B&M 2023 The Deadly Assassin Set
The Deadly Assassin Set Product Code 402027 In-store Price £21.99.
B&M no longer sell online. You can search for this item on www.ebay.co.uk
This set contains:
- Fourth Doctor in Time Lord robes
- Chancellor Goth
- Cardinal Borusa
This figure trio features the Fourth Doctor in Time Lord robes, collar and skull cap, Chancellor Goth in his Prydonian Chancellery robes and the Claret robed Cardinal Borusa, all iconic characters from the third serial of Season 14.
This was the only story in the Classic series of Doctor Who to feature the Doctor without a companion and saw the return of the Doctor’s nemesis, the Master, but in a heavily decayed state at the end of his original regeneration cycle. The storyline sees the Doctor head to Gallifrey to answer to the Time Lords’ summons.
On the way, he is struck by a premonition that he will assassinate the Lord President – a premonition that plays out! The Doctor is quickly apprehended but by claiming a right to stand for President he sends Gallifrey into a constitutional crisis. The full synopsis behind the episode and creation of the set can be enjoyed on the packaging.

November 27th, 2023 - 8:41pmMy local store in Chesterfield have nothing at all.
However, my day job results in a lot of travelling around and this week whilst in Paisley I called into their store and they had loads of Deadly Assassin sets, Dalek twin packs and the triple figure sets (9th Dr, 13th Dr)

November 22nd, 2023 - 1:20amAnyone finding this set impossible to locate? I have tried Dover, Folkestone and Ashford on the south coast and nothing. Same thing with first doctor set, just never arrived. Seems like only Daleks make it to stores down here now. Getting very frustrated with it. Off to eBay I guess and dance with the scalpers, no other option.
Chris
November 27th, 2023 - 7:31pmInteresting you say that. In South Wales, these are all they have! All my local stores must have 20-30 time lord sets on their shelves and no dalek sets at all. The distribution is shocking. Will end up with reduced sets on shelves and B and M stating they don’t sell well…..

November 17th, 2023 - 3:59pmWould love a Guardians of the Edge set. You would only need one body sculpt and then different heads for #1, 5, 6 & 7 with a re-release of 8th NOTD figure to go with them. Not sure of the logistics of that on B & M’s budget, but the idea is good.

November 12th, 2023 - 11:58amOnly the first doctor and Dalek in Mablethorpe. Could some kind soul confirm if any of the new sets have arrived in Skegness please?
Badwolfy
November 8th, 2023 - 6:10pmTimelords have arrived at Anglia Retail Park Ipswich, and lots of them. They have annoyingly stuck the magnetic sticker on the side, well placed, but the side nonetheless! Still at least it wasn’t the top or front which happened to one set a couple of years ago!
Bloody cheeky charging as much as for the Dalek sets too! That’s me done, I hope there’s no more again till late next year!!

November 7th, 2023 - 2:15pmDoes anYone know please if the Series 4 Time Lord previouslY released bY Character is of the same height/size as these 3 new ones? thanks
Colin H
November 9th, 2023 - 8:24amYes, the figures in the new set are all based on the original Character Time Lord figure.

November 5th, 2023 - 7:13amWith only 408 cases of this set available and only 6 pieces per case no wonder its hard to find. But is that 408 cases to cover the uk or is it 408 cases PER DC?
HS
November 11th, 2023 - 5:49pmIt can’t be 408 cases for the UK.
Badwolfy
November 1st, 2023 - 7:57pmBoth Dalek sets have arrived at Anglia Retail Park Ipswich!! Mercifully the first branch I checked; saving me repeated marathons across 5 stores from Ipswich to Colchester!!!

