      sometime next week people are saying, i have heard the “take up” is very good meaning you might just see these in newsagents etc

    Has anyone actually got a super rare yet?
    I bought 5 packs today (all that was in argos) and I got the following:

    2 x Regular Doctors
    1 x Dalek Drone
    1 x Weeping Angel Screaming
    1 x Cyberman

    A pretty good selection considering people were getting 7 Doctors at a time.

    Anyone selling any they dont want?

      I’d presume the Super Rare’s will not be sent out until the boxes properly come out (rather than these smaller batches of a few packets).

    I get £5 a week pocket money
    So me and my mum have decided, instead of getting £5 every week
    For one week every month, instead of getting £5 I get two micro figures

    Me and my friend bought 15 packets from various Argos stores and this is what we got:

    Doctor (Red) x 3
    Cyberman
    Weeping Angel (serene)
    Amy Pond
    Dalek (Strategist)
    Dalek (Drone) x 8

    The ration of Red Daleks seems very high, shame really but i suppose we can build an army at this rate.

  • Scarywood

    April 30th, 2011 - 1:32pm

    Eeek at the limited amount of each figure. I only want the Raggedy Doctor from this selection and maybe Alaya. Would have prefered it more if Alaya had a mask and if it was indeed in wave 1 instead of Restac. It would have made more sense to make Restac a super rare figure rather than Alaya.

      CO have not said that it is limited yet, they will announce the rarity shortly. Until then all claims have to be assumed as speculation.

    • Scarywood

      April 30th, 2011 - 1:55pm

      Ah fair enough. It seems certain that they will be limited though, whatever the number will be. ‘Super Rare’ can only lead us to think that we’ll all be paying a lot of money for them on online auction sites.

    • Innes

      April 30th, 2011 - 11:17am

      Yes they really are, I think CO sent out 5 packs with certain figures to see how they would sell, so they sent out a Doctor figure in each delivery so people could get a figure of the doctor

      But Argos should have the boxes in on the 4th of May
