if you wind up liking this series, this set is only half of the series, there is a better box set available with the full series plus bonus features, you can prob find it on amazon for about 20 bucks.

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind. I probably won't get to it for a while though. Any thoughts from you about the series itself? It looks pretty low budget to me and I'm pretty skeptical.

Knollwood (St. Louis Park, MN.) has restocked. All $3:

Memento 2 disc LE
Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (WS/FS)
Casualties of War Extended Cut
A River Runs Through It 2 disc DE
Blue Submarine No. 6 3 disc SE box

I also picked up an extra Batman '43 serials as trade bait for any of these 2 disc sets:

Strangers on a Train
Rebel Without a Cause
Giant
East of Eden

You don't want the Blue Submarine movie. It's just an edited re-hash of the series and a poor one at that.

wouldnt exactly really call it low budget, its pretty well done, and i found it kind of similar to firefly, the joss whedon series.

I noticed that 2 of the 3 area stores seemed to have been restocked this week, one was really heavy on Anime, and the other one was mainly movies. The one with just movies had $3 titles (most of which I've seen before) and a new bunch marked $4.90 is this a new price point?

I missed D.E.B.S. back in December, I thought I picked it up but went back through the bags and must have skipped it. Is it still around anywhere?

Any chance any of the anime titles match my running list? If so, any chance you'd be willing to hook me up? :)

And 4.90 appeared as a price point a few weeks ago.

If anyone runs across Cowboy Bebop session 1, 2, 5, or 6, I'm still looking...<hint, hint>

[QUOTE=Edison]I noticed that 2 of the 3 area stores seemed to have been restocked this week, one was really heavy on Anime, and the other one was mainly movies.

I made it out this weekend to one of my local biglots and noticed the same thing on the anime. I thought it strange as this biglots has hardly ever had any anime stuff in the past and I walked in and there was like 2 1/2 shelves of anime! I will be going back over there in the next day or 2 as well as hitting one or two other local ones so I can try and help anyone out looking for some certain titles if I can. I myself am still hunting for the 40's batman serial others have found.

Neil, check you message inbox.

[QUOTE=NeilJ]Darn! I had a copy then returned it after I read the awful reviews of it...guess I should've held onto it for someone.

[QUOTE=FangsFirst]It's actually quite good and a lot of fun!

Yes, there is no Batmobile (it's the Wayne sedan), it is very un-PC (based on stereotypes of the Japanese villain... however, we *were* at war during those years and propaganda plays a major role here), Batman is an operative for the U.S. Government (very un-Batman like, but again the war thing), and it's somewhat campy. BUT... it *is* a serial made in the early 40s. These were aimed at a 10-13 year old male audience. The cliff-hangers are more plausible, better explained and executed than most serials I've seen. Lots of action sequences with Batman and Robin frequently getting the crap knocked out of them (but always coming out on top in the end). The costumes are actually pretty good considering the year and budget for these things. The BatCave is a hoot! The musical score is very good and atmospheric with the opening credits having the best. The video and audio are quite good for a serial from the 40s. If you like serials it's a must-see. For $3 there is quite a bit of entertainment value and an excellent "blind buy".

[QUOTE=FangsFirst]I am going tonight so if you get a chance send me your current want list and I will look. I am sure we can work out something as I do like to help others out on here as I have been helped in the past. :)

[QUOTE=NeilJ]PMing it to you in just a minute! :)

I didn't like the Batman serial collection for anyone that wants a different opinion. I found it racist, out-dated, and far too campy (for my tastes). I had a friend over, who happens to be Asian, and without even knowing what it was going to be like I put on the first disc to check it out. He couldn't believe they still sell this stuff even though it is obviously offensive and outdated. I'm not trying to say you WONT enjoy it. You very well might... but that is my opinion on it. I wasn't a fan of the old Batman TV series anyway so It might appeal to fans of that show. I wouldn't know. However, as a big Batman Comic Book fan (Frank Miller's work), Batman: TAS, and Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan's film adaptations, I was disappointed.

Neil, if you wouldn't mind looking for a few for me as well, I just sent you a PM. :)

Haha, I already sent him your list, too! :)

Thanks! Your package is in the mail, by the way.

Cheers! I mailed one to a friend of mine simultaneously, and he just got it, so yours ought to be there in another day or two at least. one hopes...

It came today and looks great, thanks. I left feedback for you in the Good Trader's thread.

No sign of a Batman for Neil yet, but I did find Wolf's Rain 4 for myself. I'll be set once I find Volume 1 and the OVA (which I think is listed as Volume 7 on the security sticker?).

Visited the BG last night that had lots of anime when I was in there on Saturday and wow someone had hit it hard! Anyway picked up the following (3 bucks for each) :

cowboy bebop 6th session

Then some stuff for FangsFirst and Printerati:

Gundam 0083
Planetes vol 6
Overman King Gainer Exodus 6
Mars Daybreak Vol 6 ( 2 copies)

Not much off your lists but but at least there were a few. I will be visiting some more biglots on Saturday so I will keep looking for you guys. There were a ton of mars daybreak vol 3 but sadly neither of you needed that one!
Did not see any of the 2 disc like rebel without a cause, giant, etc. and of course no batman. :( Hopefully this Saturday I will find some of the other stuff!

