Yup, the selection was pretty poor. Saw a ton of 'Californication' seasons on DVD for $5 each. Picked up the following BDs:

Contraband/Savages/Sabotage 3 disc set (Universal) - $5
Bloodrayne: The Third Reich (Phase4 films) - $1.88
Killer Movie (Phase4 films) - $1.88
The Drop (Fox) - $2.88
Because of Winn Dixie (Fox) - $3

Went to a Big Lots that was about 10+ miles farther than the one I currently frequent.

I hadn't been in this particular store in a while and it was great to see they had 2 Cardboard Displays & 1 (4-Sided) Wire Rack of various Blu-Rays & DVDs. These were all probably normal items on-sale but the selection was solid and I ended up picking up a few things.

Apollo 13: 20th Anniversary Edition
($5)
Robocop (2014) ($1.88)
Chasing The Dragon ($2.88)
Ali: The Director's Cut ($3)

Went to the Pearl St "Super Store" today with a $5 of $15; $15 off $50. They had the largest selection of both blu & dvd I've seen in a long time, but little of interest to me. There must have been 30 used copies of Cars blu @ $10.

I was able to find 4, but the lines were WAY too long, so I put them back.

What I almost bought:

blu:
Jurrasic Park
Puss In Boots
Apollo 13

dvd: Howard Lovecraft & the Undersea Kingdom (I find the 2 that are on disc kinda cute.)

Found copies of Machete & Machete Kills for $3 a piece, as well as Bridesmaids for $5.

Picked up The Guest for a friend of mine for $3.

Hit the other BL in the city where I live. Blu quantities are WAY UP, but titles are mostly pretty cheesy.

I came across a Big Lots today with virtually no Blu-rays. They still had plentiful DVDs, but nary a BD in sight.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
Interesting. Both BL's here currently have more blu than dvd. I wonder what our different experiences mean, if anything.

Who knows? Here it's a roughly 4:1 ratio of DVD:BR.

I swung into my local Big Lots last week while running errands. Had a hard time finding the movie section, which they had moved towards the rear of the store.

Wasn't expecting to find anything, but left with:

Transporter 1 and Transporter 2; I think they were $1.88 each
Out of the Furnace $3
Apollo 13 $3
Robocop (original) $3
A few others that I can't think of at the moment.

Robocop I was happy to find as I still only had the Criterion dvd. There were TONS of copies of the NEW Robocop reboot, and after digging through all of the blu-ray section I didn't find the original like I had hoped. Then I moved over to the dvd and music cds, and 1 copy of the original was hiding in the middle of a dvd row. Someone must have hidden it there in purpose.

Both Robocop Blu Rays (original and remake) have been showing up at Dollar Tree for $1.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
My local store had a new batch of $3 titles (the receipt indicated they were "January" for the 2 I picked up). What I recall seeing:

Anthropoid
Tigerland
Trainwreck (still other copies priced at $5)
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
Zombie Night
Kevin Hart: What Now?
Karate Kid (original)
Karate Kid II

I've heard of a big 3-D batch hitting stores recently.

Maybe a restock. A couple new names popped up, but most of the titles people have posted have been in and out of many stores for 4-5 months. I saw a bunch in my store around BF though none I didn't already have.
A bunch of Dreamworks titles seemed to the biggest groups.

Warcraft 3D was new to me - most people have not seen this in store

Rio 2
Mr Peabody
Rise of the Guardians
Shrek - I was at least 3 of these
Puss in Boots
Walking with Dinosaurs
Paranorman
Kung Fu Panda
Megamind
Turbo
Madagascar 3
Epic
Croods
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 1 and 2

Pixels
Immortals
Amazing Spider Man 2 (I saw a couple copies of this at Dollar Tree -- unexpected at my DT particularly)
47 Ronin (I don't think I'd seen this one listed before)

Reminder: Some of the Dreamworks that state "2d AND 3d" are really 3d only.

I think I may have listed this several months back when I first noticed it there. Made me hopeful that they might be getting in more 3D live action titles, but aside from the usual suspects (300 Rise, Pixels, Immortals, Pompeii, Spider-Man 2, a couple others) there hasn’t been much outside of the 3D animated shows routinely turning up (which presumably shows how poorly they sold originally, sadly).

Just a reminder that everything in the store will be 20% off Saturday and Sunday.

I've seen (and bought) all of these but 47 Ronin and Warcraft. I've never seen Shrek 1, but 2-4.

Picked up Hotel Transylvania (blu/dvd/digital copy) $4 + tax, original Karate Kid $2.40 + tax & a 6 pack of paper towel.

Went to two different Big Lots stores locally and I couldn't find any Blu-Rays I really wanted (or didn't already have).

Both stores re-stocked a whole lot for this sale.

laidbacklarkin 01-20-19 07:58 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
While most in the store were more of whatever was there before, got these two today:
E.T Extra Terrestrial Steelbook - $4
Anthropoid -$2.40

EDIT: Also saw a mangled copy of 'Office - Season 6' which I didn't pick up. It was $5 before discount

Went today and found a lone copy of Resident Evil: Afterlife Walmart Exclusive Steelbook for $5. I ended up buying about $16 worth of stuff so i used my $5 of $15 coupon instead of the storewide 20%,

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
Picked up The Karate Kid & The Karate Kid Part II for $2.40 a piece.

I already own the DVD set of the first four films but it was a no-brainer to upgrade the first two films for that price.

It's too late this time but next time find another $3 worth of stuff. The $5 off $15 coupon stacks with the 20% off. They take 20% off first and then do the coupon. $19 @ 20% off is $15.20.

I didn't see the E.T. Steelbook - It's not a favorite (or anywhere close) but I'd have purchased it again in that format just because...

I picked up ET blu at bl a couple weeks back, but it wasn't a steelbook.
