      The day of the Doctor one doesn’t work for me. Hope you get it anyway to complete the collection

    Just received a set 6 from an Ebay seller, they were not cheap, and all of them don’t work. If you push the lever with as much strength as you can muster, 1 might change pictures but your finger gets so tired that you cant get it to show all 8 photos, on any of the 6. I am wondering is the seller is selling rejected factory seconds, because I have had these before as a kid and they worked fine, no way could a child get any of these to click, so i have to assume they are all defective. Disappointing after paying $35 for the set as a gift.

    I still haven’t seen these anywhere. But my local Sainsburys does have the little figures in a vending machine.

    The Day of the Doctor one would be nice to add to my anniversary collection. Hopefully they’ll have them in the FP Dublin vending machines when I travel up next week

    I like the look of these, let’s hope that this time all these new vending machine toys are more widely available, unlike Figures Set 1…

      You can buy them from Amazon UK if you don’t have any Vending near you. Someone is selling the First & Second Set of figures & also these new Mini-Viewers as well.

    Older viewers may remember when vending machine toys were worth collecting

    Are these the same sort of viewer clicky thing like they did for LotR back in 2001? I had a couple of those.
