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

[Link927]

I remember watching random episodes and it wasnt too bad. Might need to get myself a S1, need to find a FYE that hasnt closed down in my area....

[WeaponX2099]

Speaking of Veronica Mars, do I have to watch S1 before I start watching my $3 S2 set?

It's very helpful to watch Season 1, but you can get most of the story without it

[FlamedLiquid]

Speaking of Veronica Mars, do I have to watch S1 before I start watching my $3 S2 set?

I'd say watch Season 1 first. It develops the characters well.

[Cmosfm]

I'd say watch Season 1 first. It develops the characters well.

Another reason to watch the first season, the show is absolutely amazing, so it's well worth the cost of the first season.

[robin2099]

Definitely just random speculation. I definitely don't think suddenly all these sets are gonna be recalled and taken off the shelves. Maybe over time but not instantly unless Big Lots is named as a culprit of this officially and can be pinned down with precise evidence that claims it as the "victim" of this ordeal.

Warner Brother's isn't stupid, so eventually they will figure out where the DVD's were sold, and will tell them to cease and desist.

[Demolition Man]

Warner Brother's isn't stupid, so eventually they will figure out where the DVD's were sold, and will tell them to cease and desist.

At this point I doubt Warner is going to do that. The vast majority of the said box sets have already sold. What very little that is left I just can't see Warner even wanting to bother to have those "Joey" sets that never sold suddenly sent back to them.

[Animal7390]

Stopped by my location today. Tons of War At Home Season 1 for $3 and the Looney Toons Movie Collection for $10... and somehow they managed to sell all but one copy of Joey Season One. Otherwise no new stock.

the looney tunes collection, is that the 1-5 one? if so did you pick it up and is it up for grabs?

[acdcrocks1980]

the looney tunes collection, is that the 1-5 one? if so did you pick it up and is it up for grabs?

The movie collection is just 2 movies.

[elessar123]

the looney tunes collection, is that the 1-5 one? if so did you pick it up and is it up for grabs?

The movies collection is $12 on Amazon, $10 at Big Lots, so not really worth it.

[Torrwin]

Speaking of Veronica Mars, do I have to watch S1 before I start watching my $3 S2 set?

I wouldn't bother watching S2 it's pretty horrible. There are plot lines that go nowhere left and right, and the ending isn't even really based on the rest of the season. As good as S1 was, there's a reason it didn't fully make it through S3 before being cancelled...

[dyeknom]

the looney tunes collection, is that the 1-5 one? if so did you pick it up and is it up for grabs?

Sadly, I was at wal-mart and saw that same collection for 13$ too. 2-3$ difference just isn't much, compared to the other sets :/

As far as Veronica Mars is concerned, I really enjoyed all three seasons. You dont HAVE to watch season 1 to really understand season 2, because it's a self-contained story... but I would strongly recommend watching S1 first, otherwise you're flying blind as to Logan's situation as well as to some of the characters and story references.

Season 2 was not the reason for its cancellation, which held steady at a little over 2 million viewers / episode and continued to hold steady. The show, in general, didn't have numbers like UPN/CW's flagship garbage reality TV shows Next Top Model, Pussycat Dolls, etc... *cough*Firefly*cough* Viewer ratings determine our TV schedule and silly people watch the dumbest shows :)

[Animal7390]

Viewer ratings determine our TV schedule and silly people watch the dumbest shows :)

agreed

[Kerig]

Sounds like I'll more than likely watch Joey before Veronica Mars.

I still have absolutely no idea how the Nielson Ratings are anywhere near accurate. I remember having my family chosen for it when I was about 10. We kept the TV on most of the day/evening that week. It's such an alien presence, that it can't NOT affect your viewing habits when you know that watching TPIR in the afternoon can keep Bob Barker on for yet another year.

[Demolition Man]

Except TPIR is pretty much an hour long infomercial disguised as a game show. Take away all the money the show makes off of advertising giving away hot products and I'll guarantee you that it wouldn't have lasted as long as it has.

