LOL. Sounds like a review of a bad party in Beverly Hills, circa 1958.

LA area update:
- Sepulveda Store - nothing (nearly empty shelves - so a restock may be iminent)-
- Laurel Canyon - Great selection! I found The Whiteshadow season 1! Also saw Buffy seassons, Rescue Me S1, the Practice, Boston Legal, a few more previously viewed tv shows, and some new 3 dollar titles: Bruno, Run fatboy run, Hot fuzz, Arabian Nights (Universal Classics), and more.
- Sherman way - had some used sets of Smallville season 1, 24, Rescue me season 1, more Buffy, and what was found at Laurel Cyn.
Vineland - was well picked over, but had remains of 24, Buffy, Seinfeld, L word, and a few others.

What Fred Astaire set is that?

Nothing of interest lately (like the stuff mentioned above)on the southside of Atlanta, just a few of the $6 TV sets at the fayetteville store....Thanks, I know I am a really good photographer.

MooMooMooMoo

deet, was the entire blue label $3 batch used/ pre-viewed?

mr Articulate

When I saw these in LA, I only noticed that Star Trek was PV.

deet

New. Or at least, nothing that indicated they were used. Most of them had security stickers.

Texan26

I saw this new display also. In addition to those titles, I saw Mind of Mencia Season 1 and 2, The Messengers, Amusement, Get Smart (2001) Complete Series, Karate Kid II, Mystery Men, Changeling (Angelina Jolie), and It Came From Beneath The Sea (2 Disc set.) Each for $3.

mike07

The Amsterdam, NY store got the new addition but I didn't see much of anything at a quick glance. I hate digging through that 4-sided wire bin, I find it harder than digging through Walmart's $5 bin.

laidbacklarkin

My haul yesterday:

Nowehere in Africa 2 Disc Special Edition
The Trail of Lonesome Pine (136 - Paramount's first Technicolor feature - looks great on DVD)

Next week's ad:

Rexxriot

I saw a used copy of God, The Devil and Bob - the Complete Series for $6. I thought that was funny since it showed up new a couple of years ago for $3. I wish I had found a copy then.

Luther Heggs

Damn, I need to keep an eye out for Marooned and The Limits of Control.

Is Educating Rita anamorphic?

Shawerma

i dont mind prevously viewed tv shows but i do mind not having the original case let alone inserts

ryan458

Has anybody seen new sets of Seaquest DSV season 1 at Big lots? I would like to find that one.

Steve

depends. I saw 2 versions of Simpsons Season 5. one was 5 keep cases shrink wrapped together. the other was the deluxe box set with the fold outs discs, complete with inserts and booklet. Both were $6.

BobO'Link

Normally I feel the same way. But... I purchased "Rome" S1 for $6, previously viewed, in 5 amaray cases (one is a double to include the 6th disk). Each case has the original artwork on the label with the back specific to each DVD. Essentially, HBO designed and printed outer labels for the rental market. Considering the consumer version is in a crappy digipak I'm pretty happy. I'll be looking for a standard amaray case which will hold 6 disks as the outer labels are all original and designed for this type case. I'll either fold or cut the extra ones to put inside the case and use one for the outer labeling. I like this packaging so much better than the original that I'm now looking for a rental/library version of S2.

To the list of $3 "Blue Tag" titles, add:
"One Crazy Summer" (John Cusack - Demi Moore)
"B.O.B.'s Big Break" in Monster 3D w/4 pairs of glasses (formerly $5)

deet

Yes.

Luther Heggs

Thanks. I'll be picking this one up - it used to be in constant rotation on cable. "Do it on the radio."

mr Articulate

I've seen PV copies of:

24
Alias
Boston Legal
Buffy
Battlestar Galactica
Futurama
Lost
The L Word
My Name is Earl S3
Smallville
Seinfeld
Scrubs
The Shield
White Shadow S1 (bought it)


Anyone seen Hill Street Blues?

Steve

got Drawn Together S2 for part of the 2/$5. That was worth the trip itself.

also, my BL had the PVD rental copies clearly marked as "rental copy only". Pretty hard to miss it. I picked up one, but did so understanding I would get no special features. But for essentially $2.5 it was worth it to me.

U2Cowboy

What seasons of Smallville?

mr Articulate

I believe I've seen S1 two or three times.

mr Articulate

Is this the last day of 2 for $5?

Saw these $3 titles with the blue stickers at Broadway and 7th: I suspect old titles are being rewrapped with shrink wrap and stickered - over the damaged bar codes, I saw many stickers that said "Secuirty device enclosed".
