Plenty of copies at my Walmart, and it was $9.96!

Great movie for a great price, and reportedly the transfer is decent as well.

Watched my copy yesterday. Nice transfer, fun extras. I think it really is my favorite Farrley Bros movie. It holds up on repeated viewings a lot better than their other flicks.
Also, in a slightly self serving (but interesting) plug, Vanessa Angel is the guest on this week's episode of my TV Guidance Counselor Podcast. Free on iTunes and the usual places.

Walmart is doing a new re-set of their $9.96 titles. Kingpin is in that section. I saw the shelf tag this morning, but no copies were out yet. Hopefully it arrives soon as the online pricing stinks.

No. Just the film.
The Walmart I was in today had about 15 or so copies for $9.96. All of them had slipcovers, and all of them were beat to shit. I think it's because of the material used for the border and the sides of the box. It's very gritty and kind of embossed. Must be prone to wear a lot faster.
One thing I noticed is that there was no Warner Bros. logo on it. Looks like Paramount distributed it themselves. Is there a reason this was exempt from their deal for catalog titles?

Warner was not given access to libraries that Paramount has access to like CBS Video, Rysher, and Republic Pictures.