[plasticbathmonki]

Nothing worthwhile in the four North Austin stores, unless you like the OC or the Dukes of Hazard.

If anyone in the Austin area sees the Babylon 5 movie set, lemme know. I need it to complete my series set :)

[spmahn]

The reason they would want to destroy them rather than sell them at a discounted rate is that they don't want to devalue the merchandise when it is still being sold at full price at normal retailers, along with the fact that they can right off the full cost of the DVDs that were destroyed as a business expense, something they could not do if th ey were sold.

I can understand that, but I still see it as a terrible waste.

[crazedracerguy]

I saw some weird Bandai Anime sets today in a way out of the way Big Lots for $10 - but now I can't remember what they were. One had a bust of a woman included with the DVD. Then there were 2 with 2 plush figured included in the box. I didn't know what the heck they were... So I left them there.

The one with the 2 plush might have been Angel Tales IIRC, its a somewhat old shipment back when Big Lots was flowing with anime. Those were the days.

[Ye0ldmario]

I snagged the last copy of Wacky Races (complete series) for $3 today. It was hidden deep behind a bunch of Superman series.

That's it for the cartoons. All that's left is Everwood, Joey, Night court and westwood.

[Interstella 5555]

My local Big Lots (3 branches near me) haven't restocked any of the DVDs for past week and half. I'm starting to think they pulled it since WB is taking legal action. :cry:

[fairyland]

Nothing good that was new at my local one. There was some new public domain boxsets of WWII or some crap that I did not even bother to carefully look at, but that was it. They still had about 30 WB sets so there was no recall at my store, but they are the usual ones that people are finding which no one wants, Joey, OC, Night Court, Larry King, West Wing, Tracy Ullman etc and a couple that was obviously returns that would get snapped up soon. I did not visit every other day to check as I had done last week, but I am pretty sure they did not restock. Was there a new flyer out yesterday for BL or does theirs come out every two weeks?

[Nathan_Sama]

Nabbed Josie and the Pussycats Complete Series for $3.
My dad now thinks I like to waste money, and that im gay :/

[crazedracerguy]

$10 anime sets? Can you go back and see what ones? I'm definitely interested!

Sorry - it was in Martinsburg, WV - and I only got the one chance to go to the store. We left to come back home tonight.

The store in Winchester, VA still had some Flintstones, Josie and the Pussycats and a couple of Cousteau sets. I think there were a few Popeyes, as well.

[Interstella 5555]

i've seen a lot of the $10 anime sets. I'll go back tomorrow to get the name of the titles to see if anyone is interested to trade.

[Ye0ldmario]

I saw some .hack DVD's but they only had 5 episodes on each and it's really no interest to me. They were $3 a piece.

[Gothic Walrus]

It sounds like the number of finds has been dwindling. I think the lawsuit articles were the official beginning of the tail end. :-(

[erehwon]

Were the Batman Beyond sets pretty limited? I've been looking to trade for some of those, but I haven't seen anyone with them.

[Link927]

I saw some .hack DVD's but they only had 5 episodes on each and it's really no interest to me. They were $3 a piece.

Those were part of the last anime shipment as well. Im somewhat suprised to see some anime out there, the ones in my area have been picked clean by the next week after they shipped.

[Interstella 5555]

Yeah, as I mentioned in an earlier post for the past week and a half I haven't seen either of my 3 local Big Lots restock any new sets; I've been driving to each one almost daily to see if they do. So I guess thats the case; at least for me.

Mine put out a BIG shipment last Tuesday in prep for the Wednesday ad. I haven't seen anything since. The Wednesday shipment didn't have much in it. Checking this AM to see if they have any stock out out for the weekend from their small Friday shipment...

[psychomatt]

has anybody ever seen the south park sets at big lots.

