Plot
One year after the events of the second film, John and his new girlfriend, Claire, are living a beautiful life. One day, after being introduced to a newcomer, Springall (who has an existential crisis), they throw a party and keep the beat, until, suddenly, an intergalactic invader named Bot Mayhem chases them, their troopers, and all of the citizens of Toytown. They manage to make it to a hiding spot. Bot Mayhem demands Claire to give John to him for being leader. She doesn't listen, so Bot Mayhem captures Claire, and John's other troopers, Ian, Tina, Ouch, Rage, Page, Cage, and Age, Ribbit, and Robone, and speeds of into the sky.

Knowing it was his fault, John and Springall fly off to rescue them. Asteroids block their way, until they are rescued by a spaceman named Mr. Ranger, who takes them to his ship. John and Springall explains that they want to rescue their friends, but Mr. Ranger says it is too suicide because they are taken to the place called the "X-Star System", a place ruled by a evil wolf named King Garlin Goodman, who tries to get them to stay, but they choose to get home.

After John, Springall, and Mr. Ranger arrive at the X-Star System, John's troopers are taken for a check up, but John blasts the doorway, freeing everyone, including Sally, Taco-Cat, and Tim the tiger. Before Claire blames John, Bot Mayhem sets an escape pod to kill John by self-destructing itself. Just as it jettisons, John escapes by using a jetpack and he, Springall, and Claire return to their troopers. Back in the X-Star System, John convinces the imprisoned toys to come to Toytown with them. King Garlin Goodman then bullies John, perils Claire, and sends the others to prison.

After Springall saves John and Claire from being thrown into space, they free their troopers, Sally, Taco-Cat, Mr. Ranger, and the imprisoned toys and threaten King Garlin Goodman and Bot Mayhem. Bot Mayhem is defeated, but King Garlin Goodman chases John and Claire until they jump across a huge lava pit. They escape from the ledge (which breaks under King Garlin Goodman's weight), and he burns to his death, and John, Claire, Springall, Mr. Ranger, Sally, Taco-Cat, Tim, Ian, Tina, Ouch, Rage, Cage, Page, and Age, Ribbit, Robone, and the imprisoned toys escape from the X-Star system before it is blown up to smithereens.

When they return, they welcome Sally, Taco-Cat, Tim, and the imprisoned toys to Toytown, but Mr. Ranger says that he has to go back to his headquarters. John and Mr. Ranger share an emotional goodbye hug, and Mr. Ranger leaves. The film ends with John emotionally saying, "So long, Mr. Ranger." as he and the others watch him fly off into the sunset.
