Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
A local WalMart around here has S1,S3,S4,S5,S6 for 14.99. I'm not sure why S2 isn't for sale, but I picked up the others. S7-S10 are 18.99 but I havn't gotten them yet. I want to complete my collection. I wish they'd put Stargate Atlantis on sale as well.

I hadn't looked at the $5 bin in a good while (hadn't even been in a WM in some time). Today, I found multiple copies of The Bronx is Burning 3-disc set. I just checked and you can't find this cheaper than $20+ online. In fact, my receipt even indicated was $27.96 under the sale price. I don't think anyone else mentioned this before--apologies if so.
I also noticed a single copy of a Die-Hard/Man on Fire double feature. I wasn't interested in it, but I did wonder if it might have been placed in the $5 bin by mistake. I know some double feature DVDs have been seen there, but usually for titles a little less popular. But it might be worth a look if you don't have those two movies.

^ Chop2Chip10, I was at a different Wal-mart tonight and checked the bin but couldn't find any copies there.
Also, I previously mentioned the Die Hard/Man on Fire double feature. I saw it at this Wal-mart as part of the $9 double feature display....I'm sure it was just in the wrong place before.

Went to Walmart tonight (damn pets and their need for food) and came across a "Double Take" in the $5 section with the original and the remake of The Amityville Horror. I figured $2.50 a movie wasn't bad and picked it up. Also grabbed Fargo.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
I swear that nobody is buying dvds from the $5 bin anymore.
For the past few months the bin has been overflowing. You can't even dig through it without a DVD falling out and landing on the floor.
Plus it seems to be the same titles as well. Nothing new.
I can remember years ago when the bin would be half full and very busy. And new titles appearing on a regular basis.
But no more at mine.
Perhaps the $5 price isn't much of a deal anymore.
Perhaps people are just sick and tired of digging through tons of bad titles in search of a few good ones.
I know for me it's simply not worth my time anymore to dig through it. I just glance at the top level and see if anything is new. Then I move on.
On a related note.
I have seen the Friends seasons on display for around $15 each with a slipcover referring to the 15th anniversary or something.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
I actually miss the bargain bin @ Walmart. All the stores nearby have done away with it, now they just have a end cap full of $5 junk. At least with the bin, you'll never know what you might find. I remember being on a hunt for a few movies and just happen to stumble on them in the bin one day, while only being one copy in there to begin with.
I may be alone on this but I kinda liked the scavenger hunt fun it was to dig in those bins.

My nearest Wal-Mart ditched their bin for four 6' bookcases.
Unfortunately, their selection has been crap for the past year or so. It seems like 50% of it Spanish-language crap, 25% is PD crap, and the other 25% is the same weak selection of midlist Hollywood crap they've had forever. (Some good stuff in there like Jaws and Animal House, but I've already bought those for about the same price years ago.)

They have their own shelf of spanish speaking at mine hidden in a corner.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
"van wilder 2" sucked, while the 1st one was hilarious. I have become very very leary of anything with the "national lampoon" name on it, once in awhile, they will put out a good comedy, but, they have whored out the lampoon name so badly, putting it on just about any piece of crap they can get thier hands on. one fairly recent lampoon film I thought was very funny though was "repli-kate"

I was at walmart yesterday and noticed that the two Police Academy sets were on the shelf. They are part of those four film favorites collections. According to Bestbuy, amazon and walmart.com the release date is Sept 29th at a price around 17.00. Both were 10.00 according to the tags on the shelf.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
Of the three WMs I tend to get to, 2 have axed the bins and one of those replaced it with $5 shelves. I guess I'm kinda tired of digging through the bins and never finding anything new that I want. At least with the shelves I can scan the titles in a couple of minutes--not that I'm finding that much more.

I also saw a small display on the side of 4-sided wire rack that were $4 titles. These were the usual ones we've seen pop up--The Interpreter is the only title right now that I can remember.

Picked up the 2-disc Clerks II from the $5 shelf. I also grabbed the combo pack with the first two volumes of American Dad for $19.96 while there. I don't love it, but I like it sometimes and the price was right.
