DVD Boxset deals at Big Lots Warner Bros, Hanna Barbera season sets $3, $6, and $10

[bornrunnin31]

Does anyone know what their return policy is? Like a moron I bought one today that I bought last week. All those Superfriends DVDs look a like to me. I knew I should have made a list before going today.

If it's still sealed, should be 30 days with receipt. At the bottom it actually prints the date the receipt is good until.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

SHIT!! If not for the FYE trade credit deal thread, I would've never known about this sale. I'm short on cash, but I'd LOVE to pick up both Pinky & The Brain volumes and the Animaniacs ones.

I also wish to hell Warner would put Freakazoid on a normal DVD boxset already, since I think there is only a bootleg available as of now.

[Animal7390]

actually one set came out last year and the second set this year. the dd sale is prolly your best bet unless you have a ton of fye credit.

[zman73]

Actually, they have put all three Animaniacs sets out at BL... I got vol 3 a few days ago

[guitardedboy]

Went to 4 odd lots yesterday in Columbus, OH area....... Nothing new.

Dying to get Looney Tunes box set.

[InvaderZim]

I went to Big Lots when they opened Sunday. They did have about 100 box sets. But they were crap - and about ten copies of each.

Dukes season 4 and 5

OC season 2

Roots

Night Court season 1

total crap that no one is my area would even buy for a dollar.

[crazedracerguy]

I'm just going to plan on being at BL on opening for the next few days... I don;t know if they have any other boxes of DVD's or not. The CSS I talked to didn't think so, but I want to be sure they aren't holding boxes back for the Sunday Ad. For the America's Game set, I may just have to camp out at BL :)

[guitardedboy]

got animaniacs v1 & 2

Niptuck season 4

History of Rock n Roll



What the hell is up with all the Joeys!!!!!! Why were so many of these made>?


Still looking for the Holy Grail....the Looney Tunes box set.

[crazedracerguy]

I picked up an extra Josie and the Pussycats today. It was the last $3 set I could find. Next time, I'm just going to buy a crapload and put them up here for trade. No sense in letting the flippers and idiots I saw at BL yesterday grab all the sets...

thats what i did. my area usually only has flippers and very little cag activity. and if anyone from the NH area wants to meet up to trade or buy, i am all for that.

Exactly - especially when the stuff was gone over the course of the first day of being put out. If CAGgers were there, then great - but the people I saw buying all the stuff were DEFINITELY not CAGgers.

[mikefavata]

Is the Blade TV set easy to find?

[cag1000]

ugghh finally found a boxset.....something, anything....unfortunatly all that had left was Dukes of Hazzard Season 5. Anyone know the FYE trade in value for this one? Or if anyone is looking for this boxset to trade let me know.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

Freakazoid is out legally as of this year - two sets cover the entire series.

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up about that. Between that series and the first couple seasons of Transformers G1, I was really wondering if they would EVER come out with legit boxsets for them. The only option available prior on the TF sets was a compilation from Asia in both Chinese and English, I believe.

[slidecage]

got animaniacs v1 & 2

Niptuck season 4

History of Rock n Roll

i would of got JOEY For 3.00... even at 6.00 JOEY is over priced : )

Joey: The Complete First Season [4 Discs][Subtitle] - DVD
SKU: 7750971 | Release Date: 5/30/2006 best buy 35.00

29

if best buy would price adjust would knock it little over 3.00 but i doubt they would price adjust even with teh 2 recpets

[elessar123]

Not sure if any one posted this, but I also saw a South Park 3-pack for $6. I think it has 4 episodes from each of the first three seasons only, and not the complete seasons.

Picked up the only Animaniacs vol. 1. Can't find vol. 2, and skipped on Pinky and the Brain vol. 1. Also saw Super Friends, the OC, West Wing, Six Feet Under S3, Dukes of Hazzard, Knots Landing, and I think that was it.

[Demolition Man]

What the hell is up with all the Joeys!!!!!! Why were so many of these made>?

Because they were hoping that the DVD boxset release for season one might help the show going into the second season. Instead it just went on its merry way to its grave. So now we are stuck with floods of them taking up valuable space at Big Lots.

Too bad its predecessor show couldn't of been a failure too.

[Animal7390]

i want to run into one soooooo bad, but i have never run into one. i pick up more than one for my collection but i always offer anything i find extras of on cag first. if no one here wants one, then i mostly return them back to the store so someone else can find them. im about cag first.

word to your motha

[manthing]

I hit all 3 area Big Lots and picked up a sh*tload:

$3
Flintstones Complete 1st Season
Flintstones Complete 2nd Season
Flintstones Complete 3rd Season
Top Cat Complete Series
Wacky Races Complete Series
Dastardly& Muttley in their Flying Machines Complete Series
Appleseed ExMachina 2 disc :dvd: steelcase
Mission Hill Complete Series :shock:
Superman the Movie 4 disc SE :dvd: :shock:
Popeye Volume 1(Fleisher years)

Animaniacs Season 1
Thundercats Season 1 Volume 1(contains episodes 1-33) :hot:

$10
Roots The Complete Collection

I saw Batman the Animated Series Season 4 for $3 :hot::hot::hot:


Finally, I can verify that the Looney Tunes Golden Collection 1-5 boxset is $10 and out there. I saw it behind the register being held for an employee :bomb:

[Animal7390]

i hope my big lots get these in soon.

[Nathan_Sama]

I went to the local BL and found these:
Animaniacs Vol.1
Smallville S7 blu-ray
Pinky and the Brain Vol.1
Assorted Dallas, Nip Tuck, and The West Wing
Super Friends Vol. 2
Luckly I only saw 3 "Joey"s

When I get more money (who knows when) I could pick up some of these for some CAGs

I'm looking for Animaniacs Vol. 3.

I hope I find Looney Tunes at the Fayetteville BL.

[mistertateam]

Can anyone confirm which seasons of Tales from the Crypt are out on the shelves?

My car is in the shop right now and I'd hate to waste a friend's gas if it's something I got.

At any rate, guess I should make the trip and report back with what my BL has here.

I saw season 3 and 5 at multiple locations

[mistertateam]

I saw season 3 and 5 at multiple locations


TY sir. I'll take a look and keep an eye out for some of the better stuff..i.e. NOT Joey S1.

[downwardspiral]

The only thing I saw at my Big Lots that was different than normal was Season 1 of Knots Landing and Season 1 of War at Home. My ma went ape shit for the Knots Landing and for 6 bucks the War at Home will get you a few cheap laughs.

[Animal7390]

i want war at home. anything you were looking for but couldnt find?

[bornrunnin31]

As if I didn't spend enough time running around this past week to various Big Lots, now I have to do it again to find these new sets.

Thanks for the new info everyone who posted!

[dg7md]

Looks like I'm hitting a few new spots tomorrow! I really want some of those Hanna Barbera sets.

[Nathan_Sama]

My dad bought a $6 Civil War doc.
You know the smell of a new DVD/Game? The box for that doc. smelt like gunpowder O_O

[Animal7390]

fyi, tiv at fye have dropped on pretty much all the big sets. if anyone picked any up for trade in.

[mrrepoman]

Picked up the following for $3 each:

Batman: TAS V1 with Superman: TAS V1


Is this THE Batman: TAS that aired on the WB from 1992 - 1995 w/ Kevin Conroy voicing Batman and Mark Hamill voicing the Joker?




If true I will hit up all the Big Lots in a 40 mile radius.

[emg28]

Damn, I just noticed this thread. I'll see what I can find later on today/Sunday.

*crosses fingers*

[Friend of Sonic]

I'm going to make a massive update to the OP tomorrow. It needs it. For now, I picked up Tales of the Crypt 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (to answer someoneone's questions which have been seen for sale, I just can't find #7, but that could just be me)

Also, sorry if these are repeats, but from what I haven't seen posted I picked up:

Two pack of volume 1 of the Superman 90s cartoon and volume 1 of Batman: The Animated Series (incredible deal at 3.00)

The New Adventures of Lois and Clark 1, 2, 3, and 4 (don't ask me why I bought this, as I'm not quite sure why myself)

Some Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm show, complete series boxset, where they're all grown up. With Sally Struthers doing the voice of Pebbles. That screams absolute shit, but for 3.00 I figured I might as well buy every Hanna Barbera set I could.

