Hit the local DT; the rack was pretty full & the checker said there were more boxes. What was interesting is that dvd's seemed to be outselling blu's 4 to 1. The rack was still fairly full & the blu's were segregated. Quality of titles MAY have been the reason.

Mostly blind buys:

Blu
Walking With Dinosaurs 3d blu, 2d blu & DVD
Enough Said
Jurassic Park 3d blu, 2d blu & DVD

DVD
Bat Masterson Best Of S1
Indian Summers (PBS) S1
Mad About You S1
In Old Chicago
Experimenter
Manglehorn

I was told to check back Sunday
Amityville Horror Original

Picked up the following on BD...

The Squid and the Whale/Running with Scissors
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Not a big selection at the store I went to last night. Mainly dvds, but not much of anything of interest.

I have three Dollar Trees in a three mile radius. Hit all three this morning but they were pretty much picked clean. One store did have a few of the big box sets though, including an ESPN Films set with what may be a store exclusive attached.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
I hit most of the stores Friday, since the 3 I looked at Thursday didn't have anything out yet.
This sale seems more divided as two of the stores I went to only had DVD's, no blu-ray's to be found.

Some of the ones I haven't seen mentioned yet (this sale), that I picked up:
Decoy Bride (BD)
Atlas Shrugged Part II (BD)
What Massie Knew (BD)
Flypaper (BD)
Time Out of Mind (BD)

Forever Knight Trilogy Part 1 (Season 1) (DVD)

If anyone picked up Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal, you might want to pop it in and check some pressings are Deep Sea Blues.

two stores around me in SoCal also have had restocks - ONLY DVDs and no BDs..Yet they were all being scooped up eagerly

MooMooMooMoo 03-04-19 12:23 AM

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
By the time I made it back in to look at the other boxes, they were already out & picked through. I miss the days when I bought a ton for my net business & got to look at Big Lots boxes before they hit the floor.

I did not get to my local store until today, but did find Panic in the Streets.

That's just what happens when you're selling Blu-rays for a dollar

You'd be proud of me- I restrained myself from buying stuff that would further clutter up my shelves. The ESPN sets looked really nice, but 1) I'm not into sports and 2) they exist on Blu-Ray, so buying them on DVD would be a waste. There was a 5-disc set of BMX videos too which I also passed up.

Keep in mind the ESPN Blu Ray set was also showing up at some stores and could have cluttered up your shelves less.

I would have bought that if I had found it. Maybe it’s best that I didn’t find it.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
I don't believe anybody's mentioned finding The Almighty Johnsons season 1, which has popped-up at a few local DT's. I've never heard of the series myself, but bought 2 sets, possibly just for the lovely non-eco, 14mm 3-disk cases.

I believe it was a New Zealand production or something that got picked up by Syfy for broadcast here. I have no idea why anyone thought it would be a big Blu-ray seller.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
When this last batch of media was being reported, I started checking my store daily. It's nice when many times you don't have to get out of the car to look--a glance through the front door can usually indicate if there are solar lights or something else.

It was last Saturday afternoon that things were put out for me--the display was actually 1/2 media and 1/2 solar lights. :)

I was very pleased to grab:

Heroes Season 3 (BD)
The Identity (BD)
30 Rock Season 3 (DVD)
ESPN Film Collection Vol. 1 (5 DVD set)
SEC Storied: Volume 1 (DVD--5 films)
ESPN 30 for 30: Season 2, Films 1-15 (DVD, along with a bonus disc of shorts on the back)
Teddy Roosevelt: An Adventurous Life which includes DVD (The indomitable Teddy Roosevelt), Sophisticated Sousa CD & Historic Archives/Booklet

Pretty good haul for $7.xx

Not much else in the way of BDs that I noticed, at least worth mentioning.

The Identical
It Could Happen to You
Jingle All the Way 2
Joan Rivers
Paper Man
Paranorman 3D
Pompeii
Rampart

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

I believe I saw almost all if not all of those weeks ago. I wonder if that store had some inventory they didn't put out till now.

I figured there was a good chance that was the case, and if nobody else reports new stock we can probably consider it confirmed.

I'd like to run into the Hitchcock blu for $1. It's not a a bad film.

Definitely worth a buck.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
I ran into one location today that had put out a small assortment of BDs and DVDs upfront from what I believe was the last shipment a couple of weeks back.

