Stocks Arrive – B&M August 2020 Sets Product Codes, Prices, Information
Stocks have now arrived
We have closed comments on all other B&M posts so they can be concentrated here.
UK Buyers – At the time of writing there is no longer a direct way of speaking to your store to check on availability. You could try the main customer service number. You can also scan in the bar codes below on the B&M app. This may help in some cases but may not be 100% accurate as to the exact situation on the shop floor. All sets in the UK are £19.99.
We strongly advise you make whatever checks you can yourself to check store availability before travelling.

July 24th, 2020 - 11:14amWhat’s the point of the barcode? Because whenever I use it all it says is ‘sorry we can’t check availability for this item, you’ll have to check in stores’?

July 24th, 2020 - 10:41amSeems as if the sets are getting around pretty quickly then – that’s good news…
Anonymous
July 24th, 2020 - 10:20ameverytime i try the app it just says subject to availability – visit your nearest store
is there something else you need to do as it happens with everything i try
BadgerLeopard
July 24th, 2020 - 10:23amYeah I don’t understand how people can see the “good availability” thing. Could someone explain that?
booboo
July 24th, 2020 - 10:31amenter your location, scan the barcode then scroll down slightly to see a “check availability” button and it will come up with your nearest stores
problem with this app is that it does show stock yet to be put out (and possibly already sold not sure how quick it updates)
booboo
July 24th, 2020 - 10:25amhave you entered your location? there should be a blue “check availability” button
Anonymous
July 24th, 2020 - 10:38ami’ve put in my location and added some stores to favourite, but when i scan it says oop! we’re afraid we can’t check stock for this product.
but i tried in the search looking for some other stuff and they say the availability for them but it just seems to be the doctor who stuff it won’t let me check

July 24th, 2020 - 10:40amWell that explains it BeeversMaster.
I think I’ll just go to my local store later today as I remember how they had all the sets late on a Friday afternoon last year.
booboo
July 24th, 2020 - 10:48amwhats your location a and i will check for you

July 24th, 2020 - 10:04amNothing in Hull Kingston Retail. Staff said it’s expected by Monday.

July 24th, 2020 - 8:32amEdinburgh Fort Kinnaird has all the sets in. Too far away from either Dundee or St Andrews. Hopefully Dundee will get them either tonight or tomorrow
Doctor
July 24th, 2020 - 9:27amIs that true
Reece
July 24th, 2020 - 9:46amIt was on the B&m app
Tom
July 24th, 2020 - 7:54amMy local B&M shows as having a ‘good availability’ this morning when last night it said they had none in stock. I feel like this might be the case for most places today, but for all I know it could just be the app messing me around. I’ll look this morning and update later on.
(Not willing to share the location of my B&M store as the last time I did this I lost all of my B&M sets to scalpers lmao)
booboo
July 24th, 2020 - 9:12amthey will be using the app just like you, it wont make any difference to be honest
Tom
July 24th, 2020 - 9:39amYeah that’s true. I went and they had nothing in stock so it’s a bit hit and miss at the minute. They said they’ve got the sets but they most likely wont be going on the shelves until late Sunday early Monday. Either way they’ve taken my phone number and they’re going to call me once they’re in
Anonymous
July 24th, 2020 - 10:06amI think what the app means by “good availability” is that they’re in the store but not on the shelves.
Surely you could have just asked a staff member if they could look round the store room for you, Tom?
The Tweetlord
July 24th, 2020 - 12:52amIsn’t this going to be on BBC Shop as well? If it is, i hope it’s on the Canadian Version of the site, i don’t want to pay double for international sellers.
Anonymous
July 24th, 2020 - 6:42amIt definitely will not be (fellow Canadian here). You’re going to have to use ebay or that amazon store or else phone and ask someone you know in the UK to try. I don’t know for sure but the signs all point to it I’m afraid.
Anonymous
July 24th, 2020 - 7:38amIf you REALLY want, try ordering from Sanity.com in Australia or ask anyone you know who lives there to try pick one up. Our dollar is doing pretty well compared to theirs, and they have cheaper shipping, you’ll save a bit compared to buying from the US. Not much, but I’m sure 5 dollars can go a long way!
The Tweetlord
July 24th, 2020 - 10:37amSee, this is ridiculous, i shouldn’t have to buy internationally, can’t afford these sets if it’s going to continue on like that. I can’t fork out 400+ on these sets, it’s not worth it.
Now, these were supposed to be on the BBC Shop Website … what happened there?
Anonymous
July 24th, 2020 - 3:11pmI want to agree and I do sympathize, however, it’s just the way it is. I don’t think it ever was supposed to go to the BBC shop website, I think Booboo only listed it because when he got the info they were very vague about the “North American” store that would have them. That store has turned out to be the amazon one linked in the description. As I’ve said in other comments on other posts, the only reason I suspect that BBC Canada/America shops got the TARDIS and Recon Dalek is because they aren’t B&M exclusives and can be sold by any distributor. Hope that helps and stay positive! Having been around for the previous two of these, when the 8th Doctor and Dalek BF sets were released, and similarly with the 3rd Doctor TARDIS, just hang in there and don’t fall for ebay scalpers. We’ll definitely not be getting them on release and you may have to wait but they’ll be available for everyone eventually. Stay positive, even in these trying times!
booboo
July 24th, 2020 - 3:16pmBBC shop USA are supposed to be getting them but it all seems a bit Vague, Everyone assumed this North American store was Whona but we don’t know who is actually behind it.
Anonymous
July 24th, 2020 - 5:50pmI see, thanks for the clarification Booboo! I just don’t understand, if this is a B&M exclusive, how can bbc shop be getting it? It’s just very confusing… but I’m sure you’re just as confused as I am haha.
Exterminator
July 23rd, 2020 - 11:37pmLast year I drove round 10 different B&M’s trying to find the figures on the day of release only for them to turn up at my local store a couple of weeks later.
So this year I’m just going to sit tight and wait for them to appear locally.
Happy hunting to all those going out and don’t forget your face masks!
Dalek z
July 23rd, 2020 - 11:12pmAlready on eBay, It’s a pain this year because of the stupid virus I just can’t justify running around all the B&M’s it’s too much risk.
I only want a Romana 2 and maybe a Tardis but this year it will have to be eBay I guess and paying too much. I hate 2020
Anonymous
July 23rd, 2020 - 11:53pmMany of us do. Many have lost their jobs, can’t go outside or risk exposing our young children. We across the pond have to pay 2.5x price. I would hold off on the figures if you can. The price will definitely come down. The initial sellers on ebay are just looking to rip people off. They’ll be available soon, just like the other figures from last year. It’s pretty cool that we’re even getting these at all given the COVID-19 situation! Stay positive in these tough times! 😀
the ergon
July 24th, 2020 - 12:54amYou have to wear a facemask before entering any stores as of today anyway, so it cuts that risk. If you insist in giving in and paying over the odds fair enough. A lot feel disheartened if they can,t get something straight away. Give it a week or so, or even sooner, depends where they stock and you,ll beable to pick some up fine.
Anonymous
July 24th, 2020 - 3:36amDON’T BUY THEM YET!!!! Stick the scalpers with them for a good few weeks/months, they’ll have to drop their prices just to move the stock… look at last years wave, half of it can be found on ebay for RRP last year, IF NOT UNDER… Wait it out and you’ll not be ripped off…
Anonymous
July 24th, 2020 - 11:35amTo be fair there’s an eBay seller selling for £39 all in, which is the item plus travel to a local b&m for me. This person would also have fees to pay themselves . The only dodgy bit per say is last night their listing showed as 2 available..I bought one and suddenly they have 3 . Unless they’re doing a pre order type thing in which case they need to specify this is the case

