Re: Big Lots Part 5
I just hit the Colonie, NY one and they had plenty of season sets in stock.
The Adventures of Louis and Clark 1-4, Flintstones, Wonderwoman, Roots, Dukes Of Hazard, Dallas, Tales From The Cryps, Joey, Friends, ER and so on. Horrible how they stack them on their shelves. I picked up the only complete Wonderwoman box set.
Happy hunting.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Perhaps our banter could be nominated for exchange of the year and we could split the massive monetary prize that goes along with it if we win. I hear you get a bunch of five cent box sets..... 
Sirrah, if we are killing you I'd imagine that you're in a trailer and cooking parking lot burritos amongst your hoarded stash of Looney Tunes box sets. To the hunt! We shall find you... if the tornado doesn't get you first!

It's funny, I went back there to return two sets I bought this past Sunday, but it turns out they never charged me for the TRACY ULLMAN Season 2 set, so they wouldn't let me return it. LOL. I can't give that thing away! At this point I would be willing to trade it for some really cool marbles.

Another trip to the Milford,MA store today once again proved fruitless. Still no Hanna Barbera sets to speak of. They did have an MGM display out today with titles like Pauly Shore is Dead and Throw Mama From the Train.
I really wanted to find all 6 Flintstones seasons but I'm not going to kill myself to do so.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
I may have surrendered to the dark side and bought all the the coveted Looney Toons boxed sets rather than letting the reseller get them all but at least I am offering them to my fellow DVDTalkers for trade rather than selling them on eBay or trying to trade them in at FYE.
Beware the power of the dark side.

It's worth a try, right?

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Hey man - Sounds good. I work over in Herndon so it's sorta a pain in the ass to go over there though it's close. I end up wasting $1 on the toll rd. each trip. I asked them to check in the back but the guy said he hadn't seen anything - for whatever that's worth. Yeah, I haven't seen any $10 sets or blu-rays at Sterling either.

Mine (Midwest City, OK) finally got some of the newer sets, but just the most common ones.
I got
Popeye vol 1 (I'm going to try to sell the tin I overpaid for) they had about 12 of these
Jacques Cousteau River Explorations (about 8)
Tales from the Crypt 5 (got the only one, no other seasons)
I left
Lois & Clark Season 2 or 3 don't remember which (they had lots of these)
Flintstones Season 3 (about 5 of these)
Dastardly & Muttly and a few other cartoons (2-3 copies of each), but none of the highly-desirable ones.
Not much else worth mentioning. They were moving pretty fast. I'd probably buy "Roots" and any "Tales from the Crypt" they put out, but I won't be heartbroken if they never show up. I wish they would get some of the 2 disc SEs that seem to be popping up everywhere else. Despite the volume of customers, it's really a small store, so I don't think they get quite as much merchandise as the bigger stores. There's a big store at 63rd & May in OKC, but they rarely get any DVDs, just a few Spanish titles. I have never been to the one on the SW side of OKC.

Sent you a PM.
To the poster who asked me about the receipt and did it show up under something else, the clerk told me that only the other DVD set I bought and returned was on the receipt. She ran the bar codes of both DVD sets and said they had neglected to charge me for the Tracey Ullman one.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Hey St. Louis folks!
The Lemay Ferry store apparently restocked this morning. I just took a trip over there on my lunch break and was able to pick up the following:
Flintstones S2,3,4,5,6
Wacky Races
Pebbles & Bamm Bamm
Popeye
Batman TAS Vol. 4
Adventures of Superman S3&4
Woohoo!
I got the last Flintstones S5, but there were additional copies of all the rest, as well as Everwood S1, which I had no interest in. No Crypt, no Looney Tunes. The store manager said that they didn't receive any $10 sets.
Now to find Flintstones S1 and all the other HB stuff...

Re: Big Lots Part 5
So just hit up another store south of St Louis, MO and found all kinds of various HB stuff, Supernatural S3, Batman TAS V3, and some Superman stuff. Most of it I picked up to trade for things I can't find. So check out the exchange thread and I'll post my list.
On a side note I was thinking about not picking most of it up and just informing people about the stuff I saw and I would pick it up to trade that way. However shopping at Big Lots virtually everyday for nearly a month I started to see a lot of the same people. One of whom was a guy that I know resells a lot, which I learned after a heated arguement over a damn season of ER. Needless say I saw him grab a cart and head towards the DVDs and I grabbed anything they had only 1 or 2 copies of. I would much rather trade or offer them to people on here than to let him get them. Needless to say I felt vindicated when he walked over and I had a stack of about 25 DVD sets and he just looked pissed.

I suppose it all depends on who manages the store and who you talk to.

Anybody finding these titles and bargains at any of the Illinois Big Lots? Just needing to know where to find the most DVDs so I don't have to travel all throughout the tri-state area. Appreciate it and thanks for this thread!

Re: Big Lots Part 5
This thread is driving me nuts because i want some of these $3 sets badly! I don't know what to do now because i called my closest big lots yesterday which is 30 mins away and asked if there was a restock with the boxsets and she was nice enough to put me on hold and check them out. She came back on and named a few but were mostly the $6sets and she said there were only a handful of them there and nothing too new yet. So i called them just now and i asked another person and she wasn't sure but said the dvd section looked pretty full. So i don't know whether i should take the drive out there tonight and hope to find some of these sets or wait till the weekend.
