Character Building The Girl Who Waited Mini Set
The Doctor takes Amy and Rory to visit Apalapucia, not realising that the planet has been struck by a plague deadly to Timelords.
When he and Rory are separated from Amy and stuck in separate timestreams, the Doctor must stay in the safety of the TARDIS – both he and Amy relying on Rory to save her.
In a new timestream, Rory meets Old Amy, hardened by the time she’s been waiting to be rescued.
When the Doctor finds a way to save Amy, at Old Amy’s expense, she refuses to help – until she remembers her love for Rory and the connection they shared.
Highly detailed, double sided Character Building Doctor Who construction playset featuring sliding door and Handbot micro-figure. For ages 5 years and over.

July 27th, 2012 - 1:02pmThis set looks great, I’ll definately be picking it up as soon as I can. The Handbot figure looks cool too!
The Driver
July 27th, 2012 - 7:46pmI know!
tom turner
July 27th, 2012 - 12:36pmI am ordering it today from character options so exited and it is really cool
The Time Lord of Doom
July 27th, 2012 - 12:08pmCool pictures! 🙂 I must say, the Handbot looks impressive. I really want this mini-set, it’s the best set so far! 😀
Give me a Dalek any day
July 27th, 2012 - 11:35amNice pictures! The Handbot looks really good. 😀 I must try and get this set at some point. 🙂
booboo
July 27th, 2012 - 11:43amthis is a very good set, well worth it, the other 2 are a bit disappointing for the money because of the lack of new figures, especially as my two came with series 1 Amy’s
Give me a Dalek any day
July 27th, 2012 - 1:08pmYeah, I’m not keen on the others. To be honest, I’m not really keen on the mega sets this year. Not after the *shudders* TARDIS Interior mega set.
Rooners
July 27th, 2012 - 1:31pmAgreed – this is by far the best set….I still picked up the other two sets. The Berlin set has good props and the TARDIS set…well I couldnt resist a materialising TARDIS 🙂 Shame about the figures though.
Dalek Sec
July 29th, 2012 - 10:25amWhats so bad about the TARDIS Interior Mega Set, i was goin to get it, but i choose the Dalek Factory instead. Is it wobbly and unstable?
Give me a Dalek any day
July 29th, 2012 - 10:48amYes, it’s very wobbly and unstable. Mine has stayed in the same place since September, and that was all I needed to put me off getting the rest of the mega sets. I have been tempted at times to buy some mega sets, but the only CB stuff I get now is micro figures and the mini sets.
booboo
July 29th, 2012 - 10:55amIt was updated with mores stable walls but if you can pick one up for 12.50 at Argos its an absolute bargain

July 27th, 2012 - 11:35amif you slide the door dose that mean that the door has disapered like i the episode
booboo
July 27th, 2012 - 11:36amyes its actually the whole back half that slides
BOOBOO JR

BOOBOO JR
July 26th, 2012 - 6:03pmAlright. Can you keep an eye on the time as you build them, I’d like to know how long it takes to build each one.

