    My exclusive addition was due for delivery today, pre-ordered in plenty of time, and now I have just checked and it says delivery date to be confirmed… as if it is out of stock or something like that, Mildly concerning

    The space between me hearing that this existed and me pre ordering it was about 20 seconds. This is my favourite missing story.

    Although this one seems more interesting, I try not to give Amazon money unless necessary.

      Amazon have always had The Dalek Etching. As these have no Etching , its all down to what the Vinyl looks like.

      even if Skaro Swirl looked little like the promo image 🙂 Snow Blizzard sounds great though, than White.
