    I know this is really off topic but does anywhere sell character building micro figures anymore – i found one on a shelf in toysrus a couple of months ago but left it ;-(

      These figures aren’t made any more, so yeah. eBay is your best bet. Any shops or websites that still sell new ones will only have a limited stock, until they run out.

      Something doesn’t feel right… none of it is reduced – could it be an error because they intend to close today? Something gone wrong behind the scenes?

      Interesting – when you first reported the umbrella being up it was at regular £26.99 price – now on there for £15.99 – if I didn’t already own it I would snap it up. None of the DVDs are cheaper though.

      So – is this an error, or they found more stock? Who knows.

      some strange things happening here

    • Weeping Angel

      March 29th, 2016 - 3:39pm

      Its a glitch the same thing happened (for a minute) a couple of weeks ago, all the t-shirts don’t have any sizes and when i tried to order a mysterious ‘new stock’ classic dvd it got cancelled. Maybe this is part of the reason they are closing down…

    • Weeping Angel

      March 29th, 2016 - 3:43pm

      Also is it just me or when u search doctor who figure in the search bar the novice hame 12″ figure picture is really big and has glitched???( http://www.bbcshop.com/page/search?q=Doctor+who+figure )Some wierd things are happening!

    • Sam Richard Bentley

      March 29th, 2016 - 3:44pm

      Very odd. I must say – I think WA is right about it being a big ol’ glitch. It screams ‘glitch’ to me.

      It may be left over stock from their stores which has only just got into their warehouses?

    • Weeping Angel

      March 29th, 2016 - 3:59pm

      Maybe doctor909 but the sonic toothbrush heads are instock one minute and not the next, the t-shirt sizes have glitched so you cant buy them and why wouldnt they reduce all the ‘new stock’ they have just brought in? It seems like its more likely to be a glitch

    • toptimelord

      March 29th, 2016 - 4:09pm

      It’s just been confirmed on there Facebook page that these items have been added on the website because of stock error.

      I presume not a glitch.

  • Weeping Angel

    March 29th, 2016 - 8:25am

    Do u think everything will be reduced again as this is the last day of them being open? There is loads they could probably reduce again like the wizards vs aliens series 1 boxset could be reduced to £1.49 or £0.99 as its very old and not popular

      Were there items missing off your order in the first delivery? If so, they’ll be in this next delivery.

      I ordered 13 t-shirts, I had a dispatch email to say they were on the way, but 3 were outstanding. Then today I had another dispatch email for the remaining 3 but all 13 were still on the email.

      I was actually tempted to treat myself when the set first came out, I was going to pay the full price but decided not to in the end. I can’t believe it was reduced to less than £20. I’m still waiting for the Gallefrean paperweight to go down a bit more hopefully.

    A little off topic but today I picked up Doctor Who The Complete Ninth Series on DVD in the HMV sale for… £19.99! Already have the Steelbook version from Amazon and waited for this box set to be reduced. So that’s me done!

      March 21st, 2016 - 12:15pm

      It was in store and I thought it was very cheap too. I imagined it going down to that price by the end of the year but not after a week of release! They where in the chart section with the price of £19.99.

      its £31.99 on hmv website

    • The Monitor

      March 26th, 2016 - 5:45pm

      I have just returned from HMV and they seemed startled that it could be £19.99 insisting it was £31.99 without even checking the till. On the way out I found where it was in the charts and the DVD was £31.99 and Blu £34.99. I think anyone who got it for £19.99 got a mispriced one.
