I'm wondering if there's a general day for all the stores to refresh their merch.

After visiting about 12 over time, I think they put them out whenever they want with no regard to timing.... any day.. any time of day.... good luck in the hunt.....

I've seen that one for $3.

Just found,

Roots Complete (as mentioned above) $10

Flintstones S1, S2, S3 for $3 each
Topcat Complete Series $3
Josie & the Pussycats Complete Series $3
Wacky Races Complete Series $3
Popeye The Sailor Vol. 1 1933-1938 $3
Tracey Takes On Season 1 $3

Also saw Lois & Clark S1 & S3 $3 each
Murphy Brown S1 $3

Just a warning to anyone who was "flipping" these titles at FYE, they have drastically changed their trade in values on all the WB boxsets.

I was in the local store (Atlanta,Ga) earlier today and someone was trading in some sets listed here. I don't remember all of them but he had Roots, Wonder Woman complete series and History of rock n roll. He had some others but I wasn't looking that well. Anyways, FYE was offering 3 dollars for these titles. The guy was having a fit lol, he thought he was going to get A LOT more than that! It was funny, because they guy kept asking "Please scan it again, that can't be right!".

So I don't know if FYE's trade value has dropped because of massive trades of these titles, or if someone at FYE got wise and told the higher ups. I did notice this store had 2 used copies of Roots for 35 bucks!

HOly shit. What a buy? Anyone know the list price.

I'd say since the singles list for around $65 each, this lists for at least $200 assuming this is the set.

[kenbenobi]

That's funny. Well, secondspin.com still shows the same prices as before, but that doesn't always match the in-store prices. I thought about trading some in, but decided it wasn't worth the effort. Now I'm glad I didn't...

So who's hosting the DVD Talk party in Ohio?----------------

[PhantomBill]

Picked up some of the New $3 Restock

Flinstones
Topcat
Dastardly & Muttley
Lois and Clark S1 - S4
Popeye Vol 1
Veronica Mars S2

[TropicalRobot]

Good lord, just when we thought it couldn't get crazier. I just hit 4 stores in Louisville KY, only one had any good stuff. Grabbed a lot there, hit 3 others and struck out, then went back to the original store about 90 minutes later and they were almost picked clean of the $3 HB stuff other than some Flintstones. BUT they had put out Popeye, which wasn't there earlier.

Picked up a few extras strictly for trading with fellow DVD Talkers- I'll be posting some of these over in the trade thread for those interested.

$3 each
Wacky Races
Dastardly and Mutley
Popeye Vol 1
Josie and The Pussycats
Birdman & Galaxy Trio
Pebbles and Bamm Bamm
Jacques Cousteau River Explorations
Larry King - Greatest Interviews
Flintstones 1,2 & 3
Lois and Clark Season 1

$10
Roots Box Set (no Imax or Kubrick yet)

I can't be the only one who has the feeling I'll be dead in the cold ground before I get the time or inclination to even begin to watch half of this stuff, but these HB sets for $3 are just insane.

[joltman]

Here I was happy to find the Blade complete series in York, PA, only to come and see some of the RIDICULOUS deals people are finding now. It would be freaking amazing to find that Looney Tunes set! I'm contemplating going to the other two semi-local stores tomorrow (about half-hour away)

[alfonsosoriano]

Hmm, might take a ride out. I don't expect to find anything, but I'm bored, it's beautiful out, and I could go for a nice ride.

You obviously didn't check West Wing S2

[lewisb73]

I was happy to have found Smallville 7 on Blu along with one of the Thundercats sets I didnt have... then I see all this... can vouch for them being nowhere in the area I am currently at... and Ive checked about 6 stores today... would love the Looney Tunes set... among others... for MYSELF

[Mr. Reindeer]

grabbed Ride the High Country today. It's WB and not slashed.

In the checkout line they had coupons for this Sunday's 20% off sale, so I might return what i've bought recently, not much really, and pick'em up again on Sunday.

The store also had, The Wild Bunch, and some classic musicals they hadn't had before (some titles mentioned by others recently), and Quick Change which I had not seen here yet. Only a couple of each including RtHC. Looks like they added a cardboard tray to the pallet they had last week. It was mostly the same stuff from last week, though they did have sets still. Including the apparently hard to find Pinky, and Thundercats sets, only 1st vol. for both. Oh yeah and they had about 8 Lakers sets.

$10 sets for $8 soon? I'd like to speculate on hopefully seeing the Warner's Scorsese, Noir series and Gangster's series sets!

Please post your findings. I'm interested to see what the CT stores have to offer.

[Toddarino]

I've pretty much given up on my search for Wonderwoman, Thundercats and Blade. All my store got today was a large selection of kids dvds.

[That'sAllFolks]

Does anyone have a link to the 20% off coupon for ths Sunday?

[Sammy Banderas]

Regarding the new WB dvd box set discoveries ... WOW!!! JUST WOW!!! So much for eating for the rest of the month .. lol!

[drew4824]

If anyone finds ANY extra Hannah Barbera $3 set pm and I can look for something you may need or I could just buy them.

[Chop2Chip10]

Only east coast? Really? Only 1 of my 4 Big Lots put out a huge selection of $6 seasons, the other 3, so so selection.

[tsetse27]

feel like it is more fun searching for these bargain, than actually watching the DVD itself... )

I picked up a few Warner titles which I am interested but will never pay full price for them...

I am sure I will spend a lot more $ at Biglot (well if I can find all the titles I want) than DD 25% sale...

[for_reels]

Is it time for a new thread? Big Lots Part 5? This one is 50+ pages now.

[jsz1002]

Does Warner Bros. own Big Lots or something? How are these 3 dollar box set prices even possible!?

Yep. Thats it. It even has the 5 collectible pins.
Only found one copy and snatched it up quick.

I went to 3 stores today. no luck at any except for the first store in my crappy lil town.
I would love to find Seasons 2-4 or Lois and Clark and others.

[PopcornBandit]

I have got to check a couple of local Big Lots after work tomorrow! I hope I can find that Space Ghost & Dino Boy. Stanley Kubrick Collection and the Tales from the Crypt seasons.