Also grabbed the only Batman Beyond season 3 they had. Saw in a box that the clerk was unboxing (but abandoned when she needed to ring some customers up) She came back, and jokingly said, "You gonna wait for me to put that on the shelf?" I took this as a challenge to my Batman Beyond season 3 and knocked her out. I may have been hasty, but at least I was able to leave the store without having to pay for my sets.

The rest I got were sets already mentioned, IIRC. Also saw some Everwood season 1 which I already had (great show, which I recommend)

I'm hoping this store maintains stock until Sunday where I could rebuy the sets with the 20% off coupon (unless, will they for some reason let me bring in my receipt and return and rebuy? The 15 bucks would be worth it)

EDIT: Just went ahead and knocked out the update. As always, please post any new changes needed for the OP (not to make Gothicwalrus the OP's pet or anything, but I was really digging the blue text for the new additions to the OP)

[mistertateam]

For now, I picked up Tales of the Crypt 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (to answer someoneone's questions which have been seen for sale, I just can't find #7, but that could just be me)



Thanks Friend of Sonic! I'm going to take a trip out there after work because I definitely need to fill the gaps on my Crypt seasons. If I find a 7 it's all yours sir.

[crazedracerguy]

Yep... As I suspected, they're holding boxes in the back. The truck comes in Wednesday, but today I found:

The War At Home Season 1 ($3)
Flintstones Season 3 ($3)
Popeye 193x-193x ($3)

There was also a new group (I'm guessing from the same case) of $9 steel boxsets that had 90 classic movies, as well as some other sets - like suspense movies, horror (I think), etc. They were $9, as well, but varied from 50 to 70 movies or so in each case. Might be nice for some of you other collectors...

Guess I'll be making morning trips to BL for the forseeable future...

[Querjek]

Called my local Big Lots yesterday to ask if they had any new DVDs or when trucks came. They said a truck was coming later and that anything new should be out by 1 today.

I went there at 10 and saw two guys with a cart with two Looney Tunes sets and some other stuff.

There was one more Looney Tunes set on the shelf :D

I also got:
Flintstones season 2
Flintstones season 3
Popeye: 1933-1938
Tracy Takes On season 1
All for $3 each.

Oh, also picked up the Stanley Kubrick boxset ($10; there were plenty) and saw the deluxe Roots set but passed on it.

[downwardspiral]

Saw a bunch of Flinstones series (2,3,4 for sure), Batman AS Series 3, Wacky Races, the Warner Bros Academy Awards winners set, and some Tales From the Crypt, but pretty much the same stuff as normal (Tracy takes On, Joey, War at Home, OC Season 2, Smallville(non blu ray), Dallas, Dukes of Hazard, Pinky and The Brain).

Ended up picking up :

Tales from the Crypt Volume 4
Tales from the Crypt Volume 5
The WB AA set
Batman Animated Volume 3

Im about to go and check a few more because im looking for Friends series for my cousins bday tonight. If I see anything out of the norm Ill report it here.

[Gothic Walrus]

Veronica Mars and Mission Hill? Lucky bastards.

I can't complain about my finds, but still...

Is this THE Batman: TAS that aired on the WB from 1992 - 1995 w/ Kevin Conroy voicing Batman and Mark Hamill voicing the Joker?

Yes. :D

It's a fantastic show. I would've jumped on the Big Lots sets, but I got the complete series box set as a birthday present for myself back in November.

[KingofOldSchool]

Ugh I saw these posts of new stuff being stocked, so I made trip out there and they had less than what they had before.

All they had were Joey, OC, Dallas, Night Court, Dukes of Hazzard, the NBA History of the Lakers, and Pinky & The Brain.

[erehwon]

I picked up today:

Appleseed ExMachina 2 disc Steelcase
Batman the Animated Series and Superman volume 1 bundle (only one)
IMAX Movie Collection


I really should head out to see if the New Haven Big Lots has any different sets. I would really like to find the Samuri Jack and Blade sets.

[doublej33]

Picked up Batman Beyond season 2, dont think anyone mentioned this season yet...hopefully i'll run into the Superman TAS and Batman TAS

[Friend of Sonic]

Picked up Batman Beyond season 2, dont think anyone mentioned this season yet...hopefully i'll run into the Superman TAS and Batman TAS
Cool! Glad to know it's out there... thank you. I have season 1, and thanks to the sale, 3.

[soonersfan60]

Anyone know how many Dukes of Hazzard seasons they have? I got 5 & 6, but I saw someone mention 4. Didn't see that, but was also wondering in 1-3 are available (or 7 for that matter).

What about Dallas? Didn't see any around here.

[Trikip]

If anyone can't find the new Hanna Barbera sets (like me) it's because they technically aren't supposed to be sold until 7/26 because they are in the 7/26 Big Lots ad. That's what people on the DVD Talk Forum are saying.

[FlamedLiquid]

I too am interested in that Looney Tunes 5 pack. I can pick up stuff for trade..or pay somehow. Please PM me if someone can pick me up one.

[Friend of Sonic]

Same here. I'm hoping the set isn't a rare find. I would have traded the fact I found the complete Lois and Clark series for finding that (but who wouldn't?)

[Kerig]

Went to Big Lots today, didn't even know about the new releases.

Picked up: War At Home $3 (they have a stack of them)
Saw: Popeye & Flintstones S3 (they had a full case, 10+ copies of each)

Oh, and umm...guys...is this the Looney Tunes collection everyone is talking about?
http://www.wherehouse.com/movies/sell-product-detail.jsp?id=2801499

With the brownbag 20% sale (ends 8/18ish), if you were to sell it to FYE...well...I'll let you do the math...

There's the Golden Collection (20 Discs) and the Spotlight Collection (10 discs). If it's really the Golden Collection, if you went with credit (+45%) you could get a 360 from 2 sets, $20. Holy Grail, indeed.

[georox]

Roots/Flintstones Season 2 here, that's it.

[MrDubbs]

Picked up Looney Tunes Movie Collection, War At Home,
I also got SuperBowl Set I-XL for 10 bucks (was th isa good deal?) it was in some big long leather like case, i think it has a book with it too of some kind

[Animal7390]

$10 for:
Roots - The Complete Collection (Roots and Roots: The Next Generation together in a very nice package that's currently $80 on Amazon. If you're interested, this set might be one of the best deals in the sale.)


i hate to be a party ppoper but making it easier to the lurkers makes this deal dead to anyone who doesnt get there the day the discs go out. make them work for it.

at one point i saw all seasons of dukes and 1-9 of dallas. i have a couple spare sets if you ar looking for certain ones.

once again make people work for it. i know you are helpful, and grateful at times but i refer you to above. it really is getting ridiculous with these sets.

[zman73]

Geez Kerig... All you talk about is selling off everything u find to FYE... Some of us want the Looney Tunes collection for ourselves...

Did pick up Flintstones 1-5 today, the Popeye set, wacky races, Pebbles and BamBam, huckleberry hound, and a couple more... No sign of any big sets at the three I checked

[Kirin Lemon]

Sigh. I missed the Looney Tunes Golden Collection by one day, apparently.

[Kerig]

Geez Kerig... All you talk about is selling off everything u find to FYE...

That's partly because I don't want to admit the fact that I bought Joey Season 1 for myself.

Kirin: Check back the morning of the 26th or the evening of the 25th. I'm sure at this point many BL's are holding stock in the back after seeing what happened with the $6 deals. That's how I found my copy of Thundercats S1V1 (6D) & Animaniacs.