[Kirika]

I saw some weird Bandai Anime sets today in a way out of the way Big Lots for $10 - but now I can't remember what they were. One had a bust of a woman included with the DVD. Then there were 2 with 2 plush figured included in the box. I didn't know what the heck they were... So I left them there.
The one with the bust of a woman is Scrapped Princess v. 1. It contains a full Pacifica figure, which just needs to be put together. It's about 12 inches tall, and not bad for the price. Some Big Lots also still have volume 6 of Scrapped Princess with 2 smaller figures, Angel Tales v. 1 with artbox and 2 plushies, Galaxy Angel v. 1 with artbox and 5 small figures, and some random anime dvds.

Anyway, I picked up Appleseed : Ex Machina and the Memories 3 ova pack. ^_^

You got it.

It was Scrapped Princess V1, Angel Tales V1 and Galaxy Angel V1 - all were $10.

[theego204]

I stopped by my local BL every day since last Saturday - save for yesterday - and they haven't restocked with the sets once. They got a truck on Thursday and I stopped by at 9'ish this morning and there was the same ol' stuff from Thursday afternoon leftover, with some new movies sprinkled in. I think it's the end of the road at that particular store - which was the most plentiful in my area, even though I picked up only a handful of titles I wanted. Ah well, the hunt was good while it lasted...

[cereal_killerxx]

Given the option, should I buy God, The Devil and Bob or War at Home?

[Cmosfm]

Given the option, should I buy God, The Devil and Bob or War at Home?

God, The Devil & Bob is ridiculously stupid. I'd go with the other. But this begs the question, why not buy both if they are only 3.00?

[cereal_killerxx]

God, The Devil & Bob is ridiculously stupid. I'd go with the other. But this begs the question, why not buy both if they are only 3.00?
Because I only HAVE 3.00. You see, the reason I'm a CAG is because I'm poor :P

[Cmosfm]

Because I only HAVE 3.00. You see, the reason I'm a CAG is because I'm poor :P

May be best if you don't buy either then.

[thelonepig]

I found a number of these dvd sets at Smiths for slightly more. Snagged Animaniacs Vol 3 for $6.99 and TMNT Season 4 for $5.99.

If anyone is having trouble locating these at Big Lots, check your local Smiths!

[cereal_killerxx]

May be best if you don't buy either then.
Yeah, you're right, you should buy them for me! ;)

[JJSP]

has anybody ever seen the south park sets at big lots.
Not the seasons, but the collection DVD's. The local store had a 4-pack (Vol 1-4) for $6 - I'm not entirely sure, but I think those episodes make up most if not all of season 1.

[laserdogg]

A new BL had it's Grand Opening in north Omaha yesterday - checked it out this morning and was rewarded with the best selection I have seen at the 4 stores I have access to.

Looked like they held the stuff we have been seeing for 2 or 3 weeks and put it all out at once for this grand opening

No $10 sets that I could see...yet?

Only picked up what I was missing or friends had asked for:

Wonder Woman Complete Collection
Tales from the Crypt S3, S5, S6
Roots 30th Anniversary
Batman Animated Series S2 (vol 2)
Johnny Quest (original) S1
Scooby Doo and Dynomutt
Dastardly & Muttley
Smallville blu-ray S7
Flintstones S1, S2, S3, S4, S5
Thundercats S2 V2 big box with lenticular cover
Flag v1, v2, v3, v4
Bunch of other anime singles from Eureka 7 and a few other series

There was a ton more - all those NFL sets, OC, Six Feet Under, Thundercats with the velvet slipcovers, other Hanna Barbera boxes..it was actually a little overwhelming.

Added to what I found at the other BL over the last couple of weeks, this BL goldmine has been huge.

[FlamedLiquid]

I found a number of these dvd sets at Smiths for slightly more. Snagged Animaniacs Vol 3 for $6.99 and TMNT Season 4 for $5.99.

never even heard of that store.

Yeah, I found some of these sets at my local Fry's Grocery Store. I got TMNT seasons 4 and 5 for $5.99, though I also saw Veronica Mars S2, Tracy Takes On S1 & S2, and I think I saw a West Wing season.

