Doctor Who Adventures issue 259
Doctor Who Adventures issue 259
Don’t tell anyone -but I’m being watched.
Cameras seem to be following me everywhere I go.
And it’s always when my life takes a turn for the dramatic, like when I’m saving the universe from a fate worse than broccoli.
It’s never when I’m having toast and a boiled egg for breakfast.
I wonder what they’re up to?
Also inside…
*Big bag in space
*Alien adventure
*Rory fast facts
*Malthill way (comic)
*who’s that
*Military mission and much more
This weeks issue comes with a grow your own Cyberman and monster invasion cards

Dalek of Doom
March 10th, 2012 - 6:40pmDoctor Who Adventures is really beginning to bug me now! Doctor Who isn’t on till Autumn so the issues are getting WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE. Why dont they just but it on every two weeks instead so it doesn’t get BORING and PREDICTABLE! I mean, how are they planning to supply enough features from January 2012 – Autumn 2012 when Series 7 comes on! That’s just my opinion folks…
booboo
March 10th, 2012 - 6:44pmyou dont like Monster invasion either for the comment you tried to leave
Personally for the age group its aimed at DWA is fine and personally i think its been pretty good recently
The 507th Doctor (Headless Monk Fan)
March 10th, 2012 - 6:54pmI must agree with booboo. DWA may not be my favourite magazine, but they are bringing the classics slowly slowly. That’s the Regeneration page, and I got many good facts from The First and Second Doctor.
Then, we have Matt Smith’s opinions on each episode of Series 6, which You only really get in DWA.
Personally, there doing pretty well just now.
Bow tie of Doom (Not to be confused with The Fez of Fear)
March 10th, 2012 - 7:10pmThe only things I don’t like is when they write “Only In Doctor Who Adventures” for interviews etc when it’s mostly material taken from other sources. However, I have been enjoying the behind the scenes Christmas stuff since there was no Confidential to follow on from that. And AAGH! AAGH! annoys me!
However, I do like the classic facts, the comics, the posters, seeing what others thought of episodes, the upload page and, as previously mentioned, the behind the scenes stuff.
The 507th Doctor
March 11th, 2012 - 6:00amBow tie of Doom, I quite like AAGH! AAGH!, even though it’s not a comic strip with the TARDIS crew. Although sometimes there are some silly bits in them that annoy me!
Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)
March 8th, 2012 - 4:31pmThere’s a guide to The Rebel Flesh on the day that an actual solar storm is raging (is that the correct word?) above us?!?? Wow! Happens a lot though. I think! 🙂
Didn’t get any cards I needed with the mag though!! 🙁

The 507th Doctor (Previously King of the Tenza)
March 7th, 2012 - 5:48pmAgh, looking at the MI pack makes me jealous… I want it! I could look at it ALL day…
Plus does anybody think that when set 3 is out set 2 will still be out but rarer to find? What about set 1??
Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)
March 7th, 2012 - 6:02pmThey will still be easy to find. They’ll become rarer when DWMI finishes though! 🙂
The 507th Doctor (Previously King of the Tenza)
March 8th, 2012 - 12:30pmThanks, Bow Tie of Doom! Did you collect BIT? If yes, do you remember when set 5 was out which other sets could you find? Of course you probably couldn’t get set 1, but the others?
Adam
March 7th, 2012 - 7:03amI will buy every DWA with Monster Invasion Cards £1.50 is to much for 9 cards in my opinion
The 507th Doctor (Previously King of the Tenza)
March 7th, 2012 - 1:22pmAgree, I would pay £1. Still, most of my money is spent on MI. 🙂
booboo
March 7th, 2012 - 1:27pmwouldn’t be possible to make them for that

March 11th, 2012 - 1:42pmwell it costs 45p to make £10 figures so they must be able to

March 11th, 2012 - 1:53pmwhich would not include the 1000s of pounds sculpting, rights to the BBC, development and set up costs, profit for the factory, profit for character and profit for the retailer and Vat

Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)
March 6th, 2012 - 6:30pmHope I get some good cards with the mag! Fingers crossed!!
The poster for The God Complex looks good and hopefully the same can be said for Closing Time and The Wedding of River Song. The Series 6 posters have been great so far! Also do you think there will be a poster for The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe? There probably won’t be as there were some before and after the episode aired. Still, you never know. Well, unless you have a TARDIS.

March 6th, 2012 - 5:09pmBooboo this is off topic but why in the app game Mazes of Time when Amy dies she regenerates?
GreenAnchorRedWaterfall
March 6th, 2012 - 5:27pmI noticed that myself! I was wondering that as well. She’s not a secret Time Lord, is she?
BOOBOO JR
March 6th, 2012 - 5:27pmI was wondering that too?

