Thanks! I'll be sure to look for Strangers on a Train and North by Northwest.

Modesto, CA
 

Out here on the West Coast I haven't seen any of the Paramount or the WB titles recently mentioned. The other day I found a small new batch of "family titles" for $2 (mostly new bad TV animation stuff, but "My Girl 2" FS was among them).

The new batch of Mill Creek packs finally got here, so I picked up "Nightmare Worlds: 50 Pack" for $13.

Also found was a few copies of "Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different" WS/FS for only $3.

Went to Big Lots and picked up

Squid and the whale
Crimson rivers
Step into liquid
the passenger
Steamboy
breakfast on pluto

ALL FOR 12 bucks!

Don't know if this was mentioned anywhere on these numerous pages, but I found Creature Comforts Season 2 new and sealed for $3 even.

My local Big Lots had a bunch of Dragonball Z and Yu-Gi-Oh discs today. I didn't pay attention to what, but I thought I'd throw it out there if anyone is into that stuff. I think they were $3 each.

I found some Yu-Gi-Oh season 1 sets for $15
not my thing but thought it might be for someone on this list.

Found Madeline ws/fs and Creature Comforts Season 2 for $3 each.

Got for $3 each.
Creature Comforts Season 2
And Now For Something Completely Different
My Girl 2

For some reason, that's the same 2 I bought. :D

Just found another copy of one of the original Cowboy Bebop single disc DVD's tonight among the new $3.00 anime DVD's.

Picked up V4 tonight.

Have already found v3, v6, and the Best Sessions(2dvds)set.

Thats 3 out of 6, anyone else find any more volumes?

I also picked up V. 4 of Cowboy Bebop today. I didn't see 6 so I've only got 2 of the 6 so far.

Just picked up a copy of the Batman Serials collection yesterday...also saw Creature Comforts and the Enron doc, but I've already got those two.

$4.90
Stephen Kings Perfect Zone
An Almost Perfect Affair
The Firm
PBS Carter family
PBS dare to repair

And much much more, but their all $4.90.

I miss already the $3.00 DVDs

Perfect Zone?

^
Probably The Dead Zone, likely the older version?
http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Zone-Chri...7945193&sr=1-8

It is The Dead Zone, but it's the newer special edition. I saw it today too. There were a lot of other titles, but nothing particularly notable, and nothing at all that stood out as being worth the $4.90. If this is the new price point my days of DVD shopping at Big Lots may be ending.

Ah, cool. Don't think it's worth an upgrade for me though.

What's so bad about $4.90? What are you paying for all your other dvds that makes $4.90 so bad?

More stuff to add to the Paramount $4.90 list:
An Everlasting Piece
Foul Play
An Almost Perfect Affair
Lords Of Discipline
Dirty Deeds
Blue Collar Comedy Tour: One For The Road (FS or WS not sure, sorry)
Not For Ourselves Alone (PBS)

Mentioned before, but in my stores, these titles are all in a separate section; on a regular shelf or on a table, not in the usual rack with the other dvds. I would have missed them if I wasn't browsing the rest of the store the other day. There are lots of these dvds, many copies of each title.

"Family" titles:
Madeline
Creature Comforts S2
My Girl 2
Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different (this is the older version)
Soccer Dog
Are We There Yet?

these were also among lots of various Berenstain Bears titles and some other stuff

and there is still one lone BF $2 copy of Steamboy left in the Amherst store. It's on the rack on the opposite side of where most of the dvds are. It's pretty much on it's own next to some Barbie junk or something. ;)

It's not so much that $4.90 is bad. It's just too much for me to take a chance on something mediocre. At $2, or even $3, I'm willing to try basically anything that looks even remotely interesting. At $4.90 it's going to have to be more than that or I'll just cycle another Columbia House account.

Now I'm not going to stop paying attention. Big Lots can come up with some real gems from time to time, and I'll be ready for those. I'm just not going to be going in there and buying random movies I've never heard of like I have before. I suppose instead of saying my days of shopping there were ending, I should have said my buying would decrease quite a bit. That would be more accurate.

The prices seem to depend on the companies that put the DVDs out- since those are Paramount titles they might have cost the store more to get than the ones they got from Sony (still haven't seen any Paramounts in my area.) Still wondering what the deal with the Sony titles was that they were able to sell them so insanely cheap.

They don't seem to mark down stuff that doesn't sell- most stores here have a bunch of "The Kid Stays In The Picture" for $4.99 that's been there almost a year, I'm just waiting for it to drop below $4.00 before I get it.

