** In ''Toy Story 3'', {{spoiler|1=The aliens' obsession with The Claw from the first movie becomes a hilarious [[Brick Joke]]/[[Chekhov's Gun]]/[[Big Damn Heroes]]/[[Deus Ex Machina]] all in one.}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|"The Claw chooses who will go and who will stay!"}}}}
* [[Collectible Cloney Babies]]: The franchise features this in several film:
** At Andy's birthday party in the first movie, he is gifted Buzz Lightyear-themed merchandise before his mother reveals Buzz as a surprise present. Buzz is apparently the hottest new toy of the year, much to Woody's chagrin.
** Pizza Planet offers [[Little Green Man]] plushies as prizes within a crane game. While most kids would collect them for the novelty, Sid wins one to offer his dog Scud a new toy. He battles the crane game -- and Woody unknowingly-- on seeing that "Buzz Lightyear" is in there as a bonus prize.
** In ''[[Toy Story 2]]'', Al of Al's Toy Barn steals Woody on seeing he is an intact Woody, hat and all, with one "flaw" that is fixable-- Woody's ripped arm. In his apartment, Jessie and Bullseye reveal that Woody used to be a tie-in toy for a show, along with them and Stinky Pete. Woody is the rarest owing to being the most popular and fragile.
** "[[Toy Story of Terror]]" reveals that a seedy hotel owner {{spoiler|uses his monitor lizard to steal toys from hotel rooms so that he can sell them on the Internet. Jessie manages to expose the scheme so that Bonnie and her mother can rescue Woody and the others. Her mother also calls the cops on the guy.}}
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Makes up most of the plot. No, not the movie itself. Every situation that's ever happened in ''Toy Story'' many of the toy characters always assumed the worst, before finding out the real truth. Three hilarious examples include:
## Potato Head accusing Woody of murdering Buzz when he sees the broken arm. {{spoiler|Buzz was too depressed to get out of his [[Heroic BSOD]] to prove he was still alive.}}
