Are we getting the DWA feature this?
Posted by: Mr Byzantium June 18th, 2013
i dont think we can because everyone gets it tomorrow now: no early subscriber issues
Posted by: Mr Byzantium June 18th, 2013
I have some tech-y questions!!
First one for booboo:
How do you get white clear backgrounds for your photos?????
Second, for anyone that makes figure trailers
Where do you get clips and music for custom trailers?
Some people have said dvds before but you can’t get stuff off them right?
PLEASE HELP

Hi guys. I have about £40 and I’m also getting something for my good report card. But I’m wanting to catch up on Classics (I’m quite new to it, never really liked it up until recently). I’m interested on some Classic Figure Sets and DVD’s. What does anyone recommend?
Posted by: Anonymous June 18th, 2013
i am the same as you, i only recently started getting interest in the classic range
the only stuff i have is:
Figures: Ice Warrior 5/5 Amazing Figure
Mummy: 4/5 Not Bad but a bit Basic
Sea Devil: 4/5 Quite Good but netting can be annoying
DVDs:
Genesis of the Daleks: 5/5 VERY Good
(and I am asking for ‘regeneration’ for my birthday)
So basically, i am quite useless here. But the few things i have are very good. Personally, I would buy any of them or the regeneration boxset of amazon where it is £36
Also, you may want to note that some of the
Posted by: Mr Byzantium June 18th, 2013
(continued) older classic figure (2008/9 time) are quite rare
So that’s me, but i guess someone else would give you better advice
But out of my stuff, I love it all and there is not one of the 4 things I regret buying
Thanks for Reading,
Mr B

Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
do for example doctor who:the movie SE and caves of androzani SE only come with the revisitation boxset or can you get them seperate? also is the revisitation boxset 1-3 good?
Posted by: 76 Totters Lane June 18th, 2013
You can get them separate, but they are of a lower quality with less special features than the revisitations ones. And yes, all three box sets are very good.
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
super! Just ordered them and i was just checking they are good
Posted by: Ramalamadingdong June 18th, 2013
I have a dapol 35th anniversary limited addition figure set, how much do you think it would be worth?
Posted by: booboo June 18th, 2013
its one of the rarest sets, very much depends on condition, cant find any recent sales to give a value but Dapol doesn’t seem to fetching what it did
Posted by: eddy June 18th, 2013
UP TO £100, DOES DEPEND ON CONDTION LIKE BOOBOO SAID (sorry about caps)
Posted by: The Supreme Dalek June 18th, 2013
Up to £100?! I don’t really like Dapol, so I would definetaly have sold that! That’s a lot!
Posted by: the mr master June 18th, 2013
are the magazines that come with a figure out yet?
http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/official-figurine-collection-test-area-01-the-eleventh-doctor/
if they are can i have a link
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
i think they are out at the end of the year or the start of the next. Or not at all if the test set didn’t do well
Posted by: Radburn June 19th, 2013
That 11th Doctor may be come a rarity with Matt Smith leaving?
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
i’m thinking of buying some classic DVD’s so what do you recomend i should buy (i am allowed up to 10 as i have £60.00)
Posted by: josh smith June 18th, 2013
i can help you
u should get:
attack of the cybermen
vengeance on varos
inferno
key to time boxset
planet of the spiders
the Aztecks
planet of giants
mara tales boxset
Posted by: josh smith June 18th, 2013
u can get them cheep on amazon
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
i already have 3 of those (inferno, vengeace on varos and the aztecs) but i am seriously considering attack of the cybermen, planet of the spiders and key to time box set, is it good the key to time box set?
Posted by: josh smith June 18th, 2013
key to time boxset is amazing!. Mary Tamm is fantastic!. tom baker is Excellent and is tom bakers best season.
2 other good stories i missed are:
new beginnings boxset
the two doctors
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
thanks
i think i will definately be getting key to time boxset now 
Posted by: josh smith June 18th, 2013
do u own trial of a time lord boxset by any chance?
that is also amazing. but very sad RIP peri
Posted by: Scott the Raptor June 18th, 2013
I don’t like The Key to Time.
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
no, i’m not sure i will get it because as much as i like Colin Baker it just sounds a bit boring. But i can’t judge i haven’t even seen it. I think the next thing i will get along with the key to time boxset will be ‘revisitations boxset 1-3′ as you get talons of weng chang and people say thats a great story and i can’t find it anywhere and it has some very good other storys in it too
Posted by: The Greater Intelligence June 18th, 2013
I think it is an amazing set of stories, ‘The Trial Of A Time Lord’ was 4amazing stories under one continuities theme and the second story (Parts 5-8: Mindwarp) is my favorite Colin Baker story.
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
i have decided that i will get:
the key to time boxset (£28.00)
Revisitations 1 (£12.99)
revisitations 2 (£17.49)
revisitations 3 (£16.99)
so just a little bit over £60.00 but it is my birthday in august so i will be able to pay it off then and get more DVD’s and hopefully some figures!!
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
just baught them all from BBC shop, should come by friday
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
thats key to time and revisitations 1-3 that i just baught, there was a note before saying what i was buying and the prices but i must have used a moderation word so it will take a while to come through (i just said all this so this message will come through again but i used another moderation word
)
Posted by: drjakeyoung June 18th, 2013
You could get the key to time and the regeneration box set?
Posted by: trenzalore June 18th, 2013
no, the revisitations boxsets have more of a veriety and i haven’t seen any of them whearas the regeneration boxset has a theme and i have seen some of them

