Costco Blu-ray and dvd deals (1 Viewer)

My local store @College Park/Indianapolis has a visitor day for state employees last weekend. Had hoped to find some wanted Criterions, but not a single title could be found. Wife and I did pick up a couple of nice outdoor chairs, though.

A handful of Criterion

Yep, the exact same three at my store as well.

I believe I said this already, but I am glad that Costco is consistent across all it stores.

It allows us to use this thread to report what is in our local store with the probability it's available in all stores.

The complete Andy Griffith Show @ Costco for $59.99.

Is this a good price for this particular set? May go back.

Any reviews? It's a box housing 2 "books" - Seasons 1-5 in one book, Season 6-8 in the other. Nice and compact. Should have taken a pic but the sullen, hungry teenager was more interested in the rotisserie chicken and leaving quickly.

Different than the many other AGS complete DVDs? Better? Worse? Says Seasons 2 & 3 include original network bumpers. Why not season 1? (I have Season 1 on BD so I don't care, but still???) The show deserves a complete BD release but since they priced Season 1 BD way, way, way, way, way too high they shot themselves in the foot.

Today at Costco I noticed some Fox bluray Sets for $21.99 - Avatar 3-Disc, Alien Qaudraloigy 6-disc, Die-Hard and John Wayne 7-Disc Set (The Big Trail, The Barbarian & The Geisha, The Horse Soldiers, North to Alaska, The Commancheros, The Longest Day, & The Undefeated.)

All of the John Wayne-John Ford DVD sets (in a repackaging with "The Searchers" DVD but not the Searchers tschokes in a multi pack) for $9.99 had sold out. The Dirty Harry DVD set is also $9.99


No new Criterion BluRays.

There were some older WB DVD sets Bogart & Bacall, Tracy & Hepburn (repackaged) for $11.99

Bryan,

Welcome to the forum.

Thank you so much for joining and sharing what you saw at your local Costco.

All of us depend on this thread for information as to what other members are seeing at their store.

So sad to see Criterion is no longer being carried in bulk at Costco. That was a great deal while it lasted.

I Still hold out hope - Once Memorial and Father's day are over the Mighty 4 (WB, FOX, Sony & Disney *) may not have more sets to sell and we'll see some new(er) Crtiterions. Some editions of the 7(?) of each of the four Criterions that seen to come in groups have sold out out including the Hitchcocks (individually and the box set) and RAH's restoration of I(Mx7)W -which might be considered some feat considering if someone wanted a bluray of the un-restored film they could go to the other end of the mall and pick it up at Wal-Mart for $5.00

More recently,, Richard Linklater's "Slacker" and Alex Cox's (original) "Repo Man" sold well also.

The more recent group of documentaries have not done well (the title you missed was "Leon Russell: A Poem is a Naked Person" by Les Blank)

So far my favorite blind buy from Costco for Criterions has been "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" by Powell & Pressburger


*Universal seems to be having g a fire sale mentality (Frys Electronics had some blurays on sale two weeks ago for under $5.00 & Restored Spartacus for $7.50. And Dollar Tree had some Universal DVDS eg TSOMLive * they advertised Blurays but there were none at the store I went to) They were represented at Costco with some Individual Hitchcocks and Double Indemnity in a standard bluray case $9.99. And a few more recent items as well as double sets of Horror/Muumy related Blurays with moive cash(?) on each one for the new Huntsman movie

A couple of quick updates I went to Costco today and the DVD/Bluray area was quite a jumble.

Man from U.N.C.L.E complete DVD set (no briefcase) is still $44.99
On top of the TOPICS sets they had some BBC Giftsets with 4 Shows in each for $24.99
It looked like the the ST-Original series was $49.99 on bluray, but I can't confirm that as sometimes they use empty bluray cases for DVDs, as they did when they had SW-The Clone Wars

Apparently newer this week were some sets by RLJ for $14.99 on on Elvis Presley and two others on history In addition the has a 'Complete Beetle Bailey 50 cartoons for $14.99 which appears to be the set mentioned below

I Almost picked it up but it was Madacy so I decided to pass for now.

Heya Brian!

Thanks for the continued update.

I am going to Costco next Tuesday and I will report back what I see there.

Appreciate all the updates in this thread. Very helpful.

One of my local Costco locations (Mesa, AZ) had a pretty good Criterion selection today. I picked up The Graduate, The Manchurian Candidate, and In a Lonely Place for $60 plus tax. Woo-hoo!

I hope all of them come to my CT Costco, I'm afraid to go look as the video section just keeps getting smaller and smaller

You may need to look to find them. They are usually placed behind one of the Major's offerings. "The Kid" and "The Graduate" are in the Monthly "Connection" so they should be there.are two different SKUs with Four Titles per SKU.

Paid full price for many of those just a few weeks ago. Not all of those were at my Costco. Great deal! At least it's good to see that Criterion is still alive at Costco.

Saw the eight Criterion titles shown above in Doug's pics at my store today.

Costco is also currently running discounts on some Pixar titles, including recent releases Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur for a final cost of $16.49 (instant rebate of $7.50 off reg. price $23.99). Other Pixar sales included the three Toy Story films, WALL-E, The Incredibles, and (I think) Ratatouille. Don't recall the exact price on the older titles, but I think they ended up around $13.99 as a final price.

They also had a number of the Warner Signature Collections (on DVD) for $11.99 each. I saw collections for Clark Gable, Bogart & Bacall, Cary Grant, and Tracy & Hepburn.

Costco have Seasons 1-4 of the Animatics cartoons on DVD for $14.99.

As well they have some Warner Digibook blurays for $12.99

Titles at this Price:
The Shawshank Redemption
Se7en
Goodfellas
Full Metal Jacket

For comparison Target has the standard blurays of Shawshank & 7 for $5.00 on sale $2.50 off regular price of $7.50 Goodfellas is available at Wal*Mart (again bluray and case) in the $7.88 bin

Again the Costco ones are the book versions



As mentioned in another thread they have ST II-III & IV in one pack on bluray for $17.99 with a $3.00 instant rebate for $14.99 net. Also a repackaging of the JJ Abrams Compendium for the same deal ($8.00 movie cash on both editions)

The current 4 Bourne movies are available in one set for $27.99 on bluray with Movie Cash for the newest release.

Should you be feeling Looney and want some Toons, The Loney Tunes Golden Collections on DVD are $16.99 each volume.

The Martian Extended Bluray is $19.99

I'm not sure how one extends a Hobbit (and I'm not sure I want to know) but the "Extended" Hobbit Blurays are $17.99

 

[TonyD]

I've been seeing digibooks but they are $16.99 at my area Costcos.

I'll double check and update if necessary I rechecked and the dgibooks are $12.99. One thing Costco is consistent about is their inconsistency on pricing.

I more than agree that Costco DID have A Star is Born (Garland-Mason) et al. for $16.99. This is a different group of Digibooks.

 

[Malcolm R]

I saw the digibooks, but don't recall the price. I almost picked up the digi of The Shawshank Redemption, but did not. Later saw the regular blu at Best Buy for only $6.99.