I believe both Fry's and Smiths are owned by Kroger, so if anyone is interested in checking, it's possible that Kroger owned stores have some interesting deals floating about.

[ryoga79]

Another Kroger Sale? Re-he-he-he-heally.....

[Josef]

I was FINALLY able to take advantage of this deal yesterday. I picked up (all $3 each):

Veronica Mars (2nd season)
Lois and Clark (1st season)
Lois and Clark (3rd season)
The War at Home (1st season)
Popeye the Sailor (Volume 1)
Birdman and the Galaxy Trio (complete series)
Space Ghost and Dino Boy (complete series)

Come to think of it, I found TMNT Season 4 at Kroger for $6 back in April.

This might be worth checking out next time I go grocery shopping. :)

[erehwon]

I checked my nearest Kroger and didn't see anything up front where the dvd stands are usually located.

nice find on the smallvile sesaon 7 blueray, and the tales from the crypt S3, S5, S6.

If sets are now at Kroger for cheap..thatd be quite humorous for me..my nearest Big Lots is right next door to my nearest Kroger. They are part of the same strip mall.

[KyleN]

Only box sets I saw at the Nashua, NH BL were:

$3 (few copies)
War At Home S1
Tracey Takes On S1
$6 (many copies)
Dukes of Hazzard S5
Joey S1

Eureka Seven's I picked up were v2, v4, v5 and v8

It was the sole copy of v2

[elessar123]

Darn, thanks anyways.

[Furashu]

this is the furthest ive seen this thread fall...
seems like the end is near!
going to return all my volumes of avatar since i can borrow them from a friend.

[Demolition Man]

Another possibility is Big Lots is holding off on sending further stock due to a forthcoming ad. That's unlikely with the recent news but who knows. I'm not ready to call this dead but its very close to it.

[grundy]

I'm not ready to call this dead but its very close to it.

Nooooo, say it ain't so! :cry:

In reality, I have to agree that it is very close, as most of the stores I've hit here in GA, IMO, have not been restocking (or maybe I'm not getting there in time)

[Chronis]

You know, I hope my store gets in some War At Home sets. I never really got to watch the show since I found out about it just before it got taken off.

[scarface333]

The store by my house gets monday deliveries. I went there after work and they seem to have got a shippment of $6 sets. They had animaniacs, p&tb, two of the superbowl sets, scooby doo new movies and 5 dvd movie collection, scooby doo season 3, plus a few other hanna babera now marked at $6. I bought the only babylon 5 movies set they had and a batman animated 3 dvd collection( mask of the phantasm, subzero and return of the joker) I had all the others I wanted.

Yep! Found some titles at Kroger today for $7.99- Veronica Mars Season 2, Full House Season 1, Tom & Jerry, Superman: AS Volume 2, and a couple Tracey Takes On. Bought VM. Looks like Kroger bought some of these too!

[Demolition Man]

Makes me wonder how soon before outlet stores such as Marshalls and what not end up with a few of these discounted boxsets. Wouldn't surprise me since I have seen the occasional HD-DVD title show up at these stores.

[FlamedLiquid]

ill have to check out kroger now.

[kndy]

After seeing the Warner lawsuit article (http://www.thresq.com/2009/07/warner-bros-dvd-theft-lawsuit.html (http://www.thresq.com/2009/07/warner...t-lawsuit.html)), I figured I would make one more run to BL. So, went to my local Big Lots and saw a few things there today that I didn't see last week. Picked up:

Superman - Animated Series vol. 1 - $3
Popeye Vol. 1 - $3
Thundercats - Season 1, vol. 2 (says disc 9 and 10 on the back - so, not sure how the numbering system was on those)
Looney Tunes vol. 2 - $6
SuperBowl XXX (sorry don't know my roman numerals..hehe..but it's the 90's red box)
Flinstones vol. 2
Pebbles and Bam Bam complete
Scooby Doo vol. 3
Animaniacs vol 1
Memories
and a Hannah Barbera title my friend wanted...

