Managed to get one of these off a mate for £30 which isn’t too bad, £10 a figure and the extorcionate prices they are going for on Ebay, so I think I got a quite good deal there, Looking forward to it coming through the post, I did have one but sold it due to me needing funds, but it will be nice to have another set and this tiem to keep

do you get cybermats with ‘tomb’ cyberman? just asking.
Posted by: who crazy! September 24th, 2010
You are right anonyomous. If you have the cybercontroler with chair and cyber guards you dont need to read this comment. You can only recreate the scenes with the cybercontroler chasing the doctor, rose and pete tyler. But with the throne and the cyber guards, its diffrent.
Posted by: Anonymous September 24th, 2010
what was the point inculouding the cyber controller hes nothing with out the chair and the could of but dalek sec or a cyber man
Posted by: Trial Timelord September 2nd, 2010
I paid £17 at a convention for this last month it was worth it.
Posted by: Emperor Omega July 17th, 2010
Why did they never appear in the Ipswich area? That’s what I wanna know! I wanted to get the Series 1, Series 3 and Cyberman Box sets.

Posted by: Joe April 11th, 2010
Yeah can’t tell you about these because i wernt luck inuff to get em all
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. March 20th, 2010
Its a real shame my tesco stop selling these and there was never ever ANY appearance from the ages of steel set. Ah well, the desires of my heart have moved on and their attention wanders to other things…….
Posted by: Ryan Williams February 5th, 2010
I’ve got loads of money at the moment and as there £10/£7.50 I will try to get series 3 and cyberman set
Posted by: 1 January 23rd, 2010
they have been discontinued that’s what it says on tesco’s website
Posted by: timelord01 January 14th, 2010
the sycorax looks AWESOME
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. January 12th, 2010
They reduced again? As Davros once said, “Better still!”
Posted by: korwin January 11th, 2010
These have now been reduced to £7.50 in some stores
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. January 11th, 2010
But at £10, ill still buy it. Just for Jack.
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. January 11th, 2010
Its a shame they didnt release afew Toclafane with the Series 3 pack. It doesn`t sell too well, believ me some people arent fussed on Korwin and the Time Lord.
Afew Toclafane would have helped that.
And Captain Jack is the real nectar in the flower, a half decent metaphor, but the huge hands i see are still causing trouble.
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. January 11th, 2010
Oh, your really lucky, hatty.
The Cybermen have not appeared in my Tesco yet, but the Series 123 have.
Tell me, if you can, how much did the Age of Steel cost? £20? I must be careful with my money, because when its gone Im in a bit of trouble because my parents dont believe in bying figures, or “dollies” as they call them.
Hopefully, they may be just a tenner, like the other things.
If thats the case then heres what i have to say: EXcellent.
Posted by: booboo January 10th, 2010
There is a gun inside the packaging, yes
Posted by: 1 January 10th, 2010
does the invasion cyberman come with a gun hatty
Posted by: Hatty January 10th, 2010
Finally managed to get these and at £10 a pack a real bargain, i got 4 Cybermen packs so i now have a cyber army , Great
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. January 9th, 2010
What i find strange is that they were left on the shelves during the withrawl. And DrwhoToys.net, a really great place, said they would be returned to full price.
Which dissapointed me a littel, but it was still good to hear i had another chance. Then when they were returned to availability again, they were still ten pounds!
This by all means is outrageous, but i darent complain because it meant i got them for christmas, were as if they hadnt been on recall i would have bought them the minute i saw them, and i got the m for just a tenner!
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. January 9th, 2010
Time for a decently sized comment.
Series 1 and 2 are the best, unless you already have the figures ofcourse. But here is what i dont get, a sycorax? The Christmas Invasion may have been in 2005, but if it belongs to any season i reckon its series 2, David Tennant is the Doctor and its part of the Series 2 dvds.
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. January 9th, 2010
Alright, thats it! No more giant comments or thousand word essays form this moment forward!
