Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

My area has been flooded with Wonder Woman the Complete Series. We Big Lot fans know that some geographical areas get more of a particular title than other regions. My region (SF Bay Area) does not have any Thunder Cats.

I have purchased a boatload of Wonder Woman the Complete Series (don't worry I left a boatload as well), strictly to trade with fellow DVD Talkers, one for one on the DVD Talk trading forum but have been disappointed in the response. I guess many of us enjoy the hunt, more than the trade.

I pretty much have everything out there with the exception of the Thunder Cats, so if your area is rich in Thunder Cats and poor in everything else, please check out the Big Lots trading forum, lets make a deal, especially if your Sunday (when we are all expecting the big Bonanza) leaves you short your favorite series.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Which store is this? Centerville?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

no, sorry, this was the animated series. If you are in Derry, though, try to find a newbury comics, or call one, there's definitely one in Salem. The Bulrington, MA store had some george reeves' superman sets on their "wicked cheap dvd's" end cap for $9.99 each. They also had lois and clark and some batman animated seasons. I did a double-take because 9.99 seemed pretty cheap.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Oldies.com still has the George Reeves Superman seasons for $11.98.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Regarding SUPERFRIENDS.... I've seen SEASON 1 mentioned as being a BL find and also "VOLUME 2." Is that the second season or were they broken up in different DVD set incarnations over the years?

I have some individual I SPY volumes I would trade for SUPERFRIENDS. Haven't been able to unload those I SPY's anywhere, LOL.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I started thinking that when I noticed my stores retaining the same cardboard display units but always having new titles mixed in with the old.

I've been going to Big Lots WAAAAY too much lately. :)

But this allowed me to post some extras on the trade list for those interested...

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Thanks. $9.99 is a great price, but I'll hold off.

I was just thinking maybe, possibly, hopefully...we'll see more Warner Brothers TV sets in the future months after this current wave drys up.

I bought all the Dallas seasons and inside there is a pamphlet, brochure of other WB titles like Superman, The Waltons, F-Troop, Gilligan's Island, and CHiPS.

Makes me wonder if we'll see those in future Big Lots bins, too?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

The big lots I've been to (SoCal) have run out of everything except Joey the complete series and maybe the Scooby Movies vol. 1 almost immediately. Seems like people have been picking those shelves clean (probably for trading or selling at Second Spin). When I asked about more coming in, they said once they're gone that'll pretty much be it.

I'm lookin for Nip/Tuck season 4 Bluray if anyone has a spare and the complete Wonder Woman (which I had not even seen on the shelves). I've got Smallville sason 7 BR, Puinky and the brain, Animaniacs for trade.Thanks

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

The JL "Double Feature" 2-pack I bought the other day doesn't have "Justice on Trial", just the other two discs. Good thing I saved the receipt, in case I run across the 3-pack! Thanks!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Cleaned up at my Big Lots today in NJ, here's what I got:

- Wonder Woman The Complete Series - $6
- Pinky and The Brain Volume 2 - $6
- Carpool - $3
- Nothing But Trouble -$3

I'm still on the lookout for Animaniacs Volumes 2 & 3 as well as Pinky and The Brain Volume 3... The hunt continues.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Also found one love copy of Sex And The City Season 6: part One

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Ha ha ... I love how we're all waiting for tomorrow in the hopes of finding that elusive box set (Wonder Woman complete, Thundercats, etc.)! We are definitely all in this together!:clap:

Here's what I bought today at two separate Big Lots:

Scooby Doo/Dynomutt Hour: The Complete Series
Sam Kinison Unleashed

Both were the only copies I saw ... I also picked up some Brut aftershave for under $3 ... lol:)

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Animaniacs Volume 2 $6
Friends Season 3 $6
Roots: 30th Anniversary Edition $6
Good Night and Good Luck $3
Pleasantville $3
Waiting for Guffman $3
Ninotchka $3
The Philadelphia Story: 2-Disc Special Edition $3
The Wild Bunch: The Original Director's Cut (2-Disc Special Edition) $3

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

The stores I went to today already had the Sunday ad at the front and they had "As Advertised" signage next to the box sets. One store that previously didnt have much created a whole endcap full of these sets.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I just got back from there and scored a Smallville 7 blu, they had one more...looks like they put out more stuff too...nothing real major

The location by the Tri County Mall hardly had any sets.

The Hamilton Location had a lot, but nothing major at this point.

