August 13th, 2018 - 6:01amI have noticed people mention the official release date, this came from The B&M Press department but as clearly stated above they could arrive sooner (as they have in some stores) or later depending on the stores delivery schedule but it looks like many of the “selected” stores will have had them on or by the release date.
This is no different to what happened last year some stores didn’t get them for a few weeks after.
The original date of “late summer” and then the 6th August was given months ago by the same department as the date they were aiming for and was missed by just one week probably due to shipping/customs delays outside of B&M’s control. This was quickly revised when a more precise date became clear.
I got no reply on the Tardis product code but phoned direct and got that from a very helpful lady and no reply on packaging images but have since found out none have been i issued so far.
I suggest if people keep queering this stuff they actually get on the phone / send some emails, keep digging and find out for themselves.

August 13th, 2018 - 8:23amI decided to phone one of my locals this morning and they were very unhelpful. They said they couldn’t check what they were getting in stock although I know people here have asked and checked. Seems like I’ll just have to keep on going into the stores as for me they aren’t helpful.
booboo
August 13th, 2018 - 8:30amI have phoned several and they have all been very helpful so far

August 13th, 2018 - 4:48amI went into the newly opened B&M in Blackpool today and they had the sets. Although I travelled to another one and I couldn’t see them, so I asked a staff member and they checked for me, but they told me that they don’t intend on getting the sets any time soon. It seems that it’s only some stores that seem to be getting them.
RenegadeT2000
August 13th, 2018 - 4:50amHowever, I was able to reserve some in store so I’d suggest you call the store you’re going to before travelling.

August 12th, 2018 - 11:19pmHas anyone found any or looked in the Bexhill B&M in Ravenside? I’m away until Wednesday, and will visit the store then but I hope there are some still available by then. I imagine once the first lot sells, there should be another delivery of the sets as they did last year.
I notice on Ebay the 3rd Dotor & TARDIS is already up to £50 odd quid having only been listed today at 4pm. I wouldn’t be suprised to see it finish closer to £70 if not more next Sunday. That is a huge profit margin for that buyer and will only make this set even more hard to find as dealers buy them all up.
These B&M sets are probably the best they have ever done, which is some ways is fab, and in others a curse. Being great sets mean they are the more sought after.

August 12th, 2018 - 10:40pmI wish these companies did a bit of research. Presumably they have made these in fewer numbers this year as they still have stock from last year. However, any fan could have told them that the Eccleston set would sell poorly as everyone has a 9th Doctor and the Rose figure is the worst figure they ever released. At least they are remaining profitable enough to keep making them every year.

August 12th, 2018 - 10:19pmAre they for sale in all stores or just the home or bargain stores?

August 12th, 2018 - 9:36pmI know a lot has a been said regarding eBay dealers who buy the sets to sell on for profit but word of advice for those bidding for them on eBay…
…Show a bit of resolve and common sense by not bidding high on the items when they still have six days to go!
The Third Doctor TARDIS currently for sale on eBay was £35 at approximately 3pm earlier today and within a few hours it’s gone up to £51! The best chance of getting the item for the price closest to how much they sell for at B&M is to bid near the end of the auction!
I don’t see how you can blame the dealers for making a profit if you’re going all trigger-happy over figures that still have days to go on auction!

August 13th, 2018 - 8:58amIt’s now at £77

August 12th, 2018 - 9:30pmHopefully Scotland get these Tommorow planning a round trip around 4 stores in hopes of getting the 12th doctor set and 1th doctor set

August 12th, 2018 - 9:35pmSame which stores are you planning on going to if you don’t mind me asking
Anonymous
August 12th, 2018 - 10:45pmI’m hoping the store in at the forge gets them, but i’m actually a wee bit doubtful now, since they had a load of 9th Doctor sets left and never got the 12th and 10th Doctor figures in and the RC Dalek
josh
August 12th, 2018 - 9:26pmas a former B&M employee, I should probably explain why some stores aren’t expecting the Tardis set, it comes down to which distribution centers are expecting the set if your local stores are saying they aren’t expecting any that means that the store doesn’t come under the distribution area for a center with the items.
this doesn’t mean that your stores will never get them it just means that the distribution center for your area isn’t expecting them for the foreseeable future
JWilkins
August 12th, 2018 - 9:03pmThe big Ashford in Kent store had 3 of each set of figures today.
Bunter
August 12th, 2018 - 8:56pmJust FYI folks, I saw one single 4th Doctor set in St Neots today (which I foolishly didn’t buy). Packaging is smaller than last year; they had some of last years’ 9th Doctor sets on the shelf too.

August 12th, 2018 - 8:46pmWas it ever established if the resurrection glove from torchwood is the same type of tech as Rassilons globe from the end of time?

