      I mean I know what is in series 3 of character building so let’s guess whats in series 4

  • Fraslam10

    January 25th, 2012 - 8:40pm

    I think there would be ten figures in total because:
    1. Dalek Sec (In The Wave)
    2. Sontaran with interchangeable heads
    3. Judoon with interchangeable heads
    4. Amy with Tally Marks
    5. Ood
    6. Doctor In Green Coat
    7. Madame Kovarian
    8. Cyberleader
    9. Vashta Nerada
    10. Rory with Eye Drive

    Then the Bronze Dalek is in the Dalek Spaceship set, the Silent and River Song in the Silence Time Machine Set and The Handbot in The Girl Who Waited Set.

      Don’t forget that blind pack figures cross over into the sets and the only one that is not a series 3 figure is the Silent.
      So without the Silent there are 15 figures, and the super rares aren’t usually displayed, so maybe there won’t be any super rares this time

      it is possible (although i dont know) that if this the entire 2012 range that some could be exclusives like the Argos cybermen pack ie 5 Sontarans and one with helmet on

      The silent isn’t in series 3 it’s in series 2 but it’s on there because its in the silent time machine set , the judoon and sontaron have interchangeable masks and I don’t know about The black dalek

    • Chris97

      January 25th, 2012 - 11:58pm

      They DONT have interchangeable masks! Dalek Sec, Judoon Captain and Sotaran commander are rare with the Dalek, Judoon Trooper and Sontaran Trooper being the common version.

    The Judoon helmet can’t be removable, as the ears are to big to get it on and off. I presume it’s the same with the Sontaron.

    • King of the Cybermen

      January 25th, 2012 - 6:16pm

      I doubt it. The Handbot that is displayed is probably only from TGWW set, the river and Silent from the Silent TARDIS and the bronze Dalek from the Dalek spaceship! Just thought of it but you never know! 🙂

    • King of the Cybermen

      January 25th, 2012 - 6:17pm

      Maybe they are just trying to trick us by using that one for super rares lol! 🙂 🙂 thats probably not true though.

    • BOOBOO JR

      January 25th, 2012 - 6:20pm

      Cheers Time And Relative Dimension In Space, and King of the Cybermen, your theory on the figures from the sets is probaly wrong (Sorry!) as all the ones from the sets are on the promotion poster that says Series 3 in the right-hand corner.

    • King of the Cybermen

      January 25th, 2012 - 6:22pm

    • BOOBOO JR

      January 25th, 2012 - 6:26pm

      I’ve realised your King of the Sontarans, you mentioned to me that you might change your name to King of the Cybermen soon! As for the Silent, I’m pretty sure it won’t be appearing in this Series. We had the Closed-Mouth one last Series, and the Open-Mouth is an Argos Exclusive so they can’t really re-release it. I think it was just on display as they used it in the Silent Time Machine Set.

    • BOOBOO JR

      January 25th, 2012 - 6:28pm

      Time And Relative Dimension In Space, the one you can get in a Five pack is the AGMGTW Version (The one without a Cybus Logo on it’s chestplate) this is a Cybus one from The Next Doctor. It’s a small change, but essentially, a new figure.

    I have a few questions, that I would appreciate if someone answered them:

    Is the Dalek Factory set worth it?

    Aren’t there supposed to be 10? Then why are there 16, does that mean 6 super rares?!

    When I go to a shop with CB figures, I always wondered where to get the box with the 30 packs (I think that’s how many), but I only see a box with packs that you buy sepretaly. Where can I get the box?

    Please answer! 🙂 🙂

      The boxes of 36 packets are available from Forbidden planet, priced around £69.99, but you can also get them from places like amazon and Ebay for around the same price. There are 16 figures, and I don’t know for sure why. But my theory is that there are 10, and some come with the sets (River and Silent in Silence ship, Bronze Daleks in Dalek ship, Handbot in TGWW set, etc) and the Judoon and Sontarans are the same but with removable helmets. It could be possible that there are 16 though, because there are 15 Deadly 60 ones.

    BTW, ever done Travel and Tourism ?

    I’m at this subject now, we all use computers for the work.

    The work is , for me, difficult, because I don’t have good enough an idea of what it is we are trying to do.

    If the teacher gave a better explanation, and maybe sat with me at my computer for a minute, I’d be able to actually attempt something, but alas, the teacher and his desk, are one. ❓

      “Do that job well”

      If I were a Co worker, I would get it right.

      The CB figure looks good, the image of the figure looks just right, but on the real figure, the Bowtie is brighter 🙁 and the coat brighter aswell. It should be a greenish BROWN, not a brownish GREEN !

      let’s hope the finnished product looks as good as the CB image, and they make a good 5″ version of this figure.

      And WHERE IS THE MINOTAUR ?!! ❗ ❓
