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.

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:
https://www.biglots.com/marketingass...-storelist.pdf

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.

Spotted DVD sets of Parenthood Season One and Mr. Selfridge seasons 2 and 3. Also several stray South Park individual seasons on DVD.

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.

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.

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.

New finds (at least to me) recently discovered:

Easter Parade (Garland/Astaire) - $5
Indian Summers: Season 1 (PBS series) - $5

Used my latest $5 off $15 coupon to pick up:

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:

Despicable Me Special Edition
Shaun of the Dead (Comic Art on the front)
War Dogs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
