February 6th, 2020 - 5:33pmI really want this! It’s a shame they couldn’t be bothered to put an insert in for us! Times must be hard!
booboo
February 6th, 2020 - 6:38pmnothing about can’t be bothered, and yes times are hard in the toy industry

February 6th, 2020 - 12:05pmI’ve just picked one up from the forbidden planet flagship store in London. They currently have a lot of stock.
Doctor What
February 6th, 2020 - 7:52pmSame with Forbidden Planet in Cambridge thanks for letting me know about London store having some,wouldn’t have made me check Cambridge for stock
Greg
February 6th, 2020 - 10:05pmNo problem. Glad I could help. I think she looks wonderful. I only bought one, but I might buy another to open and display.

February 6th, 2020 - 11:28amI’ve been looking all over the internet for the custom interior card that was linked on Twitter, but I can’t seem to find it again. I don’t suppose anyone would have a link to one?

BeeversMaster
February 6th, 2020 - 1:57pmbooboo, I would be happy to test print it as I am getting it so it would be nice to use it for my one.
booboo
February 6th, 2020 - 2:12pmright click and save image
this is designed to print out straight onto A4 with no adjustments needed, what I’m looking for is the distance between the 2 solid lines should be 75mm and the height of the background 150mm
you score down the solid lines to get a neat fold then cut out, it should fit exactly just tucked behind the doors but may make the windows look odd, can be fiddly so you can trim if required
i also have one with the sides oversized so you can custom fit it
BeeversMaster
February 6th, 2020 - 2:42pmWill print it off onto my Gloss A4 paper when I get home and have access to my printer.

February 6th, 2020 - 2:59pmWhat would be the possibility Booboo that you could make a new page on the site with some backgrounds for the B&M Tardis’ Sets? Im sure many of us would be incredibly greatful 🙂
booboo
February 6th, 2020 - 3:02pmi might i just want to make sure these fit first
Anonymous
February 6th, 2020 - 3:28pmQuestion which might sound odd. Is the roof hollow on the inside?
booboo
February 6th, 2020 - 3:49pmno its flat inside
Anonymous
February 6th, 2020 - 4:20pmThanks booboo. Was thinking of adding a small orange led and battery pack to illuminate it a little.
BeeversMaster
February 6th, 2020 - 5:04pmJust to confirm booboo, the insert printed out just fine on my printer and the measurements were almost spot on. It was wider by about a fraction of a millimeter but otherwise it is spot on height wise.
booboo
February 6th, 2020 - 5:09pmthat’s fine should still fit width-ways, there was a bit of play to allow for those who wanted to stick to card if using paper just wanted to make it is as easy as possible for people.
BeeversMaster
February 6th, 2020 - 5:11pmAh gotcha. Well I cant wait to get the new tardis. Looking forward to battling with the tardis to get the interior card to stay in.
BeeversMaster
February 6th, 2020 - 11:01amJust ordered this from Character Online. Hoping the delivery is quick because they didnt specify how long it will take to be sent. I only have a few more TARDISes to get until I have all of them.
Gallifrey Falls No More
February 6th, 2020 - 10:49amDoes anyone know what the delivery time is in uk?
Judooning
February 6th, 2020 - 9:35amNice surprise for this to be released early. Although i was looking forward to receiving a big box with everything in at once like the good old days haha.

February 6th, 2020 - 8:23amIn the picture it has an interior card does the tardis have one
booboo
February 6th, 2020 - 8:26amno it has custom background on it, we will have images you can print out
Daz
February 6th, 2020 - 1:36amI was going to dive on this for my Tardis set once it came out but it took so long since Jodie’s first appearance I couldn’t wait and I made my own. This is still nice but I don’t know if I want to get it now as my Jodie Tardis is more accurate than this one and has an interior background too so I wouldn’t be replacing it.
I’m glad they made it though and as they are cutting costs it’s the only way to go I guess, shame as they never really did better than the original 10th Doctor Tardis which has light up signs and everything since then the later Tardis toys were never made as good.
I’m after the figures though!
Anonymous
February 6th, 2020 - 12:27amBooboo, have you inserted your own interior card into the TARDIS yet? If so is it possible you can share some photos please
booboo
February 6th, 2020 - 7:09amyes, I’ve added one above but will be putting up a proper post with backgrounds people will just be able to print out (i Hope!)
Simplyzak
February 5th, 2020 - 7:50pmI really would order this now, but £5.50 is definitely holding me back.
However Character online isn’t much better and amazons estimated 1-3 months is off putting.
was really hoping Argos would sell these and show them in the new catalogue
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 7:55pmmany people would have ordered the figures as well so will pay 5.50 regardless.
Amazon may get stock much sooner as clearly these have arrived.
Anonymous
February 5th, 2020 - 5:09pmI’m pleased in a way – spreads the cost out a tad.
Mark Belsom.
February 5th, 2020 - 1:49pmLooks like Forbidden Planet have got the Tardis early plus there’s some on ebay already.
booboo
February 5th, 2020 - 1:57pmnoticed that, wonder if they wait for the figures before sending everything out
Mark Belsom
February 5th, 2020 - 2:46pmMaybe.
DrXshock
February 5th, 2020 - 4:17pmJust got a notification that it’s been shipped out. So evidently not.

