Extremely YMMV - local Walmart has Tru Calling & some other series for $20 each

[Christi P]

My local Walmart, which is in Houston in the Webster/Clear Lake area (on I-45 and El Dorado) had Tru calling season one for $20. They had a whole rack of DVD sets for $20 - I did not write them all down, but from what I can recall, they had Cheers, seasons 1&2, Frasier 1&2, NYPD Blue, Mash 1&2, and early seasons of Will & Grace and the 70's show.

I bought Tru calling. I did not price check the other series, but from what I could see, it looked they were all $20 each.

They did NOT have the recent Buffy sale reported in another thread - the new Buffy slim-packs are $30 each.

I saw this Tuesday. It may be last a while. I use to work in electronics and was talking to my co-workers on Tuesday, and they said the movie mod had just changed, so it may be part of that. if thats the case, a mode can last around 3 months.

When Wal-Mart completes a mod for movies/games it's usually done in one night. They prep for maybe 2 days, but the moving of old movies to new spots and the deletions are all taken care of usually overnight and done. All of the deletions are then sent out through the claims department back to the studios.

Heh.
Depending on the dept. mgr...

I've had one (and one after I left wally) that insisted on doing them during the day (!)...

[stingermck]

yeah we always did our during the day, over around 3 days :)

And when i said it last three months, i meant that thats how long they sell these particular movies, not that it takes that long to complete.

Add Season 1 of Hill Street Blues

[RustyOrgan]

Anyone spot this in the Northern, Virginia area??

[fleegs]

I picked up King of Queens Season 1. They also had Married with Children S1 & 4 and Knight Rider S1 & 2.

[sirbrady]

I saw Married with Children S4 at Walmart also. Better than DDD even with the 20%.

[kenbenobi]

Futurama S1 and S2 as well... Good Times seasons were only $15 each at my store!

[GMan2819]

This deal was available at the two Manassas, VA stores.

[TexasDVDer]

Some of these prices can be beat right now with the DDD 20% off sale. The ones I checked were Frazier S2, Grey's Anatomy S1 and Night Court S1. Hill Street Blues S1 was less expensive at Wal-Mart. I didn't check any of the others.

[RustyOrgan]

Hey GMAN - Is this display up yet in Fair Lakes or Burke VA??
Don't know, haven't been to either for a couple weeks. Will probably take a look today though. BTW, the two Manassas stores didn't have a special display up, they had them on the end cap in the electronics dept by the TVs.

[RustyOrgan]

GMAN - Thanks for the update on ManASSASS. It's hard to get psyched about driving out there when the Fair Lakes location is down the street...

[Spez]

Great. Right when I want to take a break from buying DVDs, this comes up with some titles that I'd really like to get.

[Silkk_34]

They had Night Court season 1

[bulldozer3]

mine in Jacksonville, FL had those plus King of the Hill s1 and s2 for 19.99, and tru calling s2. i picked up KOTH 1,2, tru calling s1. Will prolly go back for Futurama s1 and s2.

Didnt pick up Tru Calling s2 since its cheaper at DDD during 20% off sale.

[rkndkn]

Didnt pick up Tru Calling s2 since its cheaper at DDD during 20% off sale.

Tru Calling S2 is even cheaper at Amazon right now -- $13.47.

Just came back from the FairLakes and Burke stores. Both stores also had them on the endcaps by the TVs.

[BKenn01]

All Wal-Marts in my local area have this deal. There was a rep from whoever Wal-Mart buys from in the store I happened to be at yesterday. They were out of 70's s3, I asked if they would be getting more in, he said absolutley they will be restocking this rack.

My guess is Wal-Mart is trying to compete with the many B1G1 and other deals out there.

[RustyOrgan]

Just returned from Fair Lakes, VA location.

Thanks for the list & prices. I'll have to go check it out at my local Wally World.

[jimbo504]

i was at my local walmart today and picked up seasons 1-3 of That 70's Show for $20 each. if you're lucky your's might have more than the first 3 seasons.

[xNightfallx]

Damn, I just got these during the DDD sale for about $28 each...that sucks.

[Inhumans99]

I suspect this is a YMMV situation, because the web-site shows S1, and 3 for $36.88, and S2 for $39.88.

There's actually another thread here that lists these and the others as part of the $20 Boxset endcap now at Walmarts. Its been at all three of the three Wal-Marts I went to looking for L&C S2 last week.

Oh, is it an endcap and not a display then?
That might clarify why my local store (a small-ish one) does not have it...

[John*D]

Picked up '70s show S3.

[Liquid Death]

all three that i've seen have been on a back endcap of the DVD section facing the wall o' TVs. that may be YMMV in terms of placement, but that seems to be the pattern, at least in NC.

Oh, hey, where in NC?

I'm out in Durham, but occasionally make it out to Hillsborough. And perhaps various other places if I go visit my parents or anything.

I've been to the two in GSO (Battleground/Wendover) and one in W-S (Hanes Mall).

[WhiteRob]

My Wal-Mart also had The White Shadow Seasons 1 & 2 for $20 each. Very tempting.

Cheers!
perhaps I'll visit my friends in boone and stop in W-S or something...

[Billyspunk]

Sorry I have to ask...What does YMMV mean? I see this often and have no idea what it means....

[IDrinkMolson]

YMMV = Your Miles May Vary. (you might be able to find it, you might not)

I saw NYPD 1 & 2 with a regular shelf tag. It looked to me like that was the regular price. There was no signage for anything. I can't comment on the other ones since I wasn't interested in them and didn't look at them.

Thanks for the info, I learned something new today and it has been bugging me since I joined here...THANKS!

Mine has the first 4 seasons but only the first 3 are $20 each. Season 4 is around $35 (don't remember exactly, just know it wasn't $20).

These, and the others, were not on a endcap but in the regular TV set display area. The endcap was empty and looked to have had Fathers' Day specials when it was stocked.

[John*D]

Saw Vol's 1-5 of Garfield & Friends were lowered to $19.96 each, which is about $5 less than what they use to be... YMMV? Good luck...

[JP5683]

My friend picked up 5 sets at the store in Lompoc, CA, if anyone's thinking of going there... Nothing I'm interested in is on sale though...

[lewisb73]

damn, I am all over KOTH season 2 (have 1,3 and 5) and Knight Rider S2

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

Thanks for the info, I learned something new today and it has been bugging me since I joined here...THANKS!

It is actually Your <i>Mileage</i> May Vary - which is what the car manufacturers always say after quoting the EPA mileage estimates for their cars, which are for very specific, non-real world situations.

Is Tru Calling still on sale for $20?

Still going on at my walmart, granted the selection is picked thin, but it's still there (and occassionally restocked).

I saw season 2 for $20, but season 1 is at the regular price. YMMV

Thanks for the information.
