I really enjoyed this show... finding it for only 3 bucks was amazing... picked up The Comeback as a blind buy and watched it all over the course of 2 nights, very underated show, too bad HBO cancelled it and LL... they are starting to have as little patience as the networks after being on such a streak for so long with all their big hits

Earlier in the thread somebody mentioned the Jena Malone movie Confessions of an American Girl. Does anybody know the availibility of this title at Big Lots? I would really like to find this movie and would pay or trade for this movie. Also, is there any chance that other HBO films will find their way into Big Lots?

Found today for 3$ each.
In the line of Fire (Special Edition)
The Legend of Zorro (Special Edition)
The quick and the dead (Superbit)
I have never seen these at big lots before, so they may be part of a new batch coming. They only had one copy of each.
Other "New titles" I didn't get/want
Daddy Day Care
Guess Who
Into the Blue

I found a few things at the Big Lots in Cary, NC:
Hitchhiker Vol. 1
Best of Arliss
Mind of the Married Man
American Splendor
They had the David Spade and Caroline Rhea stand-ups there, but I passed on those. Oh, I also grabbed a pair of Ghost Rider boxers for $2 while I was there.

That, my friend, is what bargain hunting is all about, its the thrill of the hunt! just maybe, you will find a copy of your movie you seek some place when and where you least expect to find it, and it will make it all the sweeter

Then again, I'm confident more MGM stock will be forthcoming as there are many more titles that MGM has been making available at the "bargain bin" pricing.

Confessions would be $4.80 shipped from SecondSpin.com with the heynow code (-20% and free ship).
If you have the Superbit bug, there's lots of good deals at SecondSpin on additional superbits for $5-7 shipped as well.

Thanks abintra and beebs for the suggestions. I just wanted to help out others by providing a fair exchange of titles they might find difficulty finding at their local Big Lots. Many of the rare titles mentioned show up on the shelves at my local Big Lots. I know how frustrating it can be searching for titles that never show up at your local Big Lots. Anyway, thanks everybody.

I'm interested in the widescreen flipper of Sheena if anyone is willing to sell theirs for a reasonable price. I've only been to two local Big Lots to no avail. Also, despite what the case says, I'd prefer it be checked first to make sure it has the WS version on it; i.e., opening it. Thanks!

Sometimes you come up empty, but many times you do find something you are looking for at a great price. I've built my Sopranos sets very slowly used deal at a time this way. I still need 4, 5 and 6 part II, but I will be patient and I will find them cheap at some point.

I picked up Rock and Roll High School today. I believe that's the first time I've ever bought a Region 0 DVD in a retail store...
I also grabbed Don't Come Knocking. It's not Wem Wender's best file, but it's worth three bucks just for the cinematography and the T-Bone Burnett soundtrack.

Well, because I've been busy with work, and just got promoted (and have to change plans because I'm going out of town for a week AGAIN), I finally hit my first two Big Lots to check on the HBO titles. The South County store is as useless as always (I at least was able to get the Robocop 2 & 3 titles from them about a month or two back during the MGM shipment which they hardly had anything from then), as I hit there Wednesday night. Yesterday morning, I hit the Mid-Rivers Mall store, and scored 9 titles for $29 after tax.
What I picked up:
Confessions of the Married Man - Season 1
K Street - Complete Series
Lucky Louie - Complete Series
Best of Arli$$
Lewis Black - Black on Broadway
The Cherokee Kid
Mom & Dad Save the World
Poolhall Junkies
Nine Innings from Ground Zero
Other stuff I saw was:
A nice sized shipper of Sony restock, but they didn't have much of HBO stuff left. I practically cleared 'em out, BUT...I passed on the Caroline Rhea & Louis CK: One Night Stands. They had a few HBO Video movies I wasn't familiar with, but for the TV series....the only had 1 more K-Street and that's about it.
