I heard about this online, so I went to my local Big Lots to check it out and found a massive amount of Bandai Entertainment titles on sale for $3 each. Titles may vary depending on your store, but here's some of what I found that might be of interest to MAHQites:
Gundam SEED (TV series, Special Editions)
G Gundam
SD Gundam Force
Zeta Gundam (individual releases)
Cowboy Bebop (original 2000 release, plus Best Sessions)
Overman King Gainer
Mars Daybreak
IGPX (Toonami and uncut versions)
Yukikaze
Although I've had Zeta for years, this set is a real steal. Since the individual volumes are two disc sets, you get 10 episodes for $3. You're not likely to find an entire series at just one store, so you'll have to visit a couple of stores to find everything. I managed to pick up vols 4-5 of Gainer, as well as SEED SEs 2-3. If you don't know where a store is in your area, there's a store locator at http://www.biglots.com. Good hunting.

Ah yes! There's a Big Lots in my town! I go there all the time when I need to get stuff like floor wax and tp and a cheap shirts. ::hops in car to check it out:: I really need to touch up and finish my Gundam collections, and maybe mine will have that damned elusive 08th Team no. 2 disc and the rest of the 0083 volumes I need. Too bad I just finished my Zeta collection. My brother needs to complete his IGPX and Bebop collection too.
Patriotism is not a magnetic ribbon.
I ran out and checked mine today, thanks for the find! I picked up volumes 1, 3, and 4 of Zeta, but they didn't have the others. They did have a G Gundam dvd which I didn't get, as well as a bunch of SD Gundam Force. They told me they get a truck on Friday that may have more, but they wouldn't know until they put it on the shelf. I pulled that whole rack apart looking for those things, I bet I got some weird looks ...
I got some weird looks too. You might need to visit multiple stores, as it can be hit-or-miss with lots of repeats of the same volumes. The store I visited had tons of Zeta 3-4, SEED 5 and G 6. I had limited success trying to get MSG when they had it last year, and I only managed to find 3-4 and a random copy of G-Saviour. If I could find Gainer 6, I'd be able to finish my collection.

That's why you have to visit several stores, if you have more than one in your area. They get random, different stuff. And that's because these are obviously clearance items, it's not like they're going to keep regular stock of this stuff. Once they run through their allotment, that's it.Skippy438 wrote:Those are the same volume numbers mine had, for all the releases. I wonder if that's all they'll be getting. I really just want to replace my bootleg Zetas, especially the last disc, the subs are so bad it's almost impossible to watch.

It's been a week and I'm going to check out my BL again. I was out of town last weekend and stopped in another store, which had absolutely nothing. All I need are sets 2 and 5 of Zeta!
EDIT: On the second attempt, there was only one remaining Zeta DVD, and it was a volume I already had. They did however have an insane amount of copies of Fun with Dick and Jane ...
