I saw it within the past three weeks here. I bought both volumes as a Christmas present for one of my nephews, but have no interest in owning it myself.

Liontamer, I don't know where you are located but, I just saw Zentrix Season One at the Knoxville Big Lots on N. Broadway. This was Friday.

which Pittsburgh Pa store?
I saw a Momento, a river runs through it, and a few others a few weeks ago at the McKees Rocks store, and I have a seen a lot of the titles mentioned at the West mifflin store and a feew South of Pittsburgh (eg Belle vernon, Uniontown)

Thanks for letting me know it's still out there. Unfortunately, I'm in upstate SC though.

I went to the store by century III behind the mall and say many copies of Squid and the whale. I took a trip to Belle Vernon yesterday and they had tons of them there as well along with some other titles... Kiss Kiss bang bang was another one I saw.

I did see at another store, "The Profiler season 4" for 14 bucks. sells for 89 on bestbuy.... I suppose this is a good deal?

Liontamer grabbed a copy of S-Cry-Ed 3, Volume 1 and I have one too. It's the volume ed including 1-10 episodes.

Yeah, it took a lot of looking, but I did eventually find one copy between the 5 stores I've been to in the last month.

Is the 3 a typo? Does it look like this?

^
Not really a typo, I know it's confusing, I was going to clear it up yet again

On the security seal sticker on the top of the case it says:
"S-Cry-Ed 3 Volume 1" or something to that effect meaning it is the S-Cry-Ed 3 Volume version, of which each volume (Anime Legends 1-3) contains 2 of the regular 6 volume releases.

Confusing enough?

...
Still no new stock in NH for 3 straight weeks

I belive it says, "S-Cry-Ed 3 Volume Edition Vol. 1" on the sitcker, indicating (as you said) that it is volume 1 of 3.

Hey folks,
Here's what's new in Big Lots in the Bay Area, California. I visited three of the stores in our area this Friday to beat the weekend rush and see what the new offerings would be. The sad news is that the wonderful Anime series seem to have run their course here. There were NO new anime offerings. This weeks offerings were very heavy on the kids fare. Four or five different Sesame Street DVDs, I picked up CinderElmo for $4 for the kids. In addition, here's what I picked up and noted was new in all of the stores I visited today:

The Best of Rocky and Bullwinkle Vol 1
The Best of Boris and Natasha Vol 1
The Best of Dudley Do-Right Vol 1
The Best of Peabody & Sherman Vol 1
Baby Genius: A trip to the San Diego Zoo

They had several other Baby Genius, quite a few Casper DVDs, Best of collections for Little Lulu. Like a say, a good day to pick up stuff for the little ones.

I also scored "Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different", but that was a remainder from previous shipments. All the above DVDs were $4.

Here's hoping for a resumption of Anime or Adult fare in the coming months. God bless and happy hunting.

For $3, I found Angels Over Broadway starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Rita Hayworth from 1940. Also found the tin of Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 1 for $13

...and mine *still* has the same 30 or so left-overs from the past 6 weeks...

Came home with Van Demme's 'Wake of Death' for weekend viewing of guilty pleasure. You wouldn't believe this - someone had so neatly sliced through the length of the case and removed the disc from inside while preserving the shrink wrap.

This is the sort of thing that always makes me avoid stores like Big Lots, Walmart and their likes - inviting society's dregs and giving them all the 'encouragement' to make away with merchandise. To top it all, I have to drive to ghetto areas. Fcuk it, no more Big Lots - I feel like I have contracted some disease when I am there.

How desperate does someone have to be to steal a $3 disc???

In L.A, they'll shoot you for $2 - thats how bad this area is.

I also did see plenty of the "Best of" volumes. Decided not to buy. I could NEVER understand why "Best of" volumes would be released. Wouldn't season sets work better. If you're a fan of the series, I'd figure season set buys would be the way to go. Watching episodes in chronological order seems to be much more satisfying.

Didn't buy and just figured those available episodes would show up on season sets.

