| | Posted: | | | | Wow, I usually go into my Big Lots on Friday b/c that's when they restock, but went in today instead. While they did have movies, almost all of their box sets are gone...one whole side had only a couple box sets on it...
Picked up:
Josie and the Pussycats: Complete series (had debated on this one and am glad it was one of the 4 still there!)
Tracey Takes On...Ssn 1
Also picked up Dr. No and saw You Only Live Twice but already had that one. | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | Well, bigdaddyhorse might be right...went in today and while they had stocked, the only set they had was a show called The War At Home. They did have a bunch of $2 dollars one though...bunch of anime. Saw Capote, Horse Soldiers, Thief Lord among others. They seem to be getting in those compiliations that are becoming popular...150 TV shows type thing. | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | Thought I'd revive this thread a bit. Went into Big Lots a couple days ago and saw some box sets I've never seen before. Only bought one (they're 8 bucks), but they combine the first disc of 2-4 different tv series. They all have themes. The one I bought was called the Classic Comedy DVD Starter Set and had the first disc of the first seasons (so about 4-8 episodes each) of Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, the Partridge Family and Gidget.
If I remember correctly they had at least one drama set, another comedy but with more updated shows...I believe I saw at least 4 different sets with different shows in them.
I thought it was a great way of seeing if you liked a show without having to shell out the big bucks for a full season or as a way of seeing a show you watched a long time ago but didn't really have the desire to own the full season/series. | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | Sadly the BL that was really close to me closed up several years ago and I just don't have the time to travel to the next closest one.
Anyway, I've heard that they cut through the UPC# on the dvds. Is that true?
Because if so, that's a deal breaker for me. I like ,y cases as mint as possible. |

Yes, some of them have do have cuts through the UPC codes. I mostly noticed them on Warner DVD's though. Most of the other ones from different studios aren't cut. Many ones they used to have cut, they now have with white stickers covering the UPC insted of the cut marks. I know this has happened on A Mighty Wind and Exorcist 2, as I bought both there with knife marks and last week saw both with stickers not cuts.  Sucks I can't return mine for uncut cases. I'm not really saying to wait as many of these are OOP and you might not see them again, but if it's an on-the-fence title with an ugly cut, it could be an opition. |

| | Posted: | | | | Like the others said, it's hit and miss. At mine, the majority of them are uncut, but there are a handful that does have the slice through the barcode. But...my opinion...for $1 or $2 or $3, it's usually worth the sliced barcode. If I were paying full price for some of these, wouldn't consider it but for that cheap. And I'm usually pretty picky. I'll go through dvds to find one without scratches on the slipcover and shake them to make sure they don't have a floater. | | | | Lori |
