Re: Big Lots Part 5
Here's my Big Lots parking lot story:
I was going to Big Lots last week for the 5th or 6th day in a row trying to find some of these deals (success!). As I'm going down the row looking for a parking spot, I spot a kid about 6 or 7 years old standing by his mom's car taking a leak in the parking lot. At first, I thought his mom had left the kid in the car while she shopped, hence the kid getting out and peeing instead of going into the store, but by the time I found a spot and parked, he had finished, gotten into the back seat and mom had pulled away leaving a puddle of pee in the parking lot for some poor soul to step in later. I looked around expecting Chris Hansen to show up. ;) |

I will say, however, that you DO have something I covet dearly... Cadbury Wunderbars. I d*mn near started an international incident between the U.S., Cadbury England and Cadbury Canada trying to get them to bring the bars to the States, but nothing doing. Jerks! :p |

Re: Big Lots Part 5
My brother was a manager at a Walmart in a shit part of town and would tell me horror stories that made him say "fuck my life" many a time. For example...people wouldn't leave dirty diapers on the floor, they would just take a shit right on it. He found a couple of surprises like that waiting in aisles for him. The one story that really got me, though, was the guy with his pants around his ankles and a jar of vaseline in hand that he had to chase out of the parking lot. As I'm going down the row looking for a parking spot, I spot a kid about 6 or 7 years old standing by his mom's car taking a leak in the parking lot. At first, I thought his mom had left the kid in the car while she shopped, hence the kid getting out and peeing instead of going into the store, but by the time I found a spot and parked, he had finished, gotten into the back seat and mom had pulled away leaving a puddle of pee in the parking lot for some poor soul to step in later. I have one more, this happened a few years back - Wal-Mart in Colton, CA. I can't recall why I was there. I'm gonna guess $5.50 DVD bin. I park and get out. I see something on the floor. I couldn't make out the shape, it had a dark hue. Whatever it was it was crushed/squished by a previous car. Then I saw the string. I can't even imagine the mentality at work here. She couldn't wait until she got home? Or used the store's bathroom? Did she think it was funny? If this and ZekeBurger1979's comments are not the very definition of white trash. Then I don't know what it is. - - - I forgot to mention, should anybody care. The Colton store has three remaining copies of "Mission Hill"; never got into that show. I was there a couple hours ago. Picked up "The War At Home" for a friend. |

You know, I'd happily send you a box--even two!--in exchange for a Looney Tunes set from Big Lots, shipped to my U.S. postbox. Just don't tell Phibes, 'kay? I have to keep up appearances . . . ;) |
Re: Big Lots Part 5
Here in Sunny Florida I went to 6 BL in the last 2 days no 10 sets and no HB sets :-(
Did find pinky and brain and animaniacs sets thou at 6 bucks each. |
Re: Big Lots Part 5
I went back to the BL I went to twice yesterday to pick up some sets - which they had plenty of yesterday afternoon - and the place was in disarray. Someone hit the shelves hard last night since I had to look behind things and find one hidden copy each of Tales From the Crypt 1, 2, 4, and 5. Someone's gonna be pissed when they get out of work tonight. :D
Other than that the place is dry now.. I'm guessing hoarders. |

Re: Big Lots Part 5
I was just reading the Big Lots exchange thread and was amused at all the people wanting the Looney Toons Collection, as if it were the magic pot of gold or something. Ohhhhhh the irony... Looney Toons.
Personally, I will be happy if I can finish my James Bond collection which shouldn't be too difficult since they seem to be commonly found in new DVD shipments. I suppose I shouldn't be too concerned since I managed to pick up over 50 titles that were on my want list. Next weekend should proove to be interesting. |

But still, you need Wunderbars. You need them. You do. Your unborn child needs them, too. I mean, what kind of a father wouldn't at least have a couple of boxes on hand for baby's first day home? A bad father, that's who. Now, about that DVD set . . . |
Re: Big Lots Part 5
went to danvers, ma around 4:30PM. Nothing new as far as I could tell, maybe some new $3 movies, but no $10 sets or Hannah Barbera $3.
Some Dukes, some west wings and the ubiquitous Joey Season 1 still there. Kind of disappointed, I thought the $3 HB's and the $10 sets would hit New England in a wave. Looking for Birdman and space ghost. I watched a couple of wacky racers with my son...maybe I should have left them to memory. I am hopeful that top cat will not disappoint. |

