Here's the response I got:

Hello,

I've checked the "The LEGO Movie (DVD + UltraViolet Combo Pack) (2014)" in our website and verify that at this point of time the item is temporarily out of stock, and we're not sure when we'll be able to get more. I sincerely apologize for this situation.

I gave a list of Warner titles due out in the next several weeks during an online chat session, and got the same response as Mark did.

I double-checked this, and it is weird. The 3D version zooms in to 1.78:1 right after the Warner and Village Roadshow logos, but the 2D is totally random. Sometimes it is in 2.40:1 throughout, other times it zooms in just like the 3D version. Granted, i did not purchase this title on VUDU, I am only checking the free 2-minute and 10-minute previews that VUDU offers.

The 10-minute preview of the 2D version appears to be 2.40:1 throughout, but the 2-minute preview zooms to 1.78:1 just like the 3D preview does.

I'm just lucky I pre-ordered POINT BLANK and THE TIME MACHINE the day they went on sale.

I bought it when it first became available but I hadn't gotten around to watching it until a couple of days ago. As of then, the 2D version is indeed 1.78:1 throughout. In their aspect ratio discussion thread, Vudu claims they are working on fixing it. Strange that they would get a different master from the studio than iTunes did.

Warner has been doing some strange things with their Digital HD versions, with inconsistency between retailers. CinemaNow and Target have been getting stereo audio only from Warner on most of their titles since "Gravity," while VUDU has been getting 5,1 audio consistently.
