Re: Big Lots Part 8 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)
As has been mentioned in other threads, 21 Jump street and Hunter are getting "complete series" releases later this year. GAH has also been released as a "complete series". It may be better to wait on some of these unless you just want to "test the water".

Re: Big Lots Part 8 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)
Thanks to a 20% Buzzclub discount, a cashier who forgot to scan one item (3rd time!) and some 3-packs I managed to score 25 titles for $31. Highlights include:
Werner Herzog Essentials (No Godard or Almodovar)
Greta Garbo TCM documentary
Z: Masterworks Edition
Mccabe & Mrs. Miller
Wyatt Earp 2-disc
Incubus
Palindromes
Some of the 3-packs had some mighty peculiar combinations - an animated 10 Commandments paired with a horror film (The Last Winter), Dirty Sanchez unrated alongside a children's Christmas film, etc.

It really looks like there are a lot more of the Herzogs getting out then the Godard & Almodovar. Has anyone found all 3? If so, did they ring up as part of the same batch or as different batches?

Found the Herzog set at a Reno, NV store, so there's hope for those searching for this one on the west coast. Still no Godard or Almodovar unfortunately.

Someone mentioned that they picked up the 3 Disc version that had the Wal-Mart exclusive 4th Disc. So technically, there's 3 versions floating around.

Looking but cannot find the Herzog or Godard sets at St. Louis, MO area BL stores. I'm thinking I may've missed 'em.

Massive restock and additions here. Lots and lots of the 3-packs and still more of the simply awfuly AMC and TV guide sets along with the Mill Creek sets already listed.
Picked up:
"Tenspeed and Brownshoe" - Complete series
and 2 of the 3-packs:
"Pirates - Blood Brothers", "Cloned", and "The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe"
"Terror of Frankenstein", "PTU", and "Frostbitten"
I was amazed at the number of copies of "PTU" one could amass simply by purchasing other 3-packs to get some of the different titles. It seemed like *every* 3-pack of horror/sci-fi had a copy of PTU in the middle.

Although there's been constant restocking, it's been months since I've seen a ton of new titles at BL - until today. There was only 2 or 3 "bundled" sets and none of the director sets mentioned but lots of Paramount:
Officer and a Gentleman
American Gigolo
Reds
Ordinary People
Days of Heaven
Donovan's Reef
a couple of Jerry Lewis and Elvis Presley vehicles

Saw a bunch of Slumdogs, but they had scary stickers on the back...

Re: Big Lots Part 8 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)
Went looking high and low at my Big Lots for the ESPN triple feature with Playmakers and Tilt, but no such luck. I was a big fan of Playmakers back in the day.
I did see several bundles with both the 3 disc Bronx Is Burning and the 5 disc, and there were different ESPN titles included with certain packs.
Ended up picking up the 5 disc Bronx Is Burning with The Junction Boys and some March Madness DVD. If I wanted the 5 disc set, it was either that bundle or a bundle with two USC DVDs. No thanks! (Sorry, USC fans.)

I'm hoping I can find the 5-disc Bronx Is Burning, and the 3-disc Bronx Is Burning with the Walmart-exclusive bonus disc.
