Re: Big Lots Part 4
No new sets put out today but 5 flats of the $3 titles that have shown up before. I did manage to finally get:
Outland
Pennies From Heaven
Hero at Large
None of which were slashed but some of the assortment were slashed with white stickers over the slash.
One that caught my eye that I had to leave was a John Wayne collection title I hadn't seen mentioned. Tall in the Saddle is what I think it was called.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
^^Interesting. I picked up "Tall in the Saddle" yesterday and the UPC wasn't slashed. It was the only copy I saw. I've also seen several slashed titles with the white stickers over the slash/UPC.
Went back today and found an unslashed copy of "There was a Crooked Man" which I snagged. I'll return the slashed copy.
Also found:
The Gay Divorcee
Roberta
Flying Down to Rio
all slimpaks and "The Gay Divorcee" wasn't in shrink wrap (found 4 copies and none were).
As someone else has mentioned I think these originally might have been in the "Astaire & Rogers Collection, Vol. 2" and have been unpackaged for clearance. I've not seen "The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle" or "Carefree" and "Follow the Fleet" is not part of that set.
And they had added Nightcourt - S1 to the box sets. The ladies reorganizing the wire rack (had a diagram to tell them where to put everything) told me there were no other TV sets in the back.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
I had picked up Nightmares & Dreamscapes for $6 the other day as it was included with the TV on DVD display. Today I spotted a copy in with the regular $3 DVDs and it was priced at $3 so I'll be taking the $6 one back. Just a heads up if you're wanting this title, you could find one marked $3. I called my next nearest store in Tallahassee, Fl and was told the TV on DVD display is not out yet. Their sale date starts on Wednesday and not Sunday or so I was told. My local store here in Thomasville, GA had added a few more today that included all but S6 and S7 of Dallas, a single copy of Wonder Woman S3, Blade the series and not much else. I did manage to pick up Animaniacs vol 2.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
I don't understand how so many people are running across multiple copies of sets(in this case Wonder Woman the complete series) that MANY have asked for help in finding on this thread and people just pick one up for themselves leave the others behind? No one has to save the world but where's the dvd love?
LOL... just now saw this. Yes, please somebody, anybody get me a Wonder Woman complete set if you see an extra one. I will trade you something you want or just pay you outright thru paypal. Thanks in advance!!

This is funny. I used to work at a Camelot in Houston while I was attending college in the mid 90s. My manager would literally shuffle through the shipments to see what cutout laserdiscs were coming in and buy what he didn't already own. He had one hell of a collection back in the day.

Hit my biglots just now after work and they were just starting to put out the box sets! I grabbed a History of Rock, Animaniacs V1 & Pinky & the Brain V2. They had lots of these titles but not much else - I saw Joey S1 and one each of a couple Dukes of Hazzard sets. No blu-rays or 2-disc SEs that I've been looking for. They did have a couple of SouthPark Bundles - not season sets but 3 dvds shrink-wrapped together for $6. I already have almost all the seasons so I passed on those. I never watched animaniacs or Pinky & the brain so I hope those are good. I might go back before closing to see if they put anything else out.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
I know where EVERY Wonder Woman Complete set went in Pasadena (I didn't buy them). There were originally three. You can thank the CH king for the one you got.
Most Big Lots said they hadn't seen any of these sets yet. One said they put the stuff out this Monday and early Tuesday some guy bought cleaned them out (obviously to resell). One mentioned that they were supposed to be in an upcoming ad which if true means that other stores were putting them out early and weren't supposed to? Well, hopefully I'll have a few more shots at this.
These people are going to be disappointed b/c they could make more money at McDonalds. they will be luck to make two bucks a set after fees, etc.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
My usual Big Lots stores had a fresh batch of dvd box sets out today. Picked up the following:
Pinky and The Brain Vol. 1&2
The History Of Rock & Roll
Scooby Doo, Where Are You? S3
Wonder Woman S3 (last copy)
Wait Til Your Father Gets Home
Saw plenty of the other boxes (Dallas, Friends, Joey, Dukes Of Hazzard, Super Friends, Scooby Doo Movies, ER, etc.) But no sign of Wonder Woman Complete Series.
Hope to spot Animaniacs V.3 and the elusive Wonder Woman box someday.

May be lucky to find one of those - my local BL only had 3 copies on the shelf & I believe I was the 1st one in the store that day to get one(it was a freshly stock item). I can't see any other BL getting much more - nothing like number for the Roots, Dukes of Hazzard, etc series.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
Hey.
I was at the Richmond store today (7/9), so thought you might want to know they finally started putting out the box sets (when I checked last week, they told me they were in the back awaiting the 7/12 ad).
Anyway, there were no ER sets, so I guess you don't have to be in a huge hurry to check Richmond out.

That said... I went down this evening to grab any extras that I could after I read your post. Planned on snagging any Blu and Wonder Woman Complete for the peeps here. Of course, they were gone by the time that I got there. Almost missed the display since it was separated from the normal DVD section. Needed to make a return anyhoo (LOTR: TT - long story) but I just exchanged it for Roots 30th instead. So, all was not a loss...
I'm getting the feeling that the ER sets are one of the harder to find items. Fingers crossed that there may be some more on Sunday, but I'm not really expecting to find any...

v
Eastland in Lexington, KY update... Roots 30th in stock. That's about it... Other than one of the cashiers saying how are you doing today, as in... you're in here again huh?

If they would let me, I would camp out by the DVD rack... Ridiculous.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
I got there about 11:30am. Wonder how much time passed between our visits?
Yeah, no kidding! I had to ask an employee where they were (as you say, nowhere near the 'normal' place they keep them).
Saw this one in Richmond, too (thanks for jogging the memory).

Re: Big Lots Part 4
Thanx so much dino. Ive ben waiting for that. Its not the best for BB pricematching (i know theres a slight chance that will work to begin with). But i might try pricematching Animaniacs or P&B.

Gas money is starting to suck a bit but I'm very much considering a two Lexington store, Georgetown, Frankfort trip the next time... Hope I don't drive on to Louisville. All I need is an excuse... Ugh. For the time being I'm pretending that Florence, Newport and Cincinnati don't exist.

I picked up Scooby Doo Movies and NBA Dynasty:Lakers (they had about 15 copy of Roots The Next Gen!
Does anyone have a extra Roots 30TH to trade for or sell me for cost!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
Thanks for clarifying that. Yep - it's the Blu version I'm going crazy trying to score (hit another 3 stores today in NJ - no dice).
I actually have a spare of that (if You have a Smallville S6 Blu for trade...)...
That Aquaman disc was a Best Buy exclusive, so I seriously doubt it'll show up in any of the BL Smallville's.
