Martin Scorsese Collection $13.00 at Walmart YMMV

Was looking for the 2 disc Zodiac (which I found) when I saw this. It's the set with Who's That Knocking on My Door/ Mean Streets/ Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore/ After Hours/ and Goodfellas.

Does that mean these are all $13? If so, amazing deals....

And is that the 8-disc Die Hard with all 4 movies, the 6-disc with the first 3, or one of the other sets?

Yeah, From what i remember they were all $13 each. The Die Hard set was the Ultimate Collection for the first three Die Hard films. It looks exactly like the Silver Ultimate Collection that was released in 2001 but this box was black instead and had three thin slimcases. I'm going to get a better look at the set tomorrow to make sure if they are the SE's.

I made a mistake about the Die Hard set, It's actually the Die Hard Trilogy not the Ultimate Collection. Judging from the spine of the case it looks like these are the original releases not the SE's.

3 Disc (Mean Girls / Clueless / She's the Man)

Half expecting the YMMV to fully apply to me, Wal-Mart in Joisy looked like the plague hit. Lo and behold though, the Scorsese set was sitting towards the bottom of the rack with the most copies of any set left. Guess Wally World shoppers don't know quality and bang for their buck (no surprise there). Also picked up the Frank Sinatra: The Golden Years set for $13. I figured it was worth it for The Man with the Golden Arm alone. Many, many thanks OP, was considering ordering the Scorsese set on Amazon for $23, so you saved me there too!

Thanks so much for this post! I had recently sold my Scorsese set due to hard times, but picked it up again for a bit of pocket change!

Wasn't mentioned on here, but i picked up the budget set of Man with no Name Trilogy (Eastwood) for 13 bucks. The sergio leone trilogy is much better looking, but also at least double the price!

I owned all but one of the movies. Found someone who needed the rest (my father, as it happens) and so that one was free for me!

For comparison's sake, here's what Best Buy is selling the individual titles in the various collections:

Martin Scorsese Collection
After Hours: $16.99
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore: $16.99
Goodfellas: $19.99
Mean Streets: $9.99
Who's That Knocking At My Door: $14.99
Total Savings: $66

National Lampoon's Vacation Package
National Lampoon's Vaction: $14.99
National Lampoon's European Vacation: $9.99
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: $14.99
National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation: $9.99
Total Savings: $37

Eddie Murphy Collection
48 Hours: $12.99
Beverly Hills Cop: $6.99

Total Savings: $16

Mission Impossible Collection
Mission Impossible: Collector's Edition: $9.99
Mission Impossible II : $4.99
Mission Impossible III: $9.99
Total Savings: $12

In compiling these prices, I'm assuming that the Goodfellas in the Scorsese Collection is the 2-disc and the MI:3 in the MI set is the 1-disc. If it's different, let me know and I'll edit this post accordingly.

they also had the X-Men trilogy at my local wal-mart. I ripped open a package to see if they were ws or fs because the guy working didn't know. They were all anamorphic wide.

I spotted the Dr. Dolittle 3-pack.

Does anyone know if any of the box sets are missing special features present on the individual releases?
