Round two of the Fox Studio Classics series was just racked at my SuperTarget. I bought:

The Blue Max/The Desert Fox/Immortal Sergeant/Sink the Bismarck
Black Widow/Call Northside 777/Dangerous Crossing/Laura
The Desert Rats/Twelve O'Clock High/Von Ryan's Express/The Young Lions

All were $9.99, but I'm going to wait a while in case they go on sale for $8.99 as previously, then do a return and rebuy. Incredible pricing, nonetheless.

Good to know that these are being cycled through, as I'd like to pick up Set 14 for under $10 later this year.

^^Thanks for the update! I never go to Target unless a "deal" like this is posted as it's somewhat out of the way in a very high traffic area that I avoid when possible. The $9.99 prices are good enough considering they go for upwards of $15 everywhere else! Even then, it's a 90 day return window so if they're in stock here I'll not wait.

I went by my local Target store here in central California and still were the old ones they had a month or two ago. But hopefully will see the ones that docdoowop found at his local store soon.

I wonder if these titles just arrived today??

Drake

I went to target last night and saw all of these here in MA.

The Blue Max/The Desert Fox/Immortal Sergeant/Sink the Bismarck
Black Widow/Call Northside 777/Dangerous Crossing/Laura
The Desert Rats/Twelve O'Clock High/Von Ryan's Express/The Young Lions

Round 1 and Round 2 are now on the shelves of the Redwood City Target in the Bay Area.

I picked up all of Round 2 since I already had Round 1.

Round 2 for 9.99

Anastasia/Gentleman's Agreement/The OxBow Incident/The Snake Pit
Black Widow/Call Northside 777/Dangerous Crossing/Laura
All about Eve/Beyond the Valley of the Dolls/The Inn of Sixth Happiness/Valley of the Dolls
The Blue Max/The Desert Fox/Immortal Sergeant/Sink the Bismark
The Desert Rats/Twelve O'Clock High/Von Ryan's Express/The Young Lions

What a great release and what a great deal. I love these sets.

My wife just went to Target and bought me ;

Classic Quad Set 11 - Studio Classics
- Blue Max, The (1966)
- Desert Fox, The ( Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel, The ) (1951)
- Immortal Sergeant (1943)
- Sink the Bismarck! (1960)

The new quads haven't made it here yet... guess I'll try again next week.

mike07

Same here. I've been checking my somewhat local store every week since this has been posted and haven't seen it. And to pile onto that, I got accused of shoplifting today because as I was walking out empty-handed the security alarm went off. I assume the person who happened to walk out at the same time as me stole something...

bboisvert

Watertown, I assume? If so, I'm there...

MooMooMooMoo

Thanks for the head's up! I grabbed
Black Widow/Call Northside 777/Dangerous Crossing/Laura
&
Anastasia/Gentleman's Agreement/The OxBow Incident/The Snake Pit

Also noticed a new regular price on both Boondocks sets of $19.99 ea, that's the lowest I've ever seen.

Zbu

The Boondocks has been that low for a while at my local Targets. Probably because the show's ending with this season and it's been eons getting to this season.

ktg

Thanks OP, got the noir set at the Harrisburg, PA Target.

I was wondering what was in Quad set 10? Or was there a quad set 10 at all?

I did see the round 2 at our Target this morning and picked up quad set 8 (Black Widow) and 9 (All About Eve). Will need to go back for #7 (Anastasia set). A little hesitant on #11 (Blue Max set).

BobO'Link

^So far it appears set 10 was skipped. It's not even listed on Fox's site...

darkhawk

Are these 2-discs or 4-discs sets? If they're 2-disc sets, are they flippers?

Adboy151

Four; so far they've been the same discs as the stand-alone releases, down to the disc art.

kndy

With Quad Set 12-15 having come out this past Tuesday...how long does it usually take for them to get to Target? A month or two?

3dipper

In some cases this means disc 1 of a 2-disc set (Quad 1, Can-Can). In others it means an older single-disc release (Quad 2, An Affair To Remember).

Abob Teff

Are there any extras on these? (As if they aren't a good enough deal already ...)

Undeadcow

Although extras are not listed on the back it seems they often come with special features per an earlier pressing (i.e. commentaries from disc 1 [out of 2] for the Valley of the Dolls; featurettes on Laura).

jwstl

Anyone know where I can see a list of all available sets in this series?

While we are on the topic, any more of the titles not the best release available (the aforementioned Can-Can, An Affair to Remember)? Anyone have already done the research and have the info handy?

Preterite

SOLD!

It's "Caligari", btw, though I'd happily pay double to see "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligula"!