Tell you what - if I do, on the very slim off-chance, come across not one but TWO LT sets, I'll definitely pick them both up and then we can work out some sort of international trade deal (assuming it complies with NAFTA, of course). ;) Deal? |
Re: Big Lots Part 5
Finally some new stuff came down to florida!im in between tampa and orlando,so for the orlando guys that were posting a few days back,id check back asap...what i saw was:
flintstones seasons 1-5 Batman Animated vol 1 and 2 Popeye 1933-1938 Superman vol 1 Adventures of Superman season 2,and 5/6 together. tons more of the hanna barbera cartoons like Wacky Races,Josie and the pussycats,pebbles and bam bam.also stuff like war at home,that larry king's greatest interviews. thats all i can remember off hand but mostly all the stuff thats been reported was there.tons of copies of each.but still no $10 sets. also for the batman/superman animated packs that were bundled together,that huge (2 movies,1 low price) sticker was on the outside of the wrapper,not on the actual box art.both sets are wrapped together,and then each one is wrapped seperately.so for those people that were iffy on getting it,its perfectly fine. |

What a scam. I did see 3 Wonder Woman Complete Series Box Sets at the Polaris location and not much of anything else. Bummer on the WW sets at Polaris. That's one of the stores I have only been to once because it is so inconvenient for me to get to on weekdays. Oh, and :lol: at Phibes and Brian T. Thanks for the laughs! |
Re: Big Lots Part 5
Ive been eying my local Big Lots and in the past week have gotten:
Animaniacs Vol 2 Charlie Diamond Dogs Hero Wanted Brick I saw one History of Rock n Roll set but it sounded like multiple discs were loose so I passed. They also had Nightmares and Dreamscapes and I will get that next time I go. I really hope they get some more Animaniacs/Pinky and the Brain sets as well as some Tales from the Crypt. |
Re: Big Lots Part 5
Visiting Florida, looks like they had just put some stuff out. Guess what? This guy shows up with two carts! Fills both of them up and pays over 200 bucks for everything. He was on the phone with someone, sounded like he was getting prices for trade ins or ebay prices. "How much is that going for?"... "Ok, Ok how about Lois and Clark". He pretty much cleaned them out.
Pissed me off, because all I wanted was the Tales from the crypt seasons, this guy had about 3 copies of each. If I would have only gotten their an hour sooner. I probably shouldn't of have done this but I followed him to his car and asked him if he would take 30 bucks for one of each of the Tales from the crypt. He looked at me and snickered, he said 75$ for all 6. I told the guy to fuck off and walked away. At 30$ he still would have gotten double what he paid for them! But no, that wasn't enough! I wonder if he knows that there are 7 seasons lol! I'm sure an craigslist of ebay listing will pop up. Tales from the crypt ALL SIX SEASONS! whatever! |
Re: Big Lots Part 5
Yowza! I got first dibs on the new $3.00 stock today (GO ME!). However, I just called a few hours later (to try and pick up some stuff for people on DVD Talk) and they told me they are already almost completely out of everything. DEATH TO RE-SELLERS!

Well, I wouldn't necessarily argue with you there. But gestational diabetes can be a real b*tch, and it's one thing I'd like to stay away from if possible. (But hey, my Canuck has brought me back Wunderbars every time he's visited family up there, so he's not all bad! :p ) Tell you what - if I do, on the very slim off-chance, come across not one but TWO LT sets, I'll definitely pick them both up and then we can work out some sort of international trade deal (assuming it complies with NAFTA, of course). ;) Deal? |
Re: Big Lots Part 5
Went back to Derby store. Picked up:
Tales From The Crypt S1-5 Jonny Quest Willard A Guy Thing Stealing Harvard No more Appleseed steelbooks. Sorry, SBJ. |

Of course, trekking Wunderbars across the border on a hot summer day might not end pretty by the time you get them, but perhaps a box of chocolate sludge (looking not unlike those Wal-Mart Parking Lot Burritos, I'm sure) will be just the deterrent you need. :lol:

Re: Big Lots Part 5
I need to emphasize how silly these re-sellers are. They're driving prices DOWN. Amazon and eBay are getting flooded with these sets. Tsk tsk.
