      I ordered mine Friday night and got a dispatch email this morning. Looks as though they’re handling orders at random, rather than a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

    Not strictly Doctor Who related, but the 2012 Olympics on BluRay for £2.49 is a steal. Worth that just to watch the ceremonies again.

    Has anyone bought the state of liberty that’s on offer, if so is the normal or glow in the dark variant, the image makes it look glow in the dark, but you’d think they’d mention it.

    This is proving to be an absolute goldmine. My hope is that the 50th anniversary print collection is reduced. I missed out on the absolutely spectacular saving when it was reduced to clear on Zavvi, so, hopefully the BBC Shop answers my prayer and does something similar here! I was pondering on whether to buy the Sherlock set on my last order but I just couldn’t refuse here; that’s an utter bargain. And, I thought I’d get the Tennant years set just for the packaging alone.

    I ordered the web of fear t-shirt along with a book and got an email saying that they had both been despatched.

    Only the book arrives.

    I phone them and the t-shirt is now out of stock.

    Why would they say that it had been despatched?
