The Ongoing Wal-Mart $4.88/$5.50/$5.88 Bargain Bin Thread - Page 4

post #91 of 1178
Read a few more reviews and decided to cave on:

Flashback (16x9, mixed reviews)

I'm hooked on the bin...and fan of the actors involved.
post #92 of 1178
Two questions of all you 'bin watchers':


1) What movie(s) were you most surprised to see in the bin?

I was shocked to see 'City Hall' in the bin. I think I paid $12.99 for that one at CC a year ago. Ouch!

I was also surprised to see *so* many copies of 'Wall Street' and 'G.I Jane' in the bin. Think I paid $9.99 and $8.88 for these titles previously.


2) What movie(s) do you expect to see in the bin soon?

With some of the Paramount titles showing up recently, my vote would be for 'Primal Fear'.

Actually, I be happy to see any LBX-only title that may not get redone in years to come (Copland, Judge Dredd, Armageddon, Con Air, Scream).

Just a side note, noticed that WalMart has a web site for the bin:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/catal...41938%3A115376

Seems like only half the stuff listed was actually in my bin locally, but I guess that might be one perk to ordering on-line.

I have not been able to find Peggy Sue got married in the bin. If anybody finds an extra copy (WS) I would like to buy one.

I will be going again tomorrow to check. Thanks, Randy B A
post #95 of 1178
Picked up a couple more today:
Peggy Sue
Repli-Kate
Devil in the Flesh
post #96 of 1178
No Peggy Sue in San Diego.

Can anybody out there help me out with the duel A.R copy?

Thanks, Randy B A
post #97 of 1178
Randy,

I'll look for you the next time I am there. I know when I was there a week ago they had plenty. It may be a bit as we are iced in here in VA but I will let you know as soon as I can.

The excellent 'Dr. T & the Women' has hit the bin.

Also saw 'Chances Are' in the bin, not sure if this one is for me (story is strange indeed).

Randy,

I got last PSGM from my local WM. Shoot me your address and I will get it out to you asap.

post #101 of 1178
I also saw lots of the following

Ravenous
Snake Eyes
Eye for an Eye
Children of a Lesser God
Flashback


These have basically been mentioned already but thought I would throw the word in as well.

I was intrigued by an earlier post that said Wild Things in the bin was MAR. I had purchased a copy just a couple weeks ago and it was OAR.

Well, I checked the bin tonight where I got my copy and two copies I found were, indeed, both MAR. That's too bad. Who wants to miss any portion of the scenery in that movie? :b
post #103 of 1178
i bought Wild things in the bin and it was OAR. Watch out though, a SE is coming out.
post #104 of 1178
I just thought I'd mention what I got at a Canadian Wal-Mart today from the bin. These are Cdn$6.88, so about US$5.30, and I'm mainly only mentioning what I got since many movies I'd never heard of and they don't stick in my mind. All I got are WS anamorphic.

Airplane!
Ford Fairlane
The Virgin Suicides
The Truth About Cats & Dogs
Freddy Got Fingered

Yeah I know, FGF and FF are not so good, but since Gigli wasn't there yet to fill my lousy movie quota...

They had a very large selection, one I didn't get but saw was Outland (with Connery), think I might like it, and Body Snatchers, seemingly well thought of in its own right, but generally not that well-reviewed. I must admit this is the first time they've ever had anything in the bargain bin that interested me at all.
post #105 of 1178
Airplane! is in the bin? In Canada? Has anyone else seen it in the bin? In the U.S.? This is one of those titles I have been wanting for a long time, but I keep seeing in BB or CC sales like 2 for $15, but there's never another title I want to get. I think right now its on the shelf at BB for $14.99

Probably won't be long now...
post #106 of 1178
Yup, Airplane! That's the one I saw first, and once I grabbed it, figured I might as well take a look for more. I think the bargain bin of *name-brand* studio releases is new here, I go to WM about once a week and have never seen it before, usually their cheap stuff is incredible junk. The titles in the bargain bin that I recognised are not ones that we know of a new version coming out soon. Compare that to the Cdn$11.66/14.66/17.66 titles there: many of these have already been re-released, or will imminently be, so buyer-beware there, but not so in the real bargain bin it seems.
post #107 of 1178
Lucky you, Craig!!! That's why I want to hear from any state-siders if they've seen Airplane! in the bin.

I know I haven't.
post #108 of 1178
I dipped into the bin (actually a rack) again:
A Life Less Ordinary
WWE: Undertaker - He Buries People Alive
post #109 of 1178
If Anyone finds these 2 items in their bin, please lmk I would be happy to pay for them + shipping.

WWE: Undertaker - He Buries People Alive
WWE: Cause Stone Cold Said So

Thanks

Greg
post #110 of 1178
Greg I will look for those two when I go to WM on monday.

Also YGM
post #111 of 1178
has anyone else seen The Virgin Suicides in the bin?? i would love to find it.
post #112 of 1178
Picked these up last week:

Ford Fairlane
Mute Witness (!!)
The Truman Show

Not too bad for 5 minutes of losing dignity.

You said it...I usually go to the local WM late at night anyway, not a lot of people there. There was nobody else around while I was rummaging through and making piles in the bin. Oddly, the real cheap $2-4 crap with no-name and "public domain" labels is in racks, and it's actually probably kinda good (for us) that the IMO better stuff is less accessible and more dignity-sapping...
post #114 of 1178
Just picked up Peggy Sue Got Married. Both OAR and MAR on same disc.

Also saw American Sweethearts with Julia Roberts. 2 different covers, but is the same.

They also have a lot of TV shows, such as Bonanza and Ozzie & Harriet, 2 disc sets for $5.50. 20 episodes. From a company called Platinum.

How are these TV discs from Platinum? Good quality, original music? Are they worth it?
post #115 of 1178
Douglas, those Platinum TV releases are the same public domain garbage that's been running around from about 50 zillion companies forever now. None of them seem better than any others.

This may be the best hope for semi-decent releases of the "PD" stuff, until official releases from the proper studios come along. I betcha these end up in the $5.50 bin, too.


Hey...is it time to rename this thread to the new price point?
post #116 of 1178
Has anyone seen Children of a Lesser God in the Fort Lauderdale area? I just struck out at Oakland Park and University and McNab and Rock Island. I bought The Buddy Holly Story and Peggy Sue Got Married and saw plenty of copies of those.
post #117 of 1178

Everytime I go by the bin, it's like a feeding frenzy. Oh well, there seems to be at least one or two good deals worth fighting for. I picked up Nine Months from the bin Friday night. We had never seen it before. It turned out to be quite good.
post #118 of 1178
Even though it's an old title, The Towering Inferno is still available at my local WalMart.

My Wal-Mart also has some of the $5.50 titles, in the Electronics department and some more outside on another display on shelves.

So check out your local Wal-Mart and you may find the same thing and might score a DVD that isn't so dinged or damaged, and won't have to go bin diving for the title you want.
post #119 of 1178
grabbed Mute Witness and Exorcist III for $11 at the Dover, NH area wallyworld over the weekend...also saw the Stone Cold dvd in there...didn't Mute Witness just street a couple of months ago? Great deal!
post #120 of 1178
Dipped in again today when I found Airheads (anamorphic).