July 26th, 2012 - 6:49pmBOOBOO JR this is back in stock on Character’s Website.
Wouldyoulikeajellybaby?
July 26th, 2012 - 12:31pmSaw this in FP Cambrigde yesterday didn’t buy it though. 🙁
BOOBOO JR
July 26th, 2012 - 12:36pmYour joking! I went to FP in Cambridge on Tuesday looking for this set and the VOTD Collectors Set, they didn’t have that too did they?
Wouldyoulikeajellybaby?
July 26th, 2012 - 1:44pmNo they only had one of this Two of The Doctor In Berlin and Two Dematerialising TARDIS Mini Sets.
BOOBOO JR
July 25th, 2012 - 10:02amYou may have already seen, but this and the other two new Mini-Sets are now in stock at Character – http://www.character-online.com/products/Character-Building/Doctor-Who/
booboo
July 25th, 2012 - 10:03amyes i ordered those yesterday
BOOBOO JR
July 25th, 2012 - 10:06amI was going to order the Girl who Waited Set, but that’s the only one that’s out of stock!
booboo
July 25th, 2012 - 10:07amthey must have run out after i ordered, it was bound to be the most popular one
BOOBOO JR
July 25th, 2012 - 10:12amIt definately looks the best out of the three. I’m definately going to get this one, but might wait until the price comes down to get the other two.
Jonathan
July 25th, 2012 - 6:07pmI got mine yesterday from a seller on E bay, it’s fantastic, and one of those column’s beside the door is now taking pride of place beside my custom master figure
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 25th, 2012 - 8:49pmYou can get the Girl who Waited set on amazon, the cheapest price is £11.45, and you can get all three in a set for £31.99. I think getting that set from amazon would work out cheaper because of the packaging on character. It’s also on Forbiddenplanet, altogether for £11.99. If you are desperate, then BOOBOO JR I would go for amazon! Hope that helps!
SilenceWillFall CB Style
July 26th, 2012 - 6:27pmIN STOCK ON CHARACTER IF WANTED 😀
BOOBOO JR
July 21st, 2012 - 9:34amDoes Argos have these in stock, seeing as they’re in stock at FP and Amazon?
Give me a Dalek any day
July 21st, 2012 - 9:58amI don’t think so. Nobodys mentioned it so far, but if Amazon have it in stock then I’ll definitely get it. 😀
Give me a Dalek any day
July 21st, 2012 - 10:01am🙁 The only way to get this set on Amazon is with the other two. 🙁 🙁 🙁
booboo
July 21st, 2012 - 10:02amArgos don’t have the mini sets
Ronronron
July 21st, 2012 - 1:50pmSellers are selling them individually on Amazon. But the price slightly goes up the fewer they have left. On a plus side postage for UK buyers is still free.
Give me a Dalek any day
July 22nd, 2012 - 12:53pmOh yes, I noticed that, but saw that it was listed as The Doctor in Berlin set and thought it was just the wrong picture. Since there is already another Berlin set with the right picture, I will now buy this set.
Thanks for letting me know! 🙂
Ronronron
July 20th, 2012 - 11:14pmBoth this and the other two now appear to be listed on Amazon by one of its sellers, each is about £10.50 each but postage for buyers in the UK is free.

RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 17th, 2012 - 4:37pmi might have to save up and get this. it better not be too expensive!
Bigger on the Inside
July 17th, 2012 - 4:46pm£10 like he others! I think it’s quite cheap!
The SherlockianWhovian
July 17th, 2012 - 8:22pm£10 is REALLY cheap! If it were LEGO it’d be more like 20! Saying that for this particular set I would spend arounf £20 anyway!
Bigger on the Inside
July 18th, 2012 - 7:00pmMe too! Love this and at least we can get a new figure before next year, and the handbot is one of my favourite figs anyway!

July 17th, 2012 - 1:06pmoh… i think it would be cool to try and do something like that. Have you ever heard of batmanmarch??? he was in the dwm magazine about a year ago. he’s really good. It was thanks to him that i started my own films.
imaginethatnodoor
July 17th, 2012 - 1:07pmThen again… i started reading dwm because of this site. so in a way its thanks to the doctor who site 🙂

Dalek Sec
July 19th, 2012 - 8:18amIts ironic as there are 3 Series 2 CB figs i don’t have, (not counting the vampire, i’m not really fond of it) as ABC shops and comic stores don’t supply them anymore. 😐
Daff
July 19th, 2012 - 10:04ammy best guess is because big chains like tesco are being tight asses, i managed to finish my series 2 collection (bar police amy) because argos are selling the figures for 79p now!! They even have the tardis console playroom set for £12.50!! and i paid £25 for it about 2 weeks ago so that’s really pissed me off. but it beats paying friggin £50 for it!
Im picking up the dalek factory today for £12 purely so i can get the orange dalek (and that just leaves me with a blue one to get
Give me a Dalek any day

The SherlockianWhovian
July 16th, 2012 - 8:01pmBest of these new sets. The others are bad/innacurate and this is just brilliant!
The SherlockianWhovian
July 16th, 2012 - 9:41pmAlso I’d love it if on the other side of the magnifying glass it was aged Amy or Rory in Glasses!
Give me a Dalek any day
July 16th, 2012 - 5:24pmThis is easily the best set out of the new stuff. No, sorry, this IS the best CB Doctor Who set yet! How could you hate this set???!!??? And it comes with a Handbot! 😀
Anonymous

Judooning
July 16th, 2012 - 12:37pmLove the Handbot figure! And the 2 sided set is a cool idea!
SirRoundSound
July 16th, 2012 - 12:35pmAh cool, could they possibly be in the new Argos catalogue, if so, I will wait till a fair few things are announced and go back to the UK to get them, and bring them back over here, would be cool 🙂
