SET NAME: Woody's Roundup
SET NUMBER: 7594
THEME: Toy Story
YEAR RELEASED: 2010
NUMBER OF PIECES: 502
PRICE: $69.99 (CDN) $49.99 (USD)

Based on the Woody's Roundup TV show featured in Toy Story 2, this set is one of the "must have" sets from the Toy Story line. Even though it is no longer available from LEGO shop@home, you might still be able to find it in some retail locations.

The front of the box:
Image

The back of the box shows how to blow the back off the jail so Stinky Pete can escape.
Image

The contents of the box - 4 numbered bags, the special mini figs, some large plates, 2 instruction books, and the dreaded sticker sheet.
Image

The cover of the instruction book. I hate how they get bent inside the box, hopefully the rumors I've been hearing about encasing them in cardboard wrappings are true:
Image

A random page from the instructions. The pieces needed are shown at the beginning of each step. Assembly is very straight forward, my four year old daughter put most of this set together for me.
Image

The minifigures - From left to right, Woody, Jesse, Bullseye, and Stinky Pete.
Image

The backs of the minifigures. I didn't realize it from watching the movie, but both Jesse and Stinky Pete have pull strings on their back like Woody does (you can't see Jesse's because her hair covers most of it.) The hats are attached to the heads and do not come off. Woody and Jesse have extra long arms and legs, and Stinky Pete has short legs. Bullseye's saddle does not come off either, but his legs move.
Image

The contents of the first bag (minus mini figures). This bag makes Stinky Pete's mine and some other small parts of the set. (A cactus, a water trough, Stinky Pete's mining tools in a crate, and a red snake.)
Image

Bulleye with the saddle filled in. This piece is hard to get out, you need to stick the LEGO broom up a hole in the bottom of Bulleye to get it out.
Image

Here is the completed Mine. There is a hole at the top where you can create a cave in by dropping some round pieces in.
Image

The contents of bag #2. This bag creates the lower level of the sheriff (or She Riff) station.
Image

The completed section with extra pieces. On the right side is one of the play features, the "boardwalk catapult" mentioned in the description. Once all the sections are attached, you can use it to flip Stinky Pete through the air.
Image

The contents of the third bag. This bag builds you the top floor of the sheriff station.
Image

Here is the top floor added on from the back so you can see the safe.
Image

And from the front. I don't usually apply stickers to my sets, but since I don't plan on taking this apart any time soon, (if ever) I made an exception.
Image

The final bag. This bag gives you the jail.
Image

Here's the completed jail attached to the sheriff station (sorry about the leg in the back ground, that would be my daughter. :)
Image

And finally the complete set with mini figures and accessories included.
Image

Final thoughts. I really enjoyed this set. The mini figures are cool, but only if you love Toy Story 2. They are very limited in use outside of a Toy Story setting. The build was straight forward and fun. The price (at least here in Canada) was a bit high, but not outrageously so considering this is a licensed theme. If you only want it for parts, they are highly re-usable. The play features are good, and consistent with the theme. As I said above, this is a "must have" for the Toy Story line.

RATINGS:
Minifigures: 4/5
Parts: 5/5
Price: 3.5/5
