Buzz Lightyear is Back and Today, it’s Going on at Your Place   by Barry Ramirez

Aren’t 6 year old boys a pain to buy for at Christmas? Not this year. I’ve found the perfect toy. This is the gift that will bring real magic into their rooms this year. 15 Million other children already agree. This is a conservative estimate of how many children are expected to ask for this toy this year. Ok, ok, so what’s the toy? I hear you cry! It is of course, none other than the infinitely awesome 12″ Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story 3 – complete with extending wings and Jet Pack.

Now I know what you’re thinking; if 15 million other children are asking Santa for Buzz this year, what chance do I have of getting him? I don’t think there’s many of us who could put up with endless queues and seas of crazed Buzz Lightyear fanatics as we fight our way to the Toy Story 3 section, only to find when we get there that he’s totally sold out.

Well, the good news is this doesn’t need to be you. Even Santa had it tough this year and he went out of his way to get the elves more work and it just so happens, they made warehouses full of Buzz Lightyears – but they’ve only delivered them to some select shops. At the top of the elves’ delivery list is Amazon. They’ve got an entire warehouse dedicated to Toys from Toy Story 3 and you’ll be glad to know, Buzz has pride of place – along with Woody and Mr Potato Head, of course!

Miss the queues, avoid the hassle, buy Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear at Amazon now. There’s even 10% off and free delivery for Christmas in the UK.

It’s been over a decade since we first met Buzz Lightyear and he still continues to set our Children’s imaginations on fire. Look at the facts, he has an awesome job. I mean c’mon, the guy is a Protector of the Galaxy and fully-fledged Space Ranger pitted in an endless battle against the evil Emperor Zurg. If that wasn’t cool enough, his space suit has extendable wings, a jet pack and is made from asteroid metal that protects him from all physical damage and even telepathic attacks. Just to make him even more awesome, his indestructible suit has a built in lazer and radio that transfers signals across the entire galaxy.

Even with just half of this stuff, Buzz Lightyear is the grown up that most 6 year old boys want to become when they grow up. It’s this kind of sentimental relationship that has made Buzz a favourite for the last decade and with the launch of Toy Story 3 this year, is exactly the reason why he’ll be tough to bump off the top spot this Christmas.

Even with all the hard work the elves put in this year to create plenty of Buzz’s for everyone, you would still be wise to get your order in asap. To infinity, and beyond!