I am still looking for Animaniacs 1 and complete Wonder Woman.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

They're out in Sacramento- I typed up what I found but then one of my cats ran across the keyboard and messed the post up, so I'll just say most stores have West Wing Season 2 and Season 1 of Knots Landing. Only Blu I saw was Smallville Season 7 at the Northgate store, they had 1 left after I bought one. Got the last Roots there, they still have several of Next Generation and also the LA Lakers set if anyone cares about that, and History of Rock & Roll which is also plentiful on Fair Oaks Blvd and La Riviera/Watt. Most stores have tons of Dukes of Hazzard Seasons 5 and 6, I got the only copy of #2. Stockton Blvd had about 3 copies of 3 seasons of Samurai Jack shrinkwrapped together for 6 bucks, but I passed on those since I got the Samurai Jack movie at 99 Cents Only stores and it doesn't look like something I'll want to have every episode of, so I left them for someone who'll appreciate them more. You're welcome :)

As far as Wonder Woman goes, which I wanted, I just found Season 3 by itself, so I bought one but will keep it sealed in case I find the complete set later on. Did Big Lots get the complete set with the big outer box, or is it just the 3 sets shrinkwrapped together?

I'll be retired before I've watched all of these, and I gotta go back and get some more shelves after I have some more money!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Wonder Woman is in an outer box.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

nashville nolensville had a lot of stuff but no Thundercats

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Well, they finally started to get these in at the two nearest Big lots to me. The closer location (Portland, ME), had more variety, but not the sets I was looking for. They had...
Wonder Woman - S2, 3 - but no 1 or Complete series (which I wanted)
The O.C. - S2
Nip Tuck S4 - Blu Ray
Dallas S1,3, 5
LA Lakers set
NFL sets (random, sets)
Pinky & The Brain Vol.2
Animaniacs Vol.2, 3
Smallville S4
Smallville S7 -Blu-ray
Dukes Of Hazard - various seasons
Friends S3,5, 7
Six Feet Under - S3
Night Court S1
Nightmares and Dreamscapes (tons of this)
Roots - 30th
Roots - Next Generation
West Wing - S2 (tons of this)
Joey -S1
Knots Landing S1
Scooby-Doo (bunch of different stuff)
Super Friends V2

The next closest one (Windham, ME), had far less selection, but they did have many copies of The History Of Rock & Roll, which was the one other set I really wanted. Other than that, they had...

Animaniacs Vol.2, 3
Pinky & The Brain Vol.2
Super Friends - V1, V2
Super Friends - Legendary Super Powers
NFL sets (random, sets)
The O.C. - S2
Joey - S1
Roots - Next Generation

Also noticed that I started seeing some of these exact same titles - mainly the TV series sets (Friends, The O.C., ER and other WB titles) - popping up recently in Newburry Comics stores (on sale for $7.99 to $9.99) and in FYE ($14.99), too. They must all be getting them from the same source.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Can anyone else confirm the Dallas Cowboy set, Smallville Season 6 Blu and Super Bowl I-X besides the 1 person that grab these?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I can't speak for the two football titles, but more than one person has found (and grabbed) Smallville S6 on BD, including me...it does seem to be much more rare than S7, but ALL Big Lots deals are EXTREMELY hit and miss...I went to seven different stores the other day and each one was VERY different in terms of what box sets they carried....some didn't have jack, while others were loaded with good stuff....

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Which Big Lots in NJ? Are there more Wonder Woman sets?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Just tried my luck today at Sterling, VA Location around noon, before I read this post.

Still no TV DVD boxsets at all. A cashier told me that they would be ready tomorrow, without mentioned which titles available.

Anyway saw some limited quantities of Scooby Doo 2 pack, Superfriends 2 pack, and Wait Until Your Father Home Gets Home Season 1.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Not totally sure, but there are at least three different series of Super Friends dvds I've seen at BL so far. A couple are divided up into series and the other appears to be volumes.
Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show (The Complete Series)
Super Friends (Volume 2) - I have not found Volume 1, From the wording on the back, I assume these are collections, not full seasons...?
Challenge Of The Super Friends: The First Season

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Different stuff on Season 1 and Volume 2... There actually are quite a few different Superfriends titles not a a typical Season 1, 2, 3 numbering, all with different content.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I won't be able to get there tomorrow due to work, but if one of you locals finds any Animaniacs, Wonder Woman, or SB sets there, I'd buy/trade one of each from you. I'm particularly anxious to revisit Wonder Woman, a favorite of my youth.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

North Raleigh, NC store on bus. 64 - motherlode of ER, Dallas, Nip/Tuck, Night Court, Animaniacs, Pinky & Brain and Roots Next Generations.

