Re: Big Lots Part 5
The Big Lots store in St. Peters, MO againg has nothing left.
They did however have a huge selection of Nickleodeon and Nick Jr. titles.
I saw Little Bear titles, Blues Clues, Airbender, etc.
Probably over 100 copies or more.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
It's a bit of a drive out I70 from Newark, but Sunday I was in the Cambridge, Ohio store and they had tons of stuff. Lots of HB - some Tales from the Crypt - the IMAX set. The best selection I've seen so far. It was probably lucky timing but just thought I'd let ya know.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Rexxriot, in methuen, you have to go into the store and go straight. The $3 regular DVDs are to the left near the cash registers, but if you go straight, maybe two thirds of the way down the store on the left side of the aisle are the box set dvds.
I was there, today. picked up birdman, some adv. or superman, and the last appleseed steelbox.
I think almost all the lois and clarks were there, almost flinstones 1-6, I think, some seasons were opened.
Also:
Jacques Cousteau River exp
Tom and Jerry Packs
couple of super friends
everwood
adventures of superman
popeye

Challenge of the Super Friends
Super Friends the Legendary Super Powers Show
Josie and the Pussycats
Wacky Races
Dastardly & Muttley
Top Cat
Animaniacs vol 2
Pinky and the Brain vol 2
There are still plenty of copies of the Flintstones season 1-3 and Popeye left, but most of the stuff I got was either the last copy or there was one left. I still would like to find season 2 of Lois & Clark. It would be nice to pick up the last 3 seasons for half of what I paid for the first.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
I called Ricmond, KY this morning and spoke to a manager to see if it was worth my time to drive up for a look-see at lunch (I was there yesterday). He said there hadn't been a restock, that what I saw yesterday was all they had left of the TV DVDs (i.e. none in back). I'm wondering if the supply is beginning to dry up? He said that "for awhile", they were getting so many they were stocking them every few days, but now they don't have any to fill it back up with.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
According to the Biglots website, they have 1,339 stores in 47 states. Divide 1,339 stores by 2 million boxsets/singles you get about 1,494 boxsets/singles per store.
If you assume that there are about 100 different titles in this Warner Bros deal, then that's about 15 copies per store. If there are about 200 different titles in the deal, then that's only about 8 titles per store.
Hmmm, better get out there and start looking for more....

Re: Big Lots Part 5
There are still a few more titles coming, Droopy being one of them, that one wasnt massive in the "buy out" if it would be called that. All of these items are target/walmart/etc returns.
Look at the back of the Kubrick set, it has a target sticker on it-

Re: Big Lots Part 5
If anyone has any info around the Orange County (CA) area that would awesome. I'll report so far.
I went to the Pasadena and Alahambra, CA big lots and they were gutted. All they have left are the usuals (Joey, Dukes, Dallas, crap, crap , crap, etc.) I did managed to find Perils of Penelope Pitstop and Appleseed Machina CE under the heap of DVDs that looked like a tornado ran through them (like most of the Big Lots DVD sections m'rite guys?!)

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Well, since Monday I have been to a buttload of the Dallas stores, including:
and none of them have SQUAT. I don't know if North Texas just got left out of the restock program or what, but this is sad... Many of the stores look like they have the same stuff I saw the last time I came in a couple of months ago.
Anyone have extra copies of TALES FROM THE CRYPT Season 1 and/or 7 they're willing to part with for a reasonable price plus shipping & packaging?
- Skillman & Abrams
- Plano Road & Buckingham
- Garland Road
- West 15th Street (Plano)
- Forest Lane & Marsh
- Valley View & Josey Lane
- Centerville Road & Northwest Hwy.
- Gus Thomasson (Mesquite)
- Airport Frwy & MacArthur
and none of them have SQUAT. I don't know if North Texas just got left out of the restock program or what, but this is sad... Many of the stores look like they have the same stuff I saw the last time I came in a couple of months ago.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
NH update:
I think all the stores have these $3 sets on display now. Still no $10 sets spotted.
Portsmouth (9:00 this morning):
Nothing out yet, but they were making more space on the usual wire dvd rack, hopefully for some sets. Not sure if they are going to make another end cap for this wave of sets like the first wave last week. This could be a problem getting stock as there isn't much room on the rack. Or they could just be making room for the newest NL/WB regular dvd assortment.
Goffstown:
Pretty big restock.
Appleseed Ex Machina (steelbook)
Flintstones S1-6
Popeye V1
Everwood S1
Superfriends S1

Josie And The Pussycats
Pebbles And Bamm-Bamm
WBHE AE Animation Collection
Lois & Clark S1-3
Adventures Of Superman S1-6
Larry King Interviews
..and I found a lone copy of ER S6 on the wire rack.
Nashua:
Small restock:
Flintstones S3
War At Home S1
Jacques Cousteau River Explorations
Tom & Jerry Double Feature (The Magic Ring/Tom & Jerry Tales V1)
Tom & Jerry Double Feature (Hijinks and Shrieks/Blast Off To Mars)
Still plenty copies of Tracey Takes On... S2 and Dukes S4,5, West Wing S2. I think their problem is they have a small amount of space on the wire rack and they are just putting out stock as there is room to fit.
Derry:
Decent restock, saw some stuff here I haven't seen elsewhere:
Peanuts Deluxe Holiday Collection (It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown/A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving/A Charlie Brown Christmas)
Powerpuff Girls Complete Collection
Appleseed Ex Machina (steelbook)

Re: Big Lots Part 5
Honestly, I think the Danvers store will continue to disappoint. It's the only one I've been checking because I really don't want to run all over the place on the off chance I might get something good. I was really hoping I could at least pick up Lois & Clark seasons 2-4 and Looney Tunes vol 6, but I'm thinking that I'll probably end up with nothing.
Will somebody please buy up the remaining Joeys and Westwings so that they can restock with the sets we all want?

I have to hold myself back from sneaking into the stock room while wearing my ninja costume and searching for any boxsets that may be hiding there. Probably more WWs and Joeys (DOH!)

Re: Big Lots Part 5
The store in Colonie, NY had plenty of Joey S1 yesterday (about 10 sets or so) but there was only 1 left today. I was surprised to see them all gone.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
The Joey sets really crack me up.
I've never seen the show, but it must be total crap when you have complete seasons of it that NOBODY wants for even 3 bucks.
People are buying up Life goes on sets faster than the Joeys....ha ha ha

Re: Big Lots Part 5
You know, Joey actually isn't that bad. Granted, I've only watched the first 4 episodes, but I've gotta say what I've seen is pretty watchable.
Cary, NC store had nothing new today. I did see a lone Pinky and the Brain vol.2 which I don't remember seeing before, but it sounded like it contained a loose disc or two.

Re: Big Lots Part 5
The problem might also be that there is a second season that was never released on DVD.
