Same here... I'd pick up Winchester 73 too if I ran across one and might get Yankee Doodle Dandee depending on my mood.

MooMooMooMoo

The new batches hit here today. No FBI (though Pearl was quite picked out when I got there; Bridgeport didn't have that or Marx Bros either.

Highlights I saw (small quantities on the $3, larger quantities on the 5's & there is a $6.88 batch of DE's that seems to be just sitting:

$3: Key Largo
The Best years Of Our Lives
Great Ziegfeld

$5. Yankee Doodle Dandy (I collect Cagney; though I hate musicals I had to buy this one)
My Little Chickadee
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The Spoilers

The $6.88's were mostly DE's. The only one of interest to me which I didn't buy was Downey's Sherlock Homes Sequel
There was also a Harry Potter box of some sort, a few blu's & maybe 10 more MEH $6.88 cd titles.

Biggest stock appeared to be the $5's; several of which would have appealed at $3.

I went to Pearl & Bridgeport; Bridgeport had a better $3 & $6.88 selection & a SLIGHTLY better $5 selection.

Was Parental Guidance DVD or BD? Now that BL sells some BDs, unless I see BD next to the title, I normally assume it's DVD, but I think you (like I) only buy BDs now? So if it was Parental Guidance BD for $5, that's a pretty good deal (especially if it was the BD + DVD combo pack with slipcover). I paid $6 used for it from Gohastings.

If they are going to have surprise BD deals like this on a recent release, I'm almost thinking someone should start a Big Lots BD deals thread in the BD forum so I'll notice it more as I don't look here too often.

I don't usually respond to your posts, Manzana, since reading them is exhausting enough. This is the DVD Bargains thread and you're wanting clarification if this is a DVD or a BD? As for your suggestion about a Big Lots BD thread, that's a great idea. Such a great idea, that there already is one and I found it with very little effort.

That'sAllFolks

Actually I think Mananza has a good idea. We don't have to be legalistic about where we post deals. Cllarification would be nice and can be done with minimal effort.

As BL doesn't seem to have many BD deals, I understand why most are reported here. It would be nice if the BD Big Lot deals were also in the BD thread. If, in the future, BL seems to have more BD deals to report, I am nb sure long time followers of this thread would also appreciate a heads up...

MooMooMooMoo

My 2 cents is I would prefer both DVD & Blu here.

BobO'Link

^Yep. I don't like the separate bargain sections as many deals work for both and unless you spend time in each you can easily miss stuff.

Manzana

OK. That BL BD bargains thread is nowhere near the top (so I forgot about it) because people lately have been posting the BD deals in the DVD thread instead of there. Since I tend to look at the BD group a lot more than here, it would be cool if people seeing BD deals at BL would post them in the thread you linked to. If they want to post them here too, it's fine. I rarely use search. I pretty much look at the threads at the top of any group with posts from the last 1-3 days. If we are going to mix BDs and DVDs here, then I hope people will always clarify which format a title is (I believe at least 1 of the earlier posts did not). Thanks.

I saw the Universal Anniversary edition of Touch of Evil and Brokeback Mountain with slips for $5, and a bunch of the Harry Potter deluxe year 2 boxes for $6.88

MooMooMooMoo

There were a ton of that HP box at both stores I was at yesterday.

JohnIan

I will be seeking that out.

b2net

Also saw the HP at Ollie's Bargain Outlet for either $6.99 or $7.99 (can't remember the price just seeing it there).. Ollie's is a new store that just popped up on town very near to one of our Big Lots and seems to be another Big Lots type store..

I just got around to watching Jason Goes To Hell, which I got because it had the unrated version and audio commentary on it. To my surprise, there was no audio commentary. The back didn't have it listed (should have checked it!), though I am only aware of one DVD version with the unrated cut and that has the audio commentary. I can find no reference to a DVD release that is commentary-less.

Is anybody else aware of this version of the film - unrated but no commentary?

Where did Big Lots get this from?

Alan Smithee

Are you sure you were watching the unrated version? The one I have has both cuts but the commentary is only accessible during the unrated version. Does your disc have just the unrated cut, and no commentary?

Steve

it has both versions, but I can't find anything to get to a commentary. It is not listed on the audio, and there are no special features (no jump to death scene, etc)!

The way I get to the unrated is when I hit "play" a screen shows up asking me which version to see.

I watched the unrated version. Didn't see an option for a commentary...

Also, the back of the package doesn't list the commentary. Every screenshot of the DVD back I have seen has.

Weird

I may have to check it again.. very strange.

Steve

never mind.. reloaded the disc.. evidentaly when I watched the movie the player auto-started the play option. (I thought I hit it).

when I went to the main menu, I saw the 'all access' option and -sure enough- there is the commentary.

sheesh..

Sorry for taking this thread off topic..

(though I did notice that the cover and back are indeed different that every DVD cover/back scan I have seen. oh well... I have the unrated and commentary. so I am good!)

mr Articulate

Been a while since I bought anything at BL, but a $5 off $15 coupon lured me in.

Found @ $5 (there was also an 84 cent off sale!!)

My Little Chickadee
Electric Horseman WS
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Rain Man
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid -Ultimate collector Edition
Ray - WS
Touch of Evil

SterlingBen

Went in with the new coupon but couldn't find anything new, will try again closer to the expiration date, hopefully they will get some halloween shippers in.

MooMooMooMoo

I got a $5 off $20 today & used it. Lexar 16 GB Flash drives were on sale on $9.88, so part of it went to that. Wish BL would start carrying 32 gb drives.

Cardsfan111

My wife got a 5 off of 15 coupon today. I still have never received one of these coupons. Got an e-mail from Big Lots today reminding me that my rewards program was changing on October 1st (had already received notice of this before), so maybe they'll come my way eventually.

Rich is Poor

The Yakuza for $3.

That'sAllFolks

Got a 5 off 5 last week and before I even used it --

I got another 5 off 5 yesterday. (same account)

Funny thing is, the only thing I've purchased in the last 6 months without a coupon or 20% off is a DVD marked down to 1.50.

Even with these coupons, I'm having trouble finding something I really want at my local BL. I could drive to another one, but I'm not going to waste 5 bucks in gas to maybe find something I really want. I keep looking for that Warner shipment at my local BL, but have yet to see it.
