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

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
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)

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
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.)

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

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.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
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.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
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)

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
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.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
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.

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

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
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.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
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.