I ought to delete that story, infact i hope this website does!
Oh im so ashamed!!!
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. January 9th, 2010
Heres the uplifting and compelling tale of me, McGann is The Doctor, and the three tesco sets. A long time ago i saw theses sets and couldnt believe what wonderful desirable things lay before my eyes! Dr Who figures! In store! NO persuading my parents for their credit cards, no clicking and typing no postage and packaging just the girl at the till, the wallet, the receipt and the trip back home.
It was great. I took a good look at them, there werent many, all the little bitty children were having a look at them like fish to a…..piece of food? Not the best metaphor, or is it a simaly? And me being so cautious imagined theyd be sold out by tommorow, I had to buy one, NOW. This was an emergency, my chance as a Whovian to buy some stuff!
It was easy choosing which one to choose, the series 3 pack ofcourse! Ive always wanted a Hoix. I grabbed the series 2 box, its mine! All mine! As the Master once said in Logopolis. I rushed to the till as Captain Jack had rushed to the Tardis in the opening scene to Utopia.
I got there, i didnt even know if i had any money in me wallet! Fished out my wallet, two tenners and about seven pounds. Yeah. AND THEN, sorry theyre on product recall.o_o……………you cant buy them….o_o…..what? I payed no attention to whatever this silly blonde woman was trying to tell me. There must be something wrong with her. What did you say and what does it mean? bla bla bla she explained. Well what do you mean i cant buy them? I REALLY WANT THEM!!! Sorry love y’cant, ther on product recall.
It means theres somethin wrong with em. You mean like lead poisoning? I asked. Yeh. she replied. Ah shrimp. You son of a biscuit! for ducks sake! Honest to dog. I thought to myself, only a little more offensive than that. So that was that, but a while later i discovered they were still in store, yes! I went to buy them, fished out the wallet, two tenners still. I went to a different till this time, i wont be seeing that stingy blonde villain again. But no, product recall.
It turned out on Dr Who toys.net that it was every where, and we would have to wait. But then that warning went away, which means theyre available! And i got them for Christmas, series 1 and series 2. AnD he Hoix is by far my favourite monster figure. Thank you for reading my story, if you did. But after writing this i realise just how incredibly inappropriate it was to write a detailed story in an online comment section, what was i thinking?!
I just hope its not as bad a move as i think it is! I need to stop taking up so much space in the comment section, dr who site dot com, forgive me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: masterofall December 18th, 2009
i think the series 1 and 2 sets are a waste of time. the series 3 set is spectacular and i have it ready for friday (7 DAYS TILL XMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Posted by: ? December 18th, 2009
I can’t wait to get mine next friday
Posted by: drwhofan1 December 18th, 2009
I finally got my series 3 set yesterday – Korwin looks amazing! It’s also nice to have an uncoated Jack as all of his figure so far has come with a coat.
Posted by: ? December 12th, 2009
I’ve now got 1 and 3 for Xmas
Posted by: Harry December 12th, 2009
I would like the boxs 1 and 2 because they are the best.
Posted by: Korwin December 9th, 2009
Finally got mine, ordered 6 on buy 2 get one free deal and ended up with sets 1,2 and 3 and 3 cyberman sets, couldn’t be better and what a bargain at less than £7 a set.
I do think this has been very poorly handled by Tesco though, there must be people that want juts set 3 for example but you cant specify which one you want form Tesco direct and a lot of Tescos stores don’t have them to sell.
Posted by: Anonymous December 8th, 2009
Finally! Had to go to the next town to get them as local Tesco didn’t have them. Nicely presented sets and great value as back to a tenner a set. Shame it took so long.