[ryoga79]

holy FRAK! Where the hell did all these $3 sets come from??? My Biglots hasn't had ANY of these yet (I was just there on Friday morning and talked to the girl about them and she had no clue). I can't wait to get some of these. Since they get trucks on Monday, I'll be there Tuesday at 9am with bells on. ^_^

[Gothic Walrus]

holy FRAK! Where the hell did all these $3 sets come from???

That's actually a good question.

I've seen a pretty big media influx into clearance outlets lately - Big Lots got all of these DVDs, and a lot of the Dollar Tree stores around me got huge shipments of music from artists I actually recognized (James Blunt's first album, Paris Hilton...I didn't say they were good).

Part of me wonders if this is at all connected to Circuit City going under. It's all older stock, but there's a lot of it both quantity and variety wise, and it's hitting the shelves at the same time.

[mikefavata]

Went to,

Big Lots #555 (http://www.biglots.com/store_locator.aspx#)
2236 South Federal Highway
Stuart, FL 34994
(772) 223-0939

they had alot of Friends/OC/Roots/Dukes of Hazzard/Friends/Dallas/etc.

All I really wanted was Blade the series & Mission Hill but they didn't have either, one of the employees let me dig around the stock area and they had a bunch of boxes of stuff.

Ended up getting Tales from the Crypt season 1 through 5 from the stock room. Still no Blade or Mission Hill :cry:.

The DVD section up front is a disaster area but it was nice of them to let me dig through the back.

[Animal7390]

i personally will be buying extra sets when available, not to hoard, but for people who can not find them. my closest ones are usually pretty good about getting stock in. i cant wait. ive wanted the looney tunes sets for awhile and powerpuff is one of my favorite shows.

Batman vol. 1 Superman vol. 1 bundle

If you come around Orange County I'll bite you!

Anyways I went today and all the stores around have been gutted. The Santa Ana, CA BL seemed to have restock to accomodate the sale they have going on today but looks like I was a little late--because there was a guy carrying a stack of the Hanna Barbara sets and all I was left with was more Joeys, Duke of Hazards, and more useless crap that no one will bother with. I managed to find The Drew Carey Show Season 1, so it wasn't a total loss.

[bigdaddy]

I saw Joey, West Wing Season 2, Night Court, Ask your Father cartoon series I never heard of, The OC season 2 and Pinky and the Brain and Animaniacs volume 2. The last two are what I bought.

Shit! I've been going there daily except for today! Hoarding bastards!

[bornrunnin31]

All three I went to today were advertising the 20% off thing as an event, so that made finding good stuff even harder. One store even had all the newly stocked dvd sets on a rack right next to the door so it was picked clean. Saw one of the Looney Tunes collection but it was behind the counter being held for an employee :bomb:

So anyone in the Taylor, MI area unless you're looking for The War at Home, you aren't gonna find jack.

[Animal7390]

just got back from a store that claimed nothing new had been put out. they were wrong. they had 2 of these out but someone was nice enough to go out back and go through the open box and come back with the rest. i was the first one to find these. i have a few spare of the flintstones and tracey takes on.

tracey takes on s1
flintsones s3, 4, 5, 6
perils of penelope pitstop
wacky races
dasterdly and mutley
top cat

all with the 20% off coupon.

am i the only one who thought NIght court was not worth 6 i think it only had like 10 eps on it.

same with ask your father... if it was 3 i would of grabbed it but not for 6

[Querjek]

same with ask your father... if it was 3 i would of grabbed it but not for 6
I paid $18 for it on Amazon like 2 months ago... ugh. I thought that was decent enough though, for 20-something episodes of a decently-written cartoon very telling of its time.

Oh, and--hit up 3 Big Lots today.

1 had nothing new.

1 had the War at Home season 1.

1 had the War at Home season 1 and that Murdoch show.

I'm going back in a few days in search of Top Cat and Flintstones 4-6...

[JJSP]

You two, GTFO of Orange County. ;)

[theblizzman]

I went today. Saw a cart full of box sets....thought it was an employee putting them out. No it was a person who filled up their entire cart with almost every single box set in the store. Was able to find Superfriends S1 and NipTuck BD Season 4 (the hoarders must have been tired from lifting all of the other box set into their cart).

[docvinh]

Bleh, checked the Lafayette IN and it was pretty much bare compared to the previous week, someone came and bought up everything.

[Watchman]

Well, I went during the sale tonight and as far as box sets were concerned, I found jack spit. The NoHollywood store had numerous copies of one season each of West Wing, Joey, The OC ("Don't call it that"), the god-awful season 5 of Dukes of Hazzard (with the replacement cousins), and the shortened sixth season. Night Court Season 1 was the only thing I picked up and I got that as a gift for someone. Not a single animated series in the lot.

On the plus side, I found a lone copy of Mister Roberts (with Jack Lemmon commentary!), A Mighty Wind and Tremors 3 for $3 apiece. Oh, and a kitchen towel for a buck. But they don't sell coasters! WTF?!

You looked RIGHT AT THEM!

[Friend of Sonic]

Has Animaniacs season 3 been reported? Would be awesome if that's something to keep an eye out for as well... I'd love to complete the show.

Animaniacs 3 HAS been reported... I got it last week... Went to a ton of BL yesterday... Had only scored Flintstones 6 (to complete my set... And Veronica Mars 2....
On one of my final stops hit a small jackpot and scored 1-5 of Tales from the crypt... And Johnny Quest season 1

[LinkinPrime]

Been checking out a local store about 3x's now...nothing good. Saw a Batman vs Dracula DVD Set with 2 small action figures for $3...and grabbed Loonatics S2...hoping to find S1 at another store today after work.

I hate you.

[zman73]

That's the only really rare item I've scored from the many many BLs I've scoured in the last week. The TFTC seasons came near the end of the day yesterday... Salvaged what was a very bad trip from Va to Al... Looks like hoarders got many of the sets... Almost makes me wish the really good ten dollar sets were priced a little higher to discourage resellers.... I'd pay a little more for that looney tunes set...

[KingofOldSchool]

Hit the jackpot today, got all of the Flintstones Seasons, plus Animaniacs Vol 2, and The Powerpuff Girls Complete Series (which is being used primarily for trade bait).

Although they didn't have the $10 Superbowl Set.

*sigh*

[manthing]

I'd pay a little more for that looney tunes set...

I'd pay $75 for that Loony Tunes Golden Collection set.

Makes me wonder how much BL paid for these sets and/or how much WB lost on the deal

[Demolition Man]

Makes me wonder how much BL paid for these sets and/or how much WB lost on the deal

I'd imagine BL paid very little for these boxsets. WB was probably going to lose a lot more money on them sitting in their warehouses not selling. Especially when it comes to some titles such as Joey that honestly was not bound to sell to begin with.

Heaven forbid they have the Super Bowl set, they only had ALL OF THE FLINTSTONES FOR $36!!! :bomb:

[Demolition Man]

By Super Bowl set is it the multi boxset ones that are I-IX and such? Or is it the more recent America's Game series?

[KingofOldSchool]

$36?

Try $21. ;)

[mbartholow]

Both Ebensburg PA & Monroeville PA had a few West Wing seasons & the Lakers box, but no other DC/Hanna Barbera goodness or Crypt sets. Monroveille had several Nick Jr titles if anyone needs them, got a Wonderpets for my little guy. I'd have definitely enjoyed the Batman Vs. Dracula pack, that's a great movie.

[KingofOldSchool]

By Super Bowl set is it the multi boxset ones that are I-IX and such? Or is it the more recent America's Game series?

I think it's America's Game series with 40 some odd discs if I'm reading right.

[MrDubbs]

I think it's America's Game series with 40 some odd discs if I'm reading right.

It's a long leather pouch like thing, a bit heavy actually.. it does have 40 Discs. It's The America's Game Series.. I picked the last one up at my big lots the other day

http://spln.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p4172652dt.jpg

[FlamedLiquid]

$36?

Try $21. ;)

try $18 you mean? 6 seasons..$3 a piece.

Anyways all I really want now are flintstones seasons 4 and 6 and the Looney Tunes big set. Though if I found other Hanna Barbara sets I'd bite as well.

