Re: Big Lots Part 5
I guess I'll try and hit the store again tommorow. I'm wondering what the store hours are. I can't seem to find them on the official website and even a google search didn't help me out. I know they close earlier on Sunday, but I'm not sure when they open.

Sunday hours are typically (based on the stores I frequent) 10 am - 6 pm. However, tomorrow night is a Friends & Family night and 20% off coupons have been distributed in person/via e-mail for use between 5 pm & 9 pm.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
This page shows most stores being open 10-6 on Sunday, but I believe they are open later tomorrow because of Friends & Family night.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
I have movie bucks that I got from WalMart's re-release of the HP films so I might as well put them to good use even though I already saw HP on opening night. It's worth a second viewing though I think.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Seen a bunch of Wonder Woman Season 3s at multiple stores, but no complete set or 1 or 2 by themselves. Will probably grab whatever Dukes of Hazzard seasons there are tomorrow with the coupon- I already got #2 last week and had to watch a couple episodes right away because one side of one disc looked defective, but it turned out to be OK. It's as insanely stupid as I remember, but hella lot more entertaining now.
I already got the theatrical version of Empire Records before it went out of print- I liked it enough to want to get the extended version but I'm afraid they'll end up putting out a Blu-Ray disc later with both versions on it- same for Not Another Teen Movie. My rule has been not to buy anything on regular DVD that is out or scheduled to come out on Blu-Ray, but a bunch of titles have come out that I didn't think had much of a chance.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
((Tri-Cities,WA))--We have not gotten any of those $3 dvd sets or those $10 box-sets as of July 18th.
So far the West Coast is a bust!

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Which stores did you hit in Richmond, VA? I mapped out a plan to hit the 6 main stores in the area soon (from D.C.) but if they don't have much I may scrap it for now.
There have been sporadic $3 boxes found at Woodbridge and Sterling and some more at District Heights, MD. No $10 sets in the area that I've come across.

Also, how much was Wait Till Your Father Gets Home and Tracey Takes On?
Finally were the ThunderCats the 6 disc set or 2 disc sets?

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Curious to get people's thoughts..................I was thinking of bringing back Wait Till Your Father Gets Home since I never saw it and picked up the last copy (the only copy I have seen in 12+ stores).
Is it worth keeping? I only bought it since it was the only Hanna-Barbara set I have come across. Just curious what you guys think on the show?

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Till Your Father and Tracey were $6. each.
Thundercats were in 2-tone slipcases (black/red, S2 V1, etc...). I don't know enough about them to know the 6's apart from the 2's from memory.
District Heights, MD is where I found the S1 Flintstones (sealed) and Romper Stomper SE.
I have very fond memories of Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. Can't wait to check it out again. The theme song popped right back into my head on the drive back home.

If you don't want it, it seems to be one of the rarer and in-demand titles, so you might want to check out the trading thread and consider swapping it with another DVD Talker. I bought a copy too and am trying to decide whether to keep it or trade it.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Got to the Springfield, NJ Big Lots at 10AM (opening) this morning. Another total bust, the woman working there officially confirmed that no new DVD shipments were coming in since the store is closing on August 31st. I figured with the 20% off sale I better leave with something so I only left with "Living in Oblivion" for $2.75, not bad at all, but not at all what I had in mind for today.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Is selling dvd's to FYE that popular or profitable?
I have never liked shopping in FYE due to the fact of their high prices, extremely high.
I have noticed their used items are as high as new internet orders on same item.
If FYE is seeing the same dvd's showing up in their stores in large quantities looks like they would stop buying or get wise to the situation, especially if someone is stupid enough to walk into a store with the Big Lots price tag still attached.

Last time I grabbed a few extras of the more valuable sets with plans either to trade to FYE or to trade to DVD Talk members for other series/seasons I didn't get, I got viciously attacked by the anti-capitalists that frequent this forum. Interestingly, the numerous others who posted they actually did the same thing (I never had time to get to FYE and never did it) did NOT get attacked. So I decided not to trade my extra copies on DVD Talk because there are enough vicious people here I don't want to risk my trades. Instead I will return them to Big Lots for a full refund or give them to family as gifts.
Yes, FYE is normally too expensive, but occasionally they have sales or offer enough on some DVDs to make it worthwhile. Most of the time if I take a DVD I bought for $5 and want to trade it in, FYE will give me $1. That's OK with the anti-caps on this forum (because I'm losing money and getting hurt), but if I were to trade in a DVD I bought for $6 (whether from Big Lots or Best Buy) and FYE gave me $30 for it, the anti-caps would already be waiting for me outside the store with ropes wrapped over the nearest tree branch for a good old fashioned lynching. They feel bold now that they are in power and control all 3 branches of government.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
My Big Lots finally got the $10 stuff.... I only picked up America's game but they had Roots, Kubrick (already own it) & whatever else.... Plus they had all that animated stuff but I don't like that stuff.... Still no Wonder Women complete or BRs....
I also picked up:
Little Shop of Horrors (Legend/Colored version)
Unstoppable
Quick Change
A Stranger is Watching
Murphy Brown season 1
Larry King live: The Greatest interviews
They also had stuff like Tales from the Crypt & Lois and Clark but I already own them.

I went to two Big Lots today looking for Tales from the Crypt and came up empty at both. I'm really hoping I can find at least a couple seasons somewhere.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
I paid full retail for all seasons of Tales from the Crypt, bought them all first day....
So this deal kills me & makes me wish I waited on them....
