$6/ea.
Joey - S1
The Scooby-Doo Collection

*still* no Bonds... not a big deal as I only need 3 to complete the series and they are very much the "lesser" titles...

If they don't stop with the new stuff I'll not have anything left for the upcoming DD sale! That could be good *or* bad...

Forgot to mention that the store I visited had most of the previously mentioned sets (Dallas, ER, etc) and some new ones I had not seen

LA Lakers Box Set
NFL (not 1960-1970 and not Denver Broncos)
Jamie Foxx S1

I believe that willy wonka was released in both widescreen and full screen

Store nearest me (Red Bluff) started getting some of the other seasons in during the last 3 days - however, only 1-3 copies on most seasons of ER, Friends, Dallas, Wonder Woman Complete, WW S2, S3 and a few others. Others - Roots, Knots Landing, Super Friends v2, Animaniacs v2, etc - had 6-10+ copies of each title. The 1-3 titles went pretty fast(only a few odd seasons left of each series).

Went back again...they just finished unloading the trailer so nothing will be put out until tomorrow or later. I did grab that New Scooby Doo Movies (the hour-long toons with the guest stars from the early 70's). $6 is a steal as Amazon wants $53 for it.

Oh, I checked those Superbowl sets again for those of you looking for the first set in the series and they didn't have that one. I'll keep a lookout for it (and all the other most wanted titles) and hookup/trade at cost.

After calling all the Big Lots in my area a few times in the last few weeks with no luck, I finally found one that just put out these sets this morning, so 6 hours later I was surprised to find the majority of what I wanted. I didn't know anything about a lot of these series, so I tried to grab 1 of most things except for a few such as Smallville S7 Blu-Ray and Wonder Woman Complete. There were 3 copies of each which I grabbed, but somehow the 3rd Wonder Woman Complete must've fallen out of my cart (fortunately I wasn't charged for it). I guess someone will be happy to find that.

I've never seen any of these series except for some Dukes of Hazzard, Flintstones, Friends, Roots, Scooby Doo, Smallville, and Wonder Woman. I'll have to read reviews to see if I want to keep, return, or trade the others.

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.

I guess there will be a bunch of trading going on in the trading forums as people try to piece together complete series from various Big Lots. The only other options are eBay (which I hate) or trading into FYE or Blockbuster. I don't suppose anyone has checked which are the most valuable sets for trade-ins?

NCC1701E

Are the Scooby sets that are being sold all from the old series?

kenbenobi

Old and new.


Old:

Scooby Doo Collection 3-pack (Great Mystery, Winter Wonder Dog, Meets the Boo Brothers)

New:
Side by side two-packs of Scooby Doo movies

NCC1701E

Cool, thanks for the info!

Jedi Master 33

Correction: Scooby Doo Collection 3-pack contains the old episodes too.

Greatest Mysteries: contains episodes from Scooby Doo: Where Are You!
Winter Wonder Dog: contains episodes from The New Scooby Doo Mysteries, Scooby Doo: Where Are You!, and Scooby and Scrappy Doo.
Meets the Boo Brothers aired on tv in the 80's.

ron lee green

Today, I also saw a 2-pack of "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" for $6.00.
I believe they were single discs with 4 episodes each.

2sday

Well you absolutely must keep and watch Animaniacs. As for the rest, whatever.

NCC1701E

I've never seen Animaniacs....until tonight! I watched a few episodes on Youtube and I've been laughing my ass off! Gonna have to hit BL first thing in the morning and grab V1 & V2!

EDIT: Especially loved the parodies of Barney, Power Rangers, and Star Trek! LOL

2sday

Thats nice to hear man. They truly are hilarious. Its got a great mix of classic cartoon slapstick, but with parodies and satire as well. Just very intelligently written humor.

kenbenobi

Thanks for the correction. I did not know this. The artwork on the box is new animation, so I just assumed... Now I want to get this! I saw plenty of them yesterday. Hopefully they are still there...

NCC1701E

Do you recommend Pinky & The Brain as well? I watched a couple clips and thought they were good, but not as good as Animaniacs.

Jedi Master 33

Yes, I picked this up myself. It's Volumes 3 and 4.

I also got:
Justice League Collection{Secret Orgins, Paridise Lost, Justice On Trail}
Superfriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show: The Complete Series



And they also have Scooby Doo S1/S2 now too? Awasome!

Mickactual

Waitaminute... Waitaminute... Waitaminute... Waitaminute... You mean the Smallville S6 Blu I've been looking for in vain at BL is actually a HD-DVD version??
Waitaminute... Waitaminute... Waitaminute... Waitaminute... Has anybody else seen this? I have them all from when BL was selling them some months ago for $4 apiece. If the new batch (now $3 each, no less) have the new discs inside, I'm gonna demand an exchange!

SpinalGuffman

I think Pinky is just as good. If I recall correctly, there were episodes of PATB mixed in during Animaniacs.

Both so good.

Have people been finding either of the Thundercats Season 2 sets? If so, I'll be on a Big Lots hunting spree every day trying to find them and Animaniacs V.3.

UAIOE

The only other Bond movies I saw were "Die Another Day", "Tomorrow Never Dies" and "Otcopussy".

I own the first two already , and I don't think I could ever bring myself to own "Octopussy".

I don't know if they are all 2006 discs or I just hit major gold.

Found just about everything at a local store sans a few items (Greenville, SC) except what I wanted - Anamaniacs! Grrr. Gonna try another store today.

I would pick up the West Wing set, but I can't justify owning one season and then having to pay much more for the rest for that type of show.

I did pick up a copy of Eating Raoul, though. Seems like it would be a riot.

lewisb73

Did they have any of the smallville blurays there in Greenville or the wonder woman set? I'm gonna be passing through SC tomorrow and would stop by if it were worth it to me

Brent L

I did a round of the Greenville stores last weekend and none of them had any of the BDs.
