Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Hit dt last weekend. Still had tons of stuff from the last batch. Nothing of note that hasn't been mentioned.
$1.25 at the dt by my home.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

$1.25 is the new price for most everything at Dollar Tree nationwide.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

don't know if it's a country wide rollout at the same time. It was already $1.25 here in CA but late Dec, I was traveling in NM and it was still a dollar there. Heard from a store employee that they will rename the store to Dollar Plus or something like that

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Came across a location with a fairly healthy stock of DVDs and even a few CDs, the first time I've come across any CDs. The CDs were far more interesting but I did get Justified Season Three on BD. There weren't many Blu-rays beyond one of the Patriots Super Bowls and a couple Echo Bridge cheapie titles.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

The end of an era, and a very sad casualty of pandemic inflation. Stores near me are still $1, but an employee told me the price change is imminent. I think they should just change the name to Dollartwentyfive Tree.

Same here. TONS of new + existing stock of DVD, but not a single BR. The one interesting DVD in this last haul was a lone copy of Behind The Player: Ace Frehley (housed in a super jewel case) at one store I visited.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

No more new BDs anywhere else near me. However found these 3 CDs in a store far from me while I was nearby for business

• Get Low - Movie soundtrack
  Get Low - Movie soundtrack
• Hunter - A Life Once Lost (with ltd edition DVD)
  Hunter - A Life Once Lost (with ltd edition DVD)
• Mindi Abair - Stars
  Mindi Abair - Stars

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

I found a really decent JJ Cale compilation of stray and unreleased tracks from Time-Life.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Is this as tall as a DVD? Your picture makes it look like something between a Jewel Case and a Super Jewel Case. Also Ace Frehley is a degenerate.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Apparently stores are getting another shipment of DVDs and CDs in early March.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

I dont check here alot but guessing not much new media besides what i read so maybe i check the place later even if i already got so much seen and not seen already lol. and due to med hassles i try walk far but gotta due mini breaks or stop on the way compared to years past i can walk for miles kinda and break anytime so till see primary doc. but this pandemic has really delayed alot crap so far.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

There's no real rush needed anymore checking out Dollar Tree's movies. The re-sellers who used to swoop in and buy out entire locations have dried up, as the movies DT carries these days aren't hot sellers on the secondary market.

Some locations have barely gotten rid of the last wave, much less this coming wave.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

My store has several boxes of the MGM films from the last wave. I doubt they'll get rid of many of them, which means they might not have space to put out anything new. Plus they have raised the price to $1.25 so that might slow purchases a bit as well.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Yea, i can see resellers was totally stockpiling i guess before store went 1.25 ea movie so seller had to charge more to make back profit any. last time i got any was maybe 4 movies with extras any i cared to get at time. but since all stores i guessing selling cds now i wonder if resellers are trying to stock that stuff any. i know years ago before my place moved to bigger space they sold cds any and then stopped but not getting any again by chance cause the price change i guess gonna get cds again from what i seen from past youtube videos. i saw a cd i might have got but was not sure but guessing i go back it might be sold lol.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Decent drop, about 95/5%, Shout titles had about 5 copies of each film.
Did not even look through all the DVDs and might have even missed some blu's.

Blu's
Satellite girl and milk cow
Sound! Euphonium the movie
Napping Princess
Liz and the blue bird
Digimon tri Confession otters found (Reunion, Coexistence)
Panic (seal overslip)
Big Fish & Begonia
Rendel

DVD

Let's Scare Julie (2020)

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

I didn't find much anime on Blu-ray but I did find many new arrivals to Dollar Tree I hadn't seen before.

The most interesting were St. Agatha, Monster Party, and Gloria Bell. The Blu-ray mix was peppered with cheap Echo Bridge budget titles, scattered selections from RLJ entertainment, and other indie distributors. Some Canadian versions as well. Many horror DVDs from a variety of labels, including Shudder movies.

