Buzz Lightyear Stuff I Don’t Own, Part 1

stuff-i-dont-own-title

Along with all of the wonderful Buzz Lightyear items I’m sharing on a daily basis, I thought it would be prudent to share some of the things I down own.

Buzz stuff that I don’t own falls into three categories:

Do Not Want. These items are cheap, stupid looking, or just doesn’t do it for me. I also don’t purchase things that won’t display well on a shelf.

Too Expensive. There are many, many Buzz items I would own if they weren’t way overpriced or just outright costly.

Can’t buy it. Not everything I want to buy is available to buy. Stuff coming out of Japan can be hard to acquire. But most of the items in this category are no longer for sale. Ebay will have them once in a while… but it’s not likely.

Haven’t bought it yet. I can’t just buy everything I want all at once. I have a budget just like everyone else.

So without further ado, here are some items I don’t own.

Buzz Lightyear Dishes

 

Here we have a  collection of Toy Story dishes featuring Buzz Lightyear and his friends. From left to right a bowl, plate and child-sized spoon and fork.

All of these items display the Toy Story 2 logo so that means I most likely bought them between 1999-2000. These items have never been used and are in mint condition.

Buzz Lightyear Candy Collectibles

Today we have a collection of candy related items I’ve collected over the years. From left to right: a netted bag of chocolate coins (that if eaten would surely put you in the hospital); a candy camera that contains candy (also would put you in a hospital); two tins of red hots (probably still good but older than my kids who are 8 and 5); and a spin pop that doesn’t spin (lollipop probably still edible but you go first).

Not much to say about the chocolate coins. They’re foil wrapped and each has an image from one of the Toy Story movies. The coins inside appear (through the wrapper) to be flat discs, not embossed with any sort of image in the chocolate itself. The website eatbydate.com says that chocolate lasts between 2-4 months. It’s been between 8-12 years since I bought them. Safe to say they’re better looking on the outside.

I wasn’t planning on posting Giant Lego Minifig Buzz Clock today… but apparently kids.woot.com had him for sale and several of my online friends wanted to make sure I saw it. Fear not online friends! For I already have him!

For posterity.

For posterity.

I think I got him off Amazon.com and defiantly paid full price unlike the half-off that kids.woot was offering.

I’m very excited to be sharing this item with you today. This may be the single weirdest Buzz Lightyear item I have ever seen or owned. Even after all these years I just don’t get why a Buzz Lightyear water bottle holder was ever made.

Buzz Lightyear Mouse and Mouse Pad

Of all of the items I’ve shared so far this is the most recent addition… That’s right folks… a Buzz Lightyear shaped PS2 trackball Mouse still in the box from 19Godknowswhen. I picked it up on Ebay for $10. I remember back when they were new, but I was in my ‘use it’ phase and couldn’t imagine what kind of hand cramps I’d get trying to compute with that thing. It’s not the most ergonomic design in the world. I would defiantly classify this as one of my more unique and outright odd collectibles. Continue reading →

Cereal & Fast Food Prize Buzz Lightyears

If today’s group of Buzzes were a food group you would place them firmly in the Junk Food group. Sugared cereals and Fast food are known for their cheap attempts at attracting the elementary set by offering trinkets and toys. I believe I have something from every Disney/Pixar promotion of this type ever done.

From left to right we have a Little Green Man (LGM) mini bobble head from Kellog’s, a Buzz “Puppet” from Burger King, a small plush beanie Buzz from Kellog’s, another mini bobblehead cept it’s Buzz, and a Toy Story flip book from Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Continue reading →

I’ve got three different officially licensed Toy Story video games here. From left to right: Toy Story Animated Story Book, Toy Story Power Play and Toy Story 2 Action Game.

I got the left two, the ones still shrink wrapped, from a toy store in Kansas City that I happened upon that was selling tons of different toys for 40-50% off. My Buzz collection benefited greatly on that night as you’ll see with other items that will be featured later on.

General Well-being Update

Okay so hi. I’ll just jump right in. I’m doing loads better in the big picture. It’s up and down from day to day. Even within the same day I can have several mood swings. I have always been thankful that I’ve never swung toward the Anger spectrum of emotions. Sadness and Not-sadness has been the span.

Chest pain is gone… replaced by chest pressure, but only during times of severe anxiety… which are rarer and rarer… long sentence. I never know when or why I’ll feel anxiety about whatever is going on or about to happen. Unless my Mom calls. That’s 100% anxiety for sure.

Sleeping at night is pretty awesome. I’ve had problems sleeping at night for years. My mind just wouldn’t shut down. Between some medication and a “bedtime ritual” (basically doing something until I can’t stay awake then passing out on the couch). Continue reading →
