Lego Ideas
A project based on "Andy's Room" was uploaded to the Lego Ideas site on September 4, 2016. The project hopes to reach 10,000 supporters in order for Lego to consider to make it into an official set. The project is based on Andy's bedroom from the original Toy Story film and includes characters such as Buzz Lightyear, Sheriff Woody, Rex, Hamm, Mr Potato Head and RC. But in 2018, the project expired.