Booboo I sent you an update for my collection, But I know you haven’t been too well recently so dont worry about it.
Posted by: booboo June 18th, 2013
yes i have loads to do and have got far behind, will catch up when i can
Posted by: the astroanut of death June 18th, 2013
booboo is it true that they are cutting down on the new fx daleks
Posted by: booboo June 18th, 2013
as far as i know its just 4 now, don’t know which ones, i hope the chase and special weapons are still in the line up
Posted by: The Supreme Dalek June 18th, 2013
I hope that the Special Weapons and Ironside are still in the wave!
Posted by: Tardis’nt June 18th, 2013
I can’t believe they’d! do this
Why would you want the ironside to be in the wave (no offence) it’s been released many times with 3 (4 if you include rc) variants.
I just hope they include the chase, destiny, dead planet and invasion Earth supreme
Posted by: booboo June 18th, 2013
to me it seems the big retailers didn’t want wave 2 so they have been taken up by underground toys so are likely to be exclusive to FP in the UK
I have no idea why the mix has been cut down but the chase Dalek was bound to be the biggest seller but they may opt for army builders
Posted by: josh smith June 18th, 2013
i hope they get rid of all the supream daleks. i want
destiny (dalek)
dead planet (dlaek)
ironside (dalek)
and genisis (dalek)
Posted by: The Supreme Dalek June 18th, 2013
I want the Ironside because my one is damaged and none of my local shops sell them anymore (only Smilers and Francesco the Vampires!).
Posted by: The Greater Intelligence June 18th, 2013
I hope they keep:
Special Weapons Dalek (Remembrance)
Guard Dalek (The Chase)
Supreme Dalek (Invasion)
and Destiny Dalek (but only if it is Suicide Dalek)
Posted by: The Monitor June 18th, 2013
It is timing I suppose. I struggled to get a set at launch – took about 15 Argos trips. Then a few months later, any shop selling what little Who they bother with, are selling FX daleks, and by that time, to whom…
I am still seeing shops stuck with stock. Worst example was an old fashion toy shop I visited in Kent still with Doctor Who items from 3-4 years ago; full price as new.
Posted by: The Supreme Dalek June 18th, 2013
Does anyone know if you can play as Amy in the Adventure Games (except from The Gunpowder Plot)?
Posted by: Tardis’nt June 18th, 2013
I believe you have to in all of the games
Posted by: The Supreme Dalek June 18th, 2013

Posted by: the astronaut of death June 17th, 2013
booboo is it true the regeneration box set is limited to 1000 because if so do you think it will sell out fast
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
If it were just a 1000 i would have thought they would have sold out already
Posted by: josh smith June 17th, 2013
its 100,000
Posted by: the astronaut of death June 17th, 2013
few I was getting panicky there
loads of posts below say it is 1000
Posted by: drjakeyoung June 17th, 2013
it is 1000. Although i would of thought they would have sold out by now.
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
we have all the up to date info including the book and nowhere does it say its just a 1000 – it does say over a 1000 minutes of Doctor Who footage.
Posted by: drjakeyoung June 17th, 2013
It says “with 1000 copy’s available, this box set is not available outside Europe”.
Unless it’s a typo.
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
that article is all their own wording – we have all the official releases here and nowhere does it give a figure
we have asked them though so may be we will find out
Posted by: josh smith June 18th, 2013
its limited to 100,000 just in the UK
Posted by: the astronaut of death June 18th, 2013
im pretty sure it is 100,000
Posted by: Dalek Smith June 17th, 2013
booboo would it be possible if somewhere on the site you put something up tomorrow saying it is 40 years since roger delgado died
Posted by: Dalek Smith June 17th, 2013
oh that is why i have changed my gravitar for today and tomorrow only. to pay tribute to such an incredible actor
Posted by: josh smith June 17th, 2013
he died in a car crash in turkey
Posted by: Dalek Smith June 17th, 2013
i know it would have been amazing if he lived on, he might still be around today. R.I.P Roger you’ll be in our hearts forever
Posted by: josh smith June 17th, 2013
but i do really like ainley
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
much as i would like to we cant really cover every anniversary as such, we did do an article when he 1st appeared
for the record i though he was brilliant in part
Posted by: josh smith June 17th, 2013
yes he was very good
wait a mo. there could be a special figure for him
Posted by: Dalek Smith June 17th, 2013
oh yes ainley was very good as well but again sadly he is not with us.
Posted by: josh smith June 17th, 2013
really? when did Ainley die
Posted by: Scott the Raptor June 17th, 2013
Back in 2003.
Posted by: Dalek Smith June 17th, 2013