[NCN]

I was able to pick up The Flintstones Season 1 set for $3. I was hoping for some Looney Tunes goodness, but this will definitely do!

Holy. SHIT. I really would love to get that for $10 or so myself. :drool:

Ooops for some reason I thought there were seven seasons...

[bigdaddy]

The Flintstone sets were $3?!?! FUCK!!!!

With the 20% coupon that's $14.40!!!!

[bigdaddy]

^ Depends where it is. i have been to 3 different stores, one closed a few years back and only had a problem with one store (oddly not the one that closed). i blame that for the location, it's in a slum city with slums working there.

[Gothic Walrus]

The Flintstone sets were $3?!?! FUCK!!!!

With the 20% coupon that's $14.40!!!!

Over the course of three days, the Big Lots nearest me had all six seasons of the Flintstones in stock.

Even without the coupon, $18 for the complete run of one of the (arguably) best cartoons we've ever seen isn't too shabby. :D

[DaDeuce]

When does biglots usually put new stuff out? Is it an "as they get it" process or is there a designated day like sunday?

[zman73]

All stores get truck deliveries different days of the week... It's best to call... From then it may take a day or two to get that stock out on the floor

[ryoga79]

edit: I see what happened. I edited out the wants and am just reporting what I got/left. None of what I got is for trade.

I have been told that MY store gets a truck on Monday.

Went today and scored the following:
Batman the Animated Series V2 x2 (one for me, one for bro) *last*
Batman the Animated Series V3 (me) *last*
Flintstones Vol 3 & 4 (me) *last v3*
Johnny Quest V 1 (me)
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Academy Awards Animation Collection x3 (me, bro, roomie)

I left the following:
Tales from the Crypt S2-6 (multiple copies)
Top Cat V1 (multiple copies)
Lois & Clark S1&3 (multiple copies)
Appleseed Ex-Machina steelbook (2 copies)
Adventures of Superman S2, S3/4 (multiple copies)

[beane316]

Well, I just went to my local Big Lots and they've apparently had several calls about the boxsets, so much in fact, that they are putting the sets in their conference room when they find them and not putting any of them out until sunday of the ad. My chances of getting a Powerpuff Girls set are officially slim to none :cry: I hate living near a flea market.

[slidecage]

are prices going UP..

saw flintstones at another big lots PRICED AT 10 PER SEASON ... They rung up at 10 per season as well

[DaDeuce]

I saw something similar at my local biglots, but it was with the Looney Tunes Golden Collection. Where as most people were reporting $10 for the entire collection, the only copies I saw in my area were solely Volume 6 (might have been Vol. 5) priced at $10. I was able to get the 40 disc set of America's game and the full roots set at this store, so I am wondering if stock is varying between stores and/or regions.and if they really are just slapping stickers on these suckers at the regional dist center and maybe some got missed or mislabeled? I don't think biglots identifies the dvds I think they just have a base price sticker (I.E. 8 Mile rings up as a $3 dvd, abd not "8 Mile - $3").

no thats normal. The Golden collection set includes Volumes 1 thru 5 and people have reported seeing Volume 6 for $10 alone.

Ok, my next question is, is does anybody think shipments vary by store or region? I have been to several biglots and haven't seen a single Looney tunes complete collection, any flintstones, batman and robin, etc. I'm fairly sure I didn't just "miss" them because I've been able to get copies of Pinky and the Brain, West Wing, roots, america's game, and scooby doo along with leaving large quantites of each title that have been there over a few day period.

I've been checking that store on and off the past week, barely any luck. Managed to find a Scooby Doo movie set and Pinky and the Brain S.2 on Sunday of all days, tho. (Went around 6:30, had I figured there'd be more, I would have gone right when the sale started, if not earlier....).

Will probably check again today or so....

[fairyland]

I have been to several biglots and haven't seen a single Looney tunes complete collection, any flintstones, batman and robin, etc. I'm fairly sure I didn't just "miss" them because I've been able to get copies of Pinky and the Brain, West Wing, roots, america's game, and scooby doo along with leaving large quantites of each title that have been there over a few day period.

I think there was two waves of DVDs that went out and each wave was supposed to last two weeks. We are currently in the 4th week of this "sale." Chances are that you have stores that historically don't do well with DVD sales and they will only get the first wave of DVDs in. If they cannot sell those rapidly, then it's not likely they'd get the second wave in to sell. I've heard no reports about a third wave of DVD sets yet, but those would be in next week's shipment if there are any and not this week's shipment.

The titles you had mentioned at your stores was from the first wave. The ones you want are from the second wave. I have three stores near me. Two of the stores obviously don't sell many DVDs and they only got only the first wave of DVD sets in for the flyer sale and I've never seen any of the second waved ones. The third store is high traffic and got both waves in. In fact, the guy who was putting them out last week that they had lots more in back, but they was instructed to hold them for next week, which pretty much told me that they won't be getting any new ones this week off of the truck and each wave was supposed to last this store two weeks.

So I honestly believe that if you had not seen anything from the second wave at any your stores by now you won't because your stores are not high traffic enough to get them in. I honestly don't think there will be a third wave of DVDs either, but I hope there will be.

[WeaponX2099]

Today I found shit. 2 HWV and 2 Big Lots. One had the some of the same stuff I saw in closer Big lots but the other was wiped pretty clean. I would have hit another BL if I didn't get lost.

[slidecage]

Appleglen flintstones 1 and 3 for 10 each

scooby doo movies or something for 10 or 6


Maplecrest is clean. )besides waR at home) ... I asked if they pulled them and they go no... Someone came in around 8pm and took every single dvd set they said they do NOT think they will restock for sundays sale : ( (though i will be there hopefully at 10am)

Yea, I was at the Maplecrest store yesterday. It was clean compared to how it was on Saturday. I'm checking back later this week. I did manage some good finds at the New Haven store on Sunday. I was just hoping I could find that Samurai Jack set that was mentioned.

You have to remember that these new dvd sets arent even supposed to be up for sale until Sunday. Some stores may not put out the $3 and $10 sets until than or closer to the time.

[Gothic Walrus]

Went back to the first store I hit today while running errands...and there was nothing. The endcap that had been full of DVDs was now full of lunchboxes, and the remnants (OC, West Wing, New Scooby Doo Movies) were moved to the regular rack of cheapass DVDs.

You have to remember that these new dvd sets arent even supposed to be up for sale until Sunday. Some stores may not put out the $3 and $10 sets until than or closer to the time.

If the stores have already put out the DVDs, do you think they'll restock? I'm guessing no, but who knows how many of the sets each store got? :-k

Of the Big Lots I've been to, three have already put out the Hanna Barbera and at least some of the $10 stuff (Roots is the one I keep seeing). There might not be any reason for me to check again come Sunday.

just gotta hope I guess. The store by me hasnt had any Hanna Barbera sets yet, yet it seems like they keep restocking the older sets. I keep finding different sets each time Ive been in there.

[cavie2002]

After about 2 weeks of going to countless big lots and dealing with the rude workers i finally found tales from the crypt 2-6, i also found appleseed in a steelbook with comic for 3 bucks. I am done with big lots for now.

[KingofOldSchool]

Went back again today, a lot has been picked through. I managed to grab a Popeye set and the Batman/Superman 2-pack.

[slidecage]

i keep this post updated on the appleglen store... (the jefferson store) since its about 2 blocks from my route...the maplecrest store is across town and the new haven store is just way too far to drive..


only things im looking for now is

powerpuff collection
Tales 1 2 4 and 6
and flintstones 4 5 6

i was sort of shocked everything was gone at maplecrest..... did you get your powerpuffs at maplecrest ??? man cant belive i missed them by one day : (

hopefully if nothing happens what i plan on doing

hitting up jefferson friday and saturday (to see if they restock anything) HEADS UP THOUGH THEY ARE CHARGING 10 per season for the FLINTSTONES and they are ringing up 10

might try to hit up maplecrest saturday if not saturday for sunday for sure as soon as they open...

i doubt i will even try new haven

[squishface]

I still haven't been able to find Thundercats s2 v2
the samurai jack set, is that just the movie or the cartoon collection.

