Toy Story 3 Landfill Play Set

With its release in June 2010, Disney-Pixar’s Toy Story 3 has been the inspiration for another group of popular toys that will most definitely fly off the shelves this holiday season. One of these toys is the Toy Story 3 Landfill Play Set made by Fisher Price and part of the famous Imaginext toy line. The play set recreates the scene at the end of the movie where Buzz Lightyear is trapped and in terrible danger at the Tri-Cities Dump, and is rescued by Woody and the rest of their friends. The scene ends with the toys escaping the dumps incinerator and finding a new home.

There are three levels of play in this set, each recreating specific parts of the scene from the movie. A large scoop dumps the toys into a sorter; the sorter puts them on a conveyer belt. The conveyer belt moves the toys from one level to the next. The final level of the set is the incinerator, and kids have to quickly rescue the toys, moving them to safety with the crane.

The set also comes with a moving bulldozer.

So far, parents have given this toy incredible reviews. They appreciate the rounded corners on the set, and the chunky size of the moving parts. Kids seem to enjoy creating their own Toy Story adventure every time they play. Kids can start at the incinerator working their way to the conveyer belt, or vice versa.

This is a great buy for anyone wanting to give the little one a creative way to occupy his or her time. The sturdy plastic, kid safe edges, and chunky figurines are what most parents have come to expect from Pixar and Disney alike. The ability of the child to creatively make up his/her own adventure, differently every time, makes The Toy Story 3 Landfill Play Set a great toy. Like Toy Story toys of the past, this is likely to be a difficult to come by toy this holiday season.

Here is a rundown of the various play modes available on the Loopz game.

Music Studio: As the name suggests, it is a mini Music studio. In this mode, you can select an instrument and each instrument can make 10 different sounds. You can create your own music by passing your hands through the arcs or semi-circles called loopz.

Reflex Master: The object of this mode is to test your reflexes. This mode can be played by 4 different people and the object is to “tag” as many lights as possible within 30 seconds. This mode is great for improving a person’s reflex skills.

Repeat the Beat: This mode is similar to the old memory game Simon Says. The rules are simple, try and repeat the pattern the machine gives exactly. As you go, the speed increases and the patterns become more complex. Mess up once and you are out.

Rhythm and Flow: This mode is similar to “Repeat the Beat”. The object of the game is to keep up with the rhythm and beat of the song by waving your hands through the semi-circles. If the player makes a mistake, the song will stop and they will have to start over. Only one player at time can play this mode, which has 3 different difficulty levels.

Free Style DJ: With this mode the player will be able to choose his or her track by waving their hands in the semi-circles.

Musicology: This mode allows the player to build songs by completing patterns. If you get 5 patterns in a row, the song will be completed. It is bit like a puzzle, but with music. This mode has 3 levels of difficulty.

Versus Mode: This is a 2 player mode where the object is to build the pattern as you play and it will not stop until one person makes a mistake. If you are into head- to-head competition, then this mode is for you.

All in all Loopz promises to be a great game for the whole family to get together and have some serious fun. It is for anybody above the age 7, which means adults will also have some great fun with it.
