Yes, today at my local Walmart (which has a small entertainment section) I saw...

Balto, Balto: Wolf Quest and Balto: Wings of Change.

No, I didn't buy any of them, as I have Balto already, and I refuse to watch any of the sequels... Basically, this is a heads-up to anyone who has been having trouble finding the videos. GO TO WALMART!!

Ohhh crap!!!!!!!!! I had to get Balto and Balto 2 WQ at amazon. Only because my local WalMart didn't have them when I tried to buy Balto 3. Stupid WalMart!!!! . Anyways, thanks for the info.

I know that there's a Walmart close to me, but I don't know how to get there    So I might as well buy it online, like I did with my Avril Lavgine DVD

I had to order B3 off the net, the Walmart close to me in another town not far away. It's not that they didn't carry it, it was all sold out in 1 day, ONE DAY!

shdrex -> if you have a credit card, you should order the Balto 3 DVD from a european online store (for example, DVDzone2 : http://www.dvdzone2.com/dvd/detail.asp?id=135370 or Amazon.de, Amazon.fr ...)

I don't think there are Walmarts stores anywhere else but in the USA, so that's why we (non american) don't know what it is.
Since Balto 3 came out in France, I often see the first Balto or WQ just next to the B3 DVDs. And yet, I never saw any Balto before Balto 3 came out...(I had to order Balto 1 & 2 from the web)

TLW27 -> why not trying to rent B3 once...You have nothing to lose (except one or two dollars for the rent), and you might find it better than you thought. Most fans of the original like it...
I suppose it was not a pack? And what was the price for each? (15$?)

You mean that they sold all the stock of B3 they had in one day?...That probably means that they didn't furnished enough to the stores. Once more, we see the little interest that Universal have in that license. They had very little stock in France when it came out (and it was nearly unfindable the first week of the release), but then they furnished a lot more to the stores.

To me, it's not the quality of the movie, per se, it's the fact that I personally feel Balto had a perfectly conclusive close, and I don't want to spoil it. Not that I have anything against those who do enjoy the movies, I just don't want to participate in them.
