Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

My haul (all $2.88):

- Crooked Arrows
- Perfect Stranger
- Possession
- There Be Dragons
- Won't Back Down

I also saw but didn't buy:

- Glee (says 3D on the top spine sticker, but it isn't 3D as far as I could tell)
- Warriors of Heaven and Earth

I will need to return my DVD copy of Possession and hope they take it. :p

Overall, this is the most underwhelming Big Lots Black Friday selection yet. Yeah, I still did okay, but the prices and choices were definitely underwhelming compared to past years.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Received a coupon via e-mail good today & tomorrow, $10 off $50, $20 off $100, etc.

Stopped by a store today that usually has quite a bit when it comes to quantity of DVDs/BDs. Instead, their display was half what it once was.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I think I've posted this before: more then 1 manager has told me bl made a choice to back way down on dvd/blu.

Next weekend, BL is doing a 20% Friends & Family sale. Here is the link:

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

It seems as though Big Lots did a restock of the Black Friday $2.88 titles last week. I found almost everything that was listed back in November locally.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Picked up 'Rising Sun' for $4 with the 20% off coupon.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

The store here has a very small restock of mostly older DVD titles but nothing worth mentioning. Everything else is old stock consisting of those 2/$14 WB sets which've been in the store ~18 months now, very lame BD titles, and DVDs they've had for a long time.

For the first time since the store here opened I didn't purchase anything during a F&F event.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I picked 3 Blu-rays this past Wednesday. I plan on going back and picking up some more. I haven't been to Big Lots in awhile.

Bad Teacher
Mirrors
I Love You, Beth Cooper

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I was at the closest BL yesterday. Not 1 blu.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I was on the road and stopped at the store in New Albany, IN. It's been a while since I've seen a store with as much on the shelf. This was a 4 sided wire rack and one side was completely stuffed with BDs. As I looked them over, it seemed like it contained every $3/5 titles I had seen before, and also included a few $2.88 ones left over from Black Friday.

Strangely, on the bottom wire rack were a half dozen titles for $3. It was strange because a few that were there were also marked $5 on a different part of the same display.

I ended up purchasing for $3 each:

Deception (Jackman/McGregor)
Everyone's Hero
Hope Floats
Juno

Then I thought I was done and discovered a digibook of All About Eve for $5. Decided to pick it up and was surprised at the register that it rung up for $3.50. :)

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

3D is technically part of the movie's title... whether or not it's shown that way

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

No blus here, maybe 100 lame dvd's.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I'll see your 100 lame dvd's and raise you 50 lame blus...

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I found a couple new Sony titles for $5 each today:

Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher
Pompeii 3D
Oldboy (2013)

I picked up Pompeii, which rang up as ASTM B KIDS MARCH, so it seems like I found them early.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

hmmm... I would pick up Pompeii 3D... hopefully mine will get some in, I just went by one last night to pick up some trade fodder for Moviestop

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I picked up.

Lakeview Terrace
Everybody's Hero
Juno
Stealth/Vertical Limit double feature

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Picked up at $2.88 each - receipt say black Friday :) - left over from then I guess.

Conviction (based on a true story of Betty Anne Waters)
Never let me go (based on best selling novel)

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Found Drive and The Raid 2 at mine the other day... both with UV copies as well.. a GREAT deal for $3 each

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

The chances of me spending $100 at BL these days are somewhat less then 0 (Maybe if I was buying a bed....) but thanks for posting!

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Long ago, back in the days when Big Lots was carrying oodles and oodles of $3 DVDs, I could surpass $100.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Easily!

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

must have spent at least $600 especially on those hard to find vintage MGM titles. Sold several on Amazon and the Bay as well for tidy profits. believe it or not, there still seems to be some of those old stock from 2008 and 2009 in some stores ('Storefront Hitchcock' is one title that comes to mind)

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I remember a few of them titles I found being sold for a nice profit... To Sir with Love was one... There was an Ali documentary which at the time was very valuable and I ended up selling it for something like 60$

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I made good money on To Sir..... also. I just auctioned it & let the market set the price.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

You guys make me want to sift through my unopened DVD's, and try to find some gold to sell... I boxed a lot of them up, to make room for BD's. I was buying WAAAAAAAAAY too many DVD's back in the day. I have a bunch of Big Lots ones I never watched...

