amc DVD collection, where are they?

I've been finding them at Walmart in the $5.50 bin. Does anyone know where else I can get them? On line they are priced at $9.00
I was able to get at Walmart: Hollywood Divas, Rat Pack, Vivian Leigh, Martin & Lewis, Dragnet. I want Liz Taylor, John Wayne, Tough Guys, Hollywood Heros.

AMC, Genius Products and Falcon Picture Group Release "AMC Movies" DVD Collection
1/14/2004 8:11:00 PM

Through its multi-year licensing agreement with AMC, Genius Products GNPI and Falcon Picture Group have released their second collection of DVD movies. The AMC Movies collection includes six DVD sets featuring actors Cary Grant, James Cagney, Vivian Leigh, Edmond O'Brien and Gary Cooper and one set devoted to Hollywood's best detective movies. Each collection features four films on two DVD's and has a suggested retail price of $9.99 each. AMC Movies are currently available in major retail chains.

In September 2003, AMC, Genius Products and Falcon Picture Group launched their partnership with the AMC Monsterfest DVD collection, featuring monster movies starring Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper.

Falcon Picture Group has licensed three brands from AMC: AMC Monsterfest, AMC Movies and AMC TV for Movie People. AMC Monsterfest collections were made available in October; AMC TV for Movie People collections are currently in development. They will include classic television programming from Abbott & Costello, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, The Lone Ranger, The Red Skelton Show, Dragnet and The Lucy Show. AMC TV for Movie People will be available in retail chains in February 2004.

Falcon Picture Group licenses studio movies and television programs and works with public domain features to generate content and package the DVD collections, using AMC's logo and vibrant color palette. Genius Products works with major retail outlets to distribute the collections.

"Our partnership with AMC has been an excellent move for us," stated Klaus Moeller, CEO of Genius Products. "Entering the DVD business with a respected name in the entertainment business has given us instant credibility in a very competitive environment. We're extremely pleased with the success of our arrangement with AMC."

"Teaming with Genius and Falcon Picture Group has proven to be a successful venture for AMC," said David Knise, vice president, AMC Digital Ventures. "As an established leader in the cable industry this partnership has enabled AMC to expand into another viable entertainment arena."

"Our success with AMC Monsterfest has been phenomenal," stated Julie Ekelund, executive vice president of sales & marketing of Genius Products. "We've become a major provider of classic DVD content in a very short period of time. The feedback from our retail partners has been extremely positive."

They sure are ridiculously boastful. "Gee, it's a good thing amc came along to release these movies on DVD, because we can't get them anywhere else!" Anyone want to start a public domain label with me?

I saw Cary Grant and James Cagney at Best Buy today. I didn't notice any others while I was browing for nothing in particular.

I love that quote about them being a major provider of classic DVD content. Give me a break. These sets are so terrible. It's like you're watching the movie through an opaque white sheet with a ton of pixellation every time anything or anybody movies at all. They're some of the worst public domain transfers I've seen. I got the Cary Grant one a long time ago just to see how it was and it's absolutely unwatchable.
