Thanks for the tip.

Between this thread, the BL exchange thread, and actually being at a Big Lots, it seems that 23-1/2 hrs of my day are taken up!

My wife picked a great weekend for us to visit her parents that live two states over. I stopped at 6 BLs along the way and found almost everything I wanted, especially the Hanna Barbara stuff. Each store seemed to have that one title that the others didn't. Outside of my hometown area (Cleveland) I didn't see any of the $10 sets on the road and I really, really wanted to find that Looney box (like everyone else here) but I can't complain as I found just about everything else listed. Vacation is just around the corner so I'm looking forward to some serious DVD watching.

Same here. I'm gonna need more DVD racks!

Its a spin-off of "friends"

Anyone finding much in Orange County/LA County border area? Placentia BL @ Yorba Linda/Rose had a restock. Had a pretty vast selection of the $6 sets, but nothing I really wanted. It's one of the few stores that has had anything though. I've been going a few times a week to other BLs in the surrounding area but there's never anything, so I'm not sure if I'm just missing out because people are getting there before me or if the shipments they get are pretty bare. Every store seems to have those Dukes/Joey sets, but not much else.

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like I'm hitting Edgewood tomorrow. Having all the Flintstones would be awesome.

Has anyone spotted Looney Tunes in MD?

Is anybody finding any of the Hanna Barbera sets anywhere in North Carolina? I'm in the Charlotte area and it seems like I'm finding none of the good stuff!

PM sent

I don't understand why all the people picking up Friends aren't picking up Joey as well. Friends sets don't last a day.

My sets were individually shrinkwrapped, so this was no issue for me....

Not in the Eldersburg or Westminster stores.

If you see any seasons of Tales From The Crypt or the $10 Kubrick boxset I'd be glad to work out a trade with you for them

Well it looks like you made a good decision to get em on Saturday.
I was gonna go on Saturday too but I went to Friends of Coal Car Show instead.I guess I can take solace in getting Pat Whites autograph and shaking his hand and seeing all those cool cars.

Back to the dvds ..I'm surprised at how fast they went.
I went back this evening to grab Wacky Races and a few others for a friend. In the 4 or so hrs after leaving it was even more barren.
Im gonna have to check every other day now for a restock.
Happy Hunting all!

Hello Everyone

Just wanted to say thank you to all who have posted about these deals two weeks ago and listing what they have found since then but........

why hasn't the second batch of warner bros that everyone seems to keep finding hit California yet!!! well at least in my area I Have been to three big lots numerous times during the past week and have not found anything new besides joey and the oc. im really looking for lois and clark superman and tales from crypt. I hope this upcoming week changes if not this will be the last lol i did pick up some canned dog food with 20% coupon

I'm in California and have found both Crypt and Lois & Clark. Gotta go to the right stores at the right time. There's a lot of people buying these to resell them for a higher price so you gotta make sure you're quick.

Yea i think im going to late. To save on gas and on wasted trips i do it after work since its on the way home. i scored big with the first batch by being able to find thundercats six box set justice league collection etc i guess ill wait till the 26 which is when the ad comes out or go during the week when i have a day off man this is getting ridiculous

I think some of the Big Lots stores here in San Diego might very well be waiting until a few day before the new sale kicks to put out all the new goodies. The Big Lots I've been to these past new days have not put anything new out. Yet, I've heard about stores in Poway and Mira Mesa putting out the new stuff already. It's definiitely frustrating getting your hopes up, only to find nothing in the end. But I think we'll hit paydirt this coming week!

Are you in San Diego, sdfan21?

Banderas,

Nah i don't live in San Diego, but am a long time charger fan since the bobby ross days!! lol im located in central California. But you are right about certain stores waiting to release a couple of days before. well i hope!!

Central California? Where abouts?

I hit up my same 3 stores every day and there hasn't been anything new at all since the first batch on the 9th. One of the stores even got ride of the 4 sided stand they had set up in the middle and another only has a few Dukes left over on their almost bare displey. I hope they do have them and are waiting til that ad, better late then never. I found almost the entire series of Friends at one of those stores. I'll keep going till the well is reported dry though!

A Bolts fan ... nice!!! Good luck on your treasure hunt! Let me know if I can help out.

I haven't seen any Tales From The Crypt since the beginning. I live close to the Turfland store, so I've been checking it regularly and will probably keep doing so for a while longer.

Thanks for returning that Smallville S7 Blu-ray. I picked it up Thursday night and traded on here for a set that I needed.

I finally opened this thread last night to see what all the deals were, my BL isn't in the best part of town so was trying to avoid it, but finally went today. The Salinas, CA location just had the OC sets, a few West Wings, Dukes of Hazard, a Full House, and a Drew Carrey. I kind of want to check out the Watsonville location but I never go that way, maybe tomorrow though. Has anyone been to the San Jose area ones and found anything?

Checked out a few Big Lots over the past couple of days days and only found The War at Home for $3. I get off work early today, and I'm off tomorrow, so I will definitely be scouring the local Big Lots looking for:

The Stanley Kubrick Collection
The Powerpuff Girls: Complete Series
Space Ghost and Dino Boy: Complete Series
Birdman and the Galaxy Trio: Complete Series
Jonny Quest: Complete First Season

I'm not hopeful though. =(

Also, does anyone know when they get trucks? Does it vary from store-to-store?

Hi all, I don't post that much here, but I just felt the need to help out my fellow BL DVDTalkers. I'm in the Orlando/Central Florida area, and did a check yesterday or these stores, all of which seem pretty cleaned out from the sale.

Longwood/SR17-92: not much at all, still some OC, a few Drew Carey S1, Dallas S7 (in amaray cases, like they were meant for Blockbuster rentals)

Sanford/SR17-92: a little more, a couple of Superfriends V2, Tracey Takes On S1, Flintstones S2&3.

Edgewater Dr: very nice store, very clean! But, picked over. A few Superfriends V2, Penelope Pitstop.

Casselberry/SR436: Flintstones S3 (all unwrapped, but in good shape).

Colonial/Waterford Lakes: Worst of all, didn't see ANY boxsets, very few DVDs, and no real sign that they've ever had them.


Over the last week or so, I have found some of the titles, but have never seen any Smallville sets, WW, Looney Tunes/$10 sets, Wacky Races, Batman Animated, etc. I don't know if it's just unlucky, or they're all being bought up by traders/sellers.

I'll be checking out a few again on the way home from work today, so I'll post when I have updates.
