Costco -- Finally, new (and old) box sets, some at good prices!
Just hit my local Costco and found the following sets and prices. Some they haven't had before, while others are back, some at cheaper prices. At any rate, it was good to see so many sets at Costco for a change.

Mr. Moto Volume 1: $29.89
The Elvis Collection: $31.89

Cary Grant: $21.99
Judy Garland (7 movies!): $21.99
Alfred Hitchcock: $64.99
Greta Garbo: $64.99
Humphrey Bogart: $64.99 (lousy price for the content)
Henry Fonda: $25.99
Bogart & Bacall: $25.99

Was Humphrey Bogart Volume 1 or Volume 2. Both are not due to be released until October. Volume 1 contains previous releases like Casablanca
Volume 2 contains new to DVD stuff like the 3 disc Maltese Falcon.
I believe the Bogart set was the 2003 "The Bogart Collection" (with Casablanca/The Maltese Falcon/To Have and Have Not/The Big Sleep/The Treasure of the Sierra Madre), so I shouldn't have called it the Signature Collection. My bad -- writing names and prices down too fast.
Which brings up a point -- Bogart is being repackaged and repackaged way too many times. Hope we don't have to buy whole sets just to get one or two titles we don't have.

This is most excellent. I'm glad that Costco has returned to form. I too had noticed that their section had grown meager and had actually been shrunk down. I went yesterday and picked up the Cary Grant, James Stewart, Film Noir Set 3, and the Pink Panter Movie Collection. I was hoping for a Chaplin number 1, but didn't see any. I also wanted to pick up a Hitchcock for a gift, but all the copies they had seemed pretty beat up. I'm planning on going back and picking up a Garland though. I also am thinking about getting the Mr. Moto set.

I talked to a couple managers at the local Costco (in Colorado) as they were looking over the DVD section. They were not so optimistic that the general inventory would grow back to where it used to be and claimed that DVD revenues had been dropping. Box sets are still popular, but at least one of them felt there is no need for Costco to carry stuff that's already very low cost (like the stacks of under $10 stuff). They also blamed the general shrinkage of the DVD section on the lack of decent new releases.
I suggested they start carrying Criterion stuff, but they had no idea what I was talking about.

Same as Simpsons season 8.
