that makes me sad. even if it was only $3.00... although it's still shrinkwrapped, so i'm hoping you actually OPEN it and ENJOY because it is a great show

random question though: why did you remove/replace the price tag? on the first pic, the $3.00 tag is on the right. in the toilet pics, it's on the left.

The Price tag's position is an indirect response to Brent L's doubt that "it wouldn't be hard to take a couple of the $3 stickers off of something else and slap it on those two sets".

Which is indeed true (as you can see at the photo image below), I peeled it off and it can easily be slapped to another place ( in this case.. from right to left).

I can die happy! Hilarious! And, yes, I believe! Helluva deal!

I saw Bullitt at my local BL yesterday. It was in a snapper case with both FS and WS versions so I assume it's flipper disc. It was priced at $4.

Yeah it goes to Volume 7.

Just an FYI to those comments about Big Lots receipts. They do have a new system coming with normal thermal receipts that give more information. Granted, they still will not give the DVD title because they scan generic UPC's, but you can tell the DVD distributor. For instance, my receipt says "DVD VIDEO SONY ASST #1". The non-DVD items on my receipt were very detailed with the product description because they scanned the actual product UPC. One of the Big Lots in my area has this, but they said it is coming everywhere soon...

Yeah, they have the new system in all the stores around NH now:

Hi Folks, can anyone recommend specific Big Lots locations in PA or NJ that they had good luck with? I've been to a few around me and can't seem to find any that had a decent movie selection.

Thanks in advance.

when do new shipments of dvds usually arrive at big lots stores?

I've had stores tell me "the truck" comes either Friday or Monday. I guess it's truly YMMV.

As I said in the very post you quoted of me, I didn't doubt you at all, and only gave a reason why I'd doubt anyone who I wasn't familiar with as I am with you. Great job on the pics.

They don't have a trend, they arrive whenever, at different times in different stores, sometimes days/weeks apart. I would go Saturday morning since you'll be ahead of the weekend buyers. Best way to know is actually this board.

I know the just got a bunch of merchandise (a lot!) but no DVDs yet.

Where in socal are you finding these juicy big lots. Ive never found much at the big lots around me (north OC). Any DVD talkers got a lead on decent big lots in north oc or south LA county?

I noticed a lot of new ones today....El Matador, Murderball and some others I was looking forward to for $4 each....then I noticed they were the previously viewed DVDs....so I didn't buy them.

I did spot one title that I hadn't seen before, Mamoru Oshii's The Red Spectacles. It's a Bandai title, so it's conceivable that it got mixed in with the anime blowout...but it also has an old Media Play price tag on it, which I've never seen on any other title there. I'm wondering if someone just slapped a Big Lots sticker on it (kind of like that guy who threw Heroes in the toilet ) and returned it to get $3 back. If so, he probably even made money on it; I spent less than $3 on several titles during Media Play's final days.

I hit a couple of new Big Lots in the Alhambra to Monrovia area (in SoCal). The most exciting find was a ton of Sony Wonder/Classic Media titles including:

The Best of Rocky and Bullwinkle, Vol. 1
The Best of Boris and Natasha, Vol. 1
The Best of Mr. Peabody & Sherman, Vol. 1
The Best of Dudley Do-Right, Vol. 1
Casper - A Spirited Beginning
Casper's Spookiest Tales
The Best of Little Lulu - Vol. 1

And a TON of Seasame Street/Elmo titles.

They were all 4 bucks each.

No, I've seen it in at least two stores (bought it from one just because, actually)

I've also seen The Red Spectacles for $3.00 at Dollar General mixed in with the Bandai anime titles they carry (I bought one there last year).

Be warned that The Red Spectacles is not really an action movie as the box artwork suggests - it's more like a Japanese David Lynch movie - strange and surreal, a bizarre hybrid of several genres.

My brother hated it but I kinda liked it - I guess I have a greater tolerance for the avant-garde.

Have also seen The Red Spectacles among the Bandai anime assortments, just forgot to mention it before

It has an orwellian feel to it, and coincidentally I just watched it tonight. It's the first part of a trilogy which Oshii made, it seems to be an homage or satire of a bunch of different styles, I will have to watch it again before I take it all in.

Xage...I'm sorry...but still not sold on you getting the Heroes set from Big Lots for $3. If you put it in the toilet and took a crap on it that would seal the deal and you'd be the man!

lol, that would be funny and disgusting at the same time. made me giggle.

Here are the ones I saw from Columbia/Tristar/Sony Pictures. They were all $3.00 each. They must have just re-stocked, since they were all neatly shelved.

Closer - Superbit
Pulse
Peep Show
Bottoms Up
The Escapist
Final Fantasy-The Spirit Within - Special Edition 2 Disc
Striking Range
Out of Reach
Dean Martin Double Feature - Who was that Lady? and How to save a marriage. Both remastered in high definition
Batman - The 1943 serial collection 2 disc
Freedomland
The Order
The Lords of Flatbush
Where the Truth Lies - Unrated Theatrical Edition
Blue Thunder SE
Heights

If you run across "Beautiful Country" from Sony Pictures Classics, grab it. I just finished watching it and was very moved. Nick Nolte's appearance is limited to the final twenty minutes or so, but he's just top-shelf. Best $3 I ever spent.

I went to two stores today (one of which must have had a major restock), and was able to get a pretty good haul. I even managed to find one copy of Vol. 1 of the S-Cry-Ed 3 volume edition, completing my set for a total of $8 + tax. I still can't find Zentrix Season One though; is it still popping up anywhere? Other than that I was able to find:

Mars Daybreak Vol. 1-6
Capote/In Cold Blood Double Feature
Yukikaze Vol. 1-3 (volumes 2 & 3 are the 2-disc versions)
Gundam Seed Movie II & III

The Zentrix Season One set is about the only thing left that I'd like to find (other than maybe the Batman serials one) since I got the Season Two last week. I might go back and get the Fantastic Children volumes if I spot the lone missing one from those two stores, Vol. 3, somewhere. Thanks for the heads up on the good selection at Big Lots!

Didn't see anything at the pittsburgh,pa BigLots store except for "The Squid and the Whale" for 3 dollars. I'm going to check the store in my hometown today... I will post my finds!
