The bar code on the DVD case of my "Dr. No" from Big Lots is 027616-8123-2
and here is a link to DVDEmpire that matches that bar code- http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_ite...earchID=245284
I opened it up and the booklet is included and mint and the DVD itself is also perfect shape. Here are the extras listed on the back of the DVD-
"This Ultimate Special Editon of DR. No" includes-
Audio Commentary Featuring Director Terence Young, The Cast and Crew
"Inside Dr. No" Documentary

I stopped by the Independence MO Big Lots today hoping to pick up at least a couple of 007's.
Man,their DVD selection was pitiful

0 Bonds,a couple of Super Daves(i put this one on my Christmas list so I didn't buy it),Lord of the Ringers(??)and just a few others.
I was disappointed but not surprised since they had signs up all over the place announcing that they are closing and everything(i think)is 20% off.

The Blue Springs store was overflowing with Bond Monday. It looked like they had damn near every one, including multiple copies of most.

JJE-187 · 12-03-08, 09:18 PM

I bought all 20 Bonds and they all have booklets in case anyone was wondering.

The original box sets had keep cases and they looked identical to these discs at Big Lots. If I remeber correctly the keep cases in the original box sets were not sealed individualy and each booklet was included in the keep case. It is very possible these are from the original box sets

The store on 95th on the Kansas side is closing as well and had the signs up. Clerk said 3 stores were closing in the KC metro area. Probably no recent shipments cause dvds were depleted. Not a single Bond. I did pick up a few anime titles that I hadn't seen before. I'm going to check out the Nieman Rd location in Shawnee.

You are correct. That is how my "Volume 2" set was packaged.

MooMooMooMoo · 12-04-08, 09:23 PM

Another of the 3 BL's in my city got in 1 box of 30 HBO restocks. They told me they're expecting another batch of the $2.00 dvd's tomorrow. I'll post what they are as soon as i see them.

MooMooMooMoo · 12-05-08, 12:53 PM

I got to go through the new $2 batch. It's an assortment of Lion's gate/Artisan titles. I'll try to post some titles later this weekend. Short version is, I've never heard of 90% of the films, though many do have known actors. Absolutely nothing I was really excited by.

The only title I remember off the top of my head is a Special Edition of Shanghai Surprise (not the same as the standard edition BL had a few months ago).

Keith123 · 12-05-08, 05:45 PM

Went to the Big Lots in Huber Heights, OH and saw nothing new in DVD stock since last Black Friday. I've got a $10 off coupon from last weeks sale ready to use but same 'ol DVD's. They still have a chunk of Bonds left with multiples of some titles. Dang, I don't want to spend the $10 coupon on food or other stuff I need at Big Lots, I want to blow it on DVD's!

bipartite · 12-05-08, 09:11 PM

Went to Big Lots in Warner Robins GA today found alot of what everyone else has been seeing including all the Bonds. The only one I got that had not been mentioned was (the original) KIng Kong.

None of these at my local store. No Bonds either. Got 10 Warner. Would have got more but the only thing I hate more than snappers is snappers with their UPCs sliced!!! I got 1 snapper and the rest keep-cases.

MooMooMooMoo · 12-05-08, 10:49 PM

Here's a list of $2 Lions Gate/Artisan Xmas titles I saw:
A Christmas Carol (Hallmark TV 2004)
Hum Bug
Mr. St Nick
Chasing Christmas
Snow Queen (Hallmark)
Koala Brothers Outback Christmas

Will post non-xmas Lions Gate titles soon.

cinemaphile · 12-06-08, 01:10 AM

since about 40% of the posts in this thread concern The Notorious Bettie Page, i thought i'd just pass on that today the real Bettie Page had heart attack and is in a coma now.

DonTHX1378 · 12-06-08, 05:03 AM

Hit up 3 stores in the Fresno area to see if any of the 007 movies were left and there were none to be found.

BobO'Link · 12-06-08, 10:22 AM

Bonds are gone here too. Because of the way the local BL puts out sale items (Wed. ad items go out for Sunday sale!?!) there were only 4 on the shelf the day I visited and one of those was "hidden" with the regular DVDs. I'm hoping someone will put the "Ultimate Edition" sets on sale for ~$20 again this year as I was tapped out when that happened last year. With 5 films/set it works out to be the same price as BL but packaged in slim packs.

FYI - The Ultimate sets were on sale at Best Buy last week for $24.99, and are $29.99 this week. Two discs per movie, plus 2 movie tickets to see QoS on each package. May only be available in store, though.

I liked it........But then again, hot naked women tend to cloud my judgement.

Yes, I saw that in Speedy's BB ad post, but that's more than I'm willing to pay (even with the tickets as I have no interest in seeing anything in a theater anymore. Too many cell phones, rude people who feel the need to constantly talk, babies, noisy kids, etc...), plus sales tax and shipping kills it. The closest BB is over 80 miles from my house. Thanks anyway!

Eyes Wide Shut
Exorcist (25th Anniversary)
Gigi
Look, Up In the Sky: Amazing Story of Superman
Mighty Joe Young
Network
Petrified Forest

Stopped into my local BL to maybe grab a couple of Bonds (specifically DR NO and FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE), and when I walked in, I was passed by a woman on her way out who had just bought (according to a cashier I know) literally every copy of every Bond in the store.

Word spread like wildfire to the people going through the DVDs. I've never seen so many walk out of a store so quickly.

And they are probably all already on ebay. I did buy 20 of the $2 movies, half for me and half as stocking stuffers, so maybe she was too? But then again I did get specific things for specific people and not just grab them all.

Man, I hate it when people do that.

I hit the 3 BL's within driving distance here in NJ a few days ago.
S. Plainfield had no Bonds. A few Warner's.
Springfield had a few stray Bonds - mostly Moore's and Dalton's. No Warner's.
Clifton = no Warner's but a Bond jackpot! They had every film from Dr. No to Die Another Day. 2-3 of copies of each. I bought six of them:
Dr No.
From Russia With Love
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (this is the one I wanted most)
Diamonds Are Forever

Didn't buy Goldfinger cos I already have it. I really wish these had been the new frame-by-frame restoration versions - but I'm still happy to have them.

None of mine have title stickers, and they look like shrinkwrap instead of fold-cornered factory seal. I haven't opened any yet. I'd rather think they were from box sets than used. They should be marked as such if they are.

I haven't seen any other mention of this here, but the Springfield store had a few titles that were selling for $8, and were clearly marked as "previously viewed". I can't recall them all, but I know I saw Cloverfield and 3:10 To Yuma (Bale/Crowe).
