Set No: 7593  Name: Buzz's Star Command Spaceship
* 
7593-1 (Inv) Buzz's Star Command Spaceship
244 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2010
Sets: Toy Story

I am looking at the spaceship in this set and obviously it is connected to the
box that Buzz came in on Toy Story 1 and 2, but it is a spaceship here and much
larger than his box. I see other toys on Google that are also based on what
the box would look like as a spaceship, but I am not finding where Buzz was ever
depicted in a ship like that. I didn't watch Star Command, but it looks
like they fly around in big ship with the cockpit toward the back. Does someone
who watched the show know if they ever used smaller maybe fighter craft that
looked like this or is this just Lego's imagining of what the box would be?

What I am trying to establish in my mind is if this is just a secondary imagination
Toy Story set or whether it is a "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" set.
All of the other sets that came out that year depict events in one of the movies.

Creative liberty with a fun recreation of Buzz’s retail packaging as portrayed
in Toy Story 1 and 2, would be my guess. Don't know. Though I believe LEGO
didn’t start marketing the franchise until Toy Story 2, some five years after
the sensation of the first movie. Many missed that train, or were just late in
understanding the phenomenon that Steve Job’s Pixar was creating

Has it been nearly 30 years since Pixar hit the scene with their new exciting
tech, with Toy Story?! Wow! Unlike Buzz’s paper ship, time really does fly
I remember enjoying the movie, especially Tim Allen’s lines. Beyond the tech,
I feel that the personality Tim Allen gave to Buzz, really helped the film to
hit big. Never did see any of the subsequent movies or sequels though. Maybe
I should?

"To infinity and beyond!" Which puts into context "There
seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere"