Found at local BL:

Best Defense

North Dallas Forty

South Pacific {Glenn Close}

Thanks for checking, Neil. I've got multiple copies of the "Batman" serials and still looking for the two-disc "Strangers on a Train", "Bandwagon" or the three Dean SEs.

Well on impulse today on my lunch hour I decided to hit up a little "baby" biglots that is close to my office (I work over in Louisville) and they had a ton of dvds stocked up which really surprised me because this has to be the smallest biglots I have ever been in and the last time I was in there about 6 months ago they had zip. Anyway the bad news is of course no batman and no 2 JD 2 discers. I did however pick up:

mobile suit gundam seed vol 7
mobile suit gundam F91 - The motion picture 2 disc special edition

FangFirst your list you sent me just listed Gundam F91 so I dont know if this is what you were looking for or not. Figured I would snag it just in case. No biggie if its not as I will just return it when I am at the BL's on Saturday or see if someone else on here needs it.

I am after both of those! Awesome! PMed you to confirm because I'm compulsive like that ;)

Found (and bought) at Westwood Plaza BL in Tallahassee:

Starship Troopers 2
An Evening with Kevin Smith 2 uncut
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within 2 disc se

$3 each. Pickings were slim, may have to try the bigger BL over by Sam's this weekend, where a buddy found Psychonauts for the PC for $6 last week.

Psychonauts has shown up at many stores I've been to.

Made a stop today, found that a store apparently discovered their stock of sony titles from christmas in the back and unloaded the monstrous pile of mementos, monster SEs, river runs through it, philadelphia, etc...
PS: found a 3 burials for ya, printerati!

Same here when I stopped in Amherst. No RRTI or Philadelphia, but lots of the other titles you mentioned and many of the other titles that have been found before.

I grabbed extras of all these for anyone that needs them, please email me, my PMs are pretty much full right now, so please email:

Batman (1943 serials)
Memento (2-disc)
Ali (DC)
DEBS

Cowboy Bebop 6
Panda Z (Vol.1) Vol.2 & 5 were also there
Wolf's Rain 2
Wolf's Rain 5

There were also copies of this stuff in the store I didn't grab:
Gundam 0083
Planetes vol 6
Overman King Gainer Exodus 6
mobile suit gundam F91 - The motion picture 2 disc special edition
S-Cry-Ed Vol3(legends)
S-Cry-Ed Vol6
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: The Empty Battlefield (Movie 1)
PandaZ Vol2
PandaZ Vol5

Blue Thunder SE
etc. etc.

e-mailed with my continuing list, interest in Movie 1 of SEED and inquiry about which volume(s) of 0083

Didn't get an email yet, try to resend?

I can try to see if they still have the SEED movie next time I stop by there but it might be a few days, and they may be gone by then, but I will try. Not sure which vols of 0083 there were, let me know what you are looking for.

I am heading to a biglots on my lunch hour again today. This biglots I didnt know about! lol! So sned me an updated list if you can FangsFirst in case basaro is hooking you up with some of your remaining titles.

Resent. If that doesn't work, I'll PM you my e-mail address if you can get your inbox cleared out enough :S

picked up Augustus with Peter O'Toole for 3 bucks, 3 hour epic about roman empire. it was fool screen and i usually only buy widescreen, but figured for 3 bucks what the hell. I am sure its no caligula, but might be good.

Well the biglots I went to at lunch today and had never been to before was a really nice big one and had quite a big selection of movies. Oddly enough though they had no cartoons or anime of any kind! I picked up body double SE for myself as I had even forgot this title was showing up quite a while back at BL's. I also picked up the 2 disc edition of Philidelphia for Basaro so looks like my batman serial search is finally over! This BL had a ton of spanish movies and spanish fitness dvds. I had not come across that before. Hopefully tomorrow when I hit a couple of more BL's I will turn up some more anime for you guys.

I believe it's supposed to be full-frame since it is a made-for-TV movie.

I guess my Batman serial search for Neil is finally over, too. :(






;)

Appreciate the updates and bumping of this thread... All the talk of some of the stores 'restocking' finally convinced me to stop in again. Found all the titles that I was interested in previously but had missed out on: Memento, Philadelphia, League of Their Own, River Runs Through It, Monster.

Yea they did 'restock' i got alot of the ones I'd been searching for as well.

Awesome!

OH man they had some awesome stuff this morning. I picked up (all for only #3):
Memento(2-Disk LE; They actually had AT LEAST 5 copies of this, I w as shocked considering how good of a deal this is, I already have a copy But I picked up one more just in case...)
League of Their Own: SE
River Runs Through It: Deluxe Edition,
Monster: SE,
Crazy in Alabama: SE,
Starship Troopers 2: SE.



Also I saw Urban legend(WS/FF), I Know What You Did Last Summer (WS/FF), Out of Reach (Steven Seagal STV flick), Meltdown (Pretty decent Die-Hard rip-off starring Jet Li) and others. Still can not find the Batman serials collection but thats ok since honestly its probably something I would never even watch. Big Lots is defintiely awesome though for getting these great titles.

Closer Superbit $3
Flatliners $2

Has anyone found copies of:
IGPX: Vol. 7
Outlaw Star: Vol. 1, 3
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket Vol. 2

I am looking for those. If anyone can find them and is willing to sell them to me at cost (obviously I will pay for shipping/packaging) or to trade for something I might be able to find at my Big Lots just let me know. The one I go to just recently got a lot of different anime titles.