I checked my big lots and only found a ton of dallas, roots and looney tunes sets.
They also have a few super friends left.

I picked up the powerpuff set at New Haven. They had a ton of stuff when I went there on Sunday. I'm not sure if I'll head back there or not. It's a little far for me, but it's closer to me than the jefferson one. There's the jefferson, maplecrest, and new haven big lots, but have you checked out the other one? I don't think I've ever been to that fourth one.

the samurai Jack set is the first 3 seasons of the show (it's only missing season 4 to be complete series)

[XymerFF]

I just went to the West Olympia store and they had Flintstones V3, War at Home, Josie and the Pussycats, Dasturdly and Mutly, Tracy Takes On V1 and the Tom and Jerry 2 packs. They also had one copy of Appleseed Ex Machina, but I bought it up. Oh and if anyone is still looking for The NFL Hall of Fame Dvd, they still had a few copies left over.

no i never been in the southgate biglots...

its just too bad the jeffereson moved (used to be on goshen road --- right almost in my back yard LOL)

i can hit up jefferson since its right on my job route almost (and its right next to mcvans so i can hit both at once )

maplecrest maybe once or twice month

new haven i probally have not been out there for 2 to 3 years... i forgot all about the new haven on sunday and just remember it monday night... Was thinking about going out there tuesday but though everything would been wiped clean by then.

since the only things im looking for are now

Tales from cyrpt 1 2 4 6
flintstones 4 to end
and powerpuff

i doubt i would go out to new haven sunday (though i might ---- depends on how well maplecrest restocks, but i think everything good is long gone and there wont be any restocks this weekend

[zman73]

Pretty funny stuff... Looking at the trade in values on wherehouse.com... Many o these sets are only getting $.05 now... Hopefully it will deter alot of the people here and other places that ONLY seemed concerned with flipping these sets and giving those who just want to buy them a chance

my quest to find the looney tunes set continues... Also on the lookout for the last two tales from the crypt seasons, yogi bear, roots complete, and the super bowl set

[downwardspiral]

Im glad that the TIV of these sets are going down. I am getting these sets for myself and dont want hoarders grabbing loads of these anymore.


Im still searching for:

Tales from the crypt 1,2,3,6,7
Super Bowl Set
History of Rock and Roll
Powerpuff Girls
Thundercats - 6 Discs

[Ugamer_X]

I skimmed through the last few pages and was wondering if anyone has found season 1 of Veronica Mars? I picked up season 2 and that seems to be the only one everyone else has gotten.

[force_assassin]

Spotted and snagged collection one of the Animated Superman Series. Oddly enough it was priced at $3. Still on the lookout for the Powerpuff Girls complete collection.

On a side note, I saw all of Book One and Book Two Avatar the Last Airbender individual dvds. $4 bucks each. Not a bad deal at all since a complete book ranges from $40-$50, so those that are interested might want to keep an eye open.

[Gothic Walrus]

Spotted and snagged collection one of the Animated Superman Series.

By itself? That's odd...I've only seen the two-pack with the first season of Batman so far (and have only seen that once).

[FlamedLiquid]

Checked out my local Big Lots again, and still not a single Hanna Barbara set. The only $3 set Ive seen there is The war At Home...so either my store got cleaned out very quick one day or they're waiting till Sunday to put them out.

I'll go back once more come Sunday.

You would think all stores would have a new shipment for Sunday, otherwise they are false advertising.

[elessar123]

Went back to Big Lots today to pick up something for another CAGer. One store put everything they had out since yesterday. Some of the new stuff I saw were Batman V2, Batman Beyond V2, Johnny Quest, and Birdman and the Galaxy Trio complete series and Huckleberry Hound complete series, which aren't listed on the first page, for $3 each.

[Veronica Mars]

The redwood city store is cleaned out. I've been going a couple of times, and nothing new is put out. I'm also looking for Power puff girls :/

[EnronLackey]

Sup Houston area CAGs! Got a report for you for these DVD boxsets:

Big Lots: 45 N Hwy / Tidwell Exit .. they have an end cap filled with box set but mostly football, basketball dvds .. Flintstones, Top Cat, Josie & Pussycats, and Scooby Doo movies but not many .. OC, Joey, West Wing, and Tales of the Crypt

Big Lots: Shepard Dr (close by I-10) .. football (Cowboy's DVDs picked that one up) and basketball dvds .. West Wing, OC, and Joey (groan)

Big Lots - Kirby Dr (Next to Reliant Stadium) Nothing but WW2, Korea, and Vietnam DVD sets .. but I did notice IMAX's NASCAR dvds .. if you want to trade for it my fellow redneck CAGs .. let me know so I can go back and pick it up .. Im damn sure they wont get sold anytime soon due the store being in the ghetto heh ^_^

Just went to look for Samurai Jack and Appleseed .. good luck out there!

[slidecage]

wonder what are the odds of biglots putting out new stuff this week if they Crammed 3.00 single dvds everywhere were the box sets used to sit.. on all 4 sides of the display are now 100s of 3.00 single dvds (not even room to put new stuff out)

I would go back SATURDAY.... I asked if they pulled the items at one big lots and they acted like they had no clue what i was talking about... I then asked if they have the items LISTED in the sunday ad I would be able to get them Sunday..

worker said no... ALL sunday ad items go out onto the floor LATE friday night / Saturday

wonder what are the odds of biglots putting out new stuff this week if they Crammed 3.00 single dvds everywhere were the box sets used to sit.. on all 4 sides of the display are now 100s of 3.00 single dvds (not even room to put new stuff out)

lol. My Big Lots is the same way. Craploads of 3.00 movies. Like 3 4 ways of them.

[maximus101]

Sup Houston area CAGs! Got a report for you for these DVD boxsets:

Big Lots: 45 N Hwy / Tidwell Exit .. they have an end cap filled with box set but mostly football, basketball dvds .. Flintstones, Top Cat, Josie & Pussycats, and Scooby Doo movies but not many .. OC, Joey, West Wing, and Tales of the Crypt

Big Lots: Shepard Dr (close by I-10) .. football (Cowboy's DVDs picked that one up) and basketball dvds .. West Wing, OC, and Joey (groan)

Big Lots - Kirby Dr (Next to Reliant Stadium) Nothing but WW2, Korea, and Vietnam DVD sets .. but I did notice IMAX's NASCAR dvds .. if you want to trade for it my fellow redneck CAGs .. let me know so I can go back and pick it up .. Im damn sure they wont get sold anytime soon due the store being in the ghetto heh ^_^

Just went to look for Samurai Jack and Appleseed .. good luck out there!

Good to see a fellow H-Town CAG in here man!

Just to save you the time, the Sugar Land and Westheimer ones didn't have jack. If you're looking for the Popeye Volume 1 set, the Westheimer store has about 6 of those. Thanks for the heads up about the one on 45. I'm probably going to hit up over there after work for the HB sets.

[slowdive21]

Here is the haul.

Just in case some of you have not seen these sets yet...and to brag just a little!

I am not sure if anyone has reported space ghost yet.

[JediJames2]

Went to my local Big Lots today, picked up some of the Flintstones, other HB cartoons, and a Thundercats s2v2 six disk set, all for trade (made a post over in the Big Lots trade thread, PM me with any offers). Also picked up Blade: The Series for myself. Never seen it before, been hearing mixed things about it. Anybody here watched in before/was it any good?

[mbartholow]

Stopped at Indiana PA Big Lots tonight & found:

Appleseed Steelbook
Popeye the Sailor 1933-38 Vol 1 (this one (http://www.amazon.com/Popeye-Sailor-1933-1938-Vol-1/dp/B000P296AS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1248312935&sr=8-2))
Pinky & Brain Vol 2 for a buddy
Dave Chappelle - Killin' Em Softly for my brother

They had one Superfriends complete series DVD, lots of West Wing, OC, Joey & other stuff I assume no one would want. No Crypt dvds though, that's what I was after.

