    Well mine finally arrived today, as I should have expected it came with only one Bronze Dalek. If that wasn’t bad enough the bloody thing is missing its eye stalk.

    As for the ship itself, not too bad. a few loose parts that tend to fall off and there is hardly much room in the interior, plus thats where you’l find most of the fidly bits. But the main build is rather solid and will only break if you drop it.

    I’d say 4 out of 5.

      That must be annoying to not have the eyestalk. CO really need to sort out the quality control of their products. It’s getting out of hand now! 😕

      Amazon for £25.45, that includes postage. £5 cheaper than Argos, though probably by next year they will have slashed the price by half.

    Why oh why cant they release a proper die-cast Corgi style Dalek Spaceship? One that looks more like the real thing. Hopefully for the 50th celebrations 😉

    Still not so keen on it. I never have thought much of it really. The only set I’ll be buying this year is The Girl Who Waited set which, as I’ve said before, is probably the best CB Doctor Who set yet. 🙂 I hope CB will improve next year. It’ll be very disappointing if there isn’t much for the 50th Anniversary.

    Is there an email I could complain to Character about as I noticed a lot of people had gotten a red dalek drone in this set, so I phone my Mum to open mine for me back in the UK, and mine contains one too, and would like a replacement dalek, so any idea who i should email to see if they can send me one?

      one Gold one red, i emailed character and they said they would send another gold one as i thought it was a packing mistake – since found out they are all like it from what i have been told.

      Box and instructions clearly show 2 gold ones – i don’t think anyone wants anymore red drones

    • Douglas Fir

      July 19th, 2012 - 10:35pm

      Funnily enough I have just emailed them a complaint too – hopefully will receive a replacement figure too.
      At least with the open mouth Silent on the other new set the packaging is vague – this packaging clearly shows two gold ones all over so that is what I expected.

      We do if it means you get three figures instead of just two.

    • KORSAIR

      July 20th, 2012 - 12:34am

      I’m on two minds weather to buy it now if we aren’t getting two gold Daleks, I suppose they are trying to get rid of their surplus supply of red drones. Character should consider selling off the remaining waves 1 and 2 figures cheaper as when my local Argos reduced the price 3 or more box loads went in about 4 days.

    • The12thDoctor

    • Douglas Fir

      July 20th, 2012 - 1:23pm

      Just heard back from them – they’ve asked me to return the red Dalek Drone to them via a Freepost address and they’ll send me a gold Dalek Drone in 2-3 weeks time.

      They do seem to acknowledge that it’s a mistake and say that they “released a very small number of these sets with a Gold Drone Dalek and a Red Dalek Drone” – not sure if that means all of the ones out there are affected or not.

      I hope it is just a packing mistake and not a sneaky way to get rid of excess stock. Because that’s why Series 3 has been delayed and probably why they’re trying to sell a Monsters Multi-Pack in Argos. I was going to pick up the Dalek Spaceship in Argos tomorrow but will probably get the Silence Tardis instead now
