Question
Hi I have  a  Thomas the train pez dispenser but it is in toy story box I was wondering if it is worth anything and if it is rare  I don't collect them I just  bought it cause I saw it like that

Answer
Hi Jessica,
Back-in-the-day... something like this was a rarity, and many collectors started adding them to their collections when they could find them...  usually at a range of $5-$10 each.

Unfortunately, these days it is a very common find, and not so special anymore.  You can find them all over the place.
Most of the ones that I've seen sell lately usually have a special meaning to the buyer,,, such as Darth Vader on a Hello Kitty card, or something of that nature.

You never know if a Toy Story collector or someone with a Thomas Train collection may be interested in such a thing?
or if a PEZ collector has similar interests, and simply 'must have' this combo,,, so to speak.

Thanks for writing,
-Dale
