For one this trilogy combo pack will essentially be cheaper to get than buying the three movies separately. This is a very good thing for those of you who do not have any Toy Story Blu-Rays as this means you're coming out ahead of the rest of us who bought them separate. Also everybody's favorite talking point on this release is the inclusion of a digital copy for playing on your portables, a feature not included in the separate releases. So is that all the benefits of getting this package? Well you get a cheesy little carrying case that is pictured above, but that's pretty much it.
That's right ladies and gentlemen. No exclusive content. Three disks for each movies (Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital copy) along with a tenth disk that is likely the same supplemental disk that's included in the Toy Story 3 Blu-Ray. If you are looking for a collector's set with never-before seen footage, featurettes, outtakes, alternate endings and whatnot you won't find it here. However if you don't have any of the previous disks you will get a pretty sweet price, and for those moaning about digital copies you will get that too. Oh yeah... and the toy box "collector's" case.The Toy Story trilogy is amazing, as most would suspect. However the 3-star rating given to this product is NOT because of the movies, it is for the sub-par packaging they come in. For such a lucrative franchise I expected much more. The "toy box" design is certainly cool, keeping with the theme of Toy Story, but the disks sit inside a styrofoam container with little room to grab each disk. The flimsy quality of the actual toy box could be an issue in the making as I am not certain it will last that long. I wouldn't recommend leaving this for little ones to play with or use, in stead take out the disks and place them in slim jewel cases or possibly buy the 3-disk trilogy instead.
Buy Toy Story Trilogy (2011) Now
I decided to get this trilogy/box set instead of the U.S. version because I didn't want the extra stuff such as the dvds I'm not going to use or the digital copies I'd never use. This was all I wanted just the feature movies. I also bought the set because it is much cheaper than buying the American versions of each movie. Each is at the low-end of $20-$25 each for the first two. The third movie is upwards of $30. Too much for me to buy individually so I bought this.This set comes with 4 blu rays. Toy Story 1 has 1 disc that is the main movie and some special features. Toy Story 2 has 1 disc and some special features. And Toy Story 3 has 2 discs one disc is the main movie and some special features and the 2nd disc is bonus materials. This disc is as well a blu ray.
The set is well packaged with 3 blu ray cases. This set is region free so it will play on American blu ray players. The movies are crisp and clear and bright. Would buy from this seller agian.
Read Best Reviews of Toy Story Trilogy (2011) Here
This is a case of having a great idea but being too lazy to execute it and give the best product worthy of the word ultimate.blu-ray discs, check
dvds, check
digital codes, check
toy box, sturdy cardboard box. It's nice and for the price of the trilogy I won't complain
what I will complain about is the fact that the disc are not in jewel cases or circular plastic cases. The discs are placed in a piece of black foam. Nothing really special, just slots in the foam for each and every discs. You know what this is called? It's called lazy production value.
don't buy this product, you are better off just buying a combo pack sometime down the line. The Mediocre Toy Story Collection is not worth your money and is not worthy of these great filmsI pre-ordered, since I loved the first movie as a child, and my wife, child and I loved the 3rd movie this summer (his recent birthday party was Toy Story themed). However, I want to know, what gives?!? These are children's movies, and they don't give better protection than the discs sitting in foam in a cardboard box? No individual protection, so this set will have to stay out of my child's reach, or I know I'll find an assortment of discs lying around my living room floor. The foam appears to have been made quite lazily, as a couple of the discs don't even sit right. It would've also been nicer if they had either labelled the area where each disc goes or staggered them differently. With the small spacing between discs, it's difficult to select a disc without smudging the others around it, at least if you have fat fingers like yours truly. Also, for an "ultimate" edition, there appears to be a severe lack of special features discs. I guess this is why the price dropped several times before release? I'm pretty sure this is the worst Pixar product I've seen...
