Amazon.com Hands-On Review

The LEGO Toy Story 3 Train Chase set lets you join Buzz, Woodie, Rex, and the entire gang on a Wild West train adventure. This 23-inch train features a delightful, cartoony aesthetic, making it an ideal first train for younger kids. It also comes with minifigures of Buzz, Woody, Bullseye, and other popular characters, allowing kids to reenact scenes from the movie. With 584 pieces and a unique modular design, this set will provide a healthy challenge for younger builders.

Buildable, Interactive Toy Train
Measuring 23 inches in length, the train features four different cars: a steam engine, a box car, a passenger car, and - of course - a caboose. Each car has been detailed with an impressive level of detail - from the red cowcatcher grille in front to the translucent windows on the caboose. Kids will enjoy playing with each individual car, linking them together, and rearranging their order. While the train doesn't feature a motor, it can easily be rolled around by hand.

There are plenty of additional features to keep the toy interesting. Our 11-year-old tester especially appreciated some of the more interactive parts of the set - like the opening side doors, trap door ceilings, and rolling wheels. These features make the train not only a fun building project, but also a fun toy in its own right.

Reenact Scenes from Toy Story 3
Featuring Toy Story-themed minifigures, this set gives kids everything they need to reenact the exhilarating train chase scene from Toy Story 3. The set includes minifigures of Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, Bullseye the Horse, Rex, and Dr. Porkchop. Builders can take up the role of Woody, as he races to rescue the captive Rex from the Evil Dr. Porkchop. Kids can either choose to follow the movie's narrative, or invent their very own story. An Easy, Engaging Build
With 584 pieces, the Desert Destruction set will provide an intermediate challenge for younger kids. It took our tester (an accomplished LEGO builder) about two and a half hours to fully assemble. In addition to the more traditional blocks and sticks, the set includes various embellishing pieces that help make the train look more realistic.

The set comes with a colorful, step-by-step instruction manual to assist you in building. Or, if you're not interested in building the pre-designed train, you can use the many hinges, blocks, and embellishing pieces to build your own, unique creation.

What's in the Box
584 lego pieces and an instruction booklet.

Toy Story 3 - Is This the Movie That All Merchandisers Have Been Waiting For?

Toy Story 3 - Is This the Movie That All Merchandisers Have Been Waiting For?


So what have Pixar done this time that will please an ever growing audience of Toy Story movie fans and also the many, many companies who produce merchandise that fills our departments stores? Well there are a few new characters such as Rex, an endlessly worrying and insecure dinosaur or Twitch, an awesome half man half insect action figure.This will enhance the product ranges of many merchandising companies and enable more products to be generated by the increase in demand once the film is launched.Action toys are a good example of this as each comes individually packaged and allows for a collection to be built.Will Toy Story 3 capture the imagination third time around? This is a definite yes, as already many product manufacturers remember the huge demand for Toy Story 1 and 2 merchandise.It helps that there are still the big name stars behind the new version, Tom Hanks as Sheriff Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear and now Michael Keaton as Ken, not forgetting Whoopi Goldberg as Stretch.If that does not do it then perhaps the fact that the new film will be released in 3-D may get the audiences flocking to the cinema to see how many of the characters have adapted to this format.Can Toy Story 3 top Avatar as the biggest grossing film of all time? Avatar managed to gross over $2.7bn in 2009 and with Titanic way behind on just over $1.8bn in number two position it will be interesting to see if Toy Story 3 is able to capture a bigger audience in 2010.Disney and Pixar have been slowly releasing more trailers and established promotions with companies such as Lego and Mattel as the launch draws nearer.Only recently Steve jobs of Apple showed a demo of Apple's new iPhone OS 4 using an iAd for the new Toy Story 3 movie, which gives the new film a premium promoter.All this promotion is sure to get shoppers turning out in their thousands to get their hands on the latest toys, video games and many other forms of merchandise.With the credit crunch not long behind us, it was surprising to see the popularity and expense paid out after the Avatar launch, it it just goes to show that even in times where money may be harder to find, we still manage to make sure our little ones have those latest toys and games that are brought about by new movies such as Toy Story 3.

      Toy Story 3 LEGO 2010 Review - Set 7596 Trash Compactor Escape

      Toy Story 3 LEGO 2010 Review - Set 7596 Trash Compactor Escape


      With Lego acquiring the license for Pixar's highly popular characters in 2009, the first films to be adapted into brick form are the endearing cast of the Toy Story movies.One of the sets released to accompany Toy Story 3's June 2010 release date covers one of the more dramatic scenes from that movie, and quite a spoiler if you haven't yet seen the film.In the film Lotso, the huggable pink teddy bear, starts off as a friendly guide for the cast as they are accidentally exiled to the Sunnyside Daycare Center.Somewhere along the way however, he turns against them and Lego set 7596, known as Trash Compactor Escape, shows his not-so-friendly side.At 370 pieces this set features five mini-figures and a conveyor belt/trash compacter play set.Although the five mini-figures have all been featured in previous Toy Story sets, and include Woody, Lotso, Hamm and two green aliens, the detailing is slightly different.Like another of the Toy Story 3 Lego sets, Garbage Truck Getaway, all of the figures here are scuffed up and feature dirty patches on their faces/torsos and legs.The play set itself takes up most of the piece count and includes a fully functioning crane claw, dumpster, and conveyor belt.Unfortunately there are stickers with this set and considering other Toy Story sets have printed pieces it is a strange decision to not include them here.Sticker complaints aside there are a few rare or new pieces in the play set, mainly in the construction of the crane.The other parts of the play set, the conveyor belt and the compactor are all fully functional and together with the crane and the range of figures, means young kids will get hours of play out of the set but older kids may get bored after a while.Priced at $49.95 it is again a high price per piece set but that seems to be standard for 2010 Lego sets.Overall, a great set for fans of the series, collectors who are after the rarer figures and pieces and new fans of Lego.
