Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
For the first time in my life, I hit a $T that wasn't very picked out. Of course, they were out of Bull Durham, the one I wanted.
#1 score which I already have is the Bloom County/Opus Wish For Wings That Work TV Special on DVD.
Here's what I bought (all pretty much blind buys)
Blu:
A Late Quartet (I discovered I already have this. I knew I had seen it & it's good, but wasn't aware I had already bought the blu; probably at Big Lots)
Bubble
Changeling
The Fault In Our Stars
Immortals 3D (+ 2D)
Joy (this is currently at BL for $3)
Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (remake)
DVD
Peter Gunn Best Of Season 1 (2 DVD, budget label)
Sylvester & Hippy Hopper 18 Cartoons
Tweety Pie & Friends 15 cartoons
What We Do Is Secret ("The Germs" punk rock bio pic)

Hit 2 stores just as they were putting stuff out this morning. One of them opened up box after box of DVDs. And nearly all of it was junk. The other had some BDs. Some/all of these have been mentioned, but here's what wasn't in the list I posted earlier:
Burn After Reading
The Counselor
Dog Soldiers
Flight of the Phoenix
Great Expectations
Son of God
Zipper

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
Stopped to get some milk and saw they had a ton of blu rays in Signal Hill, CA.
I picked up the following 8:
Joy (FYI, code will give 4k rights in Movies Anywhere if you redeem through Itunes)
Brick Mansions
Spy (sadly code only gives extended version, so no 4k itunes code)
Movie 43 (need to see for myself if it's as bad as they say )
Moa's Last Dance
Don Jon
Paper Towns (4k code if redeemed through itunes)
Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Went to 7 stores and only found a few low tier blus. Mostly DVDs or nothing at all. One store even had an HD-DVD.

It must be random; the store I went to that had a ton usually gets almost nothing.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
It's actually not bad for what it is. Minimalist indie/art house, the entire cast were not professional actors and a lot of improvised dialogue. I may be a bit biased though as a friend of mine did the soundtrack.

Glad Bubble is good, as I bought 3 DVD & 1 blu based on what they're listed at on Amazon before I saw how low they are on ebay. I suspect I'll end up getting stuck with all 4, unless I sell the blu for next to nothing. The dvd is selling for less than ebay/PayPal fees + shipping.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
^The movie was OOP and was selling for some decent money before this stock turned up at Dollar Tree. If you hang onto them for a while, it's probably still not getting a new pressing, so value could rise again.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
Local store put BluRays out. Nothing that hasn't been reported (except Exodus?), but a few comments on the digital versions.
I initially tried to redeem the digital copy of Counselor using Vudu, where it failed. But it worked fine at Movies Anywhere, and so did all the rest of these Fox movies (all HD, though the digital version of Walking lost 3D):
Counselor
Exodus
The Fault in Our Stars
Great Expectations
Paper Towns
Walking with Dinosaurs: The Movie (3D)
One Fox movie had one of those old upload to iTunes codes, but it failed saying it was the wrong region:
Movie 43

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
That is exactly what transpired for FOX titles distributed by FOX. Some titles distributed by FOX belong to other studios. Those other studios codes may offer UV, UV/MA, MA, single service redeem (allows redeem only on that service like VUDU, iTunes, etc without UV, MA, or UV/MA), or no redeem at all.

Found the unrated version of Robocop on Blu-ray. Seems to have almost all of the Criterion's release extras.

Re: Dollar Tree BLU Rays!
Visited 3 DTs during this sale and came up with 7 blu buys: Let's Be Cops; Parental Guidance; Counselor; Police Story Lockdown; Hitman Agent 47; Walking with Dinosaurs; & Mao's Last Dancer. Not bad, IMO.
