Buzz Lightyear Grabber Toy?

[NorweJenNY]

My son wants a Buzz Lightyear grabber toy. It's the kind of thing that you pull a little lever/bar at one end and that will close a C-shaped pincher at the other end, allowing you to pick things up with it. We saw it last July, and again in the fall. We found them on a cart outside of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin in Tommorowland, and I think they might have been in a few other places too.

However, when we went back recently (and my son had saved enough money to purchase one), they were all gone!

Poor kid.

So we've been trying to find one online without success. We also tried our local Disney stores - no luck.

Does anyone know where we might be able to find one? Or does anyone at least have a picture of one? If I could at least find a picture of one, I would try to get a generic grabber toy in similar colors and maybe put some Buzz stickers on it or something. I can't remember quite what it looks like design-wise.

Thanks or any help you can provide!

My son had one for about two days and it broke. He didn't play rough with it either. Maybe alot of people had the same problem so they stopped making them.

Oh, what a shame.
