Well, my location got partial stock in and it was put out Monday instead of the usual Thursday. The only box sets available were Night Court S1, The OC S2, Dukes of Hazzard S5 and The West Wing S2.


Picked up:

Fury
Night Court: Season 1
Everything is Illuminated
Of Unknown Origin
Logan's Run
He Knows Your Alone
A Stranger is Watching
Paradise Now
The Last Voyage
Year of the Dragon (without slashed UPC)

Here's hoping the rest arrives in time for the 20% coupon.

Lexington, KY update...

Eastland has been pretty much picked clean of the box sets. There's a few of Dallas S7 and S9, West Wing S2, The O.C. S2, Pinky V1 and Nip/Tuck S4. Nothing new in movies.

Turfland started getting some box set stock... Pinky V2, Animaniacs V2, Dukes, Nip/Tuck S4, West Wing S2, The O.C. S2, Night Court S1, Joey S1, History of Rock N' Roll... No ER

5 new smaller boxes of mixed titles as well... Picked up two Altman's (Kansas City and A Prairie Home Companion). Pretty much all of the recent WB restock is still there.

Of note, they moved some of the DVD overflow to the opposite side of the electronics section and left a lot of empty shelf space...

I'll check Eastland again Thursday evening and I'll definitely drive to Richmond on Sunday morning since I saw ER S5 mentioned in this thread...

Happy hunting folks!

My local store here in Thomasville, GA had put out their TV on DVD display this afternoon. Pretty limited selection with no Wonder Woman, One Tree Hill, Dallas, or Smallville Bluray. There was a lot of different seasons of the Dukes of Hazzard and a bunch of Scooby Doo 2 packs and The Scooby Doo Collection. I ended up picking up:

The West Wing S2
The OC S2
The History Of Rock 'N' Roll
Nightmares & Dreamscapes

and the find of the day for me was

Babyon 5 - The Movie Collection. http://www.amazon.com/Babylon-Movie-...7016988&sr=1-1

I couldn't believe it was in with the $6 titles and there was only the one copy. And for any disbelievers no I'm not going to take a picture of it floating in a toilet bowl.

I guess I will ask if they have any other titles to put out before the sale on the 12th, otherwise I may end up in Tallahasse early that day to see if they have a better selection. I was really hoping to get the Smallville BD even though I already on it in SD, I also wanted Dead Like Me S3.

Yesterday.

Visited four Pick N Saves, picked up; "Dr. No" SE, "Tremors 2" (with insert), "Thunderball" SE, "Pinky And The Brain" vol 1 & 2 as well as vol 1 of "Animaniacs".

Still no box set for "Wonder Woman". But I did run into the box set for "Thundercats" season 2. And the HBO specials - "Sam Kinison: Unleashed".

Has anybody seen the SEs for "Goldfinger" and or "A View To A Kill".

One other question. Is it only volumes 1 and 2 for either "Animaniacs" or "Pinky And The Brain"? Has anybody seens volume 3?

- - - - -

DeepSleep, I found one store which had seasons 1 - 9 for "Dallas". Wanted to pick that up. But I have more to acquire.

Only 1 & 2 here... On your Bond question, yes... I've seen at least a dozen titles. Goldfinger and A View To A Kill were included in that mix. I previously posted that I had resisted the urge to start grabbing the Bonds... but I had 10 in my hands at one point.

Here's what I got recently in Woodbridge, VA

$6
Nip/Tuck S4 [Blu-Ray]
History of R&R
Night Court S1
Pinky/Brain V1 & V2
Super Bowl XXI-XXX
Nightmares & Dreamscapes

$3
Singles [with tiny bar code slash]
Bowfinger
Mute Witness
Reality Bites [10th Anniversary Edition]
good night, and good luck.

They also had plenty of OC, West Wing, Animaniacs but no ER, Wonder Woman. Manager said shipments come in every Tuesday with stock put out early in the morning Wednesday before the store opens but they don't always get DVD's each week. Sometimes months go by with nothing. They know when the truck arrives if they have new DVD's. He said he wished they got more because even as cheap as the discs are, they are big sellers and make a lot of money for the store.

...and they ended. Let's take a look at the massive profit our little friend made.

$8.27
$10.01
$14.30
$12.50
$10.50
$11.01
$9.38
TOTAL = $75.97
AVERAGE = 10.85 each
off the various Pink and the Brain sets.

Now, each one cost atleast $6.70 if you figure in tax to buy from Big Lots.
Ebay will take at least $1.50 for the listing fee and the ending transaction.
Paypal $.80.
So lets say total cost is $9 to sell one of these sets on average.
Oh, wait, he gave away free shipping .
Now were looking at around $1.75 to ship along with $0.75 for the bubble mailer.
Add on another $2.50 to the total.
Whats that total?
$11.50.
He lost $0.65 by doing this.

Congrats! You were smarter than all of us!

Well, I hit the motherload tonight. I found almost all of the box sets mentioned in this thread, with the exception of 3 items. Off to post in the trading forum...

I'll await the response but that made me chuckle a bit... Gizmo, you forgot the time spent (and gas money) in your calculations.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
This is hilarious. I wanna hear from the poster who did this and see what he has to say about this.
Talk about karma.

That would be one big turd in the toilet. j/k

LMAO. Can't wait to hear his response.

Well maybe he simply enjoys wasting so much time and effort into losing money. Or he could even have enjoyed hoarding the DVDs so others looking at Big Lots for the sets wouldnt get one. Who knows.

yeah it looks like nobody involved in that situation won except for Big Lots LOL.

Hopefully he charged them on his high-interest credit cards and will lose even more in the end! Thanks for posting this....made me smile!

I almost hate to pile it on further, but true justice is not served unless you bring back his original quote which started it all.

I picked up "For Your Eyes Only" (a movie I don't have) and it has the old 1999 cover, but it contained the 2006 DVD.

So how many of you have been finding the Wonder Woman Complete Collection at your local Big Lots?

Thinking about hitting my local store sometime this week, but that is the only DVD I'd want from the sale.

Saw 3 today in a Modesto Big Lots.

Evansville IN East
Had Pinky and the Brain set 1
Scooby Doo Movies set
for 6, didn't see anything there but those two.

I was saving that for when his newer auctions end.

A new batch of New Line DVD's for $3 showed up in Ohio today. I bought "The Hidden" with Michael Nouri & Kyle MacLachlan (one of my all-time faves) and "About Schmidt" with Jack Nicholson. I also noticed "Blade 2" as well along with a number of other New Line releases I was unfamiliar with.

My store got 3 of them, I bought all 3. I'm keeping one and giving the other two as gifts. This is a $75+ (depending on where you buy) box set for 6 bucks??? WTF? Hands down probably big lots best dvd deal ever.

Are there THREE Superbowl sets spotted, or only Superbowl XI-XX and XXI-XXX? I don't recall anyone mentioning Superbowl I-X...

Yeah thats the only 1 that hasn't been reported yet.
