Toy Story BD trilogy ironpack - Blu-ray Forum

smartslick · 11-09-2010, 12:10 AM

As you know, Toy story 1 & 2 FS ironpacks suck! What lame cover art design! Simply print toy story title there? What a gimmick! I don't understand how disney comes out these. They are probably worse than none.

I'm not really a steel/ironpack collector, but I collect those disney/pixar steel/ironpack because they are beautiful, but not including TS 1&2. So I'm not gonna buy them.

I ended up using the TS3 ironpack to hold 3-disc TS 1, 2, 3 BD. In this way I have the toy story BD trilogy ironpack!

I also use the 4-disc TS3 BD case to hold toy story 1,2,3 DVD + TS3 bonus. Thus, we have the toy story DVD trilogy!

So how many of you don't like the design of TS1/2?

I dont hate it like you.
I think they wanted some special design for it and I understand their intentions.

I've always liked the TS1 and TS2 design. It's TS3 that is messed up.

I do wish that they did not duplicate the art on the front and back of the IP, but TS3, and all of the new "in-your-face" Disney SB art is not appealing to me at all.

I would much prefer the logo.

The picture of Buzz staring off into space does not seem to match with anything.

I have the same setup bascially. Toy Story 3 IP with the 3 feature disks inside.

I like the TS Iron Packs... they're very basic but they look like the Toy Story discs shoud. TS3 should be similar (as others have said) with just the "wallpaper" background and the TS3 logo...

+1.
Plus, the same artwork on back is more kind of a unique touch on this artworks, which I like.

I order my Pixar releases separately in release order, and though I have the TS3 case I think I will probably end up selling it because I also don't like the fact that the separate ironpacks for 1&2 do not match up (as well as the fact that it's expensive and annoying to import it in the first place... I'm going to get TPATF but TS 1&2 are not worth the effort). I think I'll be fine keeping my Toy Storys in their standard packaging with slipcovers. If you want to put them all in TS3 then that's cool, but I personally would find it annoying to have the 3 films in a case which said it was just for TS3

As many have said, they either should have had 3 match up with 1&2 and have the 'wallpaper' logo, or should have had 1&2 match up with 3 and have a separate character on each cover (with the spine artwork laid out identically on both). There was obviously some carelessness down the line when it came to designing these.

I like all 3 for what they are and don't feel Disney had any obligation to align the releases and they can do whatever they want with their IP. You speak with your wallet and if you don't like it don't buy as many have not.

It looks like Disney will be re-releasing titles as part of a new set with new cover art.

There is art that has been posted that matches the Buzz Lightyear TS3 cover for most/all of the Disney Pixar movies. They probably are adopting the Buzz cover as part of the new wave of releases.

You got a source for these re-releases? I think you might be referring to the German DVD SteelBooks?

crystal_sun · 11-09-2010, 02:21 PM

it's a steelbook and G2 size...I have to buy it and match it up to complete the set even though it's ugly.

Are you referring to the German DVD SteelBooks™? (Toy Story 1 | Toy Story 2)
If so, Where are you getting this information from?
It would make absolutely no sense for them to release DVD SteelBooks™ in G2 cases.

@Kaliraver: Sorry, I realise I reposted what you said, but we have two different people here possibly referring to the same thing so I figured it was worth addressing the both of them.

Yes, I'm referring to the DVD SteelBook art. I'm not saying anything about the size, which I'm assuming to be G1.

I saw a picture of TS1-3 as well as others like FINDING NEMO as part of the whole set. It looks like someone in North America marketing found the images used by the German marketing team.

I think this is a pretty significant step in terms of SteelBook/IronPack collecting. Studios are now re-releasing catalog titles en masse in collectible packaging to drive sales. They acknowledge that an SB/IP version will sell otherwise stock titles that would sit on the shelves. No need for a 'special edition' or 'director's cut'. The studios can just re-release it in a fancy box to drive sales.

Warner, Disney, and Universal/Alliance have already done so with three 'waves' of SteelBooks. Paramount, Fox, and Sony can't be far behind.

I for one don't miind that the covers don't match since I don't have any intention of opening them. I got them to remain sealed and be put away. The ironpacks for TS1 + 2 were double dips for me.

Each person has their own preference.

What does matching covers have to do with opening them?

Even if I don't open mine, it would be nice if the covers matched, although looking at all BD releases, it is rare that they do (e.g. POTC)
