With the Costco rebate, I've got the most complete sets/bonus features/versisons of Toy Story 1 and 3 and Cars 2. I already owned the normal version of Beauty and the Beast on Blu, and really not in a rush to buy the 3-D version. I imagine I'll pick it up eventually, if it goes on moratorium. Haven't purchased The Lion King yet in any version other than DVD and laserdisc. After helping raise my niece and nephew, I'm a little "Lion King"ed out. That and the ad campaign calling it the greatest animated film of all time gives me hives inside my brain. So I'll wait for news on a moratorium before picking up Lion King 3-D as well.

EDIT

Whoops! Realize I didn't answer your question. I own the DVD "Ultimate Toy Box" (which remains pretty bad ass) so I was hoping for a Blu version of an Ultimate Toy Box, but when I saw it, I hated the packaging, and it sure didn't seem like a worthy successor. So all this time I've been waiting for the price to drop on the Blu version...then DisneyFreak alerted us to the Costco rebate sale, my wife popped in for a look, and they were simply too good to pass up at that price point. The Toy Box doesn't include the 3-D versions, for example.

Meanwhile, Target's running a $19.96 or $19.98 sale on many Disney Blus, and if we hadn't gone to Costco yet, I would have purchased the non 3-D Cars 2 at that price. I hadn't picked the movie up yet because when it was released, my wife was finishing her 2nd masters degree and I was neck deep in writing and when we came up for air, we had missed the coupon windows and the damn thing was over $30.00 retail. So I've been waiting on a deal for Cars 2 - it's the only Pixar film I haven't seen - and voila, here it was. Too good to pass up.

So no, I hadn't purchased the Toy Story films on Blu, or Cars 2, before the Costco sale. Now I have to find Toy Story 2 3-D to complete the set.
thanks for the reply. I've been seriously debating on upgrading to the 3D versions, and my dad still owes me a birthday and graduation gift, so now would be the time for me to buy them. I think you may have convinced me. Only difference is that I own the 2D versions, so I'm going to have to sell those.
