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!

Wonder Woman is in an outer box.

nashville nolensville had a lot of stuff but no Thundercats

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.

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

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....

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

I read a few posts where people said they're going to hit the stores tomorrow on Sunday.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Picked up The War at Home S1 today.

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.

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.

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

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.