[elessar123]

BTW, the $10 pack of Looney Tunes movies is $11.99 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Looney-Tunes-Collection-Road-Runner-Rabbit/dp/B000ADS62Q).

[poopdogjr]

I Grabbed myself a copy of Animaniacs (V2) and Pinky & The Brain (V2) and There Will Be Blood. Most of the movie stock at the Big Lots I went to was gone when I checked again today. I did see some new stuff like Popeye, and the Flinstone seasons. I am worried that I may have missed out on Powerpuff Girls & Samurai Jack when they re-stocked. I might try again on Friday.

[Vampyreonline]

Guess I am going to have hit up BIG LOTS.. THANKS OP!

[zman73]

This makes me wish for the time when very few people cared about DVDs at BL...I got hooked over a year ago with cheap hBO sets and movies, sales like this bring out all the lurkers and newbs on some of the other forums... I'm hopeful I can get the rest of my most wanted sets from
this sale, I'd like to even FIND some of the $10 sets as I've came up dry at every location I've checked, and there have been alot.
We are seeing the same type of hoarding and mass reselling that we did with the BB $10 game sale... I do resell from time to time but never in sales as big and publicized as these. Everything in this sale I actually want for my collection.

[force_assassin]

By itself? That's odd...I've only seen the two-pack with the first season of Batman so far (and have only seen that once).

Yup by itself. I thought it was odd as well, but being priced at $3 bucks it was a steal.

[hellboypi]

Also picked up Blade: The Series for myself. Never seen it before, been hearing mixed things about it. Anybody here watched in before/was it any good?

I liked it. The rating were great for Spike too, but they didn't continue with a second season.
The actor who played Blade was a little weak but the secondary characters and mythology they were setting up was interesting.
Also, you can't go wrong with Jill Wagner...:drool:

[Animal7390]

i really wish that berzerker didnt bring the movies into the fye trade thread in the game forum. that opened it up to a slew of people who wouldnt normally have paid any attention.

[Japakneez]

i wouldn't blame him. BL doesn't get mentioned until several pages in . The problem is that its on slickdeals with a thread view of 51,000

[Ye0ldmario]

Finally saw:

Animaniacs Volume 2 x2
Pinky and the brain Volume 1 x2
Joey seasons 1-2
Dukes of Hazzard (tons of them)

I want those crypt sets!!!! the whole fucking show for 3 per season.......that's an amazing deal

[specter316]

Does anyone know of any Big Lots stores in Northern NJ that actually have these sets. I can't seem to find any.

[bballplaya210]

Stopped by my Big Lots while I was waiting for my phone to get updated at the Verizon store. They had a ton of Flintstones, Looney Tunes, and War at Home. I also saw some hoarder buy probably over 100 dvds while I was there. I picked up the Applesees Ex Machina steelbook and War at Home. This was the Polaris store in Ohio if anyone is interested.

[slidecage]

Fort wayne update..

NOTHING at maplecrest still


APPLEglen store Restocked last night/ today...

Picked up

tales season 4 (only copy)
Powerpuff collection (grabbed last 2 ---- one was making a noise when you shook the box so i grabbed anotehr set to make sure the first set wasnt broken)

flintstones vol 4 and 5 (tons left)

superman lois and clark season 1 2 and 4 (tons left)

they got a butt load of crap of flintstones and top cats

This happened to a store I went to yesterday. Picked up 1 each of the Hanna Barbera Classics and there were TONS of them still. I went back at noon today and EVERYTHING, I literally mean EVERYTHING, was gone. Asked if they had just moved them or something and they told me someone bought every single $3 boxset they had. Doesn't really make much sense though when you look at what a lot of them go for on Amazon. You are not making very much of most of these things.

[MetalJ]

Well I've been a lurker for a long time and finally decided to join the discussion so that I could hopefully trade for some of the sets I want. Unfortunately I didn't even realize you had to be a member for 30 days. Man I feel like an idiot now.

i was thinking of grabbing some of the superman 50s dvds to see if people wanted them here but after you figure in shipping i doubt many would pay 7 or 8 (guessing they would cost around 3 to 4 to ship)

dont really see why people would grab more then 2 tops of each set...... Yes games i can see people hoarding cause it cost what 2 bucks to ship a game... Its got to cost a pretty penny to ship these box sets..

I think someone shipped me joey off ebay and it was almost 4 (funny thing i only paid 3.85 for it shipped) feel sorry for them

[BingoBrown]

[spikyhunter3]

i got thundercats season one vol 2 but when i got home i realised it was only discs 9-10 haha

BTW when do stores usually restock the dvds?

[Interstella 5555]

Can anyone report anything from Orange County?

[gravel]

I had a good haul today:
Flintstones 2,3,4,5
Wacky Races
Top Cat
Super Friends Vol 1
Appleseed Ex Machina (2-Disc Steelbook)
Birdman & the Galaxy Trio
Dastardly & Muttley in their Flying Machines
The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show

Sadly, no Powerpuff Girls complete series for the gf. If anyone manages an extra one and wants to trade/sell, pm me.

They also had:
Veronica Mars S2
Lois & Clark 1,2,3,4
Popeye classic shorts
War at Home S1
Superman (1950's, not sure which season)
And some others.

[slidecage]

Wait, you actually paid for Joey?!?! ;)

i liked JOEY... it wasnt a bad show.... and for less then 4 bucks for the set couldnt pass it up

[Querjek]

Found these between 5 Big Lots in the last couple of days:

Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines complete series
Flintstones seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Pebbles and Bam-Bam show complete series
Popeye the Sailor 1933-1938 shorts collection
Space Ghost and Dino Boy complete series
Top Cat complete series
Wacky Races complete series
War at Home season 1

I think I've gotten everything I'd be interested in... maybe :)

[Veronica Mars]

Nothing , Again, At the Redwood City Store.

yeah its not the true S1V2 you usually see advertised. I skipped on it, pretty disappointing. Kinda overpriced at $6.

[spikyhunter3]

theres a lot of Big Lots selling them like this..so good luck.

My guess is the Big Lots stores that are selling them like this didnt get the outer casing for these and so is selling them as 2 disc sets.

[Japakneez]

Correct. I noticed a few people in here looking for Biglots Thundercat DVDs. Just to clarify, Season 1 Volume 2 is actually a six disc box set that consists of the following....

Disc 7 & 8
Disc 9 & 10 (This is the only one Big Lots is selling from the S1V2 set)
Disc 11 & 12


I forgot which discs the S1V1 had...It didn't even matter to me. All the stuff that is being thrown on ebay for cheap may also be misrepresented so beware. Best to buy it retail.

[Demolition Man]

Just got next week's Big Lots ad in my e-mail box as they put it online Thursday. Shows $3 boxsets on sale starting Sunday. Image below is taken directly from the website.

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3081/biglotsdvdad.jpg

Looks to be the ones that have been reported to be $3 but wasn't Traci Takes On supposed to be $6? Otherwise this might explain why some stores haven't put any $3 titles out since they are holding them for the Sunday ad.

Also off topic but there's a $499 laptop in the ad. The model is Gateway M-1631u. The ad also has a strong emphasis on the free Windows 7 upgrade as well.

My Big Lots had a ton of Traci Takes On S1 for $3 each today. It was S2 that I saw before for $6.

[dg7md]

Found a rogue Flintstones S3, without any plastic or anything as reported before. Discs were mint and all was right, so for 3 bucks I got it anyway.

[BingoBrown]

Disc 7 & 8
Disc 9 & 10 (This is the only one Big Lots is selling from the S1V2 set)
Disc 11 & 12


They're also selling the Disc 11 & 12 in an individual case as well. I know, I bought it, then got it home and realized it wasn't the full 6 disc set of S1V2. Ugh. Totally overpriced @ $6, I'm returning it.

[soonersfan60]

BTW when do stores usually restock the dvds?