February 5th, 2020 - 5:00pmSame here, I ordered mine yesterday and I got an email at 4-ish saying it’s been dispatched
mick
February 5th, 2020 - 5:05pmme to, was hoping it would be all sent at the same time at the end of the month
The Werewolf
February 5th, 2020 - 11:52pmForbidden Planet has always done this. When I preordered Star Wars figures from them in the past, they sent each item out as it came in stock. I wish they wouldn’t though.
JRT!
February 6th, 2020 - 5:28amSays it’s in stock on Amazon UK as well,and has been for a couple of days.
booboo
February 6th, 2020 - 7:08amdont think Amazon have it, there are a couple of 3rd party sellers that might
JRT!
February 6th, 2020 - 5:41pmYeah,you can get it through 3rd party sellers within two weeks,apparently,while Amazon will ship it within a month or two,lol! Hoping to see the figs and Tardis while in London for the con at the end of the month.

January 31st, 2020 - 10:09pmI thought this was going to be £19.99?
booboo
January 31st, 2020 - 10:12pmclearly said “we think” but was the wrong price given at the time

January 31st, 2020 - 10:59pmThat’s not a problem. Thank you for your response. 🙂

January 30th, 2020 - 11:27amTardis, dalek and graham ordered from forbidden planet .com
The Living Shadow
January 27th, 2020 - 1:50pmMaybe they should have a picture of the interior on the packaging that we can then cut out and stick in the Tardis box itself, in order to save costs and still give people what they want!
Exterminator
January 30th, 2020 - 10:01pmThats a great idea.
GallifreyanKnight
January 26th, 2020 - 12:06amIt’s such a shame that this doesn’t match the superior prototype.
There’s just so many things wrong with it.

February 2nd, 2020 - 6:47pmPicky?????
Anonymous
February 2nd, 2020 - 8:28pmJust be glad we got one because without the classic boxes it would be even more inaccurate
Anonymous
February 6th, 2020 - 7:14pmNot picky at all, it’s a fact that this box is extremely innacurate
booboo
February 6th, 2020 - 7:21pmwhich many people understand this was the only way it was going to get released.
It was this or nothing basically.
Pls tell me
January 25th, 2020 - 9:21amThis is a stupid question but is this going to be in b&m
booboo
January 25th, 2020 - 9:37amnot normally but i wonder if they might keep some of the news stuff now
Josh
January 24th, 2020 - 4:18pmWill Argos order 13th doctor tardis and figures
Anonymous
January 29th, 2020 - 2:06pmNo 13th tardis at argos
dazzleshell
January 24th, 2020 - 11:53amI guess the inside doesn’t light up either like the old NewWho Tardis’. Shame. I’ll be waiting for a price drop.
They really missed a trick not having a ‘Cut Out’ interior picture on the back of the box rather than have to print one elsewhere.
Matt
January 24th, 2020 - 1:01pmIt’s £25 – £30 on Forbidden Planet
Anonymous
January 27th, 2020 - 1:42pmI don’t mind not having a cut out inside, cause I don’t think you ever see it in the show, right?
Adam
January 23rd, 2020 - 6:40pmHmmm £24.99? Plus shipping looking at almost £30! I really don’t know :/
Grant
January 23rd, 2020 - 7:43pmYes I agree £24.99??? Mmm think I’ll pass for the minute pre ordered all the figures though!
Exterminator
January 24th, 2020 - 10:54amWe’ve been spoilt with the B&M Tardis’s for less than twenty quid which also come with a figure.
All that extra money just for an electronic sound chip and a light bulb? Plus £5.50 p&p from fp, I’ll wait to see if these can be picked up from Argos I think.

January 25th, 2020 - 10:03pmYes ordered mine don’t be tight b&m ain’t doing this tardis
Andy
January 23rd, 2020 - 5:37pmWill Amazon.co.uk sell this? (your comment, “realised by someone” to DoctorBendisco indicates that you think this won’t be sold by Amazon (?)
booboo
January 23rd, 2020 - 5:47pmI was referring to a 3rd party seller if Amazon dont sell it themselves but then they only tend to go up for order when they have the physical stock.
I dont know if Amazon themselves will be stocking these
John Kelly
January 22nd, 2020 - 9:19pmWow these are great love the tardis
When The Doctor Was Me
January 22nd, 2020 - 6:45pmReally like this!
Hoping Smytbs stock all of these so I can choose paint apps! To many times have I ordered online and the face has bleed or marks.
Doctorbendisco
January 22nd, 2020 - 2:14pmWill it be realised on amazon.co.uk

January 22nd, 2020 - 5:04amIt’s a retooled classic box so don’t expect window lighting or an interior card
The Ergon
January 22nd, 2020 - 12:41amThis is ok if it has the electronic TARDIS sound effects but it looks a bit basic and doesn,t grab me. It would be great if you could get the inlay stickers for the inside to ‘set it off’.

Daz
January 21st, 2020 - 11:05pmIt’s nice I like it, but this version won’t have the scale of the bigger modern boxes when put with them if they are using the existing classic box.
I notice there are no cuts in the top and bottom of the posts which are unique to this Tardis and the windows should have that corrugated pattern but if this is the only way to make it for the cost I happy they mad it as close as possible.
I might buy it to display in the box but I prefer my custom 13th Tardis as it’s in scale with the new boxes and has details like the cuts and the corrugated window pattern.
