Big Lots Part 4

[cracksky]

I haven't seen anyone mention the 50 Movie Pack sets from Mill Creek which have 50 public domain films on 12 double-sided discs. $9 each. Saw an 80 Pack too. Even if you like only 2 or 3 films in each set, it's probably worth the price. Horrible transfers but some rare movies.

[AmityBoatTours]

Definately want to pick up a copy of the looney toons set.
as well as the tales from the crypt seasons.
I only own a total of 10 dvds now(as i really only watch High Def for the most part)
but at only 3 dollars a set, and the likelyhood that tales from the crypt will never be in hd definately got to pick those up.

hopeing that one day they will put the batman the animated series complete set at big lots.

Here's the Amazon Link to the set.

The distribution of the Lakers set is not limited to the west coast. That said, it does seem to be a a little bit rarer than some other sets from my experience. I've been to 9-10 stores in Indiana & Kentucky and found the Lakers set at 1 or 2 of 'em

But isn't that exactly what FYE is doing?

For anyone interested, the Season 1 set of "Murphy Brown" contains another of the Warner Bros. 50 Years of TV commemorative discs.
This one is Volume 2 and contains 1 episode of "My Sister Sam" with Pam Dauber, David Naughton and Rebecca Shaeffer along with 1 episode of "Room For Two" with Linda Lavin, Patricia Heaton and Andrew Prine.

^ I picked up 2 copies of this - one to keep, one to trade. Noticed when I got home that one of them had a sticker on the front indicating a "bonus" disc was inside. Wonder if it's in copies or just the ones with the sticker on the front?

I remember how FYE employees used to tell me their rule of thumb was that they turn around and sell DVDs for about 4x what they paid, so $3 would mean we should be seeing these WB sets all sell for $12 used at FYE, right...? Dream on... FYE will probably still price them for the same ridiculous amounts as always.

Don't give FYE too much credit a few years back they had a bin of $4.99 CDs and if you bought one cd the second cd was a penny.The cd I bought for a penny was a 2cd live set and after about 2 weeks I traded it back in to FYE and they gave me $10 Bucks for it !!!!!!

Happy to get a Popeye boxed set for $3...but wow, sure wish I could score those Looney Tunes collections. I'll try to check back in another few days to see if they put out some more title....

I say losing money is great KARMA for those people.

halleluah smithee! all I was trying to say is that seeing those horders lose money and thier efforts winding up being totally in vein really is true justice, let them pay for thier greed. my local big lots had like 20 copies of history of rock n roll and when I went back the next day they were all gone, and one store employee told me one guy bought every one of them, I would laugh my butt off to see the look on his face when fye offers him half of what he just paid, or he post them up on ebay and see them going for less than what he paid.

[statcat]

wow my big lots selection (clifton NJ) is really terrible, guess it goes to show dvds really cost nothing to make as well considering the prices these are selling at.

[Vryce]

I'd love finding a Looney Tunes set as well.. Going to look at 2 Big Lots today for that set as well as Animaniacs Vol 1 and 3 as well as Pinky & The Brain vol 3.

Thank you so much for posting this. I made a trip to both of these stores last night and picked up the following:

$10
Stanley Kubrick collection (there was still 1 copy left at both locations)
Looney Tunes Golden Collection vol. 6 (I bought the only copy I saw)

$6
Dukes of Hazzard season 1 and 2 (picked up the only copies of each that I saw, for trading purposes. I didn't recall if anyone had found these)

$3
Tales from the Crypt seasons 3, 4, 5, and 6
Adventures of Superman season 2 (George Reeves)
Appleseed Ex Machina steelbook
Popeye 1933-1938

I also saw the $10 NFL set, the $10 Roots set, most of the $3 Hanna Barbera sets, Lois and Clark seasons 1-3, Tracy Takes On... season 1, Everwood season 1 (I think it was season 1), and the War at Home season 1.

I was thrilled to find the Kubrick set as I have been eyeing that for a while. I was going to pick up an NFL set for trade but it is HEAVY -- wasn't sure how much it would cost to ship that one.

I will be posting an updated trade list in the Exchange forum so keep checking there. Happy hunting everyone, and thanks to all who are posting their finds!

Best post of the thread!


I thought that WW Complete was an awesome deal but that Looney Tunes Collection is UNREAL. Hitting several big lots today and if I find any extra I'll put them on here for trade.

Sadly I don't think I'll find even one...

[Quatermass]

I really feel stupid for paying $30 for that Popeye set last year.
I made my daily stop at the Midwest City, OK store on the way home from work last night. It was mostly the same stuff as before. They had rearranged everything and maybe put out a few more single DVDs but still no Roots, Wild Bunch, Right Stuff, Big Red One, Popeye, Looney Tunes, or any Blu-Rays or other rarities.

[TropicalRobot]

Went back to another store today and found Flintstones season 5. The very helpful and nice store manager told me they had Looney Tunes, Super Bowl and Kubrick megasets yesterday morning and I missed them (no Imax that he could recall though). Also said they had all 6 Flintstones, Huckleberry Hound, Top Cat etc. They had a huge restock of Popeye today too. Keep looking folks, there's lots to go around it seems.

Also saw Everwood Season 1 for $3, that was new to me. (oops, I see Infusion07 already listed it)

Picked up a Roots box for my mom last night and sure enough it's scratched pretty badly--but most of the time unless they are serious deep scratches they will play fine, so I guess I'll hang onto it. With that shitty packaging $10 should have been the original MSRP.

One guy I was talking to said this may be fallout from the Circuit City bankruptcy and that's why we're seeing such insane deals. I hadn't even thought of that...

How crazy is it that suddenly $6 season sets don't seem like quite as great a deal now. This is even better than the Camelot laserdisc clearance frenzy.

I remembered that!

May I ask where is the BL you mentioned about?

[kenbenobi]

I didn't find anything in my stores, but my friend in CA scored me a bunch of stuff:
Seasons 2-6 of Tales From the Crypt
Flintstones S2 and S4 (they saw a S5 but it was opened, so I passed--in hindsight, for 3 bucks I shoulda just got it)
Josie and the Pussycats
Top Cat
Dastardly & Muttley
Wacky Races
Lois & Clark S3 and S4
Pebbles and bamm bamm
Popeye Vol 1
Wonder Woman The complete Collection
Super Bowl XXI-XXX
2 of Adventures of Superman Season 2 (one for my Dad)
2 of Adventures of Superman Season 5 & 6 (one for my Dad)

I hope to score some of these here still so I don't have to pay for shipping (that box is gonna be HEAVY) but I'm just happy that I'm guaranteed to get that much stuff in case I can't find them here...

Louisville KY

[RJ MacReady]

Haven't found any of the insane box set deals here in Mississippi, anyone in the deep south seen 'em?

Did pick up a few titles anyway:

He Knows You're Alone
A Stranger is Watching
Of Unknown Origin
The Wind and the Lion

BUT THE REAL NEWS IS... the cashier gave me a 20% off coupon good for this Sunday from 5-9 p.m.... anybody else gotten one?

The supervisor at the Clinton Twp MI store said they will be honoring the coupon all day, not just 5-9 pm. as the coupon states.

Probably not a bad idea to ask the stores you visit and see if any are doing the same. You would have a much better chance to get what you're looking for when everyone else is waiting until 5pm.

i opened a case when i scored my big find and all the copies of the Flintstones season #5 in the case were not sealed. they were brand new with all the disks mint but they box had no shrinkwrap.
