NEW ACQUISITIONS - CHRISTMAS

Santa made 2011 a very Merry PEZ-mas...

CLONE WARS -
YODA & CLONE TROOPER

These were a secret Santa gift to Mom Cornwall. They are part of an 8 piece set that came out in 2009 with only 3 of the 8 being new. The Cornwall collection already has the 3 new (Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan Kenobi cartoon) characters from the movie. These are a repeat of characters already on display in the Star Wars section of the Cornwall Collection.

LORD OF THE RINGS
This collectors set was given to Sarah for her love for all things LOR. It is the special edition with the Eye Of Sauron piece (instead of Bilbo Baggins)

WAL-MART RIGS/HAULERS
This 2011 truck set features the evolution of Wal-Mart logos --- 1964-1980, 1981-1991, 1992-2007, and 2008-Present. There was a lot of moving for the Cornwalls in 2011 so ... 1 Rig went to Sarah (for moving to the Riv), 1 went to Rachel (for moving to Brazil), 1 went to Jeffery (for moving to accommodations on the east side of town), and 1 goes to Reesa (for moving Jeff), 1 went to Katie/Dallin (for moving to California), 1 went to Robb/Marybeth (for moving to Boston) and 2 go to Jason/Stef (for moving to a storage unit in MO., then finally to their new home in Grain Valley).
RITE AID HAULER
Even tho' this is rig is labeled "2010" it is added to the collection at this time (as it went on clearance in 2011).
PULL & GO CARS
Magnetic, detachable cars go to Jarom - who loves "CARS". The 3 character set just came out with the 3rd piece for Christmas.

LIGHTNING McQUEEN
The main character from CARS 2 completes the 2011 set. It is given to DadCorn for getting a hot new car in 2011. (Note: The other two shown above were previously donated to the collection.)
PEZ SUNGLASSES
These cool, junior shades go to the cool, little guy Bennett. Mom Cornwall found these at a grocery store in Hillsboro, Oregon several months ago.
WINX
These European fairies with special magical powers go to Rachel, our international traveler.
Bloom (blue striped shirt) is strong and caring, she is always available to help her friends.
Stella (blond hair) is a talkative and helps is needed.
Flora

RAPUNZEL - from Tangled
This newest Disney princess goes to Paisely - who loves all things princess.

This first-ever "bust" super hero set goes to Jeffrey, who (usually) loves all things superhero.
WINTER (2010) PLUSH PEZ
This set was issued for Christmas 2010 (and pick-ed for half price the day-after-Christmas 2010). These were given to each one of the four Cornwalls who graced 336 for Christmas 2011.
Click-n-Play WINNIE THE POOH & FRIENDS
This 2011 European issued set was in Robb's stocking, so it goes to Robb/Marybeth as one of the rarest PEZ added to the collection in this Christmas bunch.
HELLO KITTY SKULLS
This set goes to Elizabeth - who loves Hello Kitty. The set includes (from left to right) Hello Kitty glittery crystal head with a skull in the pink and black bow, Hello Kitty glittery crystal head with a purple bow on a purple stem, Hello Kitty with a Polka-dot Pink bow on a pink stem, and Hello Kitty with a Skull in black bow on a black stem.
TOBY

This little train piece goes to Seth, who was the caboose baby of the Cornwall clan in 2011, a cute happy little guy, just like Toby.
CHICAGO LAND & PHOENIX SPEEDWAYS
NASCAR
These latest race car helmets go to Jason (for racing back and forth for nearly the whole year between McPherson and Independence) and to Dallin (for starting his racing around the world in his MBA program).
VALENTINE - CUDDLE CUBS
These key chain PEZ were issued for Valentines Day 2011 and go to Katie and Stefanie for their extra cuddles, hugs and snuggles they did in 2011 while their kid's daddy's were traveling.
