Everything About This Release Is Generally Awesome

Verified Purchase:Yes
For huge fans of the movie and LEGO in general, do yourself a favor and just pick this version up, even if you don't have a 3D TV.
The packaging is real neat with the big molded image of Emmet and a bonus Vitruvius minifigure. However, it's not the Vitruvius you may want; It's "Young Vitruvius", as in the one you see at the very beginning of the movie and not anywhere else. If you want the old, blind Vitruvius seen in 90% of the movie, you'll want to buy one of the more expensive LEGO movie sets or check eBay. Still, this is a real cool collectable and you can't get it anywhere else.
This "Everything is Awesome" edition features multiple copies of the movie, much like any deluxe release, so you get the DVD copy, the Blu-Ray copy, the 3D Blu-Ray copy, and the UltraViolet digital copy (via code). The movie looks great in hi-def, and especially in 3D.
The movie, of course, is awesome. If you still never seen the movie: It's a great inspired film for all ages that doesn't feel like a huge advertisement. It's really smart, clever, and especially funny. On top of that, the visual style is fantastic and it looks exactly like LEGO bricks coming to life.
My major gripe with this release, however, is that it's seems kinda lacking in features. You do get the standard commentary track (and TONS of alternate languages) and a several behind-the-scenes featurettes, which are real neat, but I wanted to see more of that. The movie was in development for years, and yet they don't touch too much on the earlier versions of the film when the cast was entirely different. Aside from making-of features, there's a few fun videos with new animation worth checking out, but overall, I wish there was a bit more, even just one or two more featurettes.
Additionally, the Blu-Ray menus are completely uninspired. They could have done a lot with this, even an animated background and buttons that look like LEGO bricks, but they didn't do ANY of that. Nothing about the disks feel special.
Overall: This is a great pack for fans of the film, but you may wish that there was more to it. Definitely pay extra for this copy if you really love the movie and/or a major fan of LEGO.

What's great about it: 3D Blu-Ray & digital UV copy, exclusive Vitruvius minifig
What's not so great: Uninspired menus, could use more special features, not the minifig you want
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gets the job done

How Often Used:Daily
Verified Purchase:Yes
Personally, I am not a fan of in-ear silicone isolation that some earbuds have, so that's why I go for simple earbuds like these for normal every-day use.
Not much to say about these other than that they are cheap, simple earbuds. They won't blow you away or anything, but they are certainly better than the REALLY cheaply-made free earbuds I occasionally get from promotions.
The major knocks on these is that I do not think they are worth $8. If you get them on sale for $5 or less, then sure, only if you need simple headphones right now. I only bought this pair because my older JVC earbuds broke on me, which is another knock on these:
These earbuds tend to be a bit flimsy. After several months, my old JVC earbuds, also bought from Best Buy, had the rubber protector around the headphone jack loosen, making it hard to removing them from my phone without just slipping the rubber part down the cord and not the jack itself. Not only that, but the wiring on one of the earbuds went bad and no longer works, which tends to be the main issue after several months, which makes me buy yet another pair down the line and start the cycle all over again.
Sure, I could just buy a much better quality earbud for a higher price, but even those break down after a while, so I rather spend around $5 once or twice a year just for a simple pair of earbuds that sound good enough and has a long enough cord for me when I'm on-the-go.