My main goal was to find the Batman animated series, Superfriends (which I wish I picked up the first time), Veronica Mars S2, Wonder Woman - Complete and try my luck again for Thundercats. Also, if there were more Blu-rays that may have come in... But spent around $51. Did see Joey's and OC's still there...and of course Dukes of Hazard, West Wing and many of "The War at Home".

[GogetaSS4]

If anyone comes across season's 1-3 of Samurai Jack please message me. Thank you.

[crazedracerguy]

My last 2 good shots are today - if they held any out for today's ad for some reason... or tomorrow when they get their truck. I'm about to declare my store dead. Damn. Just needed a Flintstones Season 1 to complete my collection. Oh well. It'll be cheap on Ebay when I lose the spirit to keep going to Big Lots all the time.

[jdangerc]

If someone wanted to part with their Tales From the Crypt season sets, I can trade Blu Rays and Games for them. Let me know!

[Ninjafingers]

If anyone is interested in getting the Roots set my area must have been the clearing house for those, as I've seen a dozen or more in just one store alone. PM me if you want one and I'll get em for you. And if anyone has the Looney Tunes 20-disc set (I know, long shot), let me know and we'll trade even. Thanks.

PS: If this sale truly is over, I'm going to start checking out the used book stores that take DVDs. I'm sure someone may trade some of this stuff in at some point, especially if they need to pay rent or bail money.

[HunteR7411]

The Big lots in Naperville, IL has not gotten anything new in the past 2 weeks. Looks like the deal is over?

[kndy]

Probably YMMV, some posts I'm reading online especially at my store have received stuff yesterday. Hoping for a shipment tomorrow.

[FlamedLiquid]

I think the Kroger thing may be nationwide. I made a topic on it. They had some nice sets there I havent found at any of the Big Lots Ive been in in the last month.

[PotatoGuy]

Kroger has stuff too? i might hit that up tonight.

also forgot to add the flint, mi stores pulled their end caps.

[FlamedLiquid]

Kroger has stuff too? i might hit that up tonight.

the sets arent as cheap. $7.99 each. But thats still a good price imo and you probably dont have to worry about the hoarders.

[Ye0ldmario]

Is it safe to say this sale is dead now? Just wait until months from now when these sets bump up to their original value again, if ever.

[Interstella 5555]

Checked mine today, seems they haven't restocked for two weeks now. It could be dead in the SoCal area.

[Animal7390]

the sale is not dead. they are still the same prices, just harder to find.

[Animal7390]

kroger discussions should be moved to the kroger thread, not in the big lots thread.

[Techsticles]

Was shocked to see a pair UFC DVDs at BL today. Too bad there were not more.

[badtzm]

I finally found the Smallville Season 7 bluray at big lots. I bought one for me 1 for my friend and one for trade. I'm definately not a hoarder so don't call me one. THere have been plenty that I only bought 1 of and tons I have left behind. =)

[HunteR7411]

the sale is not dead. they are still the same prices, just harder to find.

Never said it was dead, just wanted to mention that nothing new has been showing up. These were not special sale item prices, those are the prices that they are selling them with the stickers they attached.

[Un4tun8Disaster]

kroger discussions should be moved to the kroger thread, not in the big lots thread.

There's nothing wrong with notifying others in one thread about other stores having this type of deal, Right?
I mean, he didn't say it to change to topic of Big Lots, He said it to let others who were looking without luck at Big Lots that "Hey, heard you might get lucky if you look at Rite Aid"...
As for thinking we were changing the topic to "Kroger" and constantly gonna talk about them, that would be a dead topic for us to supposedly "try" to change it to anyways; cause like we said in our posts there aren't any of those stores around us. Thus, nothing to talk about in that Kroger thread you insist we move to and there's nothing else to say to continue talking about it in this thread.

In other words, Thanks for letting us know of a alternate thread but pointless for us to move to it...