March 6th, 2012 - 5:55pmyeh but river was *made in the tarids so the enegy went into her*
Bigger on the Inside
March 6th, 2012 - 5:57pmshe regenerates because if she didnt she wont be able to come back, she wont be in the game any longer and you wont be able to complete it, so it makes sense
river regenerates as she is the child of the tardis and concived in the tardis so the time lord/ time energy is part of her
The 507th Doctor (Previously King of the Tenza)
March 7th, 2012 - 1:24pmYes but when somebody dies in a game you can restart the level.
And about the River thing, the game was made by Summer 2010, and they hadn’t begun writing new episodes for Series 6. So Moffat didn’t actually think of writing that yet. I guess they just did it though.

March 6th, 2012 - 4:55pmhow long does the cyberman take to grow…put my sons in water and its not grown.thanks

Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)
March 6th, 2012 - 4:37pmYes that was a while ago. Almost two years ago I think. Is it a Cybus Cyberman booboo or is the chest plate clean?

The 507th Doctor (Previously King of the Tenza)
March 6th, 2012 - 4:15pmI think he’s cool too. I saw episode 1 of The Sea Devils and it was good. My top 5 Doctors:
5 – Ninth
4 – Fourth
3 – Third

And I seriously don’t like the first!
Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)

Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)
March 6th, 2012 - 4:36pmHey he was epic (especially in series 4) but he was a bit too humany wumany (is that how you spell it?) for me. That does not mean I hate Tennant though. He is a very good actor. You’d have to be mad to say he isn’t!
The 507th Doctor (Previously King of the Tenza)
March 6th, 2012 - 4:38pmWhich was your worse and fave Tennant episode? Mine are:
Worse: Fear Her
Favourite: The Stolen Earth/ Journey’s End
Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)
March 6th, 2012 - 4:42pmWorst: Love and Monsters
Favourite: Midnight (The music absoloutely terrifies me!)
The 507th Doctor (Previously King of the Tenza)
March 6th, 2012 - 4:46pmIf you where going to be exterminated by a Dalek and it would let you love by stopping a DW magazine, which would it be? Mine would be DWM (Dr Who Magazine).

March 6th, 2012 - 4:46pmSorry ment to write live not love! 🙂
Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)

Oooooh 65 more cards from set 2 🙂 115 ( I think) set 1 🙁 🙁
the TARDIS
March 6th, 2012 - 5:50pmMy favourite mags are Doctor Who Magazine and Doctor Who Insider (although that has been cancelled). The others are all too childish for me, although I do still collect them.
booboo
March 6th, 2012 - 8:00pmi take it you are not in the core age group this magazine is aimed at

March 6th, 2012 - 7:51pm@the TARDIS
Finally someone who agrees with my taste for magazine! DWA@s way too childish! They’re always stuff like:Did you know the TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space! As if we don’t know that! DWM and DWI are epic!
booboo
March 6th, 2012 - 7:58pmDoctor Who Adventures is aimed at a core age group of 7-8 year old which are children and it does a very good job
Just because you know it doesn’t mean other people in that age group do
It is not aimed at the same readership as Doctor Who magazine and never has been

March 6th, 2012 - 8:34pmwhen im 13 will i still b able 2 write to them?
DALEKDAVROS.
March 6th, 2012 - 8:39pmit dosent matter how old you are .
the main point is for you to enjoy it!!
booboo
March 6th, 2012 - 8:42pmvery true but people who have out grown it shouldn’t criticize it, its not for them
The 507th Doctor (Previously King of the Tenza)
March 7th, 2012 - 1:29pmPersonally, I think Doctor Who Insider was quite good (even though I didn’t own it). Very nice read with interesting facts.
Doctor Who Adventures is really for 8 year olds, but I still collect it and I’m 11. I used to love it, but I’m not that interested in it anymore. It’s still good though and I do get it when I can’t get Monster Invasion magazine or cards.
Monster Invasion? Well, two words. IT ROCKS! I think MI is the best DW magazine and I hope it doesn’t stop at 52 issues. 🙂
Prince Of Draxonia (Previously Doctors Little Companion)

March 6th, 2012 - 4:10pmOh my goodness I have all of those except Cult of Skaro (actually I don’t have any ultra rares). I need 65 more cards (from set 2). Could you tell me what the really small writing says up on the left top corner just under “Doctor Who Trading Cards”?
Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)
March 6th, 2012 - 4:11pmOh I need the Cult of Skaro!!!
The 507th Doctor (Previously King of the Tenza)
March 6th, 2012 - 4:12pmOh The Cult of Skaro is Ultra Rare and the first Daleks is rare. He rest are commons. It says it on the top left corner in the circle.

Oh and the second infinite but who would forget that? 😉
