When a PEZ dispenser disappears from the supermarket shelf, it’s easy to shrug it off. But when it vanishes from two major supermarket in the country… that’s a plot twist.  In this special episode of Get Dispensed: The Pez Podcast, Greg dives into the surprising decision by Coles and Woolworths to stop stocking PEZ — a move that’s left collectors, families, and candy lovers across Australia asking one big question: what now?  Joining the conversation is Steve Natsis from Universal Candy, the official PEZ distributor in Australia, who lifts the lid on what really happened behind the scenes. From shelf economics and retail realities to freight challenges and rising costs, this episode explores the business decisions that pushed PEZ out of the weekly shop.  But this isn’t a farewell episode — far from it.  You’ll also hear where PEZ is still thriving, how collectors can support its future in Australia, and why the global PEZ community might play a bigger role than ever before. There’s even a sweet (and slightly mysterious) update on the missing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set… yes, we’re looking at you, Donatello 🐢  This episode is part reality check, part rally cry — and a reminder that while PEZ may be off the shelves, it’s far from gone.  So whether you’re a lifelong collector or someone who just loved tossing a dispenser into the trolley… this one’s for you.  Because PEZ isn’t just candy. It’s community. And this community isn’t going anywhere. 🍬

Through long-distance charity cycling rides, Michael has raised funds for childhood cancer research, dedicating each ride to a child and spreading joy along the way.  Joining the conversation is legendary collector Larry Mason — the current Pezhead of the Year and the first recipient of the Phenomenal Pezhead Award. Larry talks about the special Pez-inspired creations he makes for the children Michael rides for, and how the Pez community continues to rally together in remarkable ways.  This episode is a reminder that sometimes the smallest things — a plastic dispenser and a piece of candy — can travel a very long road and carry a lot of heart.  🍬 In this episode:  How Michael accidentally became a serious Pez collector  The story behind MrMcPez  Turning charity cycling into a mission for kids with cancer  The role of the Pez community in supporting families  Larry Mason’s custom Pez creations for the children Michael rides for  Holy grail dispensers and dream Pez designs  The Rapid-Fire Round and Question of the Week  Because sometimes Pez doesn’t just dispense candy… it dispenses kindness.  So load up your favourite dispenser and join Greg for another sweet adventure in the world of Pez collecting.  Stay sweet, Pez Posse! 🍬

What if Superman had a PEZ dispenser… in the 1960s?  In this episode of Get Dispensed: The Pez Podcast, Greg “The Downunder Pez Hunter” uncovers one of the most fascinating near-misses in PEZ history.  After a brief appearance on Netflix’s King of Collectables (Season 3, Episode 2), a deeper story emerges. In the mid-1960s, PEZ came remarkably close to releasing a Superman dispenser. Vending boxes were designed. Advertising sheets were printed. Prototypes were made.  And then, everything stopped.  Drawing on original advertising material, collector discoveries, and decades of misidentified prototypes, Greg explores how twelve Superman PEZ dispensers almost entered the world, why the project was likely cancelled, and how a handful of these rare pieces quietly survived for decades under the wrong names.  Today, only four are confirmed to exist.  Where are the others?  This episode is part detective story, part pop culture history, and part collector legend. It’s a reminder that PEZ isn’t just candy. It’s a record of what mattered, what nearly mattered, and what slipped through the cracks.  And sometimes, the most interesting stories aren’t about what was released…  but what almost was.