Picked up American Hero, Assassination, The Innkeepers and Billionaire Ransom on Blu-ray. Interesting DVDs included a couple of animated DC features, including Justice League: Gods and Monsters.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
JoeySeven mentioned it over in the DVD Bargains thread, so I figured that somebody should mention it here: DVDs and Blu-rays are the upcoming "Item of the Week." My local store has them out already, although they were on the electronics aisle and not in the IotW display area at the front of the store. I picked up nine Blu-rays:

Fright Night 2: New Blood (Blu-ray/DVD combo pack w/digital copy)
Maps to the Stars
Wish Upon (Blu-ray/DVD combo pack)
Holiday Inn (Blu-ray/DVD combo pack w/digital copy)
Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy
Office Space
The Secret
Bulletproof Monk
Return to Sender

I also picked up nine DVDs.

Nothing yet at my local store. Except for a few dozen workout DVDs in the electronic section.

Edison 06-02-19 02:13 AM

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
I've been to all the stores here in town either Friday, or Saturday, and about half had the movies out. Two of the ones today had them in the front "Item of the Week" bins, but I've also seen them in electronics, and on endcaps.

PhantomStranger 06-03-19 12:12 AM

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
One out of four locations I visited had them out this weekend. Some stores put their inventory out as soon as it comes off the truck, while other stores wait for the advertised date.

The list of all available BDs in this batch is pretty erratic and variable. I got such unheralded movies as

The Phenom
Ping Pong Playa
Citizen Soldier
Honey 3
Kevin Hart: I'm A Grown Little Man

Mostly independent films and a few from bigger studios.

Tap 06-03-19 08:46 PM

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
One of the local stores put out some new DVDs and BluRays today, and I saw literally nothing that's been mentioned by other posters. I didn't get a complete list, but the BluRays I did see included:

The Almighty Johnsons Season 1
Bad Words
The Infiltrator
Robocop (2014)

Agree,this is what is happening .


According to a poster over at BR.COM the new stock is schedule to be out this Friday.But some stores already have their stock out for sale. I mean this is DT we are talking about.:D

The tittles are kind of meh, about 90/10 in favor on dvd's at the one store in my town.

Br.com dt thread has a post #9870 of all tittles found so far.

Thank you! I don't see any titles of interest that I don't already own; but that said most of the best films I've seen lately have been dollar tree blind buys!

cabler45 06-05-19 07:02 PM

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
All i can do is swing by store close by and see if they have any out and hope all the good stuff not gone lol cause of collectors or resellers any. i saw some of list above, but in way easier just to go and see what possible at time so not get mad if what u want is not there cause other stockpile for own gain or get for others who cant get for themselves at time.

asianxcore 06-05-19 10:27 PM

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
I finally found a local Dollar Tree that had a good amount of Blu-Rays & DVDs.

Picked up:

Dog Eat Dog (BD)
Rookie of the Year (DVD)
Bad Milo (DVD)


Edison 06-07-19 02:31 PM

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
Those of you that didn't see anything last week could try now, it seems some of the stores hold the stock until it's supposed to be out.

I went back to the stores where I didn't find anything last week, and they all had them out now as the deal of the week.

Bondfan 06-07-19 02:48 PM

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
Picked up the following blurays:
Blue Jasmine
The Double
Return To Sender
Fright Night 2 Unrated

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
I only went to one store. They had a lot of stuff, 95% of which I'd never heard of. 14 blind buys blu & dvd; + 1 Twilight Zone dvd of rarities (These episodes were not on the dvd box, I will have to look before I open it to see if they're on the blu box). At $1.00 each (actually $1.11 with our criminal sales tax) if any become an empty case I'll live!

They also had Experimenter on DVD which I picked up last time.

blus:

Management
Skateland
Stranded
Paranorman
PBS Norman Lear

DVD's in that thread. They had a TON more, but 15 blind buy's was enough........

cabler45 06-08-19 01:22 AM

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 
I got paranorman from different place cause had dvd as well in it so nice buy at time, can try score more another time to give any shopper a chance to score some till they have new stuff again. guessing they get them every 3 months or more since last time they got any was like back in april or march sometime. did score some br only cause had dvd in it so was nice to have some i really wanted at time.
