Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Quick question. My boxed set of "America's Game: The Superbowl Champions" was stickered "Costco Exclusive! Includes bonus disc 'A Countdown To History'", and contains a promotional disc in a paper sleeve. Do all sets come with it?

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

OMG! In my Ten years of collecting and over 2,300 DVD's. I had my best DVD day ever! And I live In Terre Haute, IN where most Dvd's are made and are very cheap to get in these parts (Columbia House & Sony are here). I stopped by Big Lots this morning and picked up All these for $3:

Tales from the Crypt season 3 & 5
Larry Kings greatest interviews
Lois & Clark season 1, 2, 3
Adventures of Superman 1, 2, 5 & 6 (George Reeves)
Top Cat: Complete Series
Huckleberry Hound Volume 1
Wacky Racers: Complete Series
Josie & The Pussy Cats: Complete Series
Pebbles & Bamm Bamm Show: Complete Series
Flintstones 1,3,4,6 Seasons

plus for $6 I got

Nip Tuck Season 1
Joey: Season 1

And as I was checking out the counter lady said you must love DVD's (no shit) and she said do you want any of these and she rolled out a cart of the $10 sets
and I picked up:

The Looney Tunes Volume 1-5 with Pins
Roots: Complete collection
America's Game:The Superbowl Champions (40 Disc all 40 Super Bowls)
IMAX: The Ultimate Collection 20 disc set

all of the above out the door for $118

they have a huge bin full of the $3.00 sets

They only had one IMAX and One Superbowl set and I just got lucky getting them.

This in addition to what I picked up last week
Flintstones 2 & 3
West Wing Season 2
Tales from crypt 1
4 of the Scooby Doo Sets
Night Court season 1
Tracey Takes On season 1
Sam Kinison
and a Broncos Superbowl DVD

all for a total of under $170 making for the greatest DVD week in my ten years of collecting. I still cant believe these prices. I got all 6 seasons of the Flintstones for $18
long live Big Lots!!!!!

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Just imagine how much you would have spent if you paid list price. Congrats on the deals.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

i am having no luck northside of houston 3 stores so far all picked clean, quick question about the roots set is that the original complete set and if it is wide or fools screen.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

no $10 sets at either the wallingford or derby spots in CT. Man CT big lots are overall kind of weak.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Nothing new at my local store, other than some Nickelodeon cartoons, though the Avatar: The Last Airbender DVDs were $4 each instead of $3 as mentioned elsewhere. No new boxed sets whatsoever.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

WOW I paid $6 for Tracey takes on in Florida and also found Season 1 of Waiti Till Your Father Gets Home. Not even sure if it was worth picking up,b tu it was the 1st HANNA-BARBARA set i ever saw at Big Lots so i figured what the hell. :)

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

You're not whistling dixie. I've resigned myself to the realization that I'm not meant to score on these sets. Even if the Derby store ever does get these sets, I'm not going to get them unless I walk in right when they are shelving the stock. While I was at Derby this morning, there were a couple of other vultures circling around the DVD rack and in the electronics department. I then went to the FYE in Trumbull and there was a kid trading in an obvious Big Lots! haul(West Wing, Nip/Tuck, O.C., etc). No more special trips for me.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Yup, nothing new today at the Big Lots in Newington. Everything was picked clean of what I had seen last time I was there.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

This pretty much sums up my own thoughts on the mission at hand. I've put my want list out to friends and family all over the country, but also emphasized that none of it are "must haves." The 8 or so things on my list would be nice to have, especially at the price, but there isn't anything I can't live without as far as my investment in the hobby goes. I guess I've been rather lucky that nothing so far has really inspired a deep longing to "have to have it."

What I've enjoyed most is the adventure of it and reading all the posts about what everyone has found or not found and the various experiences therein. It's been a lot of fun and I look forward to more of the same. I'm happy for everyone who has found their treasures and send all my best wishes and hopes for those still searching. I'm not giving up, just sitting back to get some perspective before the next round.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Just called the Allentown, PA store. Some jack ass went and spent $500 and wiped them out of all their entire $3 DVD shipment! I wish nothing less then death on him and his entire family! GREEDY MONEY HUNGRY BASTARD! :mad2:

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

PS: Keep en eye out for the next shipment to your store. I called a local store and the manager knew about the DVD but said they wouldn't arrive until Monday.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Didn't find anything new at my Big Lots today, but I stopped by the flea market this afternoon and hit the jackpot. There was a local video store that closed and had their ENTIRE inventory out there for $1/DVD and $2/Boxed Set (tv series mainly). Spent several hundred dollars and even that was holding myself back.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

LOL. The Austin Arboretum Big Lots had a ton of $6 DVD Boxsets but they were ALL the Dukes of Hazard.

I picked up (for $3)
The Right Stuff (2-Disc SE)
The Wild Bunch (2-Disc SE)
Empire Records: Remix Edition
Pleasantville (keepcase, woo)

... will check out the other N Austin location near Fry's today or tomorrow. Also got the 20% coupon at checkout.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Has anyone seen anything around Orange County, CA? I feel the majority of the best finds are either in the mid to east coast. Or maybe I'm just unlucky--all the stores I get to are all gutted and all I'm left with are Dukes of Hazard and Joey (boo!).

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Must have been a reseller. I am having similar problems with the three Big Lots in my area. People pick them clean almost as soon as they are restocked.

However, I did manage to get just over 50 dvd titles for $3 each today. Sadly, there were no decent boxed sets to be found. Maybe next week will be better.

My want list includes:

The Kubrick Collection
Roots Complete Collection (not next generation, have it)
Looney Tunes Golden Collection (1-5 pack?)
Babylon 5 Movie Collection
Appleseed ex machina (steelbook 2-disc?)

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Anyone else notice Roots Complete Collection with an extra book shrinkwrapped on the outside of the box with it?

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Yes, that's the version I picked up today at the Newport, KY store. It's a bonus book (and software?) called 1-2-3 Family Tree from Ancestry Publishing. There were at least a dozen Roots sets at this store, about half with the bonus book.

A ton of TV series sets at this store, most of them shoved on an endcap near the electronics. No Looney Toons sets, unfortunately.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

The original Roots miniseries is presented in standard screen format because that is how it was broadcast.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Is it true that some stores put the boxed sets like Roots in another location separate from the main DVD display?

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Stopped by three more Big Lots today, and nothing new. As everyone else is reporting, the only box sets still in stock from the last batch are the multitude of Dukes of Hazzard, Joey, Night Court ... ha ha.

So I have to agree with some of the folks here that are reporting the WB cartoon box sets will probably hit San Diego store shelves next week, in time for the next Big Lots ad. In my experience, Big Lots stores put out their dvd sales stuff a few days before the sale goes into effect. So I'm going to hope that by Thursday/Friday, we should start seeing the goodies.:)

Keep the faith, everyone ... we'll hit the dvd jackpot eventually.;) And thanks to those posters who have made me laugh like crazy with their candid words about Big Lots dvd resellers (ex. vultures circling around the dvds, wishing death on resellers and their families, etc.) ... LOL!!!:lol:

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Now if we can only determine when those ever-so-popular and seemingly non-existent DVD boxed sets will hit the store shelves again and get to them before the vultures do.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Don't remember seeing these listed, but I just picked up; The Ben Stiller Show complete and Justice League Season One Blu-Ray for $3 ea.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

DVD Vultures ... I love it!!!:D We should have t-shirts made ... "Say no to vultures!";)

Re: Big Lots Part 5
 

Cool... hope to find a season 1 in my hunt... Thanks.. :)
