Hey guys, it's been confirmed that they plan to release Bullseye. They Also say they have no plans to add slink to the collection, but I'm hoping that changes.

I hope they release a Wheezy.....although is he going to be back for Toy Story 3? I wonder if they'll make a Prospector Stinky Pete...I know he's not part of the new movie due to his arrangement ending in Toy Story 2 but I always thought Stinky Pete didn't get that much of merchandise besides being a Mcdonalds Happy Meal Toy

and where's Zurg?

Speaking of Zurg and that realm....not to get off topic but...

I hope they release a dvd season set or somethingn of the Buzz Lightyear Animated series (besides the launch movie that has been out for a while)since apparently the time if they were going to do it with 101 Dalmations, Little Mermaid, or Aladdin, Jungle Cubs has apparently ran out for the time being unless they change their mind....and be totally random....

Wheezy is back for TS3. Doubt he'll make it into the line though. especially if Slink doesnt make it. Same with Zurg.

Though I'm half expecting a new Zurg that is in scale and decent enough. like the less expensive versions of Buzz and Woody out now.

I'm fully expecting Stinky Pete, just so they can have the whole round up gang.

Great news there about Bullseye! I guess I can add the Disney Store's Slink back to my "get" list. When can we expect to find Potato Head and Jessie? And Hamm?

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get my RC after all. What I had was a 50 dollar American Express gift card that was given to us at work as a Christmas bonus. Well, when I tried to get RC on ToysRUs.com for 49.99 (free shipping), I didn't realize there would still be taxes added, so it was a bit over. That meant I'd have to use my Paypal account to pay the extra. Well, I just couldn't find a way to pay with the gift card period, let alone combining it with a few bucks from my Paypal. I tried it several times, but it never worked, and in the end, Paypal somehow and for some reason deducted a dollar from my gift card! Ha. What a pain in the butt. Unfortunately, right now there are no RCs left at Toys R Us locally, and I don't know if that 49.99 price is only temporary, but I think it was. I thought Saturday was supposed to be the last day (haven't checked). Guess RC is going to have to wait a while for me yet.

^^^ sorry to hear about that, that sucks.

Good news about Bullseye though! Not so great bout Slinky =/

I, too, would love a Prospector, hopefully with Kelsey Grammer's voice!

And an authentic, proper-scale Zurg (even if it isn't one that comes with the CoA) would be totally awesome.
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.

Yeah, I tried messing with it a bit more, and I ended up getting charged 2 more dollars. I'm just going to try and use the gift card on Amazon now, and try to get the Looney Tunes Gold Collection (first one) with it, as I've been meaning to get it forever.

Anywho, man, I definitely want a proper-scale Zurg and a good Prospector would be great too. Don't know if I'd get them if they're not the COA versions though. Are they already planning the end of the line then? I only wonder since they seem to know what they are and are not going to release...

So the Bucket O Soldiers with the CoA seems to be more common in my area. I went to Target and I checked out the Toy Story toys and they had a bunch of CoA Buckets... and they were on sale for $9.99 too!

I had the same problem with a Visa gift card a few months ago, turns out you had to register the card on the website listed on the back before you could use it online. Perhaps AE gift cards are the same?

I don't think so, as I was eventually able to use it on Amazon.com, but I had to just use it on DVDs. Finally got my Looney Tunes Golden collections though. The first 2, anyway (and Kim Possible Stitch in Time). I STILL need my Toy Story Collection R/C, and now I think I'll HAVE to get him online. No one in town has him. Broke right now though.

I've only ever seen the Toy Story Collection Rex at the Disney Store. There's always Amazon.com and the net in general though.

I dont have a Disney store near by, just an outlet store, meaning they only get the crap real disney stores get overstocked with. they didn't have anything from the collection. And the prices Ive seen online have been outrageous. Amazon had a decent deal before the holidays, but I didn't have money then.

The Disney Store price is probably the worst, but that's where I got Rex. I had the same problem with RC about the Amazon deal. I just barely missed out on it. Anyway, right now I'm focused on getting a Ty Theodore (Chipmunks Squeakquel) beanie, then I'll get back to landing an RC. I wonder, when the heck are the other Toy Story toys coming out? I mean, where's Potato Head?

I just got RC off Ebay! Woohoo! Now I've got 'em all, when he arrives anyway. Any word on the second wave?

Someone on another forum found what appears to be prototypes of some of the wave 2 toys.

Oh, man, those are awesome! Guess that's two more old toys I need to get rid of, after I have the new ones in hand of course.

I'll probably skip the utility belt Buzz there, since I really don't have space for extra things like that, and I'd have to call him an extra. Then again, I did kinda want another Buzz to have in the spaceship box, so we'll see, but it won't be a rush purchase for me by any means. I wonder when these will come out and what the deal is with Potato Head and Hamm. Sure am glad I finally completed the first wave now. *phew*

I feel the same about utility belt Buzz. If I get him it'll only be if hes the last toy keeping me from owning the complete collection. I already have the 90s buzz in the space ship so I don't really need him for that. but if too many more toys come out in this collection that I couldn't care less about for some reason I might not ever get him. I'll be getting the rest so far.

By the way, Bullseye apparently has a skeletal system to help him stand. And talks, unsurprisingly.

As for the others, its already been revealed in an email response from thinkway that both Hamm and Mr P will be in the same wave as these guys. so at the latest we should see them by late June.

I kinda wish they wouldnt have gone through with another buzz, at least not before Stinky Pete. Lets finish off the round up gang before moving on to new versions of already released characters. There better be a wave 3 or have Stinky pete added to this one is all I have to say.

Those Wave 2 toys look FANTASTIC!! Bullseye looks amazing. The website those were posted on says May is the release date. I personally though am more attached to the original gang so I may skip on Bullseye and Jessie. Although if they release Stinky Pete I just may find it impossible to resisit having the full Round-Up Gang!

Although I find it extremely lame they are doing a second Buzz. I wish they focused on new toys. I'd much rather have Zurg. I'm for sure passing on the second Buzz. Really, as long as Potato Head and Hamm come out in Wave 2 I'm good.

I still am very fond of the Wave 1 toys and they are among my favorite Disney things so far! Can't wait for Wave 2.

Great info, thanks. :) Interesting about Bullseye having that skeleton. The Bullseye I have also has one. He's actually pretty decent, but glaring flaws on mine are the parts that should be hard plastic, like his hooves and eyes.

I can't wait either, but at the same time, I could use some time to earn some extra money for them. I was a bit bad this week and need to replenish my savings too, so I can relocate this summer to Austin. I spent 100 bucks on Ebay towards getting RC to complete this collection and getting two other toys I've been collecting lately. Got the last TY Chipmunk I needed, Theodore (until they come out with the other two Chipettes, and they had better!), and I've been building a very special classic Pooh collection, trying to pick out plushes that actually look antique-ish but at the same time have hints of the Disney version. Just added Rabbit to my collection. I've been chasing down this version for a while: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT I have great ones of Tigger, Piglet, and Pooh already, but I still need Eeyore, Kanga with Roo, and Owl. I have an Eeyore selected, but I'm waiting for him to come up for auction when I have cash, and Kanga/Roo and Owl will be harder to fulfill.

Bullseye and Jessie look awesome! Buzz is cool too, hopefully he'll at least be a little different from the already-released one, other than just having the belt. (Like maybe new phrases or something).

Not sure how I feel about Bullseye having a skeletal system. On the one hand it would be coll to have him stand up on his own, but on the other hand I think I'd prefer it to be a little more movie-accurate by having him be floppy like Woody and Jessie.

I'm looking forward to Hamm and Mr. Potato Head the most though!
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.
