Well, it's not that hard to accept it as being his dad's toy. I have some of my dad's stuff from when he was younger, too.
Also, my grandfather was born in 1923 and my dad was born in 1958, so it's not that hard to think in that sense.
Andy's dad had to have been born before 1957 as Stinky Pete mentions that Woody's roundup ended when Sputnik was launched.
so my guess as to when Andy's dad was born was 1949 more or less. That would make him approx. 7-8, which would make Andy's father a better chance of remembering the show. Now if you keep my grandfather in mind, it is very possible that Andy was born around 1986 while his father was in his late 30s.
If I remember correctly, Woody says something like he hadn't seen a record player in a long time, so Woody would more than likely have been his father's toy. If Andy's father is dead, that would more than likely explain Andy's continual love for Woody as his favorite toy.

this always confused me. If Woody was Andy's fathers toy then why did Woody worry that Andy would grow up and move on. It would seem that if he had already been through a previous owner then you'd think Woody would've realized that Andy would grow up and move on.
I mean I would prob think it's his father's toy but the continuity doesnt exactly fit...

That's exactly WHY Woody would worry about Andy growing up and moving on (IMO). Maybe Woody had been in a box up in the attic for a while and worried about having to go through that again. Think about how upset Jessie was when she thought she would have to go back into storage. Woody was a much more cool character so he wouldn't have freaked out about it, but it makes sense to me that he would worry about it.