Back to Big Lots, went by my local one today...no new restocks (if there had been earlier this week/last weekend then they'd been cleaned out) and what was there was nothing of interest to me...Still had plenty of Roots. Hoping I catch a new re-stock soon though still hoping for that Samurai Jack that will probably never show up for me in my area.

[sxoob9]

The deal isn't dead in Portland, ME. I noticed a few new sets this past Sunday. Top Cat and Dastardly-Flying Machines.

**edit** just kidding they're gone now

[Animal7390]

it was just a suggestion, since it seemed that was where people were heading in the thread since people mentioned finding stuff at kroger.

[Chronis]

I went to my Big Lots today and they had way more stuff than before. A bunch of LA Lakers Championship history, various WW2 box set, Night Court, Dukes of Hazard s5 and 6, History of Rock and Roll, Nightmares and Dreamscapes (Stephen King shorts...?), Roots: The Next Generation, Tracy Takes On, and West Wing s2. There were also a few Eureka Seven DVDs. I think they were vols 5, 7, and 8.

Anyway, if someone sees War at Home, Veronica Mars, Drew Carey, or Samurai Jack and don't know what to do with them... ;)

[Demolition Man]

Nothing in this upcoming Sunday's ad for box sets.

[georox]

Man, I can't believe how massive this Looney Tunes set really is. Wow.

[hiccupleftovers]

I guess I came into this deal kind of late. I really wish I hadn't been so busy these past few weeks, but oh well, what can I do. You win some and you lose some. There'll be a next time for sure, not to mention that I already own quite a few sets from this deal already. I went to a couple Big Lots by me, and at least i found Tracy Takes On Season 1. I was very happy with that find, plus it was only $3 and not the $6 listed in this OP's post.

Went to a Big Lots yesterday, only sets I left were Joey and bunch of different Dukes of Hazzard seasons that was it...And I dug deep into every Dvd area, didn't find a thing I really wanted. Unless the store was jus holding out for some reason...Yea it feels pretty much over in my area.

[zman73]

Didn't get anything yesterday from BL... But my trip wasn't a total waste, a local salvage type mart ha a ton of A&E DVDs and I found the complete dangermouse series for $5...

What A&E dvds they have?

BTW, I've got a "Blade the Complete Series" up for trade. Should anyone be interested, PM me.

[zman73]

Mainly lots of biography sets, Family Jewels season 2, the St Louis Cardinals world series set, Steelbook UFO hunters season one, there were tons of dvds

[Un4tun8Disaster]

Ok went in today to a different Big Lots store in my area, I'm glad I did...
I finally found Volume 2 of both Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. So i purchased 2 of each. They had a bunch of Tracy Takes on (Like 2 rows), Scooby Doo box sets, Dukes of Hazzard S5 and S6, Joey's and like half a row of Animaniacs V2 and like 5 Pinkys V2 left. They told me that store gets Dvd shipments in on Tuesdays and Have them on the floor Thursdays. Surprisingly enough This deal wasn't completely dead for me yet.

found about 6 of the 12 Gundam Seed one disk volumes all like vols. 6-12. Has anyone seen Vol. 1-6?

[Veronica Mars]

I'm mad at myself for not opening the sets sooner. The Everwood set was broken, and the disks have scuff marks. I'm going to go and try and return it, since I doubt I can exchange it, None Left. I actually liked the show too :/

You got me worried so I opened up mine too. My disks are fine, the only problem is that the glue on the disk tabs didnt hold, so my first two tab cases are loose while the 3rd one is still glued to it. Might just reglue them myself I guess, its a very odd way to store them though...

I think that is part of the reason WB wanted this stuff destroyed as I heard many rattling sets of DVDs when I was making the rounds last month.

[Demolition Man]

Looks to be no ad this week. The e-mail I got this week pushed clearance stuff which you can look up on BigLots.com already. To answer already before anyone asks.... no, the
box sets that we are all looking for are NOT part of the clearance.

I've encountered more than my fair share of rattling DVDs in my day that retail stores will sell regardless.

