In today’s world of social media, collectors are usually used to seeing the newest PEZ releases almost instantly — often before they are even officially announced 😊
Exclusive First Look! The Rare Al Kabli Saudi Arabia PEZ Puck
But this discovery was completely different.
Purely by coincidence, we came across a PEZ dispenser that almost nobody in the collecting world even knew existed… despite the fact that it is already nearly five years old!
And honestly… we could hardly believe our eyes 😮
Perhaps you still remember that last September we exclusively reported that PEZ International had created two special PEZ lamb cards for the Al Kabli company in Saudi Arabia to celebrate the Eid Ad’ha Mubarak festival.
While searching for those special lamb dispensers for our own collections, we got in contact with friends in Saudi Arabia — and suddenly discovered something completely unknown to the PEZ community.
The Al Kabli company imports and distributes PEZ products in Saudi Arabia.
Back in 2016, the company celebrated its 50th anniversary, and for this special occasion, PEZ International created an extremely limited promotional PEZ puck.
The super rare anniversary dispenser features:
🟢 Green stem
🟠 Special company logo print
🟠 Foundation year and 50th anniversary marking
Only 2000 pieces were produced worldwide.
The special release also came on a unique PEZ card featuring the Al Kabli company logo and the signature of company owner Dr. Kabli.
Because of the extreme rarity and the difficulty of obtaining one, this advertising PEZ puck could potentially someday reach price levels similar to the famous Hard Rock promotional PEZ pucks.
Unfortunately, this rare promotional release will probably never find its way into many collector collections.
But the moment we discovered it, we immediately knew we absolutely had to introduce this fascinating piece of PEZ history to all of you 😊
Some harder-to-find PEZ promotional advertising pucks from the past were also included in the pictorial.
Huge thanks to momopez.com for the pictures!
Happy Collecting!
