Help me decide what to buy...

I have about $50 in Amazon gift certificates. It's a toss up between these two.

24 Season 1

Toy Story: The Ultimate Toy Box
(I have the 2-pack and kinda always wished I got the box...Now it's out of print)

I can't decide. Can someone decide for me?

You have to ask yourself: Is the bonus disc in the Ultimate Toy Box worth $50? That will probably make the decision a little easier.

Get Toy Story... it's OOP and you'll regret your decision later if you don't. You can always sell your 2-pack on eBay in a year or so (once copies get harder to find) and probably recoup your costs.

I love Toy Story and Toy Story II. Part II is one of the best animation films I've ever seen, and I isn't too far behind. I haven't seen 24, but if you think you'll get some repeat viewing you should get it. Otherwise, you won't regret getting Toy Story...

I love the 24 series, don't get me wrong. I simply don't know how I could justify owning it to watch over and over again. To me, it's the sort of show you watch once, and that's it. I don't think I'll ever own any of the seasons of that.

I should have bought the Toy Story 3 disc set when I first heard they were stopping production on them. I suggest that.

I'd go with Toy Story as well, since it'll increasing get harder to find as time goes on, and 24 will most likely always be there.

Another vote for Toy Story.

That set is amazing and the extras are worth the extra money. Not sure it's worth 50.00 to you but I can't get enough extras and this set had more than I ever thought they could put on a DVD.

Yet another vote for UTB. I don't know if the Pixar shorts come with the individual release of TS1 and TS2 but they are priceless. If you are not into extras don't bother. But if you are, you'll have set aside hours to fully enjoy it.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I was thinking the same thing as all of you. I went ahead and ordered the Ultimate Toy Box.

I already kicked myself about a month ago when I found out it was OOP. I didn't really have the money to get it then so I just let it go. Now it will finally be mine...

I'd spring for the Toy Story set. It's enjoyable by all age groups, and is just the thing for when that well-meaning couple bring their rowdy 3 year old over.
