Andy dashed into his bedroom frantically, excited about something. He picked up his green backpack from the floor and packed away a flashlight and some magazines that had sat on his desk for some time now. Seeing Buzz on the floor, he decided to take Buzz with him. He picked up his Buzz and started flying him around. He had pressed the red circular button on the right side of the chest controls, but much to Andy's surprise, only his left wing made it out of his jet pack. Andy was surprised to see this.

"Hey, something's not right here!" Andy said to himself. Andy then pressed the green button, but only for Buzz's voice box to play the static, blurred speech of "Buzz Buzz Lightyear t-to to the rescue!"

Andy did not like what was going on with Buzz but couldn't help but to press the red, rounded rectangle button beside the blue and green buttons.

"To Infi-fi-fi-fi-finity... and beyond!" Buzz's voice box broke out.

Distracted by the opening of his bedroom door, Andy turned his head to see his mom entering his room. Andy put down Buzz and turned to her.

"In case you don't know yet, Molly and I are ready to go." Andy's mom told him firmly but in a frustrated manner.
"But mom, my Buzz isn't working and I wanted to take him with me over to dad's this weekend." Andy replied.
"Well like I told you before, toys can't last forever." his mom said as Andy grabbed his backpack, placed it on only one shoulder and they both exited the room at once, closing the door.

After they exited, Buzz blinked his eyes and sat up, taking a good look at his limbs. With Woody in front of them, he, Jessie, Hamm, Rex, Bullseye, Bo Peep, and a few others slowly approached Buzz with concern.

"Buzz?" Woody called quietly to him. "Are you alright"
"I don't know, Woody... I don't know," was Buzz's only reply.
"Try activating your jet pack again!" Rex encouraged. Buzz did so by pushing his red button for his wings but again, only the left wing came out. He pressed it again and made it go back in.
"Woody! Buzz! Think hard. Do either of you remember when Sid captured you? Did anything happen to Buzz?" asked Mr. Potato Head. "Did Sid damage you?" asked Bo Peep without giving them any time to respond to Potato Head.
"I can only think of him tying me to a rocket." Buzz responded but in a monotone and still looking down.
"Don't you also remember when those mutants of Sid's fixed you after you were missing an arm?" asked Woody.
"Yup." replied Buzz. "I also remember it was after trying to fly out the window. Maybe it has something to do with that"
"Who's this Sid?" asked a curious Jessie.
"You don't want to know. Trust me." answered Woody as he turned to her with his arms folded.

"He tortures toys! Just for fun!" Rex interjected.
"But anyway, I'm sure Buzz will be fine." Hamm affirmed, but he thought again. "Or is he? What about when Andy first got him for his birthday?"

Going back to the first time Andy had him, there was Andy's old bedroom with the wall covered in a light-bluish background coated in a pattern of white clouds in two different forms. There was only Hamm, and Rex interviewing Buzz and Woody watching them carrying on his face a look of annoyance, with his arms folded.
"So Mr. Lightyear, talk to me. What do those buttons actually do?" asked Rex.
"Well these are my spacesuit controls." Buzz replied. "I use this button here to activate my jet pack."

He pushed the circular red button and both his wings unleashed before them. "Wow! Cool!" Hamm and Rex said in awe of Buzz.
"But what about the others?" asked Hamm.
"Well these are emergency communication features such as..." he tells them just before pressing one of the three buttons on the right of his spacesuit. Four alarm-like buzzing sounds buzzed from within. "Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!" Buzz's voice-box shouted. He then pressed another button and sounded his voice-box a speech of "It's a secret mission - an unchartered planet!"

Rex approached him, shaking his hand. "WOW! That is so cool! I'm your biggest fan Buzz! I wanna a Space Ranger just like you Buzz! How do I become one?" Rex spoke at him. Woody's annoyance, now grew into more anger as he shouted, "Don't you all get it! He's not a Space Ranger! He's a Space... toy! He's electronic! He's plastic, and Andy, a human being plays with him! He's got you all fooled!!! This is sad." Woody then stormed off, leaving Hamm, Buzz, and Rex alone.

Back to the current action, Buzz was still sitting on the floor, feeling pretty bad about not working well for Andy, and the gang of Andy's toys checking on him.
"Yeah, he was working just fine back then if you ask me." Rex inputs.
"Don't feel bad Buzz." said Wheezy. "I'm having problems with my squeaker, and I just got mine changed too." Wheezy muttered once more as he let out a heavy cough, falling backward but Woody managed to catch him before falling completely to the floor.

"Wheezey, did you try looking for any more speakers in Andy's toy box?" asked Woody.
"I did, but Sharky said there weren't any, right Sharky"
"Right!" Sharkey yelled out to him as he, a troll, and a spinning clown top hung at the opening of Andy's green toy box. Woody just stood there looking forward. Bo Peep used her cane to pull him back, and took him by surprised. Woody choked and coughed a bit, as he held his nape.

"OW! Say Bo, you at least warn me before you do that?" asked Woody as he quickly recovered from his minor choking.
"Woody, I assure you that Buzz had many adventures now, and Andy's mom is right. He's been through a lot. Toys don't always last forever." Bo Peep explained to him.
"But Bo, just think about how upset Andy seemed when he found out Buzz wasn't working"
"Oh... If only Buzz could still remain in the same condition as when he first came into Andy's room."

Upon the red table, and yellow desktop, Hamm sat at Andy's laptop computer. Interrupting Woody and Bo Peep's conversation, he yelled, "Hey guys! I got some bad news"
"Bad news!?" Slinky barked at him. All of their attention then went to Hamm. "What is it Hamm?" asked Rex as he walked over to the desk.
"According to an article here, the Buzz Lightyears are all being... RECALLED!!!" replied Hamm.
"Recalled! That can't be. I mean... how can this be???" Mr. Potato Head jolted in disbelief.
"You see he's not working! Do you not?" asked Slinky with a defensive and authoritative tone of voice.
"I know that but... Andy and... his destruction may be near..." replied Potato Head.
"What are we going to do?" asked Jessie.

An idea struck Woody's head but wanted Rex to work with him...

"Guys, it's alright, it's okay. I have an idea. Rex, you with me"
"Sure..." Rex answered but was not fully sure where Woody went with this.
"You're not thinking we should replace him, do you?" asked Jessie with authority.

"NOOO! NO! NO!" Woody shut his eyes and nodded his head at Jessie. "Buzz, look at your scanner, where were you made." Woody said to Buzz. Buzz opened his scanner, seeing only the out-graved "Made in Taiwan" text.
"Well... according to this, I was made in Taiwan," Buzz told Woody.
"Taiwan? Okay, Rex and I were thinking that if we ship you to Taiwan, they will fix you there and you'll be all better and Andy will start playing with you again! Right guys!" Woody explained.
"Know what? I actually like that idea." Slinky said half to himself.
"Me as well..." said Mr. Potato Head.
"Good!" Woody grinned. "Everyone listen up."
