September 6th, 2014 - 3:14pm!!!!! MINE ARRIVED TODAY AND IT WAS THE 11th ‘RE PACKAGED TO CAPALDI CAN SOME ONE EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAPPENED!? (I ordered it from amazon.co.UK)
booboo
September 6th, 2014 - 3:16pmyou need to contact the retailer who sold it to you
doctor W
September 6th, 2014 - 3:18pmWow that is silly. Hope you get a refund
GallifreyanKnight
September 6th, 2014 - 5:43pmYou ordered the wrong one.
EndlessTimelord
September 6th, 2014 - 8:30pmNo I definitely did order the right one
David1996
September 7th, 2014 - 2:48pmMine was the same….They give a refund and the option to either keep the item or to send it back for any posting costs to be refunded..
EndlessTimelord
September 7th, 2014 - 3:29pmSo they don’t actually have the touch control sonic screwdriver?
The Face of Boe
September 7th, 2014 - 5:21pmI got stung by this but I believe the retailer when they said it was an accident and they were very contrite and helpful in the end.
It isn’t even in stock on the CO website.
David1996
September 8th, 2014 - 8:26pmI have to agree, it is a genuine mistake and the seller was very nice about it…not many sellers would offer a refund and a free sonic like that.
However until it’s either in stock in the Entertainer and on the CO site, I think I’ll wait for this

September 8th, 2014 - 8:29pmLOL
The valeyard
September 8th, 2014 - 9:28pmThis happened to me, i bought mine from a seller on Amazon, i guess no one really knows when it will be released
merchandise FAN
September 5th, 2014 - 9:05pmWhat’s the difference?
Dalekparadigm2
September 5th, 2014 - 11:55pmNot a lot, it’s now touch activated (no more button on the end) and the end is now a ‘power core’. It’s not much change but still a nice addition.
David
September 5th, 2014 - 6:30pmFP now say delayed on my order – no stock yet.

September 4th, 2014 - 9:10pmAnyone reviewed this version yet?

Hello Rusty

Hello Rusty
September 24th, 2014 - 2:20amHe also reviewed it that is how I know
Rusty The Dalek
September 4th, 2014 - 8:08pmThe Removable Power Core has featured in Series 8!
In “Into The Dalek”, The Doctor gives the ‘spare’ core to Ross to swallow, so he can track it’s signature and follow the anti-bodies
So there you go, it IS canon
Anonymous
September 5th, 2014 - 8:03amHow do u know it was the power core he gave to ross
David
September 6th, 2014 - 8:26amThe script says spare battery so could be….

