Title: Spotted in Big Lots
Post by: Mike Scott on February 15, 2020, 02:19:30 PM
Spotted in the local Big Lots, the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray set (either $5, or $10) and some of the latest Universal Legacy sets. DVD and Blu-ray, for $10 ea. I saw Dracula, Mummy and IM sets.

Jeeze!  Sounds like the days when 8-Tracks were being phased out by Cassettes.  The bulkier product was practically being given away.  Then, they were just - gone!

Time to grab some stocking stuffers for Christmas?

I think my store only had Dracula on BD. The other 2 were only on DVD. Have no idea what other stores have?

I'll check and report back. These are definitely the last physical releases we will see of these films.

What about fake 3D of everything (except the 2 in real 3D)?  ;D  Has the fake 3D craze passed, yet?

And don't forget colorized!!  ;)

If that ever happens, it will be on streaming services. I bought a state of the art 4k t.v., and have a hard time finding 4k content. Now, 8k is being peddled with absolutely nothing to watch (in 8k). At least there are 4k discs and some streaming content on Netflix. Nudity is REALLY revealing in 4k. Any infected pubic hair, genital wart, etc. Is on full display. Sexy!

A gross...oh, I get it. I just never considered a beautiful woman with infected pubes and genital warts bad (just a temporary setback). Sorry, didn't mean to 144 you out.

Only found Dracula BRD at one BL.  None at the other.  Hope to check some out of town tomorrow.  Really want Frank, if it's available.

I got an IM and a Mummy DVD today.  Anyone else spot any other titles?

I know I'm working from a small sample, but it's looking like just these 3 titles and 1 BD.

Probably.  But, please keep an eye out for me.  I hardly get to BL, but if I hear there are more, I will be there in a heartbeat.   ;D

None at my Big Lots, just a bunch of loser flicks and kiddie entertainment. They did have a nice sloth calendar, though.

They had ONE copy of Dracula BRD...  One. 

They had about three each of the Mummy and IM.

But this is one store.  None of the others had anything, and this store didn't have Mummy or IM on the first day.  Keep an eye out!
