Toy Story 3 Lego 2010 Review: Set 7598 Pizza Planet Truck Rescue

Lego began their Toy Story theme in early 2010 and the second wave of toys hits retailers just before the release of Toy Story 3, Pixar's 2010 release. With a huge fanbase and no doubt another hit on their hands it is no surprise that these Lego sets will be popular with kids and older fans.

Way back in the original Toy Story when Woody was still trying to convince Buzz Lightyear he was a toy, there was a highly dramatic chase where the two had to work as a team in order to get back home to Andy. The Pizza Planet delivery truck that Woody and Buzz requisition in order to achieve that aim makes a reappearance in both Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 and is now a Pixar icon and appears as an Easter Egg in their other films, so it makes sense that it would be recreated in Lego.

The set comes in at 225 pieces and comes with four minifigures; Buzz Lightyear, Hamm, Rex and a little green alien. The Pizza Planet delivery truck is the highlight of the set and is a beautiful design, featuring not only the rocket that graces the top of its cinematic equivalent ("Look Buzz, it's a rocket!") but also a mechanism to fire off pizzas from the front of the car.

The interior of the truck is fairly detailed and roomy, enough for a couple of figures to sit side by side (though perhaps not with Rex who fits into the rear tray). The truck has large chunky wheels which make the vehicle roll easily and it also features an opening front hood, a hatch at the back and small details such as opening side doors and rear view mirrors. There are no stickers in this set and the printed parts include a rear name plate that says YO (think of TOYOTA with a few missing letters) and the door pieces with the Pizza Planet logo.

For older fans of the landmark animated series it is a wonderful iconic vehicle while for newer fans it makes a fun and detailed vehicle to play with.