I found another Justified - Season Three Blu-ray, which I left. Sony must have vastly overproduced that set.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Since I reviewed them all when they were released, here are my thoughts on

Satellite girl and milk cow - Off-beat anime from Korea, if you are only used to Japanese anime you may find this movie too weird and quirky.
Napping Princess - Fun, little anime which was made in anticipation of Tokyo hosting the 2020 Olympics. Ghibli fans should enjoy this movie. Highly recommended
Liz and the blue bird - A spin-off film set in the Sound! Euphonium universe, starring two characters from it. Perfectly watchable drama set in high school with recognizable themes commonly found in anime.
Big Fish and Begonia - Stunning Chinese production aimed at younger audiences, made in the Disney family mold with distinct Chinese values.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

I got super lucky and went to a store right before they closed and got 1 of each of the good titles. Now I don't have to run to every dollar tree.
I got;
BD
Panic
Big Fish and Begonia
Sound Euphonium
Napping Princess
Satellite girl and milk cow
Liz and Blue Bird
Digimon confession
DVD
Fireworks
Let's scare Julie
Camp cold brook
Baba yaga terror of dark forest
Dead reckoning from shout Factory
UHD
River Runs red

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

It's becoming hard to tell when official media sales are going on at Dollar Tree since stores seem to be overwhelmed with stuff. I did stop by a store in a neighboring town today that had the entire front table filled up.

I purchased 3 BDs I had not seen there before. All of these were blind buys, having not heard of them before checking reviews.

Emma Smith: My Story
If She Screams
Underdog (2019)

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Who’s buying all these Echo Bridge releases outside of DT ? Asking seriously. There’s barely any press or reviews on them.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Walmart wanted cheap BDs in store and Echo Bridge answered the call. The Hollywood studios decided selling their movies for $5 in Walmart bins devalued their entire lines and stopped offering Walmart many cheap discs. A studio with its overhead and royalty contracts likely aren't netting much on any physical media sold below $8-10.

I may have bought one or two of the Echo Bridge discs at Walmart, but it was a severe drop-off from the days when the Walmart bins were stuffed full with legitimate Hollywood films.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Kroger's West Coast chain "Fred Meyer" used to carry big dump bins of Echo & Mill Creek before they largely got out of selling "media".

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

I was surprised to find a massive stock of new media this weekend. Mostly a mix of DVDs and BDs which have been circulating the past couple months, including the aforementioned Echo Bridge BDs. There were some new movies on DVD at least I hadn't seen before.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

When i get media i try find any movies i heard of or has good cast and plenty of xtras. i dont worry about who made the media as long as watchable. forgot the last time i got media walmart from bins any. so when i can i check and see what worth getting.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

This batch has several anime films. I spotted several different Digimon Blu-rays.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Local store loaded with Echo Bridge schlock, picked up 8 of them but couldn't get my mind to oblige 7 of them. So out the store with 'Wolvesbayne' only cos it was a steelbook. What is EB's business model ? Surely they're not making money with this, all their titles are a BD + DVD combo too

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Roman J Israel, Esq (Spanish edition from Mexico)
Fences
The Redeemed (Echo Bridge)
Spree (RLJE)
Ride (RLJE)
Yanni Live - The Concert Event (CD)

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

I came across one location with a mess of Spanish-language versions of Hollywood movies.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

all of them have their respective English soundtrack and subtitles. Just that the disc will default to Spanish language being a Mexican release

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Found some new stuff out today. Picked up the following:

300
Beneath the Harvest Sky
The Final Member
Jimmy Buffett: Welcome to Fin City
Journey to the West
Standard Operating Procedure
A Star is Born
Tony Bennett: The Music Never Ends (DVD)

Also saw IT on BD as well but left it there. Also of interest, everything above rang up for $1 and not $1.25. :eek:

FWIW -- the ones ringing up for $1 have a UPC sticker ending in 7304 should anyone want to compare with what they find.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

I wonder if those ringing up for a buck were old stock that never made it out on the floor.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Which Star Is Born? Gaga remake or original?

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

I just threw away the receipt. I do recall glancing at it though and believe most everything rang up, "July 2022" or something similar. So not exactly old. Just seems like they may have used an older UPC sticker as I mentioned before.

It was the newer one.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

Well, I did come across the new wave. Mostly DVDs again, but a few new BDs sprinkled into the mix. The most interesting DVD set I saw was the second season of From Dusk Till Dawn.

I saw It, Truth or Dare, Hidden Kingdoms (BBC), Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker, a few more.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

i went to the dollar tree store to mostly get some paper plates and disposeable shavers but digged through an old pile of DVDS and blu rays that were from a year ago. Bunch of copies of Submergence for blu ray

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
 

I keep forgetting to bother.