Posted by: Anonymous December 6th, 2009
me too – just shows how much contempt they have for their loyal customers – put something out on the shelves – realise they’re flogging it at the wrong price – put out a false emengency withdrawal to cover it up implying Character Options had produced something unsafe – refuse to sell it to those who picked them up in good faith – leave some of the shelves so their customers have to go through the embarrassment of being refused at the checkout yet again – flog them on their website at twice the price while those who managed to get them flog them for four times the price on ebay – suddenly the extra 5 minutes it takes me to get to Morrisons for my groceries doesn’t seem that bad
Posted by: Please Tesco December 5th, 2009
Please Mr Tesco I have been into 3 different stores and found them on the shelf and 3 times you wont sell them to me but other Tescos stores not near me will sell them.
I only want to spend my money with you.
Posted by: booboo December 1st, 2009
Hal was his first name
Posted by: doctorwhomad December 1st, 2009
I’d like to know something. Why is the Korwin figure called HAL Korwin. Why hal? His name is Korwin. Where does thehal come into it? Thanks.
Posted by: ? October 30th, 2009
I think they need to do a figure set called
The Old Doctor Who’s.
Set 1: Susan, The First Doctor and Supreme Dalek
Set 2: The Second Doctor (fur coat), Jamie and Ice Warrior
Set 3: The Third Doctor (Planet of the Daleks) , Jo and Bessie
Set 4: The Fourth Doctor (new version), Sarah Jane, Styre
What do you think?
Posted by: drwhofan1 October 27th, 2009
On the Tesco Direct website they’ve got the Series 2 set for £20.00 and it seems to be in stock – so hopefully the other sets will start to return to all the Tesco stores soon.
Posted by: Zog63 October 20th, 2009
I got a very nice reply from the Customer Service Manager at Tesco saying their Business Support Team advise they’re awaiting a new launch of these figures. She also advises she couldn’t find a reason why they were taken off the shelves but confirmed it was possible it could be the trading law issue I had suggested (where the full price has to be charged for 28 days before it can be advertised as a sale item). She says there’s no indication when the launch date will be or what the price will be but would let me know if she finds out.
So no new info really but at least they’re acknowledging the issue.
Posted by: booboo October 19th, 2009
Yes please let us know what it says. there are lots of interested people here
last I heard the entire lot was having to be re-packaged
Posted by: Zog63 October 19th, 2009
just had an acknowledgement to my complaint letter to Tesco’s advising they’ll be in touch soon with an explanation – this’ll be interesting
Posted by: Juddon Master October 15th, 2009
Yeah but we do need a series 4 set
Posted by: john October 14th, 2009
sold 3 entire sets and added a complete set to my vast collection of figures
tesco had these on special only for a limited time
Posted by: flyer October 12th, 2009
the reason for the removal of the four sets is that the items were priced at £20 down to £10 but they should have been priced up as £19.99 so all stock were taken off shelves??(and into staffs baskets as a toy reduction scan ticket) and all stores are waiting for the memo from Head office and when we get it all of the items will probably go into the skips – as tesco cant be bothered to get the items sent back to the suppliers
Posted by: booboo October 10th, 2009
yes, i wish someone would tell us exactly what the problem is with these. I like many others just want to buy them.
Posted by: THE SEEKER42 October 10th, 2009
Why do I get my hopes up!?
Posted by: Zog63 October 10th, 2009
If there really was a hazard they would have to have notices up in the shops asking people to return the ones that had sold already.
Posted by: booboo October 10th, 2009
Its a strange situation, they are cropping up on ebay all the time, you would think Tesco would clarify the situation, there have been many disappointed people.
Posted by: Zog63 October 10th, 2009
I was told at the counter that it was scanning as Emergency Product Withdrawal and both times the staff member said it usually means the product is hazardous. Can’t think why – I’m still betting on the trading standards situation with the pricing issue.
Posted by: booboo October 9th, 2009
Seriously? that’s the first i have heard of that, i thought they had been withdrawn because they hadn’t been on sale at the higher price.
Posted by: Chris666eden October 9th, 2009
Ive Found Out That These Have Been Withdrawn FOR GOOD Because it is dangerous.