"Madeline" is on Sony's foolscreen-reissue casualty list so if you want it grab the old disc while you can. I got Creature Comforts and got 2 discs inside- one is all of the season 2 episodes, the other is "Merry Christmas Everybody!" That one was first in the case, not sure which order I'm supposed to watch them in.

I picked up:

And Now For Something Completely Different
The Dead Zone

Both have been on my radar for ages.

Aren't we lucky to have Big Lots?

This sale at DD sums up all the Sony titles we've been getting at BL for months for much cheaper!

Big Lots :banana:

Wow. Can't believe how many of these titles I've picked up at BL and most of them for $2 - $3.

Just happened to run into a Big Lots store today and wondered over to the DVDs, not expecting much...instead I was surprised to find the following:

Rebel Without A Cause (2-disc)
The Philadelphia Story (2-disc)
Giant (2-disc)

Each of these were $4 each! There were 2 copies of The Philadelphia Story, single copies of the other 2 - needless to say, there weren't any of them after I left :)


EDIT: I see someone previously mentioned the RWAC 2-discer

Well figures that I quit coming in this thread for a while and new stuff pops up that I want. I am heading out to the area biglots in the next couple of days to look what I can find so can anyone tell me if the old batman serial you all picked up are in the cardboard sleeves or regular dvd cases? thanks!!

They're in regular DVD Cases. No slipcover.

deepdiscount ships them to my door for free

;)

also my BL stores have never had any of those 2disc editions for that cheap.. i wish they did

mostly the dvd selection here is crap

Thanks for the info! I have not been out to my local BL's in a while now but I always had a tendancy to skip over the ones in the cardboard sleeves. I hope I don't miss out on some good things by doing that as my BL's seem to always have tons if the cardboard sleeve ones.

The studio is also featured in the current Oldies.com print catalog (and online, I presume), offering "over 150 titles". The usual $2-$3 titles we've found at Big Lots are $5.95 or 5/$25 there. What's interesting is the appearance of Columbia/Tri-Star Television box sets in this sale, mostly 1st season. TJ Hooker, Police Woman, Fantasy Island at $19.99 is ok, but what would they cost at BL? Keep your eyes open.

Well I only had time to hit 2 of my local BL's this evening and did not find the Batman serial but I did pick up these:
The Wild Bunch Original Director's Cut $4.00
Flash Gordon The Dominion of Ming 12 episodes (I love these with Buster Crabbe!) (vintage movie classics -hopefully there is not a watermark on the screen constantly) it is in a very nice slipcover with a fold out front $2.99
Monty Python's and now for something completly different $3.00
and a couple of Anime
Outlaw Star 8 episodes on 2 discs (19-26) $3.00
Cowboy Bebop 3rd session $3.00

These have all already been talked about in this thread I imagine but hey I am late to getting in on the biglots fun but am really wanting to join in!

Sorry about the wrong title on the Stephen King DVD

I haven't seen the Batman Serial at my local stores. The only ones I've seen again from previous sales are Mozart and the Whale $3, Christmas with the Kranks $3 and Timothy Goes to school $4, but very, very few copies.

I don't know how BG stores do their stocking, it's so unpredictable Some stores don't have the $4.90 titles yet.

A couple of days ago, I got The People vs. Larry Flynt and The Squid and The Whale for $2 each at my local Big Lots.

Modesto, CA
 

So true, some of the titles mentioned here a month ago just showed up at my local BL last weekend. Picked up for $3 each:

The Passenger
Memento: Limited Edition Two Disc Set
Flatliners
Casualties of War: Extended Cut
Capote / In Cold Blood
Closer

So at this rate, I might see the $4.90 titles after New Year's...

Dang, I had no idea about Big Lots. I think the last time I was in mine they only had those cheap $1 dvds of old cartoons like Betty Boop. I'll have to look a little closer.

I bought the same DVD and watched the first full chapter - no watermark. :thumbsup:

Not to go too far off topic, but Big Lots has a 32" Olevia LCD HDTV on sale now thru 12/24 for $449. It's a refurb, but I can vouch for this being a great TV for the price as I bought one new from CC back this summer for $550.

My DVDs look very very good on it using my Oppo upconverting player and the HDMI input!

i have that Olevia TV as well, got it at KMart the day before Thanksgiving for $419

Yeah, I saw them for that price in their Thanksgiving ad and would have picked up another one if I had the money in my budget that week, but everything was tied up for Black Friday.

Today I got:

$4.00:
Strangers on a Train 2-disc
North by Northwest (first release)
Rebel Without a Cause 2-disc
East of Eden 2-disc
Giant 2-disc
Philadelphia Story 2-disc

$3.00:
And Now for Something Completely Different

Not bad.... :)
