Starchaser was originally in 3-D, but of course the DVD isn't. I have a legit VHS tape of it in field-sequential 3-D put out in 1990.

I have yet to see any of the new MGM/Funimation/Bandai bricks around here. I am all over the claymation Mark Twain and the Galaxy Angel set if they ever show up.

Two more MGMs found today not in the master list:

Code Of Silence (Chuck Norris)
Desperate Hours (Mickey Rourke, Anthony Hopkins)

The Kingshighway store in St. Louis now has the new wave of MGM discs, I grabbed about 8 discs.

Have any of these new shipments of Big Lots DVD's (MGM, Funimation, etc.) been showing up in Texas yet?

I haven't had any luck at my Big Lots but I know of one I might try out if I get word back that some locations in Texas have been getting them.

Fortunately, I bought the SE early, too.

Is anyone aware of other MGM (not Columbia Tristar) titles which were similarly downgraded by Sony? Looks like I'll have to spend hours (or days) researching this as I did for the Columbia Tristar debacle.

Store in Pasadena(Tx) on Spencer Hwy/Red Bluff has a small MGM display - which they put up in the last day or 2. Went to one north of I-10 on BW8 East (Galena Park area I think - Wallisville Rd exit) and they have a large (double - 6 sides) display of MGM titles - put out today they said.

Between the 2 stores, I went a little overboard(uurrrpppp! ). Picked up over 60 titles. Out of those being in my collection already, I find that I'll be returning about 10.

Just got back from big lots and picked up the following.

The Thing With Two Heads (Midnight Movies)
Bat 21
A View to a Kill (Special 007 Edition)
King Solomans's Mines (Richard Chaberlain)
Code of Silence

Saw

The Pink Panther (1963 Old Version)
Frogs
Class
Meteor Man

Went yesterday and picked-up a few more I initially overlooked and some due to recommendations in this thread:

Inspector Clouseau
Slaughter's Big Rip-off
Code 46
Paths of Glory (Kubrick)
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes


Unfortunately I never did find those SE versions of Bowling for Columbine or The Sure Thing. Had I known better I probably would have walked out with the right versions since I had first dibs.

The reason I said that was because this DVD Talk review specifically mentioned it as being a 2-disc version. I thought maybe it was the same situation as with "Jeepers Creepers", which started out as a SE flipper and then in later pressings became a double disc SE until finally ending up as the dreaded 'downgraded' version. Whatever the case may be, I didn't get the good version so who gives a damn.


Sweet! Those definitely weren't on the master list.

Thanks for the heads up, Paul. I went there after work and bought 7 titles myself.

Sterling, VA got a handful of the new anime titles in (no season sets or cubes) - nothing exciting.

Thanks Paul1957 - I'll be swinging by that store Wednesday, if there's anything left at that store, after you guys swept through!

This one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...5575907&sr=1-6

Hope so, I was hoping it would show up at some point since all the PP films were in the first recent MGM wave. And I'm still holding out for the new version of PP Strikes Again too.

Nope... Its the old transfer, i would have bought it if it was the new one.

The MGM display has arrived at Knollwood (St. Louis Park, MN.) I picked up:

21 Hours At Munich
Be Cool (WS)
Boxcar Bertha
Bowling For Columbine
Bubba Ho-Tep (CE)
Eat Drink, Man Woman (World Films)
Falcon & the Snowman

Midnite Movies:

A Bucket of Blood
Dunwich Horror
Fall of the House of Usher
Killer Klowns From Outer Space
X-The Man With X-Ray Eyes

And all the Pink Panther-related titles.

My wife is gonna kill me.

I just went by the other day and I couldn't find ANY of the HBO dvd or superbits did big lots get rid of them? I'm in San Antonio, TX btw.

Thanks!

picked up 105 titles.

I know I will keep about 20.

Most glad to get Frogs, Speechless, Konga, some Midnite movies mentioned, Rage: Carrie 2, Young Doctors In Love, Red Square

May return some of the rest. I usually buy anything I might be intrested in and then research them to see if they are keepers. The problem is I usually keep most of them, but I've found some real gems.

These "deals" are killing me!

I would guess they either never got any of those titles or they sold out quickly.

The BL near me only got a *few* of the HBO titles mentioned. While there were 4-5 copies of some titles, others (mainly the season sets) had only 1 copy. The HBO titles were pretty much gone within 3 days.

There are 2-3 copies each of the 2 Superbit titles this store received left on the shelf. They had 15-20 each when they hit the shelves originally.

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about movies, but I have to admit that this MGM display just about defeated me. The stuff I knew was good, I already owned. After looking at gobs and gobs of titles, I walked out with two. Maybe I'll go back after i do some research. But maybe part of it was the $650 auto repair bill I got right before going to BL. That will put a cold chill in any bargain DVD search...

[QUOTE=Autolycus]
Columbia TriStar/Sony Titles
Batman: The Complete 1943 Movie Serial Collection

I'm curious,How many of you actually seen these titles at BL?

better haul than my last go-around

the brood
3-iron
bubba ho-tep ce
rollerball (1975)
paths of glory
electra

I've seen (and purchased) all of those except for Hitchhiker vols 2 and 3.

Ditto, except I didn't buy Howling 2. Some BL's just suck and don't have a good stock of dvds. Titles and stock will vary depending on the area you live in. I'm glad my area rocks.
