Finally found the dvd's at the Tuttle store (Dublin). Got a few copies of Fletch!!! Thanks to the people who mentioned that you would have to check near the inside of the rack (not an easy task).

Only 1/3 of the Wal-marts around here have them, and they won't let you move the stackable displays. All the people selling Fletches on ebay have depreciated the price significantly. Some are just selling for $10 now, so if you're buying them just to resale you may want to rethink.

As far as the displays, I have lifted them up when no one was around to find a Weird Science. Glad I did or else I wouldn'tr have found 1 of the two copies I saw in the display.

One a side note, I just can't get over the stupidity of some people on eBay.

Tell me about it.
However, on average, the final selling price now is about $12.50 . One just went for $15 before shipping.
Come about 2 weeks before Christmas, this might be back to normal in terms of pricing. But who knows with ebay.

I'm kinda surprised you found Fletch. I only saw the one on the top layer when I was there. Was yours deeper in the cube?

One of my local Wal Marts had a new $3.88 DVD display out today. I remember seeing The Mummy, but not the one with Brendan Fraser. A whole pile of really crappy movies I thought. I wouldn't have wanted any of them for a $1 even.

We lifted it up and found quite a few Fletch as well as about 5 Weird Science and actually several different titles that were not in the first layer at all.

A Pittsburgh area heads-up: The North Fayette store has TWO of these displays, one right at the front of the store and the other back in the aisle across from the photo dept, down a bit from the electronics area. I was there late Sunday (Oct. 30) night.
A quick look over both didn't find any copies of Fletch. But, you never know, there could be some deeper inside the cubes.
I'm on the fence about getting Jaws 2. I know I saw that one a lot, but don't remember it well. Not sure if it's as much a "must have" as the original.

Finally!
I went back this morning. They have a separate $4.88 endcap by the registers and there on top was a lone Weird Science! Didn't see another one there, or back at the display. There were still buried layers that could have contained some though. Still saw a few of Fletch too.
Another one I saw some of that I don't see mentioned here was Death Becomes Her.

And the standard edition of Sneakers.
Ended up selling the last two copies of Fletch for $15 on ebay last night so the total for all five was $105. Looks like I put them on just in time to sell the first three.