The valeyard
September 3rd, 2014 - 6:24pmWell it seems to be out everywhere but uk, which seems weird.
The four Doctors
August 28th, 2014 - 11:18amNow Forbidden planet have changed the date to the 30th of August, they did this with the universal remotes 😡
Hello Rusty
September 24th, 2014 - 2:21amGetting it when it comes out
Doctorwhofan561
August 28th, 2014 - 10:12amWhat happened to the single button sonic does anyone know
Sebatron
August 31st, 2014 - 1:36amI got one a couple of months ago from Popcultcha. It’s really good. No power core though.
Charlie
September 6th, 2014 - 1:00amWill it be released in the UK?
Sebatron
September 8th, 2014 - 10:17amNot sure…
the8thdoctorandbeyond
August 28th, 2014 - 12:34amI was going to get this because it looked ten times better and I never got the elevenths not because I didn’t won’t to but, I had no money to spend it on. should I buy this or not?
The four Doctors
August 28th, 2014 - 11:17amYes you should
NCC1701D
August 27th, 2014 - 8:07pmYou know I could be wrong, but I’m sure that in Deep Breath when the Sonic is rolling round on the floor that there was a hinge on the bottom, so maybe the button on the end of the original toy was accurate after all but just never shown onscreen.
Russell Sellers
August 27th, 2014 - 8:54pmActually, in the episode “The Time of Angels” the 11th doctor uses the button on the bottom of the screwdriver to “sonic” river. Just a little tidbit of info for you 🙂
NCC1701D
August 27th, 2014 - 9:26pmSo it would seem the button on the bottom wasn’t so much of a ‘gimmick’ after all.
Russell Sellers
August 27th, 2014 - 9:58pmThe weak hinge was annoying, but that is down to poor materials.
Minembo
August 29th, 2014 - 3:00amWell the reason for that is because on the show prop it had a tiny magnet to hold it but the character options one didn’t…
doctor W
August 27th, 2014 - 4:59pmHas this been dispatched to people and FP stores yet?
the astronaut of death
August 27th, 2014 - 1:12pmI wonder if the power core will be is season 8
doctor W
August 27th, 2014 - 4:43pmLikely not, CO seem to do lots of non canon stuff with their sonics. Always possible though….
planetofthewhovians
August 27th, 2014 - 12:54pmI love the idea of the bottom core but I do have worries weather or not it’s going to be securely on as the 11th dr sonic had that hinge that would never close ,but in my eyes this is a great improvement especially the touch sensitive feature .
the astronaut of death
August 27th, 2014 - 12:48pmBooboo will the BBC shop get this?
booboo
August 27th, 2014 - 12:53pmdont knwo
The living shadow
August 27th, 2014 - 12:48pmWhat does it mean by touch control?
booboothethird
August 27th, 2014 - 3:27pmwhen your finger is holding it by the back and you place your thumb on it at the top it will activate
The living shadow
August 27th, 2014 - 12:47pmI looked on the forbidden planet website and it says this is sold out. How can it, it was never even in store?!
The four Doctors
August 27th, 2014 - 12:59pmMaybe they aren’t in the warehouse yet, and are stocking for them.
Doctor RevWho
August 27th, 2014 - 10:50amVery nice. I might get this.
drwhocollector
August 27th, 2014 - 10:23amI’ll definitely be getting this
CB Doctor
August 27th, 2014 - 8:59amI saw a repackaged 11th Doctors sonic at Toys R Us yesterday, but it didn’t mention any of these features and just said ‘The Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver’. Is it the same one?
booboo
August 27th, 2014 - 9:01amno this is different has “touch control”
the one you saw like you say is just the 11th repackaged
The four Doctors
August 23rd, 2014 - 9:41pmSo is this out now? I want to know because I am going to Forbidden Planet tommorow. Please reply…
DocEke
August 27th, 2014 - 8:22amI believe so, yes.
The Doctor
August 15th, 2014 - 6:58pmWhat exactly is “the power core”?
the astronaut of death
August 15th, 2014 - 7:02pmwe don’t relay know
as it has never actually been on the series
I imagine it might be where the sonic gets its power from or something like that.
it might be included in series 8
Kekoa
August 13th, 2014 - 5:42pmdoes anyone know where to order this in the US
NCC1701D
August 11th, 2014 - 3:52pmCan anyone tell me, does Amazon have these available now, by which I mean not for pre-order but for sale now, as the Amazon page suggests, or have you got to wait, because both Forbidden Planet and Forbidden Planet International don’t get them for a few weeks yet. Oh and it is the touch Sonic as the page suggests and not actually the single button one.
GalafrayLord
August 14th, 2014 - 6:54pmI think amazon does but it’s very expensive
David1996
August 19th, 2014 - 9:11pmI bought mine from Amazon, Is currently on its way to me 😀
EndlessTimelord
August 6th, 2014 - 5:32pmJust ordered it does anyone else have it
David1996
August 6th, 2014 - 8:54pmyes just a wait for it to come 😀
EndlessTimelord
August 9th, 2014 - 4:33pmCan you tell me what it’s like and please can I see a photo
GalafrayLord
August 14th, 2014 - 6:53pmNice toy
Anthony
August 2nd, 2014 - 1:01pmGreat way to start of the merchindise as well as the 5inch Capaldi regeneration and the midget release – and the other 3.75inch line. Will one hundred per cent be buying this. Glad to see they stuck with 11’s I was angry at first but seeing this sonic looks amamzing – really like the prop. Take it Votesaxon will be happy on YouTube. His Modifications were great though finall they listen! Lol. :Shock: 😎
EndlessTimelord
August 5th, 2014 - 4:34pmI will maybe pick it up but did you know that they released a one button sonic screwdriver?

Sebatron
August 8th, 2014 - 10:14amYeah I got that one! It is really good, no power core, but it looks and works really well! If you have the chance, get either one of these! 🙂
WFK DVD Collector 14
August 1st, 2014 - 3:46pmIt’s not really the 12th Doctor’s sonic. It’s the same design as the 11th’s. Unless there’s a minor difference I’ve not noticed yet…
booboo
August 1st, 2014 - 3:49pmthey never did a touch control 11th
GallifreyanKnight
August 2nd, 2014 - 10:53amIt’ll be nice to finally have an 11th Doctor sonic screwdriver toy that is closer to working in the same way as the prop does. 🙂
