I never saw any of the Toy Story films so know nothing about the source material, but I like that the dump truck build is 6+ and thus not juniorized, despite using a tipper bucket mould that was later adapted into something similar but for 4+ sets. My custom dump truck using the 4+ part from 10734, for example, has influences from this one.

Strange, isn't Lotso classified as a bigfig? It's missing from the minifigs list.

Chunk is the only one considered a minifigure from this set. Why isn't Lotso, at least?

I heard somewhere once that they presented Lotso in this set simply as "a new friend", to avoid spoiling the movie (which was a tie-in with this line).

I'm probably in a minority here, but I'd rather buy myself a Galidor set over this to be honest.

Yeah. I feel like, this set was made to look like it was an entirely different (and cheaper) kind of toy.

And they succeeded, maybe a little too well, there.

"No, that's not Thanos' severed head lying in a pool of purple blood. It's an octopus, but the lighting is making the radial arms reflect weirdly on its face, appearing as vertical lines."

Ha! I actually have that octopus base thing, some bricklink seller included it as a freebie once upon a time, and i used it in a MOC for part of Thanos. https://i.imgur.com/K0AhsfZ.jpg

What did they do to Thanos?!

2010 were my dark ages. Now I want that bear for my classic setups. You now, ake little stories in town and pirate adventures interesting.

I actually liked this set enough to buy two of it. Then I ended up having a ‘Lotso Beatdown’ afterwards.

" I'm not sure what's going on with the RGB 2x2 bricks. They don't look anything like wooden letter blocks, but they're way too large to represent actual LEGO bricks. Duplo, maybe? "

Comparing them sizewise to the truck, that does seem possible.

He’s a bear. 1x minifig. 1x animal, land. 1x animal, water.

@TheWackyWookiee:
This was the only way to get a basic Lotso. The only other sets that had Lotso (7596 & 7599) came with the dirty version.

I like the toy story sets. Great mini figs.

Sorta reminds me of the various Tonka trucks I owned as a kid. The rounded, chunky look reminds me more of the American Plastic Toys all-plastic dump truck I had. But, the bane of this set to me, then as a TFOL, and even now has been that huge one-piece bed. I saw a 4+ City set still using it. I know they were going for a toy, but it should have been more squared off.

That printed minifig head is a contender for top 10 strangest minifig heads. Yikes.

you earned my like"

And my axe.

I bought this set at a steep discount at Walmart for $5. I believe it was $27 CDN at full retail. None sold until they were $5. I think it's a decent dump truck. The "Minifigs" never found a place in my Lego universe, with the exception of the driver, who was an evil mastermind for a short bit. I wonder of those "minifigs" are worth anything...

A decent parts pack, for the OG Blacktron maybe...

TOY STORY! LEGO's best Disney theme!

I bought this for some reason (I think it was mostly for parts like the wheels and the yellow hardhat). I think I saw the movie at some point but don't remember much of it, so for me these characters always were the Pill-Pusher Bear, the Hallucination Octopus and the Good Trip/Bad Trip Monster.
