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. Unfortunately, we are not currently able to help with your inquiry as the MEMOREX 25 PACK CDR (sku# 550015483) you are looking for is not currently available in CA. The majority of our merchandise is closeout merchandise and is constantly changing. Due to the nature of our business - buyouts, closeouts and special one-time buys - we must limit our sale to stock on hand and cannot place orders for the merchandise once it is gone. We strive to always offer fresh merchandise in our stores and online in order to create an exciting, bargain-hunting atmosphere.
It is possible that this item or a similar item may be available again sometime in the future.
Thank you again and have a nice day.

Re: Big Lots Part 6
I agree with Belar. Even with media backup, I really don't want large segments of my movie collection at risk of a network outage and/or hard drive crash.
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....)

Im not so sure what the $10 set you meant...
I saw a $10 boxset (about a dozen) of Stanley Kubrick Collection and $12 (I think) of Three movie boxset. The same store also carries True Blood S1 DVD and Deadwood Season sets sells for $3 and freakin stacked up of LA Lakers Dynasty (which sucks..)

Re: Big Lots Part 6
Well today this is all I wanted:Pro Football Hall of Fame: 85 Years of Greatness
But I did see Tundercats season 1 (in two parts?) and a few 5 disc Super-Bowl sets and Baylon 5 the movie collection and Pinky and Brain season 1 and that's about all!

Re: Big Lots Part 6
I have not stepped into a Big Lots since Saturday and it feels good I need a break.
The truck delivers on Wed. so I will stop by on Thursday.

Re: Big Lots Part 6
The closest store to me is in Carbondale. The closest one up your way is Festus...almost double the Carbondale distance.
Thanks for your offer though...I wish we could've helped each other out.

I have "joined forces" with a handful of folks so far. If any of you want to work with me to help one another make sure we get certain things, let me know. I picked up around 5 items for a fellow member earlier today to help them out.

I hit up four North Texas Big Lots today, still didn't see any $10 boxsets. Really, I didn't find much of anything. I bunch of Joey, Dallas, and Dukes of Hazard, mostly. I did manage to finally find Seasons 1 & 2 of The Flintstones, though.

Re: Big Lots Part 6
I'd be interested in that! When I stumbled on the Tales from the Crypt boxsets, I was bummed I didn't have anyone to buy/trade extras for. I must have been one of the first ones there because they had many copies of S. 2-6, the next day, almost all were gone - just a couple S. 5 and S. 3. Anyway, count me in if possible. Personally, I'm looking for Tales S. 1 and 7, Wonder Woman complete series, and the holy grail: Kubrick. The Deadwood set would also be great! What are folks looking for/need?

Re: Big Lots Part 6
That said, (and this rant is not in direct reference to drewz's posts), shouldn't it be a rule here that if you don't have your location listed in your profile box (or all you have is the name of your state), it should be MANDATORY that you post where in the heck you're shopping (i.e., city and state, if not individual locations by street name in places where there are multiple BigLots stores)??? Honestly, it drives me crazy to see people say, "I picked up the following today...," or "Man, I really scored! I got...." without identifying where they were! So many of the main posters in these BL threads are SO good to post as to what they saw/bought by location, it really streamlines things for the rest of us.
We're here to SHARE INFO folks, and it's a major pain in the heinie to see every third post quoting someone else's post only to ask "Where in California?," or "What NYC location?," etc. Take half a second and post where you got those great finds... saves the rest of us time and headaches; and it means we'll have more room in the thread for posts of pertinent info!
Stepping off the soapbox now...

Re: Big Lots Part 6
I don't know how they divvy it up regionally, but let's hope there's something to that idea about different parts of the country being behind others. Tuesday is the shipment day for most stores here in Houston, and they generally don't put it out until the next day, so only time will tell. I haven't heard of anyone in the South finding any of the $10 sets.
