    I’m looking for something to light up a dark-ish corner of my bedroom and have come across this… if anyone has this product or remembers it:
    Does it switch off after 10 minutes? is there any way to stop that?
    How bright is the light? I’m looking for a warm, soft light to take the edge off the darkness.

    Wanting to check if it’s worth today’s prices!

    This looks awesome! I have one question: Is it worth the money?

      If you have to ask that question then you are not worthy.

    Well, I finally got one of these (we only just got them in Australia). I nearly fell over when I saw the variant one in store, so of course that’s the one I got! 🙂

    I have to say… I REALLY love this. Yes, it’s a tad expensive ($39 here), but I’m getting a lot of fun out of this (it’s particularly great for slightly older DW fans I think).

    I picked the variant edition up today. I like it, particularly the flickering white; however I find that I really have to shake it hard to activate it. I think I would have preferred a switch underneath it like on the TARDIS.

      The variant one ? Is that the 1 with gallifreyan patterns. What is the difference is one of them just rarer ?

    • Mels

      September 3rd, 2011 - 2:45pm

      Try holding it and tapping the edge – I find that works far better than shaking it. 🙂

      That’s probably because the Doctor Called it a psychic container at the beginning of the episode

      But I think that was him explaining to his companions what it is, not what it’s called.

      July 24th, 2011 - 4:25pm

      If you think that’s bad, the Australian distributer has listed this as a ‘Conciousness Mood Cube’. 😯

      That name will go down as one of life’s eternal mysteries I think.

    Apparently there is one variant in every 12 containers.

    Not confirmed, but that’s what a few sellers have said.

      I got 4 heads out of 5 pods, but only one head in each pod!

      I rather suspect some sorting machine (or person) burped to get that result, since 3 unique pieces would be the desired assortment…

      Someone already brought out Torchwood figures, but I don’t think it was CO. They were awful quality and were notably larger than CO’s 5″ figure ranges. I reckon CO would do a good job with Torchwood figures.