I regard the Best of Volumes as samplers for the uncommitted or just cheap alternatives for the kids. I'm not a big Rocky and Bullwinkle fan, although I did grow up with the cartoons. These samplers are a great way to expose my little ones to the cartoons without a major investment on my part. I agree that true fans of the series wouldn't be satisfied with just a taste, when the whole meal is available.

I would like to point out however that quite a few of "The Best Of " series that I listed included episodes that have not yet been released, (ie episodes from the not yet released Volume 4 of Rocky and Bullwinkle for example), so die hard fans that can't wait, or in the event that sales are so slow that the studio fails to complete the entire series, would have an opportunity to buy episodes they are missing.

[I could NEVER understand why "Best of" volumes would be released. Wouldn't season sets work better. If you're a fan of the series, I'd figure season set buys would be the way to go. Watching episodes in chronological order seems to be much more satisfying.]

I've got the Best Ofs for Rocky & Bullwinkle and Boris & Natasha and, except for one story of the R&B disc, these don't appear anywhere else ... and sadly, probably never will.

From what I've read, many episodes in the already-released season sets have been "juggled" a bit (like introducing Dudley Do-Right earlier in the mix than he was originally, etc) and Classic Media finds themselves with episodes featuring Dudleys, Peabodys, Fractured Fairy Tales and the like that they've already used. Perhaps they're trying to avoid the expected "I've already got this" complaints (though why they didn't think anyone would complain over their watermark is anyone's guess).

As a long-time fan, I'm pretty bummed that season sets seem to have gone the way of the Dodo, but at least I can still get previously-unreleased stories (BTW: Classic Media, there are still more. Let's have 'em).

While I prefer the full season sets (and like others am frustratedly awaiting Season 4), at the *right* price (~$4 at BL would do) I might purchase a couple of the "best ofs" for no other reason than to get a quick fix on a single character or get a few of those eps. that are not yet on DVD. BUT the full season sets have been as low as $12 each with far more content, so...

Well, over the last two weeks, seems like a few of the Big Lots stores here in the St. Louis area got a nice sized Sony restock, including a lot of the same titles listed (Batman serials, Steamboy, Freedomland - new one to the stock, along with the Escapist). As for anime....nothing new in quite awhile, plus my anime cache store got raided pretty good, so there's HARDLY anything left at ANY of the stores now.

This Saturday, I hit Hannibal, MO & Quincy, IL, and then next Monday or Tuesday, I'll be hitting a few of the Kansas City area stores. I'll update when I return from those trips.

It's not that they are desperate, they are Kleptomaniacs

Anyways, it bothers me when I see that. Once I bought a $2.00 DVD that was stolen lol.

Hit my three BL stores this morning and they've all restocked more of the same Columbia-Tri Star titles we've been seeing. Additionally, the Brooklyn Center store has a bunch of Mill Creek 20 & 50 movie packs and 4-disc television boxes. I was surprised to see the fairly new Cisco Kid, Ultimate Pirates and Hitchcock boxes. I also saw three of the 4-disc Very Best of One Step Beyond sets. The four discers were all $6 each. For some reason the Brklyn Ctr store is the only one I've see to feature these in stock.

Hey folks, just picked up a bunch of 20% off your entire Big Lots purchase in my Bay Area California Big Lots. These coupons are only good for Sunday Feb 24 2008 during special hours for Friends and Family Night. The special hours are 6 pm- 9 pm (until 10 pm for stores that close at 7pm or 8 pm). I don't know if this special sale is nation wide, so go ahead and call or visit your local Big Lots to ask about it. The coupons I picked up at the cash register at the Big Lots store were Xerox copies already cut to size stating 20% off for the special Friends and Family Sale on the evening of Feb 24. I sure hope the DVD inventory improves between today and Sunday because all they have on the shelves are the kiddie DVDs that have been flooding into the Bay Area stores.

Might be a nationwide deal - I got a similar coupon this week as well.
