August 11th, 2018 - 8:20amI enquiried in both the bargins and home store near preston bus station, they won’t get them for a week or two yet

August 11th, 2018 - 7:15amB&B only get deliveries Friday’s and Monday’s according to the manager meaning that the sets will either be on shelves today (Saturday) tomorrow (Sunday) or Monday at the latest

August 11th, 2018 - 7:49amI’m going to check in B&M today. Let’s hope they may be out

August 11th, 2018 - 4:59amDo B&M still sell things like the Laser Screwdriver and stuff?

August 11th, 2018 - 7:02amThey sell The Twelfth Doctor sonic screwdriver and remote control Dalek.

August 11th, 2018 - 1:37amMy local store is getting 6 tardis sets on Monday.

August 10th, 2018 - 3:50pmI will be near the Bude store on Sunday. Will pop in to see if they have any.

August 10th, 2018 - 2:29pmPhoned a branch in west yorkshire. It seems as though its part of their autumn / christmas stock and they said it might be a few weeks before they get these in.
the ergon
August 10th, 2018 - 7:24pmI wonder if there are any B and M employees who might have a few tucked aside for themselves as they hit the shelves.
Anonymous
August 11th, 2018 - 6:00pmThis whole “Christmas stock” malarkey has been said on a few online forums. I wonder why they didn’t reveal them closer to their release date….
booboo
August 11th, 2018 - 6:17pmThey (if you mean B&M) didn’t reveal anything, we did, do you see them on B&M’s website, No, and everything is happening as we said it would quote The official release date for these sets is week commencing 13th August in Selected stores although they could arrive sooner / later. Stocks started to arrive on 10/08/2018.
The original date of the 6th, again given by us was set as an estimation months ago and was missed by just one week probably due to shipping/customs delays outside of B&M’s control
Oh and you want to tell that youtuber to stop spreading FAKE images
Ian O’Brien
August 10th, 2018 - 11:02amB&M tell me they are in the Warehouse but not all stores are allocated to have them. Could they not make it easier to buy the items? Rang several stores in Manchester and they won’t be getting them.
JonVic
August 10th, 2018 - 11:42amI have rung around all my stores close and far on the south coast and not one of them is getting the Tardis in. After all this anticipation it looks like I won’t be able to get one. Total farce really, what’s the point in this if people can’t get them? I assume there will be a few stores with them and the ebay scalpers will hoover them up and they will be £50-60 within a week.
Ian O’Brien
August 10th, 2018 - 3:41pmJonVic I would say email and complain but I sent a question about the sets yesterday and automated reply says allow 14 days to respond. Ridiculous!
JonVic
August 10th, 2018 - 4:56pmYes, I do think I am going to complain as the customer service on the phone has been pretty poor as well. With one exception the staff don’t seem to understand the way their own store works and in a couple of cases they seemed reluctant to even check stock for me. If they are going announce these sets on social media and try to create hype about them then there needs to be transparency on what is available, where and when. Surely that’s not too much to ask? They want this Doctor Who line to be a success and so do we, so we all need to work together to make sure the stuff is spread so everyone gets what they want. If they don’t do this it’s doomed!
booboo
August 10th, 2018 - 7:21pmThey don’t announce any of these on social media themselves and they are not worried as this is a tiny tiny part of their business.
Its the forums and news sites such this one that create the hype all on their own
Also their phone message specifically states they don’t check or reserve items on the shop floor so their staff are probably told not to (even though some do)
It’s been no different for the last 4 years to be honest
Anonymous
August 10th, 2018 - 6:50pm2 branches near me in Portsmouth are getting them in
MickeySmith07
August 10th, 2018 - 6:51pmSorry m, that was me
JonVic
August 10th, 2018 - 9:38pm@booboo: Ah, I thought they had announced them on Twitter, but it seems checking back on that I may have been mistaken. Just as well for sites such as this eh?
Well, I suppose the next few days will be telling and we will see which stores do get them in even if the staff seem to think they won’t have them.
If you give them the product code for the non-Tardis figures they are clearly just quoting the current stock of 2017 figures. It seems as if it just a case of seeing what turns up on the lorry and hoping for the best!
Anonymous
August 22nd, 2018 - 12:23amUnfortunately the triple figure sets are all put under the same product code so its practically impossible to track down the easy way using Torex.
The Tardis set however has it’s own unique product code so that of course will be easier to find using Torex, barring mistakes when DC charge a store for them and then fail to actually deliver the product and inconsistencies from stolen goods (If something is stolen but not known and declared as a stock adjust the stock count would be inconsistant until the next stock take, which only happens every 6 months)
@JonVic was this the Customer Service at a store or Head Office’s Customer service?
any calls at stores will normally be picked up by supervisors/managers depending on who is available at the time.
Anonymous
August 10th, 2018 - 10:48amB&m are probably the worst to get these kind of exclusives. Tried 4 B&M’s in my area just to see if they’re stocking them and no one answers the phone :’) so frustrating. Does anyone know what stores in SE London/Kent area get these?
Rhys
August 9th, 2018 - 11:26pmWhy do the twelfth doctor figures never have a waistcoat? There are very few occasions when no waistcoat is worn especially with that jacket.
Ian O’Brien
August 9th, 2018 - 3:21pmNot all the stores will be stocking them, example Sale in Manchester will be getting the figure sets but not the Tardis.
Ian
August 9th, 2018 - 9:33amDusted my displays and cabinets but made no room for these except the Tardis. That 4th Doctor looks good.
MickeySmith07
August 9th, 2018 - 8:26amI phoned up my local and asked them to check stock. They had none but they were able to tell me that they’re getting 12 of the figure sets and 6 of the TARDIS sets
Judooning
August 9th, 2018 - 9:34amSo we can assume that’s 4 of each of the three packs.
I wonder if they get re-stocks.
Anonymous
August 9th, 2018 - 10:21pmSo basically, most people will have to buy them off ebay & suchlike. Half the stores won’t get them in, a number will sell out immediately with no re-stocks, etc. Unlike my local B&M that took about 3 months after they were released to get them in & by then I had already bought them off the web.

