How to tell if ToyBox is legit?
Hey,
I remember a while ago there was a thread about tell-tale signs that some Toy Story Toy Boxes weren't legit.
Could someone please direct me towards the thread, or tell me what I can look for to make sure my Toy Box isn't a bootleg?
My friends bought it for me for my birthday from EBay, and I just wanted to make sure that everything was in order.
Thanks!

Yeah, I remember the thread but can't seem to find it. I think someone posted pics to compare. I can't remember the specifics, though, so here are some general things to look for...
Make sure it doesn't say DTS or DVD9 anywhere on the covers.
The disc art is a slightly zoomed in pic of the cover art for that disc.
Each disc has the silver reflective background, not white.
Hopefully, someone else might have some tips.

Wonderful, thanks for the help guys! It came with the transparent slipcase, the discs are all reflective, and the inserts are all in order. Looks perfectly legit to me!
Again, thank you all for the help

might try a more legit site than ebay....or use paypal, so you can get your money back if you get screwed...might also try buying one in your area so after you win the bid you can go look at it

also feedback is a poor way to tell if a user is selling bootlegs... most people won't even catch it... the feedback was clean for many pages back on the last batch I bought from ebay, which turned out to be some/all bootlegs.

This is one of the ones I am looking at.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW
But looking at it now the price sure seems high.
