Warner Home Video has sued the "disc destruction" company IWMB for $10 million USD, claiming that the company was not destroying the DVDs and Blu-rays as promised, and instead selling them for full profit.
The company has a contract in place to destroy excess title inventory caused by retail returns of unsold movies, but instead, alleges Warner, they sell the movies at below market prices ... [ read the full article ]

Ok.. I'm quite certain this is how BIG LOTS got all of their recent $3/$6 TV sets. In the last couple of weeks I've managed to pick up the following:
1)Tales From the Crypt Seasons 1-6 = $3 each
2)Flintstones Seasons 1-5 = $3 each
3)Thundercats Season 2 both sets = $6 each
4)Josie and the Pussycats Complete Series = $3
5)Birdman and the Galaxy Trio = $3
6)Adventures of Superman Seasons 1-4 = $3 each
7)Dastardly and Muttley Complete Series = $3
8)Wacky Races Complete Series = $3
9)Joey Season 1 = $6
10)Challenge of the SuperFriends Seasons 1 = $6 each
11)Superfriends LegendarySuper Powers Show Complete = $3
12)Top Cat Complete Series = $3
13)Jonny Quest Season 1 = $3
14)Huckelberry Hound Volume 1= $3
15)Smallville Season 7 Blu-ray = $6
16)NipTuck Season 4 Blu-ray = $6
17)Justice League Season 1 Blu-ray = $6
18)Blade: The Complete Series - $6
I know I picked up a few others, drawing a blank right now. I spent roughly $120.00 for all of these shows, brand new at Big Lots. All of these added up on Best Buy's website comes to more than $1,100.00!! :) :)
There were quite a few others out there, but I wasn't fortunate enough to find them. Still, made out pretty nicely on these. If this was due to that company's screw up, I hope it happens again!! :)

And these were all Blu-ray's ?
No... just the ones that I marked as "blu-ray".
There were other sets as well.. that I forgot to mention. They had all of the Pinky and the Brain sets and Animaniacs for $6 as well. The Complete Wonder Woman series (3 seasons boxed together) for $6!! Also the Looney Tunes Golden Collection (5 volumes) for $10 total. I was never able to find the Wonder Woman or Looney Tunes though. Now the Big Lots seemed to have dried up!?
ffs.. I love pinkie and the brain .. we never see it over here. cartoon network (pay) bought everything and now we never get any of our classics either.
It's a cultural desert these days.. no animated mindless violence for kids.
I'll do you a deal for pinkie and the brain Rick.. not allowed to offer invites but pm me yeah?
hotdotdog, WMB was obligated to destroy the disks. It is just the media mafia are such pigs! They don't have a shred of decency in the entire organization. I wouldn't feel bad if something seriously terrible happened to one or all of them.
Yes, the destruction company was wrong... but at least this showed what the market is willing to pay for these discs. And if WB would take notice of this then they would have less discs to send to them for destruction.
EEE31, I am sure they knew that already. They just don't want to give anyone a break. That is one of the reasons we call them the media mafia. They are a bit evil and are not as much into making a profit as sticking to the public. That is what they enjoy.
