Do you know if they had the Wonder Woman complete series set there? That's the only one that I'm really interested in, but I haven't been able to find it yet.

[NCC1701E]

Nothing new at the lone Big Lots here. I'm really wanting to find those Dallas seasons and maybe the Scooby and Justice League as well.

Looks like some of the same season sets are showing up at Rite Aid, as I found Wonder Woman S1 & S2, The Dukes of Hazzard S4 and The OC S2 today at one location. Didn't buy any of them though. They are higher at $9.99 each, but that's still a great deal for a whole season IMO.

[Lokimok]

Nothing new at my local, but they did have a little table set up in the front to sign up for the BuzzClub. Could another 20% off coupon be on the horizon (4th of July weekend) or is this wishful thinking?

[cinemaphile]

Just got the new ads emailed to me (BuzzClub), but no sign of a coupon (and no mention of any dvd deals)

Not really. I went to 5 different BLs to find that only 2 had any stock at all. So, all of those are from 2 stores. And only 1 of those had decent stock. Other only had 1-2 copies of the titles I found there - looked like it had already been "stale".

[moklerman]

Actually, now that I say that are people finding season two of Thundercats? I saw a lot of season one but none of two.

[Trevor]

Sterling had no blu rays or TV seasons.

[Boba Fett]

I grabbed a copy of Roots: 30th Anniversary Edition for $6. They had about 10 copies along with a handful of copies of Smallville S4, Six Feet Under S3, and a shelf full of Life Goes On S1

I've noticed that in the past. I've always attributed it to people returning impulse buys.

Same here. Also looking for the ER S3 DVD box.
I was in the BL closest to me today & asked the manager about these. He claimed he had no idea BL's were even getting them in. I wonder if it's intentionally regional, or just random.

Somewhat OT (?)...Found an interesting score today elsewhere. I was in a store called A.J. Wright, which is primarily a closeout clothing store. They had a shelf of DVD's. Many of the standard BL titles. Priced from $3 to $6. They had a few DVD box sets @ $9.99 apiece. I recall a "Friends" box and "Nip/Tuck" S4. Then...there it was: The BluRay box of "Nip/Tuck" S4. Also $9.99. Wish they would also have had Smallville...but I grabbed that "Nip/Tuck" in half a heartbeat nevertheless.
Wonder why Warners is dumping BluRay boxes at these closeout places...

[Badmojo]

Also found "Puddle Cruiser" at my 2 locations. Dismissed it at first, thinking the cover art was "Get It On" or something.

I haven't seen it, either.

If they had it I definitely would have bought it.

Would you be willing to mention which store?

[boc4ever]

Double Whammy is a good find. The TV box sets assortment is unbelievable!

[cardsfan111]

It's amazing how the selection can vary from store to store. I hit a handful of locations. At one store, it appeared as if they hadn't seen any new titles in weeks. At another, it would like they didn't have room to display everything they had and it was piled together like the Wal-mart $5 bin.

Found many of the animated sets previously seen, but none of the "regular" tv show seasons. Picked up extras of several sets for those having trouble finding what they want. Check here for a list.

Gresham, OR.

The store is a disaster though with all the DVD stuffed on some small portable displays. Plenty of Bond left as well.

Saw them for the same price at Giant Grocery stores lately as well.
