*****NEW $5 Wal-Mart DISPLAY*****

PPP · 06-20-07, 07:24 PM

They had the Special Editions mixed in on the shelf with the bare bones editions. Had around 4 or 5 copies of the Special Edition- both it and the bare bones are the same price. Just opened up the Special Edition and it's a pretty sweet package- has a comic book with it. Sign said 2 for $11 but everything I bought rang up as $5. Some of the other discs I can recall:
Wonderland
2 Disc Special Edition of The Doors
2 Disc Running Man
Open Water
Barbershop 2
The Ninth Gate
Sideways
Basic Instinct Special Edition
There were some more though I can't recall which titles. This was at the Wal Mart in Madison, NC.

Starting officially next week the 5.50 bin will be changing to just $5. So for a little while you will find some 5.50 titles mixed in. There are also alot of new titles coming in.

WEEDEDOUT · 06-21-07, 11:46 AM

thats pretty sick
the running man and escape from NY are crucial special editions.
i may have to make a stop at my local wal mart

matome · 06-21-07, 11:48 AM

Are these bins in all the Walmarts? I'm in the NYC area and the only one in the suburbs is in White Plains, which I've never been in.

chris_sc77 · 06-21-07, 02:32 PM

hmmm..they didnt have this display at my wal-mart however they had a new display of 2-pack 20th Century Fox DVD's for $8.xx. One of these two packs is From Hell/Swimfan(WS) but the interesting thing about this set is that the 2-disk "Limited Director's Edition" of From Hell is in this 2-pack which if I remember Correctly is OOP. If not this is still a good deal for the 2-disk set of from Hell.
Another strange thing about this display if that these packs feature 2 FS films, 2 WS films, or one FS film & one WS film.
what i can remember from this display:
Theres something (more) About Mary: Special Collector's Edition (2-disk FS)/Taxi (WS)
Big Momma's House (either 1 or 2?)/Fat Albert
Cheaper by the Dozen/Welcome to Mooseport
I, Robot (FS)/ Planet of the Apes(2001 1-Disk)
Sideways(FS)/Thank You For Smoking (FS)

rednowgreen · 06-21-07, 02:57 PM

Yeah I saw those to, but the only one I picked up From Hell/Swimfan.

p.s. It was Big Momma's House 2 packed w/ Fat Albert. Also my walmart had the 2-disc edition of Planet of the Apes(01) w/ I, Robot

ScissorPuppy · 06-21-07, 03:10 PM

There is also a Die Hard Wal Mart exclusive set.

9.96 you get
1. Ticket to LFODH
2. T-Shirt of LFODH
3. Fox summer 2007 disc

Anyone seen these around? Also some Paramont titles are packed with a transformers beachball

cranberries fan · 06-21-07, 03:40 PM

ScissorPuppy is that price right for Die Hard?and do have a pic?

ScissorPuppy · 06-21-07, 03:50 PM

My friend called me and told me about it, I have yet to check out my local wal mart yet.

9.96 gets you all 3 things, tickets, shirt and bonus disc. Heard it was just extended trailers though.

I glanced at the list at work but I don't have a good enough memory to be able to list them.

sandman007 · 06-21-07, 10:45 PM

American Psycho Killer Collector's Edition (WS)
A.I. 2-Disc Special Edition (FS)
T2 Extreme DVD

FangsFirst · 06-22-07, 12:05 AM

Can anyone else confirm the From Hell 2 disc?

Jeff Goodwin · 06-22-07, 08:48 AM

Definitely some good $5 disks. They were in the $5.50 bin.

I've picked up:

- Running Man SE
- Ninth Gate
- My Cousin Vinny Classic Edition? (had a cardboard sleeve)
- The Rainmaker
- Catch me if you can
- The Omen (Original)

I've also seen:

- Galaxy Quest
- Escape from NY
- Escape from LA
- POTA
- The Terminal
- Basic Instinct SE2
- AI
- T2 Extreme

PPP · 06-22-07, 10:12 AM

I'd like to get that From Hell 2 disc. Hope I come across that display.

Yes. I bought it this morning. $8.93 for that and Swimfan. I also bought that Die Hard set for 9.96. If you're planning on seeing the movie anyway, you might as well buy the set. It's basically a shirt and DVD of trailers for $1.50...

Same here. If I, Robot was WS I would have bought that set. Oh well... I wasn't a huge fan of Burton's POTA or I might have bought it anyway... But I never bought I, Robot, so that would have convinced me. Oh well...

FangsFirst · 06-22-07, 02:19 PM

Heh, I just confirmed the 2 disc From Hell myself. Got it!

Cheers, chris and ken.

I don't want swimfan at all, but eh, 8.93 for an OOP disc I wanted, I'm ok with that.

I was interested in the PoA 2 disc out of curiosity, but I have a violent desire NOT to purchase I, Robot...so...

Man, I wish Sideways/Thank You was WS...

I wonder if some discs were mis-packaged: I didn't find the special ed, so I picked up the bare-bones version, got it home, and found it didn't have the trailer (as listed on the case), but it *did* have two different commentaries (Carpenter/Russell and Hill/Alves) - neither of which are listed on the case.

Is this really disc one of the special ed? Packed as bare-bones?

Either way, I'm happy - the Carpenter/Russell commentary is what I was really after.

dollfins1 · 06-22-07, 10:07 PM

i saw the from hell/swimfan 2 pack but no escape from ny 2 disc which is what i went there to look for.

I posted in another thread concerning this. For some odd reason the barebones disc is really a repackaged Disc 1 from the SE version. The earlier barebones disc was a WS/FS flipper that included the trailer. Either way this is better because the Carpenter/Russell commentary is one of the better commentaries out there.

Brent L · 06-24-07, 01:26 AM

I saw all of these in the $5.50/$5.00 bin about an hour ago.

When I saw that the Escape From New York 2-disc was in there, I thought for sure it was a mistake, or some other customer just tossed it in, so I took it to get them to scan it. To my shock, it sure did scan at $5.00 after all. I took it back, I already have it, and saw two guys looking through the bin. I placed it on top, simply mentioned that it was only $5.00, and the guy picked it up and went and bought it right that minute.