It wouldn't surprise me. I had a few loose discs in the sets I've opened (Flintstones Season 5, Animaniacs Volume 1, TMNT Season 5 from Krogers, and maybe a few others), and I'm pretty sure a few of the sets I left on shelves had loose discs. Fortunately, "loose" didn't mean damaged, at least in this case.

I also noticed a few other minor imperfections (like the slip covers not lining up with the art underneath on the Hanna Barbera sets), but nothing so bad that it would've doomed the sets to $3 oblivion by most standards.

Demolition Man is right, though - I've gotten a few DVD sets and games that had loose discs from other places, which were sold at full price.

[Veronica Mars]

Everyone near me is basically sold out of box sets.
Too bad, since I wanted to finish Ever wood. I hope this is the only set that has problems. I don't really check my stuff until I'm ready to watch it.

Just wondering, were your disk case "tabs" also loose, or is everything glued correctly? I wonder how this originally worked since it seems like it would be hard to get disks out, but they clearly had glue on them at one point.

The plastic cases were cracked, and yeah, the glue was coming off. I think most of the sets were "defective." They probably had slight imperfections.

[PotatoGuy]

the oc season 3 i snagged didnt have the booklet. ah well.

[bigdaddy]

You can't complain for $6.

However you can complain that season 3 of The OC was garbage garbage anyways. :lol:

[Veronica Mars]

I think it's a return, but I found one copy of "Invasion".(ABC Series)

[jdawgg76]

I think it's a return, but I found one copy of "Invasion".(ABC Series)Awesome show, yet another set I wish I could find.

[dg7md]

No sets anymore but there's quite a lot of 4 dollar Nickelodeon single-disc DVDs I saw. Interested in a few but passed.

[Slim Gatsby]

Local Big Lots restocked -- they didn't have Roots or the Steven King tv show before, now they did.

Also, a lot more Dukes.

[Interstella 5555]

Went to my store recently to return a few titles. My store only had various West Wing seasons as well as Dukes of Hazzard.

[kndy]

Went by mine just an hour ago....and they just piled everything up. Nothing new...but a lot of West Wing box sets.

[Gothic Walrus]

That sounds about right. I checked a store I hadn't been to before a few days ago, and all I found was Joey and the crappy Dukes of Hazzard seasons.

[crazedracerguy]

Wow... that was weird... I went into a Big Lots that I have never visited because I am working from a remote location today... and found...

Thundercats S2 V2 (6 disc set) - $6
Thundercats S1 V2 (x1) - $6
Thundercats S1 V3 (x2)
Wait til your father comes home (x3) - $6
Scooby and Dino-Mutt hour (x2) - $6
Superfriends hour (x3) - $6
Dallas Cowboys - Complete history and Super bowl chanmpions sets, shriked together (x3) - $6


Strange to see good stuff still out there. I thnk no one goes to this Big Lots - it's SUPER ghetto...

[Josef]

Went to a Big Lots yesterday and saw many copies of Joey (season 1), Night Court (1st season), West Wing (2nd season), and the Lakers DVD set. But that was it.

[jdawgg76]

I'd pick up Joey (not as bad as people made it out to be, come on Friends had ended already) or Night Court (watched every episode as a kid), but I really don't know when I'd watch them. Hell, I've gotten cheap movies on BR that I really want to see that have gone unwatched for over a year. Wish Jericho was popping up at BL/Kroger, but I'd probably strike out on those, too.

[Link927]

Just finished up watching my Everwood Season 1, not bad at all, now I want S2, which only came out 2 months ago, so it'll be a while before prices drop. Hmmm, what to do, what to do.

[Gothic Walrus]

Wise fwom your gwave?

At this point, anything you'll find is going to be the sets people don't give a rat's ass about. In Michigan, that seems to be Joey and Dukes of Hazzard.

I never did have much luck with Kroger - only one of the stores I went to got the DVDs, and the only thing I left with was a TMNT box set.

