Are you ready to step back into the past? We saw the three variants of the Hasbro Transformers Pez candy dispensers back during SDCC 2015 - but we also a sighting of Megatron, Optimus and Bumblebee shooting sweets in your mouth from fellow Seibertronian Bronzewolf who found all of the dispensers in a store (no further information) in Denver, Colorado, for $1.99. Proof of Optimus below!

Am I the only one who thinks that Pez tastes horrible? Maybe they should put in candy that actually tastes good, rather than putting bad candy into novelty dispensers...

Im 38 years old and never ate pez in my life. Is it really that bad tasting ? And if I lived in Denver, I could think of something better to buy than pez.

Compared to truly horrible candy like Candy Corn or those Valentine's Day hearts, Pez are filet mignon.

Thanks for the heads up, the one near me had all these things as well! Been looking forward to the Metal Earth kits since Toy Fair.

no problem. the sets are awesome. after i put prime together i went out and bought megatron, soundwave, the millennium falcon, the tie fighter, vaders tie fighter, the x-wing, the destroyer, and i'm probably going to go out and pick up the AT-AT and maybe another destroyer or two.

also.. AC moore almost always has 50% off coupons on their site, so always check there. getting these for $6 is fantastic.

click on "coupons" and it'll let you select which one. i just go there while i'm in the store and have them scan my phone rather than printing them out.

Well that's not exactly shooting for the moon

Admittedly, I haven't touched actual pez candy since I was a kid. Maybe they've changed the formula since then. But I remember it having a strong mediciney taste, AND after-taste. Looking back, I wonder at it. The candies are just flavored sugar pellets - compressed Kool-aid. It shouldn't have been possible for them to do it 'wrong', but somehow they DID.

i absolutely LOVED the taste of pez.. i'm sure i'd still enjoy it.

The Metal Earth kits are great. The only problem they have is the parts break when folded excessively