In the photo banner for the merchandise page on this site, what is the first dalek to the left ( the blue one ) from? Who made it?
Posted by: eddy June 17th, 2013
think it is a chase guard dalek, they are one of my faviourites
Posted by: Exterminator June 17th, 2013
Thank you eddy. Was it a character options action figure?
Posted by: trenzalore June 17th, 2013
no, it’s going to be in the dalek wave 2 sold at argos (not yet though)
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
Argos? are you sure
Thought these were a FP exclusive now
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
yes its the chase guard Dalek supposedly in the SFX wave 2 although we dont know for sure now
Posted by: trenzalore June 17th, 2013
i assumed they may be at argos cos the last wave was. I realy hope they are at argos i only thaught the special weapons dalek was exclusive to fp
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
the wave has been taken up by underground toys (suggests large UK retailers weren’t interested in a second wave) so i am assuming they will all be a FP exclusive now
Posted by: trenzalore June 17th, 2013
AAWWW!!!
oh well, my nearest fp is 4 bus rides away (leeds) but i know some people don’t have and fp at all. But i will be trying to get them all hopefully
Posted by: josh smith June 17th, 2013
yh cause in toys r us they still has lodes f dalek invasion of earth and power daleks 5 dyas ago.
Posted by: Exterminator June 17th, 2013
Thanks for helping guys. If they do release this one, I’ll definitely buy it.
Posted by: drjakeyoung June 17th, 2013
Just to say that the regeneration box set will be released 1 week today, and it’s only limited to 1000 copy’s!
Posted by: eddy June 17th, 2013
bit expensive for me with a few dvds, but will see how it goes, are you getting one?
Posted by: josh smith June 17th, 2013
im not i only have £100
Posted by: the astronaut of death June 17th, 2013
it is limited to 100,000 not 1000
Posted by: drjakeyoung June 17th, 2013
Yes i am getting one. The astronaut of death, it is 1000, as geekmom . com say it is just 1000. What website says 100,000?
Posted by: the astronaut of death June 17th, 2013
it is just that john smith told me it was 100,000 and booboo said that they should be all sold out now if it is 1000
Posted by: the astronaut of death June 17th, 2013
well there’s a chance that might be wrong because as booboo said it they would have all probably sold out by now if it is 1000
Posted by: trenzalore June 17th, 2013
what does ‘shelved’ mean cos i asked a question about wheather i should get the vengeance on varos set (sil and peri) and booboo said ‘it’s a shame it’s been shelved’ and then everyone seems surprised by that. So what does it mean?
Posted by: drjakeyoung June 17th, 2013
It means it will not be produced at the moment, so the idea is “shelved” until they think they should use it again. Also, have you got my emails?
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
i thought you were talking about the 11 doctors set
Posted by: trenzalore June 17th, 2013
oh right, i understand what it is. And booboo, i wrote down 3 (11 doc, vov, resurrection) i thaught you were talking about vov
so it is infact the 11 doc set thats been shelved, thats a shame hopefully we will get a 12 doc set 
Posted by: The Silent Silent June 17th, 2013
Any news on the 4th rory figure
?
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
i dont think there is one, the one people have seen seems to be made of parts from others

I’m not sure if you already have them, but I’d recommend Enemies of the Third Doctor set (£45), The Keeper of Traken set (£40)and The Seventh Doctor (£15).

For Christmas (2012) I was given the ‘Trans Temporal Screwdriver’
(http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/doctor-who-trans-temporal-sonic-screwdriver/)
So I got it for Christmas, and I had no problems
Then, about Feburary/March Time, it wouldn’t work
I tried replacing the batteries, but it still faulted
I haven’t done anything since
Is this common with this toy?
And can I still complain to Character?
Would they send me another?
Thanks,
Dr WHO
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
yes, its faulty then send/take it back to where it was bought
Posted by: CG June 17th, 2013

Whoops I meant the 6 set of the 3.75 figures
Posted by: booboo June 17th, 2013