July 23rd, 2020 - 10:19pmHi people.
Consett and Gateshead are in the North East of England just for those who aren’t sure.
I live in Gateshead so popped to the Metro Centre one and got the two sets they had on shelves. So Got Tardis and 4th Doctor Set.
They weren’t able to check stockroom as at 7pm only 2 staff in. 1 on floor and 1 on the till.
There were 4 Tardis and 4 4th Sets left when I got mine.
None in Team Valley store although they still have Peladon Tardis and 7th Doctor BF sets.
Good Luck.

Reece
July 23rd, 2020 - 6:56pmDo you think Scotland will get sets Friday? Saturday?
BadgerLeopard
July 23rd, 2020 - 6:59pmJudging by how the sets (at this point in time) are mainly being found in the north west of England(Gateshead etc) , I think Scotland may get sets on Saturday or (at the latest) the middle of next week. It just depends on the delivery times of your store (I remember last year how all the sets popped up at my local store on a Friday afternoon, which is why I’m heading to my store during tomorrow afternoon)
Reece
July 23rd, 2020 - 7:05pmI’m in Dundee and they got the sets first last time.

July 23rd, 2020 - 5:06pmI know this may sound silly but is there a way of scanning the barcode through the app without having the barcode in person. Physically?
Anonymous
July 23rd, 2020 - 5:19pmAre you talking about not having the sets themselves physically or not having the barcode at all?
TARDIS_H63
July 23rd, 2020 - 5:55pmWell booboo has given us the barcodes but how can we use this through the app?
booboo
July 23rd, 2020 - 6:03pmthe app is intended as a price checker for goods in-store and to use Product codes (which probably wont work for some time ) you need to scan them from a screen or someone else’s phone

July 23rd, 2020 - 7:49pmyes Anonymous i am for real. got through to main store through CS and the woman in store did indeed say that once the stock is instore and scanned and up on the shelves she would put them aside. That was yesterday. However its been a bugger since trying to get through. Only once did i get transferred to main store today and there was no answer but that could have been because it was their busiest time. When i tried again several times, someone else on CS just kept putting me through to their 0300 number with just the two options. I will persevere and give it my best shot tomorrow to see if i can get same person or shop Floor manager. Iwas as surprised myself when i actually got through but she was very helpful and communicative and did get all my stuff fdrom the same store last year.

July 23rd, 2020 - 4:45pmJust to clarify Booboo, these sets have arrived in some stores early?

July 23rd, 2020 - 4:47pmone store definitely but they are on their way around to others, this happened last year , the 25th was always when “many” stores are likely to have them

July 23rd, 2020 - 4:52pmProbably was one of the few stores that have their delivery after the stock arrived so got them probably on day of arrival in the distribution centre

July 23rd, 2020 - 5:38pmJudging by the fact that several new listings have popped up on eBay from somewhere called Consett, I think the sets are starting to appear in the north-west of England and are starting to quickly sweep across the country…

July 23rd, 2020 - 9:10pmAmazon sellers and even well known retailers do it, we should be used to it just wait a while
Voldermort
July 23rd, 2020 - 10:10pmTbh some of the Ebay listings are pretty fair. There was a few that were priced at £34.99 inc postage which in reality isn’t too bad at all, profit wise it going to be less than £7. If you think of the cost of driving to the B&M stores every week trying to search for these sets, its probably more beneficial to some buyers to just purchase on Ebay and save all the bother.
It’s more environmentally friendly too to just purchase online than driving miles to different B&M stores.
