Went back today to see if they put out any more titles (was hoping for Firefly and Dark Angel S2) - but nada. Same selection.

Couldn't walk away empty handed so I grabbed "The Lone Gunmen" complete series

Should have added that these are on a display and also they had The Shield season 1 AND 2.

Fine!

I'd rather be all over Dark Angel anyway.

Went today just to look for Firefly and Shield Season 2. Found no display and no spots on the shelf for either title. Was about to give up hope when I found a Firefly just sitting in a cart full of assorted dvds. Checked at one of their scanners and sure enough it was 19.99. Thought I was lucky until I seen it had two slim cases for disc 2 and no case for disc one. Oh well I bought it anyway and will just exchange it at another location.

Got Firefly and Murder One at Fox Valley area (IL). There were no prices on them, but they were all together. Thanks!

I got Dark Angel S2 and Tru Calling (don't think that one was mentioned yet). No Firefly, checked 2 different Wal-Marts, looked in all DVD areas. I didn't realize Remington Steele was part of this! I saw it in a different area. I may have to go back for that one...

Thanks for the heads-up on Tru Calling. I've wanted to try this show only if I could pick it up on the cheap. Now I can.

I just got our Walmart ad, and it looks like this is supposed to be a Dec 26-30 sale. Some store just jumped the gun by a week I think.

This is actually good news for those of us who couldn't find the display

... unless it's a Canada thing.

As much as I hate going to a store the day after Christmas, it might be worth a quick.... and I do mean QUICK... visit.

Well, the local store still doesn't have the display but they did in another store a few miles away. They were already out of Firefly.

I did grab Murder One and The Shield Season 2.

Thanks OP!

would anyone be willing to pick up "Firefly" for me? I am starting to convert after watching "Serenity" and I would love the series at that price. I could trade some DVD's or whatever.

If so e-mail. Thanks in advance.

Good, because I didn't find any of these boxsets at any of my local Walmarts.

The list above isn't good enough? Or do you think there may actually be more titles that we missed?

The OP listed <10 titles with a YMMV disclaimer.
A later poster listed twice the titles, but is in Canada.
Now that there's an actual printed ad, I'd like to know what it says... if that's okay with you.

I went to two different Walmart's in Columbus Ohio and neither had Firefly. I am hoping that it is advertised in their ad so I can pricematch it. Best Buy has it for 40 bucks still and it just isn't worth that.
