I folk been busy so I haven't had much time here... but if you have a BIG LOTS and this might have been posted already they have some GREAT deals on DVD's

I got

The ROOTS boot set (like 12 disc) for $10
Loony Toons Vol 1,2,3,4, and 5 box set for $10 (about $200 on Amazon)
Flintstones Box set Season 2 and 3 ... $3 each
A bunch of other Hanna Barbara box sets $3 each
Dukes of Hazzard full seasons $3 each
Popeye 1933-38 Vol 1 $3
Several TV shows full seasons $3 each
6 season Powerpuff Girls $3 each
Animaniacs Season 1 and 2 $6 each
Tons and tons of movies $3 old ones, new ones, special editions, director cuts, multi disc etc $3 each

And that's just a tiny tip of the iceberg.

Just a FYI hope everyone is having a great summer (for the Northern Hemisphere folks.)
Mill stream 12 disc box sets $9 each (some 50 movies some 80 movies sets)

I don't know where you live but the TV box sets, which just started appearing in the local Big Lots here, are going for $6.  If I was you I'd buy EVERYTHING and re-sell it.  Someone screwwed up big time at your BL.

Sadly the sets stocked here are totally random.  Season 5 of Nip & Tuck, Season 3 of the OC, seasons 2, 4, 5, & 6 for Dukes (with only one BL store having a single copy of season 2), season 3 of Wonder Woman, season 2 of Pinky & the Brain (1 copy at 1 store) &tc.  And it's only a handful of box sets.

So far no Flintsones.  In fact aside from Pinky & the Brain the only cartoons I recall seeing were Scooby Doo movie twin packs.  No Mill Creek box sets here either.  Though the last time any BL here stocked them they went for $13 dollars so, again, I don't know where you live but this sounds like a great opportunity to make some money as a re-seller.

I popped into my Big Lots after seeing this post and, sure enough, it was a goldmine. I got Dastardly & Muttley: The Complete Series for 3 smackers. Same thing for the entire volume 1 of Popeye. I also picked up Pan's Labyrinth (for 3 bucks? now THAT'S a deal), Suburban Commando, Brick, Theodore Rex, and a couple other things that I can't remember off the top of my head right now. There's another Big Lots not too far from me that I'm gonna check out sometime this weekend.

Freakin' jackpot!

I'm in KY and the first load of box sets were $6 the next shipment they got was $3 bucks now did they price them wrong? I don't know but I can tell you this I had to have a overflowing shopping cart to get my haul to the truck.
Some of the big box sets were $10 i.e. Roots, Loony Toons golden Collection Vol 1-5 I went to a neighboring college town last night and they had 10 time as many DVD there... and yes another huge haul.

The Mill Stream sets they had about 6 different titles of either 50 or 80 movie sets and they have new plastic cases and not those crappy paper ones (there was a couple of old paper ones) and they are now $9 not the old price of $13

one thing I got recently that the kids were super in to was the gummi bears box set.  next to dungeons and dragons it was like one of the best cartoons of the 80's

Headed out to the local BL yesterday.  Have to say it's looking a lot better since they started remodelling the interior layout.  And, yes, it does look like some TV series are on the rack for $3.  One thing I noticed new about the racks are BL apparently has gone to two tiered pricing as there's now a side for $3 and $6 DVDs.  Wish I could report what the differences are but the dealers have apparently discovered what's going on as the DVDs were well picked over.

I picked up season 1 of Tracey Takes On for $3.  Haven't seen it, don't know if it's worth watching, but season 2 was $6.  So anyone here recommend this series?  Should I just trade it in for store credit somewhere?

Alas no Gummi Bears.  Then again all that was really left were Knots Landing and Dukes of Hazarrd sets.

I was there yesterday.  I had ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN and another movie (can't remember what it was) in my hand.  They were $3 each.  But, for some unexplainable reason, I ended up not buying them.  But I did buy each of my dogs a squeeze toy for $1 each.

I thought real hard on the Cobra/Tango and Cash two-pack. 

Supermarket Killer: Get back! I got a bomb here! I'll blow this whole place up!
Marion Cobretti: Go ahead. I don't shop here.

I picked up a double feature of the Hercules movies with Big Lou as the title character and the original Boogeyman with Return of The Boogeyman (know this one sucks horse hoses), but for $3 each, what the heck?

Do it, get it, get it, get it!

Tango and Cash is a [very] guilty pleasure of mine...

I, too, found the Ferrigno Hercules DF at BL recently.  Now if they'd only get DVDs of CHERRY 2000. . .

Admit it Cheeze, you're on season 4 now, right?   :teddyr:

Oh I watched it straight through 1 to 6 ... actually I bought it for my wife who uses one of the characters for her avatar that was worth $3.

Tales From The Crypt, seasons 2-6 - 3 bucks a piece

I nearly crapped a brick.

Also got Birdman & Galaxy Trio, complete series- 3 bucks

A couple other things, too. The Crypt seasons though were the big "holy moley" moment for me. What a deal!

Every time I've checked out Big Lots recently I've only found crap like second seasons of The OC and Smallville.  I guess I'll have to keep checking in.

All the ones around here seem tapped out. There was a great 3/4 week run there, where every other day you could drop by one of the two Big Lots stores around here and find something different AND good. But the stuff went fast. Word of the bargains travels fast, and I think they're done with this short burst of cool stuff they were rockin' for a while there. At least, the ones in my neck of the woods are.

Got a LOT of great stuff though. I looked up every single DVD I got online the other day, wrote down the prices, added 'em up, and then compared 'em to the prices I paid at Big Lots... and I ended up saving more than 500 bucks on DVD's. My collection's swelled by at least two whole shelves at this point. I can't even begin to tell you how bummed I was when the flow of goodies puttered down to a trickle of "okay" things. Part of me really thought it could've last forever.

Ah, well. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll pull something like this again sometime soon.
