Cool, I'm glad you found the ones you were looking for.

This is the Cerritos store in SoCal. There are quite a few copies of whatever I got. Sorry for the delay in replying

Found an extra Sweet & Lowdown WS/FS if anyone needs one. Still looking for Sheena WS/FS if anyone finds an extra.

laidbacklarkin

Its very difficult (almost next to impossible) to score a ws/fs flipper of Sheena..the last time I found one was in 2004..havent seen any after that

As usual,the one in Independence MO had crap.I did pick up a Marvel Legends Icons Punisher for 10 bucks,so I was happy.

Hello. If anyones sees any copies of Sweet and Lowdown WS/FS in the Fort Lauderdale area please let me know. I've checked 4 stores and they all only had FS copies, but hopefully they will show up eventually. I am also looking for Hannah and her sisters if anyone sees one. Thanks.

Finally found it, thanks !

Which store did you hit? I work in the LA area and thought I exhausted the nearest ones.

Just got back from my local Big Lots in Durham, NC. Holey Moley! There were stacks and stacks of DVDs that I have never seen before. I would easily say there were over 100 unique titles - maybe more.. And 5-10 of most titles! Egads.

All $3!

I think they were all Sony - too many to look through. Some new ones I got (and didn't see before)

The Changeling
We Were Strangers (rare John Huston film)
3-Iron
Brother (Takeshi Kitano)
Texas ('43 William Holden)
FreedomLand.

And way , way too many others to mention. Sure I saw some HBO documentaries too.

Would have bought more if I had $. : )

The stacks were so high and deep, I couldn't see the ones in the middle, so there could be some more good stuff there.

Some others I remembered (but didn't get)
Art School Confidential
Labryinth (SE)
Legends of the Fall,
and - I give up. too many titles.

If you haven't been to your local Big Lots in a while, I would highly suggest it!

hope this helps..

Which one? The one down I-40 east?
Labyrinth was not there the two times I went in the past week
(PS: sorry there were no HBO titles, that was the store I hit hardest for those :S)

Made another trip today looking for some Sweet and Lowdowns to trade, but they were all gone. Surprisingly, the huge number of Bachelor Party: Vegas discs were gone too. Who's buying those? I picked up a few things I didn't see before and tried to arrange the stacks so that they would not tumble down. I'm still looking for subsequent volumes of The Hitchhiker.

The Hitcher
The Show
Off the Map
Starship Troopers 2
Mini's First Time
The Enemy Within
Soldiers in the Army of God
One Night Stand: Louis CK

Larkin!

You're my hero, man! I drove down from Burbank this afternoon and I'm embarrassed to admit how many I snagged. Let's just say I turned into a total three-dollar DVD whore. I make regular sweeps from the SF Valley to parts eastward and I've never seen the level of HBO titles that store had.

The store was slow when I checked out, so all three checkout ladies were standing around gabbing and one of them said, "I had a guy a couple of days ago that bought a ton of these." I just smiled to myself and thought, "Hmm... I bet I know that dude."

Thanks again,
Dave

Murrieta, CA - I found what I was looking for

Citizen Cohn
and for good measure I picked up
Blind Justice
The Gathering Storm

They had 2 copies of all the HBO titles that I saw - except Citizen Cohn. I picked up the only one (left) there.

More $3 goodness from Big/Lots!

(Still hoping for Runaway....)

Found another good HBO batch but still can't locate Angels in America. Would be willing to trade any of the following for Angels in America:

Empire Falls
The Comback
Lucky Louie
Mind Of The Married Man, Season 1
Best of Arli$$ (2-disc)

ScissorPuppy

So far I have gotten everything and more I've wanted from big lots, except two titles that continue to allude me.

Labyrinth LE ( I already own it, but was looking one for my friend )
Legends of the fall Deluxe Edition w/booklet.


Got lucky and found a widescreen copy of Truth or Consequences today.

sstevens75

I finally found some of the HBO and MGM discs here in South Louisiana. But I am still looking for:

Labyrinth
Dark Crystal
Spaceballs

I bought extra copies of these for possible trades:

Angels in America
Gus Van Sant's Last Days
Hannah and Her Sisters
The Hitchhiker (V1)
Electra (MGM World Films)

Thanks.

Considering there are at least three editions of this flick out there, and I've only seen the original version around (and have been checking this thread less regularly than during the anime blitz)--do we know for certain that one is out there at BL?

SPiRAL

I happened to be in East LA, on Atlantic blvd / 60 fwy.

lolitazz

I think I saw one copy once like 4 months ago but I wouldn't bother looking for that title b/c it is extremely rare. Even the regular edition is not that easy to find.

FangsFirst

Heh, I just found about 6 copies of the regular (not even SE w/out box) today!
I see the "SPECIAL WIDESCREEN PRESENTATION" version that doesn't even have anything (ANYTHING!) written on the back pretty regularly at BL.

I want the boxed version though :\

(and the Stand by Me one, but I know that is pretty much just as rare)

ScissorPuppy

I found the stand by me one...

I have 3 big lots I visit in my area alot. So far anything that was rare or limited they have gotten.

A river runs through it (deluxe and boxed)
Stand by me ( deluxe and boxed)
Memento (limited edition)
Panic Room ( 3 disc)
Spaceballs ( SE)
hitchhiker vol 2 and 3 ( Which it seems as far as this board goes, I have been the only one to find)
Sheena Widescreen
The Sweet and Lowdown Widescreen

But for some strange reason, No Boxed Legends of the fall or Labyrinth.
But hey, you can't win them all.

Nice! Wish I could get so lucky.
