Still no Douglas, Dracula or Hitchcock sets here. Grr.

I saw Selfridge S1 on BD and S2 on DVD. Better Call Saul S1 on BD but that seemed to be leftover stock.

I received an e-mail that the 20% off sale is going on again this weekend for select stores because of bad winter weather last weekend. Might be worth checking into with your local store if you're interested.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
While it says "select stores" it's a huge list. Mine is included and our weather wasn't that bad - just rainy.

Here's a link to the list of participating stores:

Here the 20% is repeated on a 1 time use coupon good through 1/30/20.

Running these 20% off sales this frequently doesn't bode well for Big Lots.

Until the awful December batch, Dollar Tree & BL were getting a significant number of the same films, which for us could explain some of it; but I don't think movies are a priority for BL at this point.

This one is due to poor weather conditions over large portions of the US last weekend. They've done it before when bad weather caused fewer visits during a F&F sale.

Interesting. The one here is a "normal" 2 day F&F event with the same coupon as last weekend. They have a stack of 'em at the registers and simply scan one when you check out.

As mentioned above, i seen some of those titles at either biglots or dollar tree by chance. have snagged shows in past from dt but some no interest. i snag stuff at blots at random times but now i try wait and go dt first then other place as stuff gets hi price depends on where i go now.

Cardsfan111 02-04-20 04:04 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
A few new titles (to me, at the very least) that I came across this week:

Boss Baby
Fifty Shades Darker (a digibook type case if I recall correctly)
King Kong (Jack Black--steelbook)
Lucy (this title is not new, but it had a slip I've never seen -- a glow in the dark?-type look)
Star Trek (2009 steelbook, had seen the film in various forms before but not as a SB)
Star Trek: The Final Frontier
Star Trek: Nemesis
Star Trek: Undiscovered Country
Straight Outta Compton

All of these were $5.

cabler30 02-05-20 06:59 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
I guessing blots gets some good stuff at anytime and try fill display or shelf unit when get any or see space can add to the display. i say why not just put in tech area as where got tech gear and supplies? that way they can store movies in boxes and have it more organized kinda and have more space to check what got instead gotta movie stuff around when they try shove out to much stock. or just get bins like walmart and let traffic check that way lol. i notice now days media just do not sell as much as before since thrift place and even dollar stores get movies now lol. atleast blots get some a or b list movies at times so some worthy gets anytime u really want stuff.

Cardsfan111 03-13-20 11:31 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
New finds (at least to me) recently discovered:

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays

The Doris Day and Rock Hudson Comedy set (Pillow Talk / Lover Come Back / Send Me No Flowers) for $5 (Note: Found this also on DVD for the same price)

Also new to me were some steelbooks for $5:

Check your email boxes.

A 20% off (entire purchase) coupon went out. Good until 4/19/20.

Too bad we can't order movies from the website......................... Even for curbside pickup.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
The local Big Lots B&M got in a decent amount of titles that I haven't seen at that location before, such as various Star Trek BD sets, King Kong (2005) & Serenity Steelbooks, etc.

A few titles on clearance such as Incarnate (2016), Aeon Flux (2005) & The Bye Bye Man (2017).

Ended up purchasing:

Jurassic Park 3-D (1993)
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Face/Off (1997)/Snake Eyes (1998)

There's also a 20% off coupon for members that you should have gotten in your email. It lets you choose the day in which you want to have 20% off your purchases.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
Some crazy finds at Big Lots are being reported over on the other forum. Someone claims to have found the Paul Naschy Collection from Scream Factory for $5. It's a $50 set.

cabler30 07-04-20 06:21 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
I so thinking to go back to 99 cent store for any wanted but had put back but no promise they still there lol. but can try check biglots way home to see any new stock by chance. have scored some good stuff past trips.

I may go tomorrow with the coupon. Haven't been to a bl since Covid started.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
Some new stock in 4 stores around me but nothing compelling. Found 'The Peacemaker (1997)' in a clear case for $3. Picked up and put it back. Got a $5 off $15 and a 20% off but the store doesn't carry anything good quality in groceries no more, just cheap high sugar junk

Same with the 20-Film Clint Eastwood Collection on BD!

I didn't see any of the deals on multiple disc sets mentioned above. The only multi disc sets I saw for $5 were the Star Trek 2 to 4 3 disc set, Star Trek The Compendium 2 movie set, 50 shades of Grey double feature, and a Terminator double feature. They had some steelbooks such as Serenity.

Checked my local store for the first time all year. None of the big finds mentioned above. Almost bought season 3 of 30 Rock for $5, but wised up.

The four Big Lots closest to me all closed in the last 2-3 years. There's only one left around here and it's pretty far north.

Cardsfan111 07-06-20 07:47 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
These aren't BDs, but might be of interest to some. My store had a bunch of multi-tv season sets in the regular display. They'd be hard to miss because they're in large cases.

These were $10:
The 4400: Complete Series
7th Heaven: Seasons 1-4
MacGyver: Seasons 1-4
Melrose Place: Seasons 1-3

These were $15
CSI: Miami: Seasons 4-6
CSI: NY: Seasons 1-3
Dynasty: Seasons 1-4
Have Gun Will Travel: Seasons 1-4
NCIS: Los Angeles: Seasons 1-4
Numb3rs: Seasons 1-4
Petticoat Junction: Seasons 1-3
Rawhide: Seasons 1-3

This title has been spotted at Dollar Tree as well but good luck finding it as it is one of the ones all the flippers are gravitating towards.

cabler30 07-07-20 10:11 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
I have snagged like individual seasons for decent prices but all seasons in one case 10 bucks aint bad compared what flippers or sites sell for at reg price. i have even got many movies in a pack for the same price but know it cost more if was single any depends where u get them from. i wonder how they decide what price to tag them any at time. have seen them put movies at clearance but not many.

clckworang 07-07-20 11:47 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
I went in search of some of those big finds. I hit up two stores but no luck. I did end up getting a few things anyway. I might try one more store if I'm feeling lucky.

Cardsfan111 07-08-20 11:22 AM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
More from a different location yesterday. Again, these are DVDs but figure maybe of interest to some who only check out this thread.


$20
I Love Lucy: Seasons 1-5

$15
CSI: Seasons 1-4
CSI: Miami: Seasons 1-3
Laverne & Shirley: Seasons 1-5

Seeing how they price stuff i wonder if stores have turned into ebay kinda as to how they price media sometimes.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
I forgot to mention, on Thursday I was next door to a Big Lots & that 20% coupon was expiring the next day. Didn't find any movies (only thing new i.e. post Covid was a bunch of Children's cartoons & a small selection of Looney Toons; both on dvd), there were a few good titles that I had previously bought from BL.

I did buy some food, lol & considered but passed on an air fryer. I've heard good things about their $20 box of masks, but if course they were sold out.

Cardsfan111 07-22-20 02:43 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays

Which is far less of a crap shoot than finding one at BL. These days it's quite scatter shot the way things show up at BL.
