Lion King Gift Set First Impressions

Here they are:

Man, nice set. I'm on the fence here, I never (and I mean never) buy gift sets, not even LOTR and I'm a total Jackson fan boy. I might grab this, though. For my girlfriend, of course

Just picked up the Gift Set at Best Buy. The crowd around the new releases table looked like lunch time at Pride Rock 
The book is very nice. 160 pages, hardbound with very nice prints and sketches from the movie. First half of the book is the story of how the movie came about. The rest is a storybook of the movie.
I thought the 9 character sketches were pretty cool. Each is enclosed in it's own slipcover.
The movie itself is absolutely gorgeous. The new Disney Home Theater Remix is great. I was impressed with the vocal clarity during the songs.
So, all in all, I'm pretty happy with it.

I plan to sell the PE in the gift set and get R2 UK version for about $24 shipped (THX and dts) or R4 Brazilian version for less than $20 shipped(dts). The only reason I am not getting the R3 Korean version (THX and dts) is that it is more expensive than R2 UK version and there will be Korean written all over it...
The results from R3 Taiwanese version (dts, no THX) is that the colors are not as rich as R1 and audio is not as defined as R1 (DD and THX)
