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.

Re: Big Lots Part 8 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)

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?

I mentioned before, most of the 3 packs seem to be randomly assembled.

Yes. It was included in one of the 3-packs with (I think) "Funny Ha Ha" and a National Geographic Kennedy family documentary.

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.

That's awesome that The Chocolate War is at Big Lots. I can't recommend it enough.

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

I found the Godard set in one St. Louis area store but not one Herzog.

Re: Big Lots Part 8 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)

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.

Re: Big Lots Part 8 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)

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.)

Re: Big Lots Part 8 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)

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.
