football

Ol' Jeffrey comes through for Robb's Birthday with the 3rd (of 8) of the football series. This adds to the Florida State Gators Jeff sent for Christmas and the U. of F. Seminoles Dad got for his birthday. Jeff seems to be our only source for these. I don't think we have 5 more birthdays before Jeff gets home tho'. Word is that Pez is also coming out with 2 more - Ohio and Notre Dame later this year.

My first post

I just wanted to make my first official post on this blog, I don't know how much I will be able to post but I will try my very best. But it sure is fun to be part of 2 very fun blogs, I hope we can continue to grow.