Maybe some anime which I'm clueless about. At least you had a Kroger with stuff. The only ones around here that got new bins recently have them filled with used DVDs for $8.

[Rictor]

Wow, I wish threads like this were in the main forum, even though they're not game related. I missed out...might check local Big Lots and see if they have been restocked. I see 20 or 30 box sets I'd buy if I spotted them.

[Animal7390]

rictor
if you cant find something, post it

[smashingradioheads]

Ventured out to a couple stores today after a 2-3 week hiatus. And finally found a copy of a movie I've been searching for a long time The Adventures of Baron Munchausen! I also picked up Half Nelson since I keep hearing it's a really good movie. Oh, and these were found at the Orange, CA store. Still one copy of Baron Munchausen left to anyone who wants it.

[Ndolger]

Oh...come on! I only shop at Kroger for my groceries and NEVER saw this. I also check Big Lots! DVD section...and NEVER saw this...gaaaaahhhhhh...

[Ye0ldmario]

TMNT box set? was that the 1987 series?

[crazedracerguy]

I guess. The one I saw was Season 5 in a pizza looking box...

Yeah, me too! I hit 3 stores in metro Boston last week and only found one Superfriends set for $6 (great gag gift, someone's getting it for Christmas!) and nothing else except stacks and stacks of seasons 5 and 6 of the Dukes of Hazzard. Would have loved more of those HB cartoon sets for cheap.

I did find all four volumes of the anime FLAG for $3 each, so I was jazzed about that. $12 for a 13-episode series is nice.

[pulsar0510]

Mostly the same around me, Joey & WW, but I did score a $3 Dark Crystal Collectors Edition at an out of the way store. They had 2 copies so I grabbed one and left the other for someone to stumble across.

If it was in the "main" forum, we'd have the kind of clusterfuck mess they have on sites like Fat Wallet that makes it impossible to find anything. CAG's a special interest site and this isn't the main interest, so it makes sense to partition it off. Besides, nothing's stopping you from looking at this forum on occasion.

TMNT box set? was that the 1987 series?

Yep. Seasons 4 and 5 box sets have been reported.

For both Kroger and Big Lots, though, you guys are probably SOL at this point. We're about a month past the prime of this sale and, given the news reports that claimed these DVDs were "stolen" (supposed to be destroyed, but the company decided to resell them on the cheap instead) it's pretty clear that there won't be a restock. Unless you have a strong interest in Joey or the seasons of Dukes of Hazzard where they recast all of the characters, it's not worth bothering.

[jdawgg76]

Don't know if this will apply to DVD TV sets, but an ad here in Atlanta states that DVDs will be 4/10 (or $3 each) for two days this Labor Day Sunday and Monday.

[scaredyett]

Man I wish i read these posts months ago, i went to big lost by me in florida a few days agoa nd then another by school all before i saw these posts and they had some sets left, one had oc season 2, joey, night court , dukes of hazzards and west wing... the one i went to today had pinky and the brain volume 2 , tracey takes on season 1, dukes of hazard and 1 copy of wacky races, id love to get more of the hannah barbera series, im going to check a few more stores, but i wish i had known when this post was made, i had just bought smallville season 7 on blu ray for like $30 recently. and nip tuck too for $15 now i know why so many people were selling them on ebay and amazon.

[Ye0ldmario]

Well I'm glad I got the 3 box sets that I managed to grab while they were there. (P&B v2, FS s2, WR CS). Good while it lasted.

[crumrin114]

Update: It looks like a whole bunch of the DVD sets in the original post made their way to resellers, so quite a few of these will be available for around $10 on E-Bay and Amazon storefronts until the supply goes down. So if there are sets that you missed, it's probably still a good time to pick them up.

Except the NFL America's Game set. :bomb:

[DarkCitadel]

Majorly scored today at Big Lots....Picked up Kung Fu Hustle for my wayward niece, and 17 James Bond movies for my Dad, that he didn't have for 3$ each. So while I may be poorer, got the old man an awesome x-mas present.:lol:
