February 28th, 2021 - 3:52pmNeed help finding a new cap peice to this lamp any help
Exterminator
July 28th, 2017 - 11:42amThink Geek currently have the shipping option to the uk available again but they’ve increased the price of the lava lamp to $39.99.
Exterminator
July 28th, 2017 - 11:49amPlease note, the United Kingdom is available as the destination country, I didn’t actually proceed to the checkout stage as I already have one.
booboo
July 28th, 2017 - 11:59amjust tried still cant buy one in the UK once you get to checkout
Exterminator
July 28th, 2017 - 12:19pmWhat a shame. I’ve no idea what’s going on with this.
Exterminator
July 28th, 2017 - 12:26pmI wonder if it’s because it contains paraffin? Maybe they weren’t supposed to ship these on a plane?
booboo
July 28th, 2017 - 12:53pmi think its more about licensing
Anonymous
July 25th, 2017 - 11:55amNOTE: ThinkGeek have just pulled this from shipping to the UK now. I tried to Order one last night & a Shipping Restriction is now in place against Shipping to the UK.
Exterminator
July 25th, 2017 - 12:50pmOh no! That’s a shame.
Booboo, see above.
Exterminator
July 25th, 2017 - 8:09pmWhen I placed my order with Think Geek, there’s a warning notice informing that the lamp contains material that is known to be cancer causing.
I’m wondering if this ‘material’ is banned in the E.U. and as such Think Geek have had to stop shipping to the uk and Europe?
booboo
July 25th, 2017 - 8:27pmalthough the warning only seems to cover the State of California.
Anonymous
July 25th, 2017 - 9:52pmFor those lucky few that got one well done! It’s a Licensing issue like many items from the usa.
Exterminator
July 21st, 2017 - 12:06pmWow, I am so impressed with Think Geek, my lamp has just been delivered. 2 days delivery time from America and I chose the cheaper option!!!
It’s all in one piece, and thankfully I didn’t have to pay any import fee’s or taxes so the total cost including delivery to the uk was £48.
I can’t wait to switch it on just as soon as the voltage converter plug arrives, which incidentally was being sent from the uk so that’ll arrive sometime next week probably.
I recommend everyone use Think Geek that wants this. 🙂
Exterminator
July 21st, 2017 - 12:58pmThat’s £39 for the lamp and £9 for the voltage converter USA to U.K. (eBay).
booboo
July 21st, 2017 - 3:02pmThat’s really good
That happened to me when I ordered the Tardis lights from them and the adaptor from a UK eBay seller no guesses which one arrive first
Exterminator
July 18th, 2017 - 8:26pmI just ordered one from Think Geek at $29.99, they ship to the uk, the total was just over $48 with shipping. I paid with PayPal and because the £ is so weak at the moment it came to just under £39.
U.S. to U.K. Power adapters are available on eBay for a couple of pounds.
booboo
July 18th, 2017 - 8:40pmthinkgeek shipping to the UK has always been good, ordered much from them myself
slightly concerned as to the now obvious overpricing by other sites on this product though.
Exterminator
July 18th, 2017 - 8:40pmI just checked, a power voltage converter is needed, they’re about £9 on eBay.
booboo
July 18th, 2017 - 8:43pmyes we have the Tardis lights and use one for those
Pip
July 18th, 2017 - 8:59pmWhat was the shipping option?
Exterminator
July 18th, 2017 - 9:18pmIt’s UPS (united parcel service so may have to pay import tax before delivery) the options were:
UPS Expedited $18.29 6-10 days
UPS Express Saver $18.97 4-6 days
Plus weirdly the more expensive Economy at $27.72 which I think was something like 20days.
Moodbeam
July 18th, 2017 - 9:52pmI might have to order one next week provided they’re still in stock. I assume that this won’t be a limited run and that they’ll keep having them in stock (I understand that there may be times where they are waiting for deliveries)? Also, what do you think the likely import charges will be? I’m so very tempted by this but I’ve never ordered from abroad before.
booboo
July 18th, 2017 - 9:58pmimport charges are 20% of the total price including post them £8 Royal mail / Ups handling charge
this is something the GOV need to look at because paying vat is one thing but the totally disproportionate handing charge is another.
Pip
July 18th, 2017 - 10:11pmThank you 🙂 so somewhere in the region of £55 all in. I’ll definitely have to wait until next week but I would certainly like one, it is beautiful.
Exterminator
July 18th, 2017 - 10:18pmLamp and shipping Think Geek £39
U.S. to U.K. voltage ‘step down’ power converter from eBay £9
UPS import charge and handling fee will be approx £14
Total price £62 approx.
booboo
July 18th, 2017 - 10:24pmfor the record, i have never been charged import tax from thinkgeek but i know some who have
luck of the drawer i suppose
Exterminator
July 19th, 2017 - 1:44pmI’ll let you know if I have to pay any import charges and fees. But I just hope it arrives in one piece.
Exterminator
July 14th, 2017 - 11:30pmI’d love to know how or where the fan show got their console lamp? Was it a promo freebie and did they have to change the American power plug for a U.K. One?
booboo
July 15th, 2017 - 8:27amthey would have been sent it, they used an adaptor which you can buy for the voltage difference
A UK seller would not be able to sell it without a fitted UK plug and the CE mark to show it conforms to safety requirements.
TheWarDoctor
July 10th, 2017 - 5:39pm” Not at this time. Only offered in North American territories. There are some retailers who will ship to the UK, however. WibbilyWobblyTimeyWimey.com, for instance. Thanks for your interest in the TARDIS Console Lamp!”
they told me this
booboo
July 10th, 2017 - 5:48pmthe problem is it would have to have a UK plug fitted and the CE safety mark and re packaged accordingly to retail it in this country so it needs a UK distributor to take that on i don’t see it happening
Exterminator
July 10th, 2017 - 12:16pm$50 in the U.S so hopefully it’ll be around £35 in the U.K. If we ever get it here.
Anonymous
July 14th, 2017 - 7:07pmIt won’t be available in the UK & I’m not paying the current £100 charge that it’s being advertised at!
Whotube
May 1st, 2017 - 10:10pmThe really tall series9 capaldi figures might eork with this console because they are so tall.
K. Alan McDougall
April 22nd, 2017 - 7:45pmI wonder if they’ve ever considered using a (greenscreened in) version of this time rotor for the TV series (or fan films)? It’d reinforce the concept that the Tardis is as much a living thing as it is a mechanism…
Prydonian
April 21st, 2017 - 4:51amDo we know of any rough price guide and if the console segments are metal or plastic?
Exterminator
April 22nd, 2017 - 11:14amNo idea on price yet and I’m guessing plastic.
TORCHWOODFAN1
April 20th, 2017 - 6:21pmIt would be nice if they did this in green as well like the series 7b TARDIS
Exterminator
April 20th, 2017 - 11:59amI asked the manufacturer on Facebook if they’re planning any other colours for the lava lamp, they replied that they did some research and orange came out top followed by purple which they’re also considering at some point in the future.
I requested a red lamp.
The Outcast
April 21st, 2017 - 9:11amI’m personally hoping for a blue (series 7b TARDIS), but Purple, Red and Green would also be cool.
Exterminator
April 19th, 2017 - 11:02amAll this needs is a raised floor, some roundel walls and door and you’ve got yourself a cool retro looking classic console room for figures. Why couldn’t Character Options do something like this!!!!
booboo
April 19th, 2017 - 11:11amprobably because i think people would expect something much more detailed to be honest
Exterminator
April 19th, 2017 - 11:22amTrue but this is just crying out to be customised, I can’t wait to see what people do with these lamps when they get them.
Just imagine a black lava lamp version as the masters Tardis. Very cool.
Exterminator
April 19th, 2017 - 5:36pmI wonder if this would fit into the 9th/10th Dr’s Tardis play set in place of the console from that set? It would be cool if the floor panels fitted around this lamp.
The Living Shadow
April 19th, 2017 - 11:59pmI was thinking that too, it looks to be a similar size. That would make customisation a lot easier!
larry Jensen
July 5th, 2017 - 6:36pmThe plastic console panel is aprox 3 3/4 ” high at the edge. 8 inches wide across square and 10 inches across point to point. My store just got them in.
Chris
April 18th, 2017 - 9:59pmAt 4:34 in the video it can be seen with a figure next to it. Is that one of the 3.5″ figures? Looks too small to be a 5.5″ figure. If it’s on of the smaller line figures, then the 5.5″ figures should look awesome next to this. Might get one just to strip out the center of it and try to turn it into a legit toy console with time rotor and everything. Even if you just made a mold of the console itself, it would be a great starting point for a custom TARDIS console!
Tom Baker Plush
April 18th, 2017 - 10:57pmThat’s definitely a 5.5″ figure, they don’t make a 3.75″ figure of that variant. It’s a little too big but I bet it’d look ace when painted properly
larry Jensen
July 5th, 2017 - 6:26pmFYI. The total height is 15 inches. The console is 8″ across flat 10 point to point. Outside of the control panel is aprox. 3 3/4 ” high
Anonymous
July 14th, 2017 - 5:56pmWhy would it look like Ace? 😉
Anonymous
April 18th, 2017 - 4:42pmSo is this availible in the uk?
booboo
April 18th, 2017 - 5:11pmwe don’t know for sure

JasonisnotaRobot
April 17th, 2017 - 11:05pmFirst piece of merchandise in years that I desperately want, looks amazing
Exterminator
April 17th, 2017 - 7:08pmNow this I really love. I didn’t get the Tardis or Dalek lamp but I want one of these.
Exterminator
April 18th, 2017 - 12:58amI would prefer a red lava lamp version though.
Doctor Mysterio
April 17th, 2017 - 5:53pmThis looks good. I avidly avoid the so called ‘fan show’ so thanks for letting me know. Wonder why America get all this stuff for a British programme?
booboo
April 17th, 2017 - 6:01pmits because the businesses making many items you see are USA based and no distributor in the UK wants to take this stuff on, at least at the moment.
There are other complications such a regional licenses and different voltages and safety requirements
Borg
April 17th, 2017 - 10:43pmI’m totally with you on the anti-fan show thing
Anonymous
April 17th, 2017 - 5:26pmAs someone who doesnt use facebook…can someone please me the cost…?
booboo
April 17th, 2017 - 5:29pmno cost i given yet
larry Jensen
July 5th, 2017 - 6:31pmIn Canada I am selling for $120 including taxes and domestic shipping. Would ship over for $89. Cnd plus freight. http://www.michaelrodents.com/Doctorwhoatmichaelrodents.html
The Dalek Whovian
April 17th, 2017 - 5:15pmSo I’m guessing with a bit of modification this could fit in with some figure range ?
Anonymous
April 17th, 2017 - 4:57pmTrouble is, will this only be available in the USA as usual?
booboo
April 17th, 2017 - 5:31pmNorth American territories
The problem is this like other merchandise relies on a UK distributor taking it on and there doesn’t seem to be one
Anonymous
April 17th, 2017 - 6:46pmI thought so. I’ll cross it off my purchase list now then. It will probably cost about £40 from the US either on ebay or Amazon. Add the Shipping cost will be another £30-40 plus the Import Fee/Surcharge & you will be looking at £90-100 sadly. Great product, but just sorry I won’t be buying it.
booboo
April 17th, 2017 - 6:49pmwe have FYE, Thinkgeek and Amazon.com as retailers at the moment
The Doctor Who fan show seem to be actively promoting this and its essentially aimed at UK viewers so maybe they know something we don’t
Anonymous
April 25th, 2017 - 6:29pmI think that they know that they get free stuff.
Ryan
April 17th, 2017 - 4:53pmI’ve particularly liked lava lamps, or though that they were for me… but now I feel I NEED this. I just love it and I really like how the console is just a basic template of all the buttons and levers with no colour! I WANT THIS!
Jordan Scott
April 17th, 2017 - 4:48pmIf this isn’t too expensive I might get it and paint all of the console buttons!
12th Doctor Fan
April 17th, 2017 - 2:01pmI love this, it’s fantastic.
Dav McKenzie
April 17th, 2017 - 1:58pmI noticed this in the background of the DW Fan Show. Looks cool shame its not more of a replica with more detail but I get that the lava is meant to be the star of the show!
MickeySmith07
April 17th, 2017 - 1:55pmI’d love to get this. It’s so cool
Christopher Gilbert
April 17th, 2017 - 2:31pmI would too!
The Living Snowman
April 17th, 2017 - 1:54pmShame it’s not in scale with the 5 inch figures! Looks very nice though :p
The Outcast
April 17th, 2017 - 2:17pmIt sorta is though. If you raised the figures up to around the start of the rotor (the small bit of it under the rotor), then it sorta works as a 5.5 Tardis console from what I saw of it on the fan show.
The Living Snowman
April 17th, 2017 - 2:24pmOh right, well that’s good- I like it even more now!
The Outcast
April 17th, 2017 - 1:30pmSaw this on the Fan show. It seems to be roughly in scale with the 5.5 if you raise the Floor level a bit (place the figures higher up). Even without that cross compatibility it still is a great idea for a product.
larry Jensen
July 5th, 2017 - 6:34pmOutside edge of the control panel is aprx 3 3/4 ” high
