Re: Big Lots Part 4
I stopped by one of the local Big Lots today to check out the TV DVD sets, and they were putting out a massive stock of Warner Bros./New Line titles. I picked up the following:
Mother Night
An Affair of Love (Foreign)
The Hidden
Blade 2
Overnight Delivery
Man's Best Friend
Body Shots
National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1
The Matrix Revolutions (I'm ashamed)
Theodore Rex (I'm really ashamed, Whoopi Goldberg and a talking dinosaur)
State and Main
Some of these were great finds, like Mother Night, The Hidden and An Affair of Love, which are quite expensive online. Some other titles I saw but didn't pick up include:
The Matrix
Wedding Crashers
The Grass Harp
Secondhand Lions
Surviving the Game
Dangerous Ground
Turn It Up
Happy Campers
House Party 2 & 3
Talkin' Dirty After Dark
BAPS
Suburban Commando
Surf Ninjas
Monster-In-Law
Aces: Iron Eagle 3
The Day My Parents Ran Away
Blink
The Mask
Safe Passage
Corrina, Corrina
Bullet
The Stupids
Money Talks
Austin Powers in Goldmember
Most Wanted
The Corruptor
Price of Glory
Highway
Highwaymen
Willard
Vera Drake
A Dirty Shame (Neuter Version)
After the Sunset
The Upside of Anger
The Bridge of San Luis Rey
The Sleeping Dictionary
Ripley's Game
The Anniversary Party
The Invisible Circus
Tumbleweeds
Roseanna's Grave
Kansas City
Shine
Amongst Friends
The Player
Unconditional Love
Raise Your Voice
And probably a few others. I also found a copy of "Knocked Up," I hadn't seen that mentioned here either.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
Same here, all the stores I visited today had the "As Advertised" sign up, but really nothing new was added. I guess I was lucky to get everything I really wanted. Now if they would just bring out some new titles from the backroom...

When I picked up that (HoRnR) set, this store (Woodbridge) had probably 15 copies (maybe 2-3 weeks ago).

Re: Big Lots Part 4
Longtime lurker, first-time poster. I've been to three different stores in the last few days. I managed to score the second volumes of Pinky and the Brain and Animaniacs plus the Scooby-Doo Movies and The History of Rock and Roll.
The Charlotte, NC store was really picked over yesterday, there were a few Super Bowl sets left though.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but I got a new email from Big Lots with their "new" weekly ads, this one saying specials beginning Wednesday, July 15 - and it pictures the $6 tv stuff. So a chance they're still withholding some stock for Wednesday? Hope so.

The weekly ad for the store here gets put in the Wednesday paper but they put the stock on the floor the previous Saturday night! The reasoning (I asked) is they are in the same region as a nearby metropolitan area and have been told to put stock out for Sunday (the day the metro ad starts) even though their ad comes out 3 days later. I had wondered why I would get to the store an hour or so after opening on the start of the sale day only to miss out on great deals. I now look for the ad online (using the metro area as a base) and visit the store on Saturday evening/early Sunday for ad items.
This time, they put *some* stock out (5-6 titles) on Wednesday *before* the Sunday sale start and then added 20+ titles on the Saturday before the Sunday sale start. I really wasn't expecting additional titles but went mid-afternoon Saturday only to hit a minor motherload.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
In Kansas City 2 stores finally put out some good stock. There were seasons of ER, Dallas, Dukes Hazzard, 6 Feet Under, History of Rock n Roll, Nip and Tuck, and many others. Two of the other stores I visited had not added any stock.
Thanks, for all the helpful posts.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
I found several copies of Dallas S1/S2. The odd thing was they were in individual keepcases, wrapped with packing tape, then shrinkwrapped by Big Lots.
They had one copy of Season 7 and they were packed with slimline cases in a standard slip.
Is Big Lots tampering with this stuff?
