Character Building Dalek Skimmer Mini Vehicle

When huge Dalek saucers appear in the skies of planets they are invading, they release hundreds of Dalek Skimmers from their launch bays, swarming over a planet to hunt down and exterminate any survivors!

Bristling with missiles and advanced Dalek weaponry, and piloted by two Daleks, the Dalek Skimmer strikes fear into the heart of all who see them!

    I’ve noticed that these new packs (Dalek Skimmer & Cyberman Speeder) now are glued down in the box instead of a security seal. Both side panels also feature what micro-figures are in the packs as well…

      where did you get yours booboo? and where can you get them?

      April 17th, 2013 - 6:54pm

      They probably would have fixed it this time so you get two 2005 daleks.

      April 19th, 2013 - 4:55pm

      in the dalek sphere you get: 1 dalek and a 2005 dalek. why?

      April 19th, 2013 - 9:32pm

      Originally this set was supposed to come with a red drone, 2005 dalek and Sec

      April 20th, 2013 - 6:33pm

      I think it was two gold drones and sec, but now as its only two gold drones (which you can pick up as blind packs) I don’t see the point in wanting it

    • the living shadow

      April 19th, 2013 - 9:39pm

      I might just use a Sharpy permanent marker pen and colour in one of them. They’re common figure, and easy to feel for, in the blindbags so it won’t really be ruining it

    • booboo

      April 16th, 2013 - 9:48pm

      6/10

      The thing is, although this was never in the show, it has a much better “playability” factor than any of the previous £10 sets

      Same goes for the Cyberman one.

      i can see why they have done this

    • The Driver

      April 16th, 2013 - 9:51pm

      Why?

    • booboo

      April 16th, 2013 - 9:54pm

      because it has 4 swivel guns, fuel pipes and torpedoes and you can hold it and “fly” it

    • The Driver

      April 16th, 2013 - 9:58pm

      The guns move? That is so cool! I’m not really into kiddy play though, I only like collecting them and then kind of playing with them.

    • booboo

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:03pm

      if you look at the previous sets

      Dalek progenitor room
      weeping angel set
      girl who waited
      doctor in Berlin

      These were basically “static” sets

      These new ones should have much more appeal to “younger” fans who want to play

    • trenzalore

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:01pm

      it’s beggining to sound quiet cool

    • The Driver

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:04pm

      The two mini sets have appealed to me from the start since I saw photos from the toy fair

    • The Driver

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:07pm

      @booboo mini sets don’t really appeal to me. I have the angel and progenitor room sets though. They’re great, but I did hope they would do more ships like the saucer plus I like these speeders

    • booboo

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:10pm

      this is also why the 3.75 sets will appeal

      The 4 sets all link up back to back to make one large set with the Tardis in the middle so its occupants can “arrive” in any one of the 4 playsets

    • The Driver

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:11pm

      However, when i do have spare time, I do love to get my playsets and minifigures out and actually play with them :mrgreen:

    • The Driver

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:12pm

      So you’re comparing the playsets to like a board game?

    • booboo

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:13pm

      sort of, like hunted house where you had different rooms

    • The Driver

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:14pm

      I don’t like the idea of 3.75″ though. I liked it when they were 5″. If they had been 3.75″ then maybe I would have liked them as I would have been use to them.

    • The Driver

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:16pm

      This idea of it being a haunted house is music to my ears. I wish I’d found this out long ago.

    • The Driver

      April 16th, 2013 - 10:19pm

      Do you have any ideas for the conversion chamber as to what you can do with it other than converting the space captain? I have lots of ideas for what I can do with my other playsets like infiltrating the dalek factory.
