^^Unfortunately, this wasn't the case at my store in Mississippi. Based on your post, I high-tailed it to Walmart after work, scooped one up, and took it to a price-checking station. It was $39.96.

The trip wasn't a total bust, however. I got some sour watermelon-flavored Peeps that are kick-ass.

I checked my closest store tonight. Realized when I walked in, that I hadn't been in a Wal-Mart since the holidays.

I located the BD seasons for 2 & 3 and the empty shelf for the first season. Makes me wonder if they might have been cheap.

just checked walmart.com. s1 is now $55!
Maybe the sale ended on Sunday? Just at a few stores?

All I know is I double checked the price tag below the set and it clearly was marked (Games Of Thrones - Blu-Ray, Season 1. $7.88).

Of course, that is not to say that if I took it to the register it would have rung up $40.

Definitely one of the stranger pricing at walmart I have seen.

I picked up The Warriors in their $4.88 bin. I was never going to pick this up after all the bad reviews but for $5 why not? I guess the completist in me wants to own both versions.

DVDude!

Nooooo! Return it! Use it as a coaster! Play Frisbee with it! Anything but watch it. It's a travesty compared to the classic original cut. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

couldn't find a generic Walmart thread like this in blu-ray forum.

Amazing Spiderman w/ mask Walmart exclusive -- 9.96
Saving Private Ryan sapphire ed. (w/ slip!) -- 9.96

This is ringing up as 9.96??? http://www.walmart.com/ip/The-Amazin...creen/21684069

That'sAllFolks

yes. There is a new preorder for Amz Spiderman 2 (when does this hit theaters?). Anyway I saw 3 copies at the 2 WMs I visited yesterday, so it may be new.

Next week.

This one has been around a while & has 2055 posts as of 3/19/2014. I often think the store related ones that get reasonable traffic should be stickies so they are easily found. Enjoy.

Blu-ray bargains at Wal-Mart

banthafett

Agree that store threads should be stickies.

Anyways found the Remastered Fargo in dump bin for 7.88

Would a mod consider this thread appropriate as a stickie?

This was available last Black Friday at the same price. Great deal if you don't want the 3D version.

ASM is sealed on the inside. So if you just want the Spidey case, with bonus disc inside, you could buy it and sell ASM...

I did do a search before starting that other thread. Either I'm doing something wrong or the search function sucks.

b2net

Likely the search function as there are reports of it being flakey.... No biggie...

The 3D version of Amazing Spiderman with BD+DVD (not boxed) was available in the past for $10 (best buy $5 upgrade and save) just so people are aware.

I noticed a Godzilla endcap at the local Wal Mart, with $8 copies of Kraken Releasing/Section 23's three recent Blu-Ray releases: Godzilla Vs. Hedorah (Smog Monster), Godzilla Vs. Gigan (Monster Island), and Ebirah Horror of the Deep (Sea Monster).

I believe everything else was a DVD...Godzilla (1954) from Criterion, King King vs. Godzilla, King Kong Escapes, various 1989-2004 Sony Godzilla double features, and some other creature films tossed in. Returning later today for another look.

If that's true that's a great price for them. I just bought the Smog Monster, Gigan, and Sea Monster sets for $8.99 from BN.com the other day. I saw the double disc sets of the other movies (Mechagodzilla/Space Godzilla, etc) for $12.96 on Blu-ray the other day, but none of the others. I'll have to check it out.

No go at my store in Northeast Mississippi--I only found two of the Sony double-features on Blu and the original on DVD...nothing else. The original is a re-release from Classic Media (NOT the Criterion version), which identifies the original Japanese cut as coming out in 1964 and the American version as debuting in 1966. To paraphrase a line from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, doesn't anybody fucking FACT CHECK any more?

ppawuk

I noticed that Amazon just lowered the price of the double-feature Godzilla blu-rays to $10.99 if anyone's interested.

ppawuk

Ha! Anything to save a buck!

darkhawk

GAMER 3D is $7.90.

Hehe, I was put off when I realized Classic Media translated 1/5 or less of the opening credits. Reminded me of a person doing live closed captioning, becoming overwhelmed by the source material, and then just giving up. I haven't seen Criterion's version yet, but hopefully they didn't miss a beat.

I was right about the three Kraken releasing Blu's and finally bought them last night, but there wasn't anything else on Blu. Weird that Wal-Mart mixes it up so much. For anybody interested, here's the whole endcap:


There was also a cardboard "flap" on the left side, sporting the Criterion Godzilla artwork.

now it's 9.96 online.
