Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
I think this is true. I went over a year without seeing one then I got two $5 off $20 in a row, a week apart. I used both but have not gotten anything else. I think they both ended up in my spam folder too, even though I have the sending address in my contacts list.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
The local BL got a fairly large restock (mostly dvd, but a few blus). Unfortunately the only thing I found particularly cool was Marlene Dietrich: The Glamor Collection (DVD Set) which I already bought from BL for $5 (now it's $8).
I did buy Point Pleasant complete 3 disc series (1 season) for $3 as a blind buy.
I came up $2 short for my $5 off $15 so I put back 2 blu-rays at $5: The Graduate & Fargo (the film).
I was told much of the store's Monday delivery wasn't out yet, so I will try to either go back or hit the other local BL. They FINALLY sold their token Will Rogers box (sad it took over a month at $8)

I also noticed the actor who played "Jesse" on Breaking Bad in the first couple minutes, hope it was more than a walk on.

Lots of new stuff today; but imo was mostly junk.
Used my coupon on $3 Across The Universe blu/dvd (they had several); + the $5 blus I put back the other day: Fargo (movie) & The Graduate. Bought a little food to hit $15.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
wow, you bet there's a restock. another store near me was filled to the brim with a ton of new BDs and DVDs. Lot of Fox titles followed by Sony and most priced at $5. The Disney titles were mixed in as well. Nice classic movies on DVD like Cimmarron, Man from Laramie, Jack Lemmon collection, Warners Bogey titles and others. While am not thrilled at paying $5 per title, I did make an exception and picked up the following:
DVD:
Saving Mr.Wu (a Well Go Asian action flick) - $3
The Missing (Extended Cut edition - Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett) - $3 (what a pity this isn't on BD yet)
BD:
The Raven (John Cusack) - $3

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
I had a unique & unpleasant experience today at the BL on 72nd in Tacoma, WA.
Yesterday, I purchased "Across the Universe Blu-ray/DVD Combo for $3 - coupon.
Took it home, opened it & it was missing the blu. I returned it today with all packaging & a receipt & requested an exchange. The clerk said she had to get manager's approval because I might have stolen the disc (her words). The manager did approve it it with no hassle; but I found this quite insulting. I opened the other one in the store & it did have both discs.
I hope BL management reads this. Not a good way to treat a regular customer of many years.

On a related note, back in May, I purchased 'Breakfast Club' from Frys on a weekend sale. As is the norm with many of us, I didn't around to viewing it until a month later. When I opened the shrinkwrap and the case, there was no disc inside, just the UV code sheet. I immediately called Universal - mistake as no one receives a call, its just a call box for leaving messages. I wrote Universal, a few days later they sent me a response asking me to direct the question to another email they provided and that I would receive a replacement copy. I have not heard back to date, despite a couple of reminders. Reached out to Frys but they don't have this in stock no more.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Visited the local BL today and noticed the odd new disk but not the cornucopia others are describing and it's getting depressing. They get maybe one out of three new finds listed here, but rarely the ones I'm desiring. And as I visit a few BL stores, this doesn't seem to be a case of a reseller plucking them dry. Stores in the next county still have copies of the Target Fantastic Four BD digibook...which for curiosity value I'd think would be first to go...but little else that's exciting.
I did buy a copy of "Thank You for Smoking" on DVD for $3, which I think was new.

I got a copy of one of those Rob Roy's today @ Big Lots. Did yours have a digital copy inside? Just curious before I open mine. I forgot I own it already, but I'll keep it if yours had a DC.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Thank you, I appreciate that. I'll check my copy at home to make sure my original copy isn't somehow beat up 5 ways to sunday and then return my BL copy (if anybody is looking for it, I'll probably won't return it before Friday). Oh wells...its just the kinda week I'm having.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Family & Friends 20% sale this weekend.
Stopped in my store tonight to see if it was worth stopping by tomorrow. There were quite a few new to me BDs priced at $5.
There was a version of the '90s Dracula (like the one pictured here: https://smile.amazon.com/Stokers-Dra...ula+blu+ray+4k) that I had never seen. Also a 3-disc Moneyball and a double feature of Hotel Transylvania/Monster House.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be there. Think I'll grab the Garbo and Carol Lombard sets and the Will Rogers set on DVD, which I'd passed on last time. A shame we don't have a better selection of Blu-Rays locally, but hope springs eternal.