August 9th, 2018 - 8:19amHi
Is there is list of which figures are new variants (distinct rather than slight repaints). I am sure I saw it somewhere on this site but can’t find it.
Also, has anyone established if the TARDIS is a canon design or if this just some obscure repaint of the 4th Doctor’s TARDIS. If the latter, I don’t think I’ll bother with that set…Unless the 3rd Doctor is a brand new variant.
Info appreciated.
BrunoB
August 9th, 2018 - 8:27amIt’s both a canon design and a repaint of the 4th doctor’s tardis. Looks amazing though.
All the figures are variants except Oswin
the ergon
August 9th, 2018 - 8:34amIt is canon but is also a repaint. The 3rd doctor is a variant of the one found in the 12 doctor set. Its also proving to be very popular and could sell out fast judging by a recent poll mentioned on this page.
Anonymous
August 9th, 2018 - 8:39amCool – cheers. Which story did the 3rd Doctor appear with that design TARDIS? I.e. the exterior used in 4th Doctor era and black base?
Tyler Prescott
August 9th, 2018 - 8:44pmThe TARDIS design was seen in Season 9, but with darker windows, and blue base.
Anonymous
August 9th, 2018 - 10:44pmSo this isn’t an official TARDIS design. From what I can gather the TARDIS has never had a black base and the exterior looks nothing like anything that was used in the 3rd Doctor era.
I wonder what processed them (is it CO?) To paint the base black?
Shane Cook
August 10th, 2018 - 12:58amAnnonymous, we start getting into TARDIS prop history here.
There are times the TARDIS had a black base, however most of the times during Pertwee it was more about camera lighting that made it look black. This one in question is debatable as it appears to be sourced from a photo when the TARDIS was in the console room of the Master. They either needed a rush base and used something black or it is shadow.
The TARDIS had a black base during season 17 in Tom’s era. this also had a white lamp, which I think would have been a better version to make as it is at least screen accurate
Anonymous
August 10th, 2018 - 1:02amWe also start to get into the actual shape of this box. It is nothing like what the actual Pertwee prop was. For the CO releases they have used the same wall design and base for all classic TARDISes, just changing the roof from Flat to stacked. A real Pertwee/early Tom should have a thinner non tappered base, a completely different lamp, a very wonky flat roof and reversed signage (black text on white). Very frustrating when CO just do something half arsed.
The Outcast
August 10th, 2018 - 1:08amI believe all the Classic TARDIS toys are based on the dimensions of the Yardley-Jones prop. Originally the idea was to do different TARDISes for each set, e.g. The 1st, 4th and 7th Doctors would all have accurate boxes.
But due to some inflation in oil prices or something, that became financially unviable, so as a result they had to alter the already designed 7th Doctor TARDIS to doubt as a 1st and 4th Doctor TARDIS as well, resulting in two TARDISes entirely inaccurate and one which now was slightly inaccurate.
BrunoB
August 10th, 2018 - 10:45amThat’s the version of the Tardis the toy is based on:

August 8th, 2018 - 4:47pmI’m not sure, I hope so. The one at the forge got the old sets in, though they still have a few of the 9th Doctor sets left.

August 11th, 2018 - 5:44pmThe 10th Doctor tuxedo figure wasn’t a B&M exclusive and, like the 12th Doctor figure, can be found in Forbidden Planet/your local sci-fi shop.

August 8th, 2018 - 2:03pmPlanning on getting the 11th and 12th doctor set. Not too interested in the other sets as I don’t really have a lot of classic who figures to along side with them.
Greg
August 8th, 2018 - 1:47pmMy local store has space on the shelves and price tags underneath for these sets.
Hopefully that means it won’t be too long until they hit the shelves.

August 8th, 2018 - 1:33pmIs the 3rd Doctor’s TARDIS the same scale as the flight control one?

August 8th, 2018 - 1:34pmYes. It’s a repaint of the 4th Doctors TARDIS.

August 8th, 2018 - 1:36pmI would imagine so. All TARDISes have been the right scale for the range

August 8th, 2018 - 2:03pmif that’s 2500 of each that’s not a huge amount to be honest, that could be as little as 5 per store

August 8th, 2018 - 2:31pmnot sure off hand i thought 4000 was mentioned at one time but that could be wrong
even if only half their stores get them that’s still only 10 per store puts it into perspective a bit

August 8th, 2018 - 6:34pmIt was a similar with last year’s figures that about 2,000/2,500 were made so not really surprised. And I am sure it will be 2,500 of each set
booboo
August 8th, 2018 - 6:40pmwell according to our poll 2700 visitors to this site alone are going to buy the 3rd doctor and Tardis set so we could be in trouble with that one
prototype dalek
August 8th, 2018 - 8:03pmAh, that might be a slight problem then it if all 2,700 try to find them and buy them.
Luckily my local B&M is putting that set on reserve for me so I have no worries about it.

August 8th, 2018 - 12:22pmMy B&M is a home store and always stock huge amounts of these Doctor Who sets every year. Not sure where the idea has come from that homestores don’t stock DW stuff but I’ve seen quite a few people saying it.
Stevennnnn.
August 8th, 2018 - 12:45pmThe Home Store near me stocks more Doctor Who items than the regular store. That’s where I’ll be heading this weekend to see if hey have any in.
