Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I want by last night and managed to find a few titles I might want for free. Hid them just in case... pickin's were pretty slim.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I wonder if this an easy way to make room for incoming new stock, or to get out of selling discs altogether . . .

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I found 1 br of The Misfits. I have the dvd, but for me that's MM's best starring film. It was either that, a blu of Star Trek movie 1, or a dvd box of The Adams Family S2. I don't know if I would like the Adams Family as an adult. I though is was cute as a 9 year old.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I opted for THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS, a splashy Cinemascope musical starring Marilyn. Not much to choose from in BluRays, but this is a goodie.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

For my free disc, picked up The Misfits. With the $5 off of $15 purchase, picked up There's No Business Like Show Business, Some Like It Hot & River of No Return. Four classic Monroe films for $10!

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

My wife, son (11), and I just started watching The Addams Family on Hulu. Hadn't seen it since I was a kid (and loved it then). It's still charming and mostly entertaining, but DANG is that show heavy with the laugh track. Every moment if silence is filled with laughter, even after things that aren't even mildly amusing. It gets old really fast.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Thanks for posting the free disc deal, Cardsfan111. I did not get the e-mail but it was on their rewards club website, so I stopped in last night and opted for Star Trek: Into Darkness, (3D, Blu, DVD + digital copy) priced at $5. It was the only copy I saw, and I looked at every disc on the rack. It's 10.56 on Amazon and I got it free!

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Nice deal, thanks for posting. Stopped in my local Big Lots today expecting things to be picked over but they had a surprisingly decent selection. They had many of the Marilyn Monroe titles but none I didn't already have. With the 5 off 15 coupon I found on my rewards account I ended up with 4 blu-rays for a total of 10 bucks plus tax:

Double Indemnity 70th Anniversary Limited Edition (I think I snagged the only copy)
Star Trek -- 3 Disc Digital Copy Special Edition (the J.J. Abrams film)
Grand Hotel (upgrade of the DVD I've had since 2005 :) )
Hondo (I swear they had at least 20 copies of this title)

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I went today and picked up 4 $5 titles:
The Girl on the Train
Hondo
Gentelmen Prefer Blondes
Savages

I got one for free and one was actually $2.50. It must have been on clearance and not properly marked. I paid $14.66 after I donated $1 to a children's hospital.

I was looking for Double Indemnity and Some Like It Hot, but couldn't find them. I'm going to go to a different Big Lots when I'm on vacation next week. The racks looked full and not picked through at all at my local Big Lots.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

The store by me sold out of the MM's except this 1 Misfits on the first 20% off day.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I do remember that laugh track. Drastically overused on pretty much all 60's TV comedy.

Interesting?

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I probably would have never bought it with real money but for free I picked up the Zoolander Blue Steelbook

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I saw quite a few good movies available for $5 at the local Big Lots. Most of the Marilyn films including Bus Stop, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, No Business Like Show Business, Niagara, the Misfits, Seven Year Inch, How To Marry A Millionaire etc, All or most of the Original Crew Star Trek movies plus the 3 disc first Chris Pine Star Trek, the steel book MASH, and Hondo. On DVD I saw the Carole Lombard Glamour box set.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Picked up 'Anchors Aweigh' for my free BD disc. Couldn't find 'Double Indemnity' amidst the endless array of Startreks, TMNTs and Kungfu Pandas in every store. Was very tempted to get DVDs instead, specially the Duke's multi-feature Paramount sets, some of whicht may never make it to HD. There were a couple of them, one with 'McLintock, Island in the Sky, High and the Mighty, Hondo' and another one with 'Sons of Katie Elder, Shootist, El Dorado' but I have sworn off DVDs for most parts. Also saw Glenn Ford's 'Plunder of the Sun' DVD but wasn't going to pay $5 for it.

Also, curious as to why those single Marilyn Monroe discs are exciting everyone when an entire can be had for $20 (admit the packaging is deficient but...)

EDIT: Never mind, that set does not have 'Bus Stop' and 'Niagara'

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

If I'm awake enough after tomorrow's morning football game, I may go to the 2nd closest BL & see if they have 3 movies I want to use the $5 off $15.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Well... the store here still had a huge selection - but it's mostly the same titles they've had for the past 6 months. Stuff that's already been picked through/over.

I found a couple to pick up but wasn't that excited. I got the first 2 Wolverine movies (along with some cans of black beans for my 6yo grandson who's visiting and eats little else) using a $5 off $15 and the free disc load. I like the movies but in all honesty my DVDs are good enough for those. Everything else they had I either already own copies of or just aren't interested.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I split our purchases to use the freebie, the $5 off $15 and the $10 off $50 (we had some other things we wanted and a few more Blue). For the freebie, I punched my phone # in to get rewards.