What??? Dangerous
How Are These Figures Dangerous
I Hope This Is Not True But My Tescos Hasnt Even Got A Name Tag saying these sets
theres not even any doctor who toys in my tescos
Posted by: Zog63 October 6th, 2009
I found a Korwin set on the shelves tonight. I was delighted as I thought they must have put them back out again and resolved the Emergency Withdrawal status. Then I got it to the counter and they refused to sell it to me – AGAIN! Tesco’s need to get their act together. This is pathetic!
Posted by: Korwin October 4th, 2009
Does anyone know when Tesco’s are going to put these back out. I’m dying to get hold of them and don’t want to miss out
Posted by: Charlie October 4th, 2009
If only I hadn’t already got a Time Lord…
Posted by: Za October 3rd, 2009
There are images of the S1/2 boxsets on DoctorWhoToys.net
Posted by: THE SEEKER42 October 2nd, 2009
i have seen images of 1 and 2 on dwo the hoix seems darker
Posted by: booboo October 2nd, 2009
Apparantly they were put on sale and withdrawn, seems they were put out to soon as they were advertised as half price when they had never been on sale at the full price, they should be out on sale soon i hope
Posted by: Za October 2nd, 2009
Has anybody seen the S1/2 ones yet. Can we get an image soon please…
Posted by: dalek October 2nd, 2009
They look aright but if they put some from serise 1 2 4 in it would be good.
The end of time looks good
Posted by: andrew September 29th, 2009
I hope when they do officaly go on sale that they are available in more TESCO stores
Posted by: booboo September 29th, 2009
yes, seems like they should’nt have gone on sale till October
Posted by: andrew September 29th, 2009
they’ve been recalled
Posted by: Anonymous September 23rd, 2009
I can’t believe Korwin is actually out but why does the label say Hal Korwin?
Well worth it,£10 for 3,£8 for 1!
Posted by: booboo September 20th, 2009
Wish they would get some at the Tesco’s around here
Posted by: scott johnstone September 20th, 2009
i have just got back from tesco and when i went to the toy ile i saw both of them and got both of them
Posted by: scott johnstone September 20th, 2009
where con i get series 3 set cause i want korwin
Posted by: Me September 16th, 2009
I count The Christmas Invasion as Series One.
The end of a series is exactly that – the end. You can not really end a series with a cliffhanger which POTW, Doomsday and LOTL end with. Besides, classing The Christmas Invasion as Series One means every new series has a christmas special.
Posted by: booboo September 16th, 2009
That’s what i thought, i suppose they could class series 2 as starting with new Earth and lump Xmas invasion in with series 1.
Because we associate series one with CE this doesn’t seem to fit as he never saw the sycorax. the info could be wrong, i haven’t seen the series 1 box set yet
Posted by: Anthony September 16th, 2009
Isnt The Christmas Invasion with the Sycorax in Series 2?
Posted by: THE SEEKER42 September 15th, 2009
Cybermen-£10! Baragain! They will be off the shelves quicker than you could say Reverse the Polarity of the Neutron Flow! ;D
Posted by: Mondas Moon September 15th, 2009
Three classic cybermen for £10 !!!!!!! what a bargain
set 3 looks good with 2 ( almost ) new figures.
Posted by: booboo September 15th, 2009
people have got them already, it seems its exclusive to Tescos and not all stores seem to have them yet, like other things recently it seems a bit hit and miss as to if your local store will get them.
Posted by: doctorwhomad September 15th, 2009
Have people already got this? If they have, where’d they get it from?
Posted by: Juddon Master September 15th, 2009
I think there good but they need a series 4 set containing Sarah Jane Smith, Miss Foster and Crucible Dalek
Posted by: docandk9 September 15th, 2009
OMG! I really want the S3 set! Might get them if they are just 10-20 pounds. Any pics of the others?
Posted by: Korwin September 15th, 2009
Korwin, at last, series 3 set is good, 2 new (ish) figures. i have heard they are selling for only £10 a set at the moment as well. cyberman set well worth that.