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

My local store had a cart near the front entrance with DVDs/BDs marked down 50%. I was excited to see it, but ended up leaving empty handed.

The BDs in the cart were originally $5 -- Wrong Turn 3, X-Files: I Want to Believe and Made of Honor. Funny that the regular display had some of these same ones, but not marked down. A large section of the cardboard display was empty. The optimist in me is hoping they're trying to clear some space to put some new things out. Probably not realistic, though.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Thanks for the tip!

Just went to my store and saw the following blus (among others) for $2.50:

Wall Street
The Wrestler
Black Swan
This Means War
Juno
This is the End
X-Files 2

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Based on the above response, I stopped in a store a little further from home since I was nearby. They had 2 shelves of clearance stuff as well. So it seems like it may be at all stores. Unfortunately, all I found at this one were DVDs. :(

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

One store by me had a crummy selection of clearance 2-3 weeks ago. The other hasn't unless it sold through before I got there. I no longer go to any but the closest stores; though after a projected move next month, I'll have 2 different closest stores.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Picked up Cedar Rapids for $1.50 at a BL in upstate Mario Land aka NY.

Had a $1.50 sticker over a $3 one.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Stopped by Big Lots today and picked up Brother's McMullen for $1.50 and Martha Marcy May Marlene for $2.50. They had a ton of Brother's McMullen and X-Files I want to Believe.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

This same Big Lots has gotten some new stuff in. I found Lockout & Seven Psychopaths for $3. I had wondered to myself whether all of the marked down stuff mentioned previously had sold since I didn't see it. Then while wondering around the store, I found some shelves at the side of the store marked clearance. There were a few random DVDs and a copy of X-Files: I Want to Believe on BD now down to 75 cents. :up:

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

There's finally a new display with a mix of $3 & $5 titles, those are 2 of them. Others include American Hustle, Casablanca $5, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Eat Pray Love, Gone with the Wind, some Insidious movies (I forget which), at least one Ip Man, Labyrinth, The Wizard of Oz 3D/BD $5 with lenticular cover.

Many/all are slashed, for those who care about that. I usually don't, but was disappointed to see that the Wizard of Oz I picked up had the slash go through the cardboard slipcase, into the Blu-ray case, and into the cover art. I still would have minded less, but it is the front cover that lines up with the back slip, so that's where the slash is. Otoh, I had a $5 off $15 coupon, so $3.33 each made it better.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Labyrinth in blu for $3 might make it worth buying the film for the 4th time (VHS, both dvd editions)

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

It's coming out on UHD in the Fall, which is why we are seeing older editions being dumped.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Works for me. I have no plans to go 4k. Just bought my 1st 1080p set a few months ago & I love my Oppo 95.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I saw pretty much all the titles you indicated and picked up "Casablanca," "Eat Pray Love," "Seven Psychopaths," and "Thin Ice." Two were $3 and two were $5, so $4 a title not bad. Slash mark only made it through the plastic on "Casablanca," so just put in a new Viva and saved about $5—none of the other films had slash marks.... I had the film "Faster" in my hands with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and I passed....kinda wish I grabbed it now.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

As someone else posted, "Labyrinth" will be released on UHD and re-released on Blu-ray in a few months. The packaging will be superior in every way, sporting the original theatrical poster design. Not sure what, if anything, Sony has done to improve the image and sound. But if these things are not a big issue, $3 is a steal. I traded in this blu-ray version and I'm anxiously waiting for the re-release.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Unless I'm missing something here (Which is VERY POSSIBLE), I can't play 4k & I don't intend to "upgrade" in the near future.
