Disney / Pixar Toy Story 3 Exclusive UCommand Buzz Lightyear with Remote Control Review

Don't pay full retail for this. Get it on sale if you can, it's not worth $70-$80. For some dumb reason I thought I was getting the more impressive, more expensive Buzz robot when I opted to sleep in the Toys R Us parking lot on Black Friday Eve waiting to be the first in line. I managed to get it for 50% off and was pleased with my purchase until my son started playing with it on his birthday. We have carpet throughout our house with a few small, flat flooring areas. Of course you can't use Buzz on carpets so play is limited for us inside the house. We decided to take Buzz outside for a go on the basketball court accross the street at the park. Buzz does ok on the cement if it is not too rough - just don't let him hit a crack and fall over forward or it will scratch the front sensor for the remote control. The biggest problem we had outside was that he is not really made or outdoor play and you have to stand very close to him or the remote control does not work.
I think my biggest complaint is that this Buzz just moves his arms, rolls around, and says phrases (of course the Spanish mode is a plus). When I had Googled "Buz Lightyear Ucommand robot" I found a few reviews and one made this toy sound pretty amazing. After playing with it for a while and a bit more internet research I realized that the review I had read was for the more expensive robot. I think the toy in the review was mistakenly misnamed (or maybe it was on purpose). Don't get confused, this is not the Buzz that understands voice commands or changes from thinking he's a Space Ranger to knowing he's a toy - that's the other one. Overall, my 5 year-old son is happy with this Buzz which is what matters. Maybe I should have saved my money and spent the $150 for the way overpriced, yet infinitely more impressive Buzz by Thinkway. Oh well.

Ultimate Buzz Lightyear Review

Okay, we saw this Buzz at Target and we just had to have it. In demo mode he appears to do everything. We bought him to save for Christmas 2010, thankfully we decided to test him based on the mixed reviews on Amazon to ensure that he worked correctly. Glad we did. In demo at the store I believe he dances his Spanish dance and I thought that he even spoke Spanish (I may be wrong on this one), anyway I really don't have anything positive to say about this toy so here is what I think.
1.Overpriced!
2.Wings don't pop out or light up (like in the lower priced $25 model sold at the Disney Store See "Advanced Talking Buzz Lightyear Action Figure -- 12'' (Item # 200855P )" P.S. Beware there are like 50,000 (slight exaggeration) Different variations of the Buzz lightyear 12" figure out there that all do different things.
3.Will only "walk" on hard surface. And programming him requires a degree in rocket science (Pun intended).
4.Manual stinks
5.He seems too fragile to be a kid's toy.
6.Quality Control stinks (Heard a piece of plastic rattling around inside after removing him from the box.)
The $25 one at the Disney store does it all. In fact here is a list of all the things that the $125 Buzz DOES NOT do that the $25 Buzz DOES DO.
$25 Dollar Buzz Functions:
*Press button for wing release (wow just like the movie!)
*Push button to retract helmet (wow just like the movie!)
*Wing tips, wing housing and wrist light up (wow just like the movie!)
*Fully articulated with lots of poseable joints ( $125 Buzz seem too fragile to pose)
*Press button on wings to activate Buzz's arm karate chop (wow just like the movie!)
*Actual movie size 12'' (wow just like the movie!)
*Requires 2 AA batteries, included (the plethora of batteries required to the $125 dollar Buzz are not included. (Wow just like the movie!)
I really hope this review helps at least one person avoid the disappointment that we felt when we bought this piece of junk. Save money and by the $25 real Advanced Talking Buzz Light Year at Disney.

This was purchased for my 4-year-old son. He is THE #1 Toy Story fan. He loves the Robot and it's very hard to find those toys so we were thrilled when we saw this set. He received them for his birthday and plays with his Buzz and Robot all the time. Great price - great toy!
