Big Lots (B&M) $3.99 Anime
too excited to do adequate search through previous posts, but
just got back from Big Lots where they had a couple dozen anime titles from Pioneer:
(assorted volumes)
Heat Guy J
Lain
Captain Harlock
Gad Guard
The SoulTaker
this was the selection I saw, but they were all $3.99!
also pick up Looker on VHS for $1.99 (when is this coming out on dvd???)

Looker (http://imdb.com/title/tt0082677/), yep, the one where Finney borrows William Shatner's toupee...

I just went to 4 BigLots.
In total, like 20 series are represented, but only AT MOST 2 dvd's from any single series were in stock among 4 BigLots.
Not worth the time unless you are particularly looking for a single DVD to fill holes in your collection. No majority of series, by a long shot.
In other words, not worth starting a new series just to get a good deal on 1 or 2 volumes.

Sugar: A Little Snow Fairy
Heat Guy J
Vandread, Vandread 2
El Hazard, El Hazard: Wanderers
L/R
Trouble Chocolate
Someday's Dreamers
Nazca
Like 1 volume from each of those, 2 from Vandread (out of 4 stores), and it's always the same 1 or 2 volumes. Lame.
Basically the same stuff that's already been in various sales already.

Okay. I made a bigger sweep of the area's BigLots (filthy east LA has a ton, because BigLots are put in filthy places).
Upon visiting 13 BigLots, exactly 5 had anime. 2 of the 5 had less than 3 titles.
I went ahead and bought any anime I didn't currently have, trying to complete sets.
Here are the titles I bought:
Chobits 2, 6, 7
Someday's Dreamers 1, 2
L/R 1, 4
El Hazard 2
PatLabor WXIII movie (normal edition)
Vandread 4
Vandread 2nd Runner 1, 4
Mahoromatic 3
Mahoromatic More 1, 3
Nazca 2
Master Keaton 1, 2, 4
Mini-Goddess 3, 4
Sol Bianca 3
Mao Chan 1, 2
Wanderers 3, 4
Gad Guard 1, 2
Heat Guy J 1, 4
Magical Project S 1
Ai Yori Aoshi 4, 5
Armitage Dual Matrix (Limited Edition)
Armitage Poly-Matrix (Signature Series)
Sakura Wars the movie (Limited Edition with pencil boards) -- *heavy*
Niea_7 3
Hyper Dolls
I am returning about half of these.
I also saw various:
Lain
Sherlock Hound
Haibane Renmei
Trigun
Sugar: A Little Snow Fairy
Beyblade
at a BigLots in Riverside, CA, but I didn't buy them since I either have them or wasn't interested.

I don't remember where I found Vandread 2nd Stage 4 (maybe the one in 91786). I'm taking mine back though, so if you want it maybe I can send it to you or tell you where I took it back (when I do).
