I'll be getting it day 1 just to use the coupon before it expires and to take advantage of likely Pixar blu deals.

Me too. If it's under $15 AC of course.

[hidef al]

This will be a must-have for everybody. Day 1 purchase for me.

[Diesel]

Disney $10 coupons ftw!

If there's one with a DVD count me in for that one so I can sell the DVD to a family member

[Mr.Sparkle]

I can't wait for this movie, Pixars movies are my most anticipated blu-rays every year! I'll probably get the 4-disc set, I could care less about the gift set mostlikely since their usually over priced and the "gift" isn't very nice, I heard that the Luxo lap that came with Up was pretty poorly made, and very fragile.

[STARSCREAM]

Day one for sure!

I only sell DVDs to co-workers and friends, I give DVDs to my family.

I can't wait for this!!! Day 1!!!

Does anyone think that this won't be released in a trilogy box set, but be treated as just another Pixar movie and not as as an installment of Toy Story, ie. the artwork, spine, etc. won't be the same as Toy Story and Toy Story 2.

Don't you understand where I'm coming from?

I don't really see how the artwork for the first 2 films is all that similar anyway?

I think that's the point he was trying to make because movies and their sequels should have similar or matching artwork in my opinion.

[svenge]

Since they released the BDs of TS1 and TS2 rather recently, I think they'll probably have the TS3 cover be somewhat similar in layout to the others, at least for the outward-facing spine.

[Evra]

I'm praying for a trilogy boxset. Come on, Disney!

[P@t_Mtl]

I tought it was some sort of news back in March with the release of the first two that a box set with all three would be happening before Christmas

[LeAnn]

this movie is by far my favorite of the series! Definitely cannot wait for the release!

I understand that you didn't want to wait for the inevitable box set and now you want one. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I held off on the first two knowing there was no way they WOULDN'T release a box set and the downside to my choice is that I can't watch the first two movies on Blu until the third one is released.

[bboisvert]

I'm grabbing this Day 1, but I'm hoping for some crazy deals like there were with the other two... with sales and coupons, I got both for $16 total. Which is essentially like getting them free, since they both had movie cash for the third.

I'm hoping the 2-disc edition is identical to the 4-disc, save for the DVD and digital copy. Since I don't need those, I'd rather save a bit of $$$.

Fantastic movies, and great blus. This will be a HUGE seller.

I don't care one bit if they come in a box set or not, and I never actually said I wanted one.