When the hoarders return them after realizing there's no money to be made on them because the market is flooded...

Same here, except mine was a Flintstones S2. I checked the discs before I purchased, and it all looked legit, so I was okay throwing $3 down for it.

[Link927]

Found various Flintstones and Pinky and the Brain, thought it was a lost, then I noticed a shopping cart full of dvds. Picked up Everwood, Animaniacs 1, and War at Home 1. Saw other various titles such as Superman, Tracy Takes On, OC, and a bunch of Scooby Doo. Will be posting in trade thread. Also gonna check out a Big Lots A bit further out. Hopefully I can find Drew Carry, Veronica Mars, and hopefully Smallville.

Well I cant return my disc 9&10 i already opened it then realised it was the individual dvd....but it is cheaper as it would cost 18$+tax from BL and from amazon its 26$

[Link927]

They were opened at my Big Lots as well, no clue why but I wasnt picking them up. It did cause some box wear since my Big Lots put everything in a giant bin.

I had an awesome haul yesterday at biglots in Lawton, Ok. I got Lois and Clark season 1-4, Flintstones 1-5, Oc 1,2. Tale From the Crypt 1-5. Found the NFL set for 10 dollars really nice. Didnt have any copies of Joey or Smallville.

ARRRGH!!! I want that NFL set sooo bad.

If anyone finds it and wants to work a trade for a powerpuff set + something else, let me know. I'd give up PPG for the NFL set...

My BL had a truck come in Wednesday that had NO dvds at all on it... and they are not supposed to get their Friday truck...

Sucks. :(

[Kerig]

Didnt have any copies of Joey or Smallville.

Aww, that's a real shame, kid. Especially considering the fact that you PM'd me asking to buy Joey for you, then stopped responding to PMs with the impression of not having a way to pay for it, so I returned your copy back to my store...classic case of Karma, I suppose.

i bet a lot of people are going to be pissed come sunday when they go to big lots and nothing is there , since most stores have already put out their stock on thursday -saturday

[crazedracerguy]

Just checked my BL - which "didn't get any on the truck" on Wednesday, only to find a brand new group of $3 DVDs...

The case looked to include:

Tales From the Crypt S2,3
Lois and Clark S1,3
Popeye 1st set
Tracey Takes on S1
Joey S1

Wierd that there seems to be $6 sets and $3 sets mixed in these cases. Evidently, I was the forst to hit these this morning, since the lady that works every morning said "Did we get more in???"

I figure I have an hour before everyone cleans them out... So if anyone has a spare America's Game Set and needs some of these sets, let me know so I can pick them up to set up a trade.

[spikyhunter3]

Yep, it's like that at mine as well.. just a big ass bin with tons of stuff in it... kindda fun to dig through and see what you get though!

not fun when you dig through and find nothing haha

[gorgo]

That Popeye set is fantastic. Paid $30 for it last summer at Best Buy, and don't regret it, but seeing a stack of em for $3 at my local Big Lots was a shock! Did score Jonny Quest Season 1 for $3, which is the one I wanted the most to find, besides the Justice League S1 Blu-ray... still looking for that :)

[Animal7390]

the justice league season 1 on blu ray was reported?

[erehwon]

I checked my closest big lots and they hadn't put anything new out. I think I'll try going back tomorrow.

The 2-disc sets that my BL sold had a silver and red felt (the material, not touched by an old lady) outer slipcase cover. Are other BLs just selling the DVDs without that?

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31bEy2QHjlL._SL160_AA115_.jpg

As far as the legality of it, you have to remember we're dealing with Big Lots here, they get everyone else's junk. It's not a true retail store in the classic sense, which also explains why most stores are reluctant at best to price-match anything in a BL ad.

I'm wondering if maybe some stores got opened complete series sets with all 6 seasons inside. If thats the case..could be why.

That'd make some sense, but when I got my Flintstones sets the only ones I saw without plastic were Season Five. And for what it's worth, the complete series box Amazon sells (http://www.amazon.com/Flintstones-Complete-Alan-Reed/dp/B001CC7POE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1248471925&sr=8-2) doesn't have the same packaging. It is possible that there's another set out there with everything just bundled together, though.

The Amazon set is pretty, but I paid less than a fifth of their asking price for the six seasons. Thank you, Big Lots! :D

[Link927]

Wow, in one day, the dvd box set stock at my local Big Lots has shrunk by nearly 2/3rds. I'm pretty sure it was a hoarder, or possibly a group of hoarders, the dozen or so War at Homes are all gone, the dozen of Popeyes, only about 10 Flintstones out of about 40 are still around. The half dozen Animaniacs are all gone too, as well as the few Superman cartoons. The only things left are a few live action Superman, Lois and Clark, S2/S3 Flintstones, Tracy, etc. Sigh, I should have picked up S2 Animaniacs when I had a chance.

[FlamedLiquid]

Well just went back to my local Big Lots again and still no $3 sets..aside from Tracy Takes On. I asked up front if they had any and they said they are in the back and to keep checking back to see if they have them on the floor. There is room for them, so I'm hoping they have them out tomorrow or Sunday.

I did pick up God, the Devil, and Bob for $3 though.

[mbartholow]

Mine came with, although I didn't even notice the sticker until I'd paid and walked out the door.



I just opened mine to enjoy tonight and it contains a free comic where the leaflet would be. No sticker on package. Guess they all have them? Neato.

I just checked out my local Big Lots in Wood Dale, IL... pretty much just Dallas and a Joey there.

Anyway, would anyone be willing to ship a Babylon 5 Movies to me if they have it at a Big Lots near them? If so, just let me know, and we can work out a fair price.

Just a quick POLL question... how commmon is the thunercats 6 dvd sets.. I dont know if it would be worth spending around 10 bucks in gas tomorrow hitting 3 big lots hoping to find them..

now one of them has the single discs only (im guessing they got the boxsets but ripped them open for some reason)

same with flintstones SEASON 6.... Those are the only 2 things im looking for since i blew 60 on 20 box sets already

(probally end up taking at least 4 of them back) Rest of them are birthday gifts to myself since my BD is weds : )



WOOO I just earned 22 cents on ebay bucks LOL what to spend my 22 cents on

I don't remember seeing any of them there. Granted I was looking for a larger-ish box, but I believe I singled out almost all of the box sets they had there, and there wasn't much.

It's really a pain to search the DVDs there as well :bomb:

[elessar123]

Think some hoarder in town got to everything. Went to 6 stores, and the only store to have anything decent was the one that just put stuff out this morning. At least two stores got shipments today, so I'll try one more time tomorrow.

[Demolition Man]

It's really a pain to search the DVDs there as well :bomb:

That to me is one of the biggest problems with Big Lots in general. They seem to with some product just throw it up wherever they feel like it. Granted I know the average employee at the store is making minimum wage (or barely above it) but geez shopping there can be a test of patience and will sometimes.

[Interstella 5555]

I went to my local BL a few hours ago and it was gutted. I noticed there was a whole section on the wall that was completely empty. I asked a BL employee if they restocked on DVDs, she said they did this morning. So it seems a hoarder came and bought them all out. Bummer.

[EnronLackey]

Can anyone put up a pic of the 6 disk set of ThunderCats plz? A link would be great as well. ^_^

OK I finally had some luck with the local big lots.....I picked up:

Samurai Jack (seasons 1-3) x 3
Animaniacs vol1 x2
Popeye v1 x1
And some other misc hanna barbera sets.

I am not reselling these and was wondering if anyone looking for Animaniacs v1 or Samurai Jack would like to trade for some items I'm looking for and cannot find....I'm primarily looking for Animaniacs vol. 2 or 3, Pinky and the Brain v3 (if it exists), and maybe some flinstones set. I'm going to try again tomorrow to see what I can find....pm me if interested. Thanks for the heads up on these guys. If I can't find traders, I'd probably just return them within the return period for others to have a chance.

I went to my local BL a few hours ago and it was gutted. I noticed there was a whole section on the wall that was completely empty. I asked a BL employee if they restocked on DVDs, she said they did this morning. So it seems a hoarder came and bought them all out. Bummer.

