Hit the local BL today (the day a clerk suggested); a few new titles but nothing that's been mentioned here that I want. I was told this time to try again on Thursday. I think the clerks at this store aren't real um......... knowledgeable. I also don't have a relationship with the store manager (I mean business type!) like I've had with several of the stores in the past.

I got a 5 off $15 so hit both of the remaining BL's in Tacoma. Neither has any of the Uni horror, the Douglas or Hitchcock boxes. Pearl Street (which I don't get to often as it's about 15 miles away) had about 3/4 of a 4 sided rack (1 entire side was nothing but kids dvd's) & 50% of the BF rack remaining. They had a lot of TV series that I've never heard of on dvd at $5 per season; they also still have significant stock on South Park. Didn't get to talk with any employees there. Only thing of interest was a special packaging DVD edition of DeMille's Cleopatra. I already have the standard version in a box set. Very few blu's.

The second store by me was full; 95% same old same old. Found out I know one of the senior employees from when my business used to buy a ton from them. She told me they were still loaded up with more boxes of movies in the back & it's all duplications of what's already out. She hadn't heard of the $10 box sets; but said they actually get truck 3 times weekly. She really doubted that the boxes would be in & out for sale before my 4 day coupon expires Sunday. Lots of blu's, but same titles they've had since mid November.

Found a PG-13 flick called 'Wish Upon' for $2.88...must be some BF leftovers. No sign of any of the Universal Monsters titles

Was in my local Big Lots today and hadn't planned to spend too much time looking over the media, but even at a glance I could tell there were some additional new titles added. Each of these were $5:

The Clint Eastwood 4 Movie Thriller Collection (Coogan's Bluff / The Beguiled / Play Misty for Me / The Eiger Sanction)
A single copy of The Bride of Frankenstein (mentioned above, but I hadn't seen it yet)
The Riddick Collection (Pitch Black / The Chronicles of Riddick, along with a DVD of The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury according to the back).

Had reason to stop by the local store again yesterday (1 day later) and there were new things again. Or in some cases, titles that had been present before and reappeared.

I saw multiple copies of the Planet of the Apes collection and the Star Trek trilogy for $5.

I also noticed Animal House, The Invisible Man & The Mummy. The latter 2 with the glow-in-the-dark slipcovers. All of these were $5.

In my recent travels, I was fortunate to pick up the Scarface, Bourne Classified & MI:Ghost Protocol steelbooks in a unlocal Big Lots & had spotted a lot of reported BD's / DVD titles there.

In my semi monthly visit to the local BL this morning, I spotted new stock; beaucoup titles of South Park DVD seasons and BF DVD sales titles. No new BD's from what I seen.

This store is truly behind the eight ball in receiving and/or putting out new BD stock!

Last i hit my place was around black friday, and now i gotta debate how far i wanna walk for any cheap dvd or br combo by chance since just snaged some dvd at thrift other day. it all debatable since already got so many i have and have not watched yet lol. i just gotta be in mood to watch any at time lol. with holidays coming, maybe they be on sale by chance to get rid of old stock and by chance catch some new stock out any.

My store keeps putting out new stuff. And the odd thing--they aren't selling much. The new titles are jammed in to the display and can even make it hard to see what's there. Today's find was a bunch of TV shows for $5. I bought the 2nd season of Bates Motel on DVD with a $5 coupon in hand. I've seen the 1st season and can attest to that show's quality. I've never heard of most of the others I found on DVD and BD. If you have an opinion on anything, let me know so I can target which ones I might pick up with future coupons.

FWIW, there was a single copy of each BD title, 1 or 2 of each DVD series.


Continuum: Season 1
Continuum: Season 2 (BD)
Continuum: Season 3
Dig: Season 1 (BD)
Dominion: Season 1
Dominion: Season 2
Dracula: Season 1 (Jonathan Rhys Meyers series)
Master of None: Season 1
Mr. Selfridge: Masterpiece? (BD)
Mr. Selfridge: Season 2 (PBS)
Van Helsing: Season 1

I went to a local Big Lots a few nights ago and they definitely had a lot of the DVD Seasons that you listed.

Out of what Cardsfan listed, Dominion: Season 1 and Dracula: Season 1 (Jonathan Rhys Meyers series) are pretty good seasons of television. Dracula only got canceled because the main star was having serious drug issues while filming and they couldn't afford insuring him.

I'm still waiting to see the Douglas, Hitchcock & Dracula boxes. Guessing they won't hit Wa state at this late date.

I see it like anytime i check places for stuff i really want, u got a 50/50 chance of it being there or not if u in area u have other collectors or by chance resellers who hit place to get cheap and sel for twice the value anytime. just be aware and u never know the next trip in u might score what u really want at time.

Per an email 20% off everything on NYD. No coupon required.

Thanks. Picked up 'Terms of Endearment' and 'Outpost: Black Sun' for $1.85 and $1.16 respectively after 20% off and a $5 off $15 coupon.

I received an email that stated the 20% off sale is extended to Friday January 3rd.

Here in St Louis, picked up the following for $12 (with 20% coupon):

Planet of the Apes bluray 5 disc legacy collection
Torn Curtain bluray Alfred Hitchcock film w/Paul Newman
The Mummy bluray 'glow in the dark' edition w' Boris Karloff

Seeing all the posts regarding Big Lots and media I stopped in my closest store earlier today. They had a fairly large 4 sided display of DVD and BR but one side was pretty much up against a display of reading glasses and there was no way I could squeeze in about a foot of space. A very quick glance but I didn't see anything I could not live without and the only "special" case I saw was a Mutant Ninja Turtles collection in some sort of Turtle Shell shaped case.

I was going to add they were still offering 20% off total purchase even with signage indicating New Years Day only but I had not seen the email showing it was extended.

I noticed my store has like a metal book rack of media but one side is like only a foot wide or 2 lol, i think some stores try cram out to much to make room in back. gotta check my place and see if any new worthy stock is out or get any i real want for any reason at time since already got a good score at thrift most sealed and one not but watchable.

Nothing worth using the 20% coupon on. I bought a 100 pack of paper disc sleeves for $4 with the discount.

*Still* no new media here... bummer... We purchased some Christmas closeout stuff (only a couple things at that - mostly for kid projects), some pajama pants (on sale + the coupon), some Pfeffernusse (50% off + coupon! I love these things!), and tortilla chips.

Had chance check store here and some new stock like collections and rest same stock. got some i really wanted and by chance a collection dvd. saw some movie collections not seen before , but read some reviews on amazon and it mixed about the collections. so can try get and do a marathon kinda thing or check details and make sure right region and not all blu ray so not stuck with a br colection i cant play right now lol. can only guess reviews read is stuff from amazon direct. and biglot get right stuff so not have hassles with so many or some dvd or movies returned for any reason.

Wish they'd get more 4K titles.

I don't think the studios are selling enough UHDs to have a lot of leftover inventory. UHDs are still fairly niche and aimed at well-heeled collectors and home theater owners.

It’s Mummy mania at my BL! Not only was there still plenty of Legacy Collections available, but there’s also the glow-in-the-Dark cover AND the Best Buy Steelbook!

But at least I finally snagged the lone copy of Planet/Apes franchise.

Here in BL the only Mummys are the Brandon (I forget his last name) remakes.
