Far from the confines of Andy’s room, a sneak peek of new Forever stamps from the U.S. Postal Service was revealed at the red-carpet premiere of Disney and Pixar’s “Lightyear,” the new movie featuring Buzz Lightyear.
“Go Beyond” is a pane of 20 stamps arranged in four horizontal rows of five stamps featuring the image of Buzz Lightyear, a Space Ranger marooned on a planet 4.2 million light-years from Earth.
Additional details about the “Go Beyond” commemorative stamp collection, including the release date, will be announced later this year.

Magyar Posta is marking the 150th anniversary of the foundation of GYSEV Zrt. by issuing a commemorative stamp, designed by graphic artist Imre Benedek was produced.
Today, GYSEV operates railway lines in two countries, performs passenger transport by rail in Hungary and Austria, and carries out rail freight transport across Europe. The stamp depicts the former locomotive of GYSEV with track number 113 already operating at the end of the 19th century, as well as a modern tractive vehicle, the Siemens Vectron.
I’ve included one of our standard-sized $3.70 Dingo stamps as comparison, so that you can see how much larger these new stamps are!
They will use a lot of space…but they look great. They are a domestic stamp. But the maxicards can be sent internationally, so that’s all good. And if I end up using the stamp for postage internationally, I just have to add another 10% in stamp value. It’s a bit confusing. But I’ve been doing it a lot recently…because we have some really nice domestic stamps.
