Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

This is very YMMV. My nearby Walmart has some odd clearances.

On an endcap along with the $2.00 Merry Madagascar DVDs I reported earlier this year, they had some other titles for $2 each. They had: Up in the Air (George Clooney), Flicka 2, Charlie's Angels Full Throttle (Full Screen only), Private Parts (Howard Stern), Marathon Man (Dustin Hoffman), and a couple of other titles. I thought Up in the Air was misstocked until I took it to the scanner.

They also had and endcap full of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen single disc and a few of the Walmart exclusive 2-disc big screen editions for $3 each. Again, I took them to the scanner because I thought the sign on the endcap was incorrect but they rang up at $3.

Inline in their regular DVD section, they had Twilight New Moon with lenticular cover with walmart exclusive sneak peek of eclipse for only $5. The regular non-walmart exclusive was still around $17. They also had the last Star Trek movie single disc for $5.

Along with some of the above titles, I also picked up a Ghost House Underground double feature that included The Children and The Thaw for $9.00.

They also had two seperate Stephen King multi-feature 4 packs for $13 each. Some of the titles they included were Cujo, Jacob's Ladder, and Thinner.

$2 for Up in the Air is psychotic, great find! Wish my local Wal-mart was that insane, will check but I have my doubts (maybe Black Friday). Excellent movie.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

Must be a fluke, or maybe it's just a Texas thing, I just looked at my local WalMart here in Ohio, didn't see it, asked, they looked at me like I was crazy.....darn it...:( -kd5-

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

Today at Wal-mart I saw:

$14.96
X-Files S5
X-files S6

$24.96
Angel S1/Buffy S1

$29.96
X-Files S1/S2
X-Files S3/S4
Buffy S2/S3
Buffy S4/S5
Angel S2/S3
Angel S4/S5

All were in the new packaging style.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

Today, I saw both Seasons 1 & 2 of Reaper packaged together for $19.96

Basically, it was each season shrinkwrapped together with the front covers facing out, although a new insert cover was under the shrinkwrap indicating the 2 seasons' coverart side-by-side. Season 2 did not come with the slipcover, while Season 1 does.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

The new slimline versions of Stargate SG-1 are being packaged together. S1 & S2 were packaged together at Walmart for $24.96. Also, they're doing the same thing for Big Valley but I missed how much they were.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

That's an awesome deal for a great show. I wish it hadn't gotten canceled.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

The bargain bin looked like it was re-stocked at my local Wal-Mart and was overflowing so badly that I couldn't even look through it. I did manage to grab Pet Semetary collector's edition from it $5.00. I also got the 2 disc special edition of Predator for $7.50

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

Thanks for the heads up on this. Picked up a copy on Friday. I am looking forward to placing it next to my growing collection of "unjustly cancelled shows" such as Better off Ted, Life on Mars, Flash Forward, Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies, etc., etc., etc.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

Even less appeal to us Penguins fans out there ;)

Where is the 08-09 set at... THATS what I want... Give me a chance to delete that game 7 masterpiece off my DVR

On topic, Picked up South Park Seasons 7 & 9 for 10 apiece last night, awesome prices...now I need 8, 11, and 13 (on blu) to catch up

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

$15 seasons on the same display as the $15 BD 2-packs:

Entourage 1 & 2
Friday Night Lights S1
Everybody Loves Raymond (a few different seasons)
Friends (A few different)
Robot Chicken S3
Life S1
Buck Rogers (complete series)
Eureka (whatever that show is)

And a few others I've already forgotten.

Also a lot of $7 movie 2-packs. Too many to remember, but I did almost consider Demon Night / Bordello of Blood.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

That one has been popped up at Big Lots for $3, so it may be worth it to see if your store has any left.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

ymmv on this one, but this evening I found the complete tv series "birds of prey" for 16.95. was quite happy to find this at a good price as I am a big fan of comic book type action. for those unfamiliar with the series, it was a short lived (only 13 hour length episodes produced) expansion of the dc comics universe centering around a charactor named "huntress", who is the daughter of batman and the catwoman. and, as a bonus feature on this 4 disc set is the full series of a web based animated series called "gotham girls" which further expands on the dc comics universe.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

I hate finding things in the Wal-Mart $5 dump bin only to discover it was put there accidentally but I did find one gem . Yesterday I found WWE Born to Controversy: The Roddy Piper Story 3-DVD set and it actually rung up $5.

Also Wal-Mart put out some new value DVD sets:

Enterprise Season 1 $19.96 (for those that missed it before)
Ducktales Season 1 and 2 $12.96
WWE The Bret Hart Story $10

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

FYI these are 8.99 at Costco.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

As a longtime fan of Batman: The Animated Series, I've had my eye on this release just for the "Gotham Girls" web series. I'll keep an eye out for this; thanks!

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

I saw seasons 1 and 9 of Everybody Loves Raymond (they might have had seasons 2 and 3 as well, but I forget), for $15 individually. They also had seasons 2 and 9 of Friends. I know, random, right? What I found interesting was season 9 seemed to have been repackaged. It was in a standard-sized case, which was interesting. Season 2 was in the regular digipak case that they usually come in.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

With a list of shows like that, I dont even know why you'd even watching ABC...

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

I have no idea why they went back to the $5 bin, the shelves were perfect. With the bin you can't get a good look at everything, it constantly overflows, and the discs in eco-cases get all smashed up.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

If I *ever* decide to dig through one of those travesties again I'll resort to what I was doing right before the put in the shelving units... get a cart and as I look through the bin pile everything in the cart. When done, walk away. Yeah, it's not very "nice" but it gets the job done and an associate with nothing better to do can dump 'em all back in the bin. I know they're around as I see 'em wandering the store looking busy all the time.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

I can't blame you for using this strategy. That has worked in the past. I thought the cart had been put there by store workers because there were more discs than room in the bin. It is beyond annoying trying to "dig" through the pile. Then you also compete with other people who inadvertently push the ones you pulled out back into the pile. So you never really get to the bottom.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

I used to think getting to the bottom was somehow important. But I think it's magical thinking. I now believe that the bottom contains the same crap as the rest of the pile and I don't worry about not getting there.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

My approach to the bins is simply to riffle through the top layer, usually finding nothing, and move along. The thing that always has baffled me is why the geniuses at WM often fill it heaping over the brim--so there's basically no open place to put displaced items as one digs. That's a variant on the old CD store trick of filling the bins so tightly that the titles can't be flipped. Seems to me you'd want to make browsing easy, not hard.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 

Picked up the 3 Liondgate horror 4 packs here over the last few weeks.

Slaughter High, My Best Friend Is A Vampire, Repossesed and Silent Night Deadly Night 3.
Dead and Gone, Boy Eats Girl, Return of the Living Dead 3, Return of the Living Dead Necropolis
Pumpkinhead 2, Leprechaun, Wishmaster, Wishmaster 2.


Are there anymore?

Too bad ROTLD 3 is the R version, guess I'll have to hang onto that VHS. Also Wishmaster was a lot better than I remember it being.

Now that I think about it it seems like the whole ROTLD series if fucked on DVD. 1 having re-dubbed voices, 2 with a different soundtrack and 3 not getting it's UR cut.