booboo
October 30th, 2023 - 8:13pmMDS
October 30th, 2023 - 9:41pmLooks like its the Time Lord from Terror of the Autons. Instead of arriving in mid air to deliver a message he’s chosen the North Sea this time.
JadeB

mick
November 1st, 2023 - 11:19amTARDIS set is £19.99 now
Badwolfy
November 1st, 2023 - 7:58pmMay I ask, what is the significance of the map? Do these sets not reach all of the stores?
Jay
November 1st, 2023 - 9:21pm@Badwolfy – Not all stores get the sets and it’s not even always the same stores that got the previous sets. Scalpers also buy a stores entire stock to sell for 3x as much on Ebay, the map helps people find the stores with stock, hopefully before the scalpers.
Badwolfy
November 2nd, 2023 - 1:44amThanks Jay. WOW I didn’t know that not all stores got stock. That would explain a few things with the 5 stores I am lucky to frequent.
I cannot believe they let scalpers buy the entire stock, that’s scandalous.
I recently found out that at one of the bigger stores near me, the Security guard keeps the stock hidden and only puts out a few at a time so the stock isn’t wiped out by scalpers. Bless him, I need to get in with this guy! I work in security too so hopefully he’ll recognise SIA Brotherhood! ;o)
Badwolfy
November 2nd, 2023 - 3:10amI’ve just seen the page with the map explained; I really should explore this website some more! I thought that time lord was marking my current location then when I zoomed in I realised it marks the store where I bought Daleks last night!
Dwho
October 29th, 2023 - 8:31amDo we see this in stores next week? North or south the excitement is here!!!
GrantP
October 24th, 2023 - 11:41amPre-order on E Bay for £49 really!!! Do they think someone will pay that!!
Anthony Fagn
October 26th, 2023 - 11:06amSadly some do otherwise they wouldn’t do it at all.
rich
October 27th, 2023 - 9:32am£16 profit, not including transport costs and packaging – £15 if sold abroad.
Jay
October 27th, 2023 - 11:42amThey buy the entire stores stock, if they only get 10 per store that’s £160 profit from doing nothing but driving to a store.
rich
October 27th, 2023 - 1:35pmJay, They would have to package and post the toys as well, using your scenario of a day to drive to the shops and back (most likely several shops in several towns) and a half day packing then it’s a reasonable return.
Stephen
October 24th, 2023 - 1:18amNow on B&M website (all three sets)so must be anytime now to hit shelves
Rich
October 24th, 2023 - 9:19amwhere on the B&M website?

The Fishmonger
October 29th, 2023 - 9:07amThat soon? I’ve only just recovered from the last round of shenanigans
Jam Fletcher
October 17th, 2023 - 2:31pmHas the usual Al Dewar video showing the figures appeared online yet? Seems really odd the review videos are on YouTube but Al’s isn’t.
Joe
October 18th, 2023 - 1:59pmNo there is no video for this wave but if I’m remembering correctly we never got a video accompanying the second wave last year either.
Gallifrey Falls No More
October 14th, 2023 - 10:23amDo we have an estimate for release?
DalekCollector
October 17th, 2023 - 1:05pmWas rumoured to be at the Central warehouse 23rd of this month but don’t know for certain
mick
October 19th, 2023 - 3:31pmnow saying 30th october
Anthony Fagn
October 14th, 2023 - 8:06amNo doubt exclusive to North of England and all of Scotland again. Here you are lads have 4 or 5 cases of each set to put on your shelves.
David Goldberg
October 16th, 2023 - 7:50am@Anthony Fagn – Makes a change because the North of England and Scotland usually miss out on these releases. #RealityCheck
Daniel Seymour
October 17th, 2023 - 8:07amThe South West misses out as well. The Poole branch never has these in stock. Its all Turtles and Funkos.
PhonoPaul
October 11th, 2023 - 7:56pmI think this need the 5″ tag.
Pupbenny
October 10th, 2023 - 11:11amJust realised I can get two of these, paint the collars gold and have time lords either side of my Rassilon, it’s gonna be epic. 😀 (assuming I’m able to get them.)
Neil
October 11th, 2023 - 10:11amI wouldn’t be at all surprised if such a set was released as an ‘End of Time’ B&M set at some point in the future. Wouldn’t mind, either, as long as the Time Lords were new head sculpts.
Peter C
October 20th, 2023 - 2:03pmThey could also do a Time Lord Victorious set with 9th, NOTD 8th and Time Lord figure with Tennant head to sync with the cover of the second book.
