I wouldn't count on a Toy Story Collection Slinky Dog =/ And I dunno if they'd make a Wheezy. Seems like a good Disney Store thing (like the Hamm bank), it shouldn't be too difficult, I mean it's just a squeaky penguin :P

Speaking of a good Disney Store item, I think a Bo Peep lamp would be a really great idea too! I dunno how well it would sell though, since she's not in the third movie. But that's why I think it would make a good Disney Store collector's item.

And here's the ideal next wave of Toy Story Collection toys for me:
-Zurg with accurate box, Andrew Stanton's voice, and Zurg vision (if possible)
-Stinky Pete in the Roundup box with Kelsey Grammer's voice and pick axe
-Mrs. Potato Head. This one's really a no-brainer since she plays a big part in the 3rd movie and it would only take a few mods of Mr. Potato Head. Ideally I'd like her to have an option of her having only 1 eye since that's how she was in most of the movie
-Trixie in the same kind of box that Rex came in (or I'd settle for a non-TSC Trixie toy as long as she's in-scale)

And that's really it for the Toy Story Collection. I can't really think of any other toys that they could make a TSC version of. Maybe Sparks since they could've done more with him (the non-TSC Thinkway version is great though).

They need to make an in-scale Stretch toy. She wouldn't have to (and shouldn't) be sticky, but stretchy would be good. Disney Store could easily carry some in-scale plushes of Buttercup, Mr. Pricklepants, Dolly, and the peas in a pod (I've never seen any of those so forgive me if they DO make them lol).
But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what.

Well, my Woody is officially possessed. Every once in a while, he likes to burst out, "Ha-ha, boy, am I glad to see you." No person or thing is touching him or his pullstring. He's still in his box. Maybe this is his way of getting out. He did it once a while back but much more so now that I freed Lotso. Or maybe he's warning me that Lotso isn't quite as warm and cuddly as he seems. Either way, I kind of feel like Sid at the end of <i>Toy Story</i>. At least he's not using my name or anything. Yet.

Can someone tell me which of the squeeze aliens would be correct to have in my collection? I was at Target and they had three different version sold for $9.99 that glow in the dark. I know of the Toy Story Collection version, but I wasn't sure which is the most true to the move that is widely available now. Thanks.

The one with the cloud background is older, and the white background is newer. I don't know whether or not that effects the value or anything though.

So you know what I think would've been a cool feature they could've added to Mr. Potato Head to make him more worth the ~$50? If he had different phrases depending on what parts were on him. Like, if you took out one or both of his ears he'd make comments about how he couldn't hear. Or if you took off his nose he'd talk in a stuffy voice. Oh well.

thanks for that. :)

that would have been a kool potato head feature. if you mixed his face up he could say "im picasso!" and others. wonder how hard that would have been to do?

Honestly I think it's all personal preference. The one with his arms stretched has that "Ooooooo" face which is classic, but the just-plain-standing-there one is nice too. I think either of those are the most "accurate" to the movie.

But you should just get the TSC three-pack and get the certificate and that way you'd have one of each.

This size is my main concern, the Target ones look incredibly huge, or maybe it's just my imagination. Anyone have any pics that compare contrast all the aliens to the other toys?

They are virtually identicle sculpt wise. the only difference is the glow in the dark stuff they sprayed on it, the darker blue areas, and they are slightly softer according to some people. the singles are more accurate for the darker blue alone, but its really up to you. like I said, the sculpts are identical.

I got Bullseye from eBay! It came out to $70.83 including shipping and the seller is in the same state.

Actually I asked her what store she got it at and it was one of the two Toys R Us's that I frequently check. Supposedly she got two the day Toy Story 3 came out and paid $59.99 for each. Has anyone else had to pay that much? I mean it'd make sense due to Bullseye's size. So anyway, if I put tax in, that means I only paid about 6 bucks more than if I got it at the store and that more than covers the gas I'd be spending to keep going back and forth to Toys R Us looking for him! lol

It was shipped yesterday and I should get it tomorrow or Saturday. I'm hoping for tomorrow! I'll take a group picture of all the TSC toys (plus Slinky Dog, Disney Store Hamm, and Burger King Lenny... minus Lotso) when I get it!

It is 49.99 at my Toys R Us. But anyway, congrats rexcrk! I know you desperately wanted Bullseye so I think that makes him very worth it. $70 is a VERY good price getting it off ebay. :D

Not to be weird or anything, but I consider the Toy Story 3 Playtime Sheriff Woody (the one I own) better than the Toy Story Collection Woody. Sure, the other one is more interactive, but I think I prefer my Woody's lost hat antics better. And the TSC one has twice as much sayings, but I was watching a video review on Youtube, and his voice sounded weird, not very close to Tom Hanks. I admit, the spurs on his boots and the rotatable holster are decent, but I like mine better. I also think that my Woody's face is a teensy bit better. I feel so nitpickity... Just wanted to throw that out there. Though I admit, I'm still kind of peeved that the Playtime Woody has two holes in his hat. That's something that bothers me.

Hehe I wouldn't say "desperately"... well maybe xD I dunno, he's just the last of the Collection that I needed (until Thinkway makes more-- hopefully >_>) and it was getting annoying never finding him haha.

On a different note: what do I have to do to get Buzz to gasp for breath when I open his helmet? Seriously he NEVER does that phrase. He always says "Everything looks a little bigger with the helmet open" or "Hey hey hey! That's against regulation!" or something besides gasping for air. I've heard it maybe once :lol:

LMAO. And here I am ANNOYED at the fact that him gasping for breath is his first phrase every time I open his helmet. :lol:

The Woody comparison was between good and bad pics.

Here's a "better" representation of the TSC Woody. I did alter some of the stitching on the vest, moved the badge over, and cleaned up his "toy-ness".

And heres an LED installed in the buddy pack Bookworm (sculpt is pretty accurate)

Whats the Toy Story stuff like in your guys neck of the woods? Here in Savannah GA, most stores stock looks like crap, none seem to be restocking anythng. I have never seen the Pricklepants 6" wave (obtained one in IL) and I have yet to see TRU stock up on Bullseye here.
The target closest to me has ZERO TS3 stuff in stock, thanks to star wars.

Sad to see it all go, and I thought this was just getting started. Has anyone word on wave 3 TSC by emailing thinkway?

What about clearance? Anyone having any clearance luck? I went looking for those $12 TSC Lotsos and found nothing, as stated. Didnt want him, but would for $12. (every part of him is wrong)

I think the last TS toy I'll get is the 12" Sparks. Dont want TSC Jessie, (may in a couple months) and dont want Bullseye, but I would get either on clearance (dont want to spend $50 on something I only partially want).

Oh. Thanks for the clarification. But I think I still prefer mine. How did you get him to cross his arms?