Which location is this at?

I myself dropped by Rowland Heights today and saw a ton of Lois and Clark, George Reeves Superman, and various Hanna Barbera sets (Wacky Races is the only one that comes to mind).

At the Whittier location, I saw various Tales from the Crypt sets, Flintstones S3, and about 4 more copies of Popeye. I lucked out and found a lone copy of Veronica Mars S2 here too

Still searching for Samurai Jack, Powerpuff, and Looney Tunes 1-5 (but then again, who isn't?). If anyone has any info about any SoCal, post em up because info in that area's been relatively scarce.

Can anyone put up a pic of the 6 disk set of ThunderCats plz? A link would be great as well. ^_^

Most people who found a 6 disc set(like myself) found this set:

Someone has found the Season 1 Volume 2 set at Big Lots?

:-s

[FlamedLiquid]

went to scope my Big Lots out this morning..and they didnt put out jack. And the lady told me yesterday they had a crapload of the $3 sets in the back yesterday..so they must be waiting til tomorrow to put them out. Hopefully I find the majority of what I'm looking for tomorrow.

Only got like 4-5 hours of sleep...so i'm going back to bed.

[slidecage]

no reason to look in fort wayne.... Maplecrest put their stock out yesteday and it all went within a few hours... Jefferson put their stock out weds and most of its gone... Southgate said they did not get jack and new haven is just too far out to drive..

Only things i want is

Sam jack (good luck finding it)
and thundercats (again good luck)

not worth my gas and time driving out to new haven since i can get thundercats for around 9 per season on amazon (and probally drop more)

[Dreamcastguy]

Well fun times at the Big Lots yesterday.

A whole family was there going through the DVDs taking out every single one of the boxed sets. All the $3 boxed sets had been put out and were in their cart.

I struck up a conversation with the mother and found out that her daughter works there. She also claimed that she was just looking for gifts and not re-selling.

Right. Getting every single boxed set in the store. Like over 10 copies of each box set. Gifts. Right.

If you read my rant over in the PC Games at Big Lots I have noted that my Big Lots store DVD and game section always seems to be in disarray. I guess I know why.

I can't compete with AN ENTIRE FAMILY who seems to have nothing better to do than to buy every decent item Big Lots stocks. Not with the daughter working in the store telling her folks when stuff comes in.

The area I live in now sucks.

When did they put it out yesterday? I was there around noon and didn't see anything.

[slidecage]

When did they put it out yesterday? I was there around noon and didn't see anything.

dont know but there was a big empty space where it says Advertised 3.00 DVD SETS asked a worker and then a manager and both said they went out Friday and they were all sold out yesterday.

I knew i should of stopped over there around 5pm.

they did not have that big empty spot weds night so something had to be there ................................

like i said i got most of the stuff i wanted at the jeffereson store (as of yesterday they still had some flintstones vol 3 4 5 out there) and the superman 60s live action show , wacky racers and that was about it ..

didnt have time or gas to waste going to new haven.. (and expect everything gone there )


who knows they might be lying and waiting to put the stuff out tomorrow but i doubt it and dont really worth the time driving back tomorrow

It's the Fountain Valley, CA location. A whole section completely gone, it was insane. Of course everything else beside it is in disarray.

Someone has found the Season 1 Volume 2 set at Big Lots?

:-s

Most people? It sounded like a lot of people were confused and actually bought 2 disc sets instead of the complete 6-disc box set.


You're actually the first person i heard of that got the complete box set from Big Lots. Congrats! How much was it? The other guy just wanted to know what these box sets should look like.

[Vampyreonline]

I hit another Local store yesterday after work.. they did not have any of $3 sets at all.. and very few $6 I did manage to get the Smallville Blue.. it was hidden behind a stack of Lakers... (sorry to who ever hid it) it was the only one that they had...

Goign to hit another semi local store today... it's a bigger store, so maybe I'll have better luck.. REALLY want Mission Hill and Blade!

[Animal7390]

i found season 2 vol 2 (6 disc set)

[theego204]

I've been hitting up the only local Big Lots with a consistent DVD set shipment (that I've seen so far) every other day for the past week. Earlier in the week I nabbed War at Home S1, Tales from the Crypt S3, and the Batman animated series 2-pack.

Well, I went up to the store again today looking for more and they didn't have anything I wanted at first glance. Then I head toward to register and a lady has 2 copies of Everwood and when I ask her if they had anymore of them, she said no and started bragging about how she's been back to buy the sets 2-3 times per week.

Ya know, I don't blame her for going up there multiple times per week (I do), but save some of the loot for people that are going to actually watch the stuff. I know we've had this hoarder conversation before, but man that pisses me off when you encounter one of the culprits and they basically laugh in your face about it.

[acdcrocks1980]

hell, if you can't find what you want, look on Amazon Marketplace or ebay, all these sets will become cheap there from the resellers. I will probably buy TFTC on there, if I don't find the sets at my BL

[Veronica Mars]

Anyone have the SKU for Flintstones Season 1?
or the PPG Complete Set?

Buying 2 copies of Everwood is hoarding?

[JJSP]

SKU's are totally useless because they're all generic "$3 Boxset" UPC's.

[slidecage]

Buying 2 copies of Everwood is hoarding?

i think going back 2 to 3 times a week = hoarding...

i think im done only thing i want is Thundercats and flintstones season 6 and its not worth the time or hassle looking anymore ... Might go back next thursday but dobut i check back before then

[BingoBrown]

Buying 2 copies of Everwood is hoarding?

It's really a sliding scale. Buying 2 copies of Everwood is hoarding. Buying 2 copies of Joey is doing a public service.

[DaftPunkFan37]

Mission Hill complete series
Samurai Jack seasons 1-3 pack (entire series)

If anyone can pick those up i'd be willing to pay for them + shipping no big lots near me :(

[Veronica Mars]

SKU's are totally useless because they're all generic "$3 Boxset" UPC's.

Nope. Some items have individual SKU, like Season 3.

[AoA]

So I finally drive on over to the Big Lots near me...and its going out of business.

Grabbed the Joey Season 1 for 4.80. SCORE!!!!!!!!
I had to get something after driving all the way there and shockingly, it was the best thing I could find.

[theego204]

Buying 2 copies of Everwood is hoarding?

Buying 2 copies of Everwood alone ain't hoarding, but:

Going back 2 to 3 times a week + bragging about your loot + not leaving any sets for everyone else = hoarding.

I think what people do on CAG is great (trading and so-forth), but to taunt me about having what I want is pushing it a bit. And that's why that lady rubbed me the wrong way, that's all...

[Link927]

Just returned a few items that I picked up for CAGs who didnt want to trade afterwards. I think this is the end of going back to BL for me. My BL has been stripped of basically everything, I might check out some further BLs out of the way in the future, but if its like anything like my closest BL, I would think hoarders hit them up too.

[fairyland]

I don't know if this title has been mentioned before as it's not on the mail list, but I got Huckleberry Hound Show Volume 1 for $3.00. So far I found nearly everything I had wanted except for the one that I probably wanted the most, Powerpuff Girls. LOL! I did go to 5 different stores for about a total of 20 times waiting for them all to be put out which is why I got so lucky. I think I had spent close to or over $200.00 on sets which most of them I'll probably never get around to watching more than a few eps of. D'oh!

[scarface333]

I found a few more of my wants today, still no PPG though. I found a WB Academy Awards Animation Collection (only one at four stores) 41 shorts Bugs Bunny, Droopy, Popeye, Tom and Jerry, ect. Some are even widescreen!

Ha, I hear ya there. I already had a huge backlog of sets to watch, but these things were too good to pass on!

[Cmosfm]

If anyone has some extra sets of Flintstones Season 4 or Tales from The Crypt Season 1 & 7 I'm needing to piece together some sets, and I need a few of each, so PM me and I'll buy them with some extra on top of course, I don't want to have to buy these from Amazon.
