Is there a Warriors blu-ray that just has the original theatrical version and isn't some expensive set that comes in a fancy box with a bunch of dumb bullshit and the version of the movie nobody wants? Region encoding is not an issue.

There's a release from Imprint (Standard and Limited Editions) that includes original cut (and director's). Looks like it's out of stock on DiabolikDVD where I bought it from, but I can still find it on eBay and from Imprint's Australian shop:

The show. I don’t know if the shorts ever got a release. And the show is better than the shorts anyway, a lot of the same jokes but more refined.

The farming episode is one of the best episodes of television ever made, but audiences at the time were too stupid and cowardly to understand

I think it's more of a case where the handful of people who want this poo poo are flocking to where they might actually find it. Physical media is definitely a niche market but that niche is rabid about it. What's good about the Savers in my area is there's no set time anything comes out so you don't have to worry about someone getting there at some specific time and clearing out all the good poo poo. They just gradually put new stuff out as it's sorted and they have the shelf space. You can go there two days in a row and see different stuff. I've had some good luck with movies and records because of this. Earlier in this thread I posted pictures of a bunch of Arrow films blus I found there, some of which were still sealed. I also found X and The Batman with those still sealed as well. And there was a bunch of other good Shout discs but it was all stuff I already have. From what I could tell it was obviously someone who had all that stuff and dumped it because they upgraded to UHD.

Discovery: Winco is the new $5 blu ray random assortment bin spot

I was wondering how their inventory swapped so fast and they always had different mix of titles, despite most being B tier, still blu ray releases of popular films...

This blu i just unwrapped had a little un-peeled-off cellphane on the inside lol



I guess wal*mart offloaded their whole cheap blu ray bin inventory. prolly betting on streaming. who wonders how long these have been sitting in a warehou.... wait all these digital copies have expiry dates let's peek:



ok so these have been warehoused since BEFORE 2018-2019. If anyone wants any mass market br releases that deemed unsellable for $5 a pop check your local winco, then check it again. the stock rotates fast.

Yeah it's just a little 2-sided rack by the checkouts at mine.

I don't know if its a local management thing offloading their own glut of inventory or what, or if national, but if so, it's already got proven walmart 2nds in it and that's fine by me. I will eat up the glop munch munch munch munch

a US employee-owned grocery chain that does some pretty decent pricing deals and product select. I like it a lot. it's like, in my mind, somewhere in the space between a typical kroger/safeway type grocery store, and a costco. In between somewhere.

i guess it's a west coast thing?