Raleigh, NC near NC State - no ER's, but did have most of the other titles.

Cary, NC - no ER's, not many of the other titles, but did find 5-Disc "History of Rock n Roll" - has that been spotted anywhere else? Also had Right Stuff and Wild Bunch 2-discers.

Any sightings of Roots 30th anywhere else in North Carolina?

Peter

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Which Animaniacs do you need? They have plenty over at the Woodbridge, VA store.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

The Big Lots in Gastonia, NC had 4 or 5 copies of Roots 30th as of about 7:30 tonight.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I was under the impression that the sale starts on Sunday, but I got the Big Lots ad flyer, and I double-checked at the bottom it says merchandise available Saturday July 11 through Saturday July 18, 2009--not Sunday.

I also read a few posts where people said they're going on Sunday.

So I went to three stores thinking to find new stock today as advertised, but none of the stores had anything new put out.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Wyoming Michigan had History of Rock & Roll today, I also found Right Stuff 2 disc and bought both.

So I went to three stores today thinking I would find new stock as advertised, but none of the stores still didn't have anything new put out, so I guess it doesn't matter what day the sale starts.:(

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I asked a couple Big Lots employees about the advertised sale and none of them knew what I was talking about. They didn't even know that they already had some $6 TV season sets on the shelf already. :scratch2:

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Titles were out by 3:30pm here. I scored:

Drew Carey - S1
Friends - S3, S5, S9
Blade The Series (last/only copy)
Dallas - S1/2, S3 (they had other seasons but these were all I was interested in)
Babylon 5 The Movie Collection (!!! The one I wanted most and didn't expect to find !!!)

They had almost everything except Roots, other seasons of Friends, and *no* Wonder Woman at all. The checker who was watching out for that one for me as well as the other checker on duty confirmed they had not seen any Wonder Woman seasons.

It's possible they had other seasons of Friends earlier in the day as these had been out since the store opened this morning.

There were 2 different versions of "Dallas S1/2". One was 5 keepcases shrinkwrapped together and the other is the digipak version.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I have seen multiple sets of History of Rock and Roll in the Big lots in Greenville and the one in New Bern Avenue in Raleigh.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Picked up The War at Home S1 today.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Hey man, the one in Springfield, NJ. Unfortunately, there aren't anymore, me and my buddy scooped up the only two they had. Sorry man, although I'd say it's worth a shot to ask someone there if they have anymore in the back.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

And now for my rant on multi-disc set packaging and such: First of all, those overlapping-disc packs are just plain retarded. If I'm going to play the disc that's under, what am I supposed to do with the disc on top in the meantime??? If I put it back in the case, I'll just have to take it out again when I put the other disc back.

I've always preferred 2-sided discs to multiple single-sided ones, though I know some don't like them. If nothing else, this reduces the need to have a stupid case design, but NOW it seems like the manufacturers have gotten lazy and stopped putting ANY sort of printing on the second side of 2-sided discs! The biggest complaint about 2-siders has always been that there isn't enough printed info on them, and now they want to cut what little there is in HALF by only printing on one side??? The "Roots" discs are like this- Disc 2 says "ROOTS Disc 2 Reverse side episode 4"- so which episode is on the side that's facing up? The 4th disc of "Next Generations" has material only on one side, but still just has printing in the center, so you can't really tell if there's anything on the second side of that or not. I assume there isn't since I just put it in my computer's drive and it kept spinning without finding anything. Universal's Spike Lee set was like that too.

Since HD-DVD died I've been collecting the combo-format discs and have all of them now except for about 3- NONE of those have any printing on the 2nd side (with the standard DVD content) either! Is it REALLY that much trouble now to print on both sides of the disc?

Got that off my chest, now back to the topic. And I'm sure I'll buy any other titles that show up if I want them and they're cheap enough, even if it's 10 single-sided discs (with minimal printing on them) on a stack or something stupid like that.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Laurinburg, NC store had a few Dukes of Hazard box sets and a few of the OC. Nothing spectacular. I did ask if they had anymore in the back and they confirmed that they did. One of the ladies working there snagged me most of the Dallas seasons. Going to pick up Friends tomorrow hopefully


Has anyone seen Ride the High Country in any of the SC or NC stores?

Hoping to pick it up

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I saw a Dallas Cowboy 2 pack (side to side) didn't really pay attention to what the actual titles were.

All stores in the SF Valley are gutted.