When they rang me up for my 3 $5 Blus ($15), he scanned the barcode from the coupon for my account. For some reason the coupon wouldn't take. He tried and tried and still the coupon would not take. So I was about to say forget it when it came back that 1 of the 3 titles was Free so the total was not over $15. Not sure if there was some strange B2G1Free promo or somehow we got 2 free $5 movies.

We paid $10 for those 3 and then did the remaining items in our bigger order. 1 of the Blu titles (RoboCop) was 50% off the clearance price of $1.50 so we added a bag of chips for $0.75 to get back over $50 for the coupon.

So we grabbed $15 more stuff and used the $5 off $15 on that.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I was too tired yesterday to drive to other BL's. I do have 3 copies of Double Indemnity (lol), but they're all on dvd.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

So Big Lots is worth a visit for some great deals on BLU's?
Last time that I visited one, I felt like I was shopping in someone's messy garage.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Depends on the store(s) near you. Some are organized, nice, and clean and others look like you describe. My connections at the store here have indicated corporate is in a push to clean them up and modernize them. They've reorganized here but no remodeling yet.

Selection is also store dependent. Since it's closeout/overstock stuff the distribution is somewhat lacking. There've been dozens of titles mentioned that I've never seen here (and it's a pretty good one for having a larger media selection).

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Totally store dependent. The thing I find interesting with the new "superstores" (we have 2 of them) is while they are attractive, there is a ton of empty floor space. I was taught in retail that one of the bottom lines is sales per square foot, so the choice of lack of shelves &/or not full shelves makes little sense to me.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Damn this thread. I usually don't shop at BL but it looked like they got some new inventory so I checked out the one near me and wound up with four movies, including my first Marilyn Monroe Blu.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I stopped by a different Big Lots on Thursday and picked up a few things I also used a $5 off $15 coupon:

$2.50 Scared Shrekless DVD
$3 Monsterville: Cabinet of Souls DVD
$3 The Gift Blu-ray
$3 Clear and Present Danger Blu-ray
$3 The Last Airbender Blu-ray
$5 Some Like it Hot Blu-ray

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I hit the one by my house. More restocks on the Monroes, lots of John Wayne (both blu & multi pack dvd), lots of Star Trek movies with the TV cast (#1 on blu & 2-4 on dvd), & Hitchcock's The Birds on blu.

With the $5 off coupon, I bought The Birds (I hope it's good), Bus Stop (another of the few Monroe's I really like along with Misfits, Niagra & the best of them all: Clash By Night; I'd love to have that on blu!), a set of Knives & some food.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I hope you like it. I've always found it to be kind of cheesy - especially some of the visual effects (and it was nominated for an Oscar for those - I still shake my head in wonderment over that one). It's never scared me in the least and is one of my least favorite Hitchcock movies.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Mine didn't yet have the BF titles a couple days ago.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I purchased Star Trek The Compendium 2 disc set which is the first 2 Chris Pine Star Trek movies. The sticker price was $5 but it rang up as $2.88. There were no signs so I don't know if this is a BF deal or clearance. Also have no idea of what else may be included. I did see blu rays of Good Fellas and Love Actually. Again I don't know if they be included in any sale.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I do try get stuff on sale, but if not see signs then i rather just wait then hassle of saying i read of a sale. can always go back later during event and see what happens if grab nothing before hand.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

For anyone in the Cincinnati area: The former Toys-R-US store at Eastgate has been converted to one of the largest Big Lots I've ever seen. I was there yesterday and they had more than 100 Blue-Rays (including most of those mentioned above). In addition, there were at least 2 copies of Star Trek - The Compendium 2 (Chris Pine series) on Blu (marked $5) and multiple 3D movies on Blu like World War Z, Sponge Bob Squarepants Movie, Terminator Genisys, Hercules (featuring The Rock), and one of the more recent Star Trek movies.

Big Lots - Eastgate

Cincinnati, Ohio 45245

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I visited a Michigan location on the weekend and there were signs posted on the rack stating that all $5.00 titles were now $2.88 and all $3.00 titles were now $1.88, so I'm assuming this is an official sale and/or clearout. Paired with the '$5 off $15' coupon, plus some previously reduced discs reduced even further (50¢, 75¢), I was able get a good stack (several for resale) for $10, including some more 3D sets. Even at those prices, though, they still had a lot of stuff that wasn't moving. Would be nice if they could clear all of it out and get some new titles into the mix.

Incidentally, I received a survey from BL last week asking what kinds of 'bonus offers' I'd like to see, including what types of items I'd like to receive free after spending a certain amount of money. I'm guessing that's going to become a regular thing for them now, especially to clear out stuff that isn't selling fast enough anymore, like movies.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I can confirm everything $5 rings up at $2.88, $3 rings up at $1.88. I saw one blu ray marked $2.88 "Panic in the Streets". I wish the selection was better but great prices.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
