Reviews for the Tory Story Ultimate Toy Box are largely very positive. Buyers like the extra features and the quality of the Blu Ray DVDs. One thing that many don’t like however is the packaging. The Toy Story chest looks cute from the outside but unfortunately the dvd’s don’t have their own individual packaging and do have to be handled to get them out of the box. Most reviewers feel though that for the money they are a very good deal. Check it out for your self by clicking the links below.
