For folks who aren't finding them at your local Costco, you may want to look in areas you normally wouldn't. At the Costco on Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Angeles, they were hidden between the CDs and the music-concert DVDs, far away from the normal movie DVDs, for some reason. (Maybe because "Gimme Shelter" is one the Criterions?)

Well, none at mine (Eugene, OR). I also had looked through the CD section but didn't see it there either (though at the time, I was just browsing).

They had all the titles mentioned in this thread at Portland (NE) Costco. Stranger than Paradise, Night on Earth, Gimmie Shelter, Ice Storm, Fear and Loathing. Lots of each title. I don't think they'll sell out any time soon.

Anyways, spotted some Criterions yesterday at the Costco in the Concord/Pleasant Hill area:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Ice Storm
Night on Earth
Stranger Than Paradise
I'm pretty sure there were a couple more titles, but those are the ones I could remember.

I was amazed to find these titles at the Honolulu Costco (Ala Kawa St.), since we usually don't get everything the bigger markets get. Unfortunately I already have the only title I'm interested in (Gimme Shelter), which i got last year for $10.00 when Tower was going out of business.
