Re: Big Lots Part 6
Austin, TX seems to be tapped out of the $3 HB set assortments. Pharmer Ln, Round Rock, Spicewood Springs, Airport... NOTHING.
I called one location and they told me they had some stuff left but when I got there all they had was some Superfirneds single disc sets. |

Some stores had a shitload of DVD's, just not much in the way of box sets. Only the usual shit nobody wants like Joey, West Wing, Dukes of Hazard, etc.

Re: Big Lots Part 6
I avoid buying those 50 movie pack sets because all of the movies on them are public domain and you can download them all for free off archive.org.

If they get, say, 4-5 per store and advertise the sale hoping to bring in big crowds, look out...it could be worse than Black Friday stampedes. |

That is correct. SuperFriends sets are part of the $6 sets sale from a couple of weeks ago.

You guys...wow. It's rather comforting to know that there are others...that I'm not the only psycho out there. So refreshing.
I discovered this site about a month ago, but aquired the BL addiction much earlier. I've been following closely, especially news of the $10, but no luck at my store. Until yesterday. You see, I'm on vacation for 2 weeks(beginning yesterday), so to kick things off, my girl and I planned a trip to St. Louis to see some Cardinals/Dodgers action. So I figured I'd use this event as an opportunity to treasure hunt. All weekend--I'm doing intel--I'm printing out maps--I'm on a mission. The plan was to visit my store at opening, then move on to the other 4 as we make our way to the stadium. We walk in...Jackpot!!! All the $10 sets were out(although they appeared to be intentionally obscured by a display of High School Musical cereal). All this hype...I didn't know what to do! hahaha. Eventually, I came to my senses and got what I wanted. The euphoria still fills my brain. We ended up visiting the other stores as well. Nothing. So...good thing. Plus, as a bonus, Cards win!! I've yet to notice anyone speak of the Cape Girardeau Big Lots. This is a notice to anyone who frequents that store and this site to contact me....maybe we can join forces. If I could get some love on a Looney Tunes and a Super Bowl box set!!!:) I live in St. Charles, MO and I think I've been to every big lots in the area except for the Kingshighway location. |
Re: Big Lots Part 6
There were no new DVDs on my local stores truck from yesterday. Zilch. And they condensed all the other $3 titles in with what was left of the old boxsets, so it's a giant mess. The assistant manager told me they've gotten several of those LT boxes in but one guy shows up every morning and has bought all of them thus far (something like 10 or 12). She herself was waiting for the Thundercats boxes, but they never got them at that store.
Oh well. |

Then coming back around 1, I also decide stopping would be a wasted trip. So around 4 I say screw and go over anyway. And guess what? They had a bunch of new stuff.
They had a lot a $6 sets I hadn't seen there before: ER Dallas Knots Landing Friends the Drew Carey Show the Jamie Foxx Show Roots Blade Wonder Woman (seasons 2 & 3) Super Friends vol 2 Smallville season 4 Smallville season 7 (blu-ray) football DVDs (I think it was Broncos maybe?) For new $3 sets they had: Everwood Flintstones Seasons 2, 4, 6 (all unsealed, plenty of 2, two copies of 4 & 6) Adventures of Superman seasons 2, 3/4, 5/6 (one copy each) The Warner Bros Academy Awards set (2 copies) Superman Theatrical Serials collection (3 copies) I bought Blade, Super Friends, Flintstones 4 & 6, Adventures of Superman 2, 3/4, 5/6, the Academy Awards collection and the Superman Theatrical Serials collection (for trade). I can't help but wonder what I missed by not going earlier. I have a feeling I probably missed Adventures of Superman season 1, Flintstones season 5 and the Wonder Woman collection. However, who knows what they might have in the back. |
Re: Big Lots Part 6

Roots: The Complete Collection - $10 Lois & Clark: Season 3 - $3 Popeye: 1933-1938 - $3 |

yeah, I've pretty much decided to give up the hunt and resign myself that I'm not going to find a Looney Tunes set. If it shows up by chance at the BL 200 yards from where I work, ok. But, no nore driving to York, Harrisburg, and Reading PA to try and find stuff. IF the Universe wants me to have it, it will come to me. If not, I'll rent it from Netflix and burn it.:shrug: |

Re: Big Lots Part 6
I emailed Big Lots with "THE" sku and this is the response I received today-
Good afternoon, Thank you for contacting Big Lots Customer Care Department.

There was one that was 80/90 movies that was something like Screen (or Hollywood) Legends. I didn't buy any, but thought someone may be interested in these.

There were at least 5 copies of each, so you should be able to get what you want. |
Re: Big Lots Part 6
I still have yet to find any of the Tales From The Crypt sets :(. I been to 3 different big lots several times over the last week and a half and nothing. Hopefully one of them gets a shipment soon.

On topic: has ANYONE in California seen the $10 sets yet? (hoping "no", so I can believe they just haven't made it here yet....) |
