There’s been a lot of talk going around this week about the “ultimate” edition of The LEGO Movie on DVD/Blu Ray, but I wanted to wait until as many facts as possible about the release came out before discussing it. Well, we still don’t have complete details, but I think it’s time to talk about The LEGO Movie “Everything is Awesome Edition” release! The set will include The LEGO Movie is four formats and a brand-new, exclusive LEGO Vitruvius minifigure–but will the LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome edition be a store exclusive itself…?

I don’t know a single person who saw The LEGO Movie and didn’t think it was a bona fide masterpiece, so I imagine that most people reading this entry saw the movie, loved it, and can’t wait to bring home a hard copy of it! You’ll have a chance to do that late this summer, when The LEGO Movie is released in all major formats!

While LEGO and Warner Bros. have yet to officially release details regarding the home video release of The LEGO Movie, we’ve already learned a number of details via early listings for the The LEGO Movie. Amazon has the best price around for the LEGO Movie Blu Ray/DVD/3D Bluray/Ultraviolet Digital Copy combo pack at $29.99–$15 off the MSRP.

This week, we also learned that the “special” edition of the LEGO Movie will be entitled “The LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome Edition” and will include the LEGO Movie DVD, Blu Ray, 3-D Blu Ray, Digital Copy and an exclusive Vitruvius minifigure. It’s unknown if this edition is the same one being sold on Amazon for $30 (I strongly suspect it is), but Walmart is pre-selling the “Everything is Awesome Edition” with exclusive minifigure for about $42 (which is, quite frankly, a lot more than I want to spend).

The exclusive LEGO Movie Blu Ray minifigure is a LEGO Movie Prologue Vitruvius minifigure. This figure variant represents Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman) as he appeared at the beginning of the movie (before he was blind). While the attire on the concept art we’ve seen above of the actual LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome Edition Vitruvius figure doesn’t look entirely accurate, keep in mind that that’s only concept art. I’m sure the final production Vitruvius Prologue minifigure will be fully authentic to his appearance in the actual LEGO movie.

At this time LEGO is not officially confirming the Prologue Vitruvius minifigure’s existence or where it will be available, but for this type of major release, I really don’t expect the figure to be a store exclusive. I’ll post am update when specific release details for the Everything is Awesome Edition LEGO Movie are known, and you can ‘Like’ Bricks and Bloks on Facebook to have news and rumors beamed right to your Facebook Newsfeed.

Are you excited for the LEGO Movie Vitruvius exclusive minifigure, LEGO fans, or is there a different character or variant you were hoping for to commemorate the release of The LEGO Movie on DVD/Blu-Ray? If the exclusive Vitruvius only comes with a $40+ edition of The LEGO Movie Blu Ray, will you still even want one?