August 12th, 2018 - 8:39pmFor the people who have got them, how many of each set do they have?
Skonnos
August 12th, 2018 - 8:43pmThere’s 12 per box (4 sets) and ‘those that got them’ all seem to have gotten just the one box per store.
Mumbell
August 12th, 2018 - 7:56pmI’m really worried about these, it looks like they’ll be rarer than they were in previous years. Looks like they’ve already skyrocketed in price on eBay.
Skonnos
August 12th, 2018 - 8:47pmThey are generally selling for around double (Not sure if that counts as ‘skyrocketing’) but it does indicate a worrying trend for the future with these. However having said that the TARDIS set could set new records….

August 12th, 2018 - 7:47pmNothing in Altrincham, went in earlier today 🙁

August 12th, 2018 - 7:22pmThis is slightly wearing me down now so on a slightly different note whats becoming of those ‘single’h bill figures from a while back now?
booboo
August 12th, 2018 - 7:28pmBeing told still happening, even had the way its supplied described to me, but Amazon may loose out now as many people will be happy with just one Bill so now the B&M sets are out can see this not doing so well.
For the life of me i have no idea why no release date or image up on Amazon. I have really tried to find out but no luck.
With the demise of Toys r us Amazon may have been the best hope for future exclusives but fear it backfiring in this case.

August 12th, 2018 - 7:01pmHas anyone checked Basingstoke Hampshire?

August 12th, 2018 - 7:11pmYes. I was told they are getting them in. But they don’t know when.

August 12th, 2018 - 7:27pmThank you! I’ll check tomorrow!

August 12th, 2018 - 8:21pmI’m also going in. Hope the buyers who buy tons don’t get their before us…

August 13th, 2018 - 10:18amThere was nothing. 🙁
Exterminator
August 12th, 2018 - 6:58pmGiven that the 4th Dr with Tardis set now sells for over £100 on eBay due to its rarity, it’s looking as though the new 3rd dr with Tardis is going to be just as rare.
I can see them easily going for £50 plus on eBay so it’ll be no wonder people will buy more than one when they see them.
Maybe b&m are holding on to them all to sell them on eBay themselves? They’d make an absolute fortune. Lol.
booboo
August 12th, 2018 - 7:23pmthe price is high because in reality relatively few hardcore collectors are after it and are prepared to pay
Anonymous
August 12th, 2018 - 9:02pmI want two. One to keep boxed and the other to take out for display.
DarthM
August 12th, 2018 - 6:33pmI have phoned six B & M sites around the North West today. They are all expecting the figure sets this week but possibly, not until Friday. Strangely, ALL of them said that they were not currently down for getting any of the Tardis sets. Very peculiar situation we’ve got going on here…!!?
booboo
August 12th, 2018 - 6:44pmmight try a tweet tomorrow be interesting to see if we get a response
Beevers Master
August 12th, 2018 - 6:23pmIf anyone finds a tardis set around the Stevenage area please DO let me know as I am wanting to grab one or 2 if possible.
Antonio Zambonini
August 12th, 2018 - 6:48pmI’m going wed for a check
David
August 12th, 2018 - 7:13pmI Checked Stevenage today and the staff were saying they are only getting figure sets and not the tardis set in both stores.
Beevers Master
August 12th, 2018 - 7:46pmWell I am going to the one on the forum tomorrow and should hopefully be able to pick up all 3 3 packs tomorrow but I am wanting the tardis set the most
David
August 13th, 2018 - 6:19amIf they havent put them out yet at the one on the forum, ask the staff as they are out the back apparently . The one on the retail park has all 3 sets on the shelf.
Beevers Master
August 13th, 2018 - 3:41pmThe only one I am missing now is the tardis set
Delgadomaster
August 12th, 2018 - 5:54pmHave done the rounds of several stores in and around the wirral. Not a sniff of any sets yet, just one of last year’s month doctor sets in Ellesmere Port. Bromborough and Tranmere still have nothing. Will Check again tomorrow but hopes are fading already.
Anonymous
August 12th, 2018 - 6:04pmI’m panicking as I’ve been back from holiday to see people have already got them! I’m heading over to my local one tomorrow and pray they have them in!
Euan Bird
August 12th, 2018 - 6:07pmThey haven’t even reached Scotland yet. I hope they are in stores tomorrow

August 12th, 2018 - 5:44pmBooboo I thought they were scheduled to be released for tomorrow but people seem to have them already? What’s going on ?
booboo
August 12th, 2018 - 5:57pmStates in the post some stores may get them sooner / later just depends on deliveries out of the warehouse
Carnival of Peters
August 12th, 2018 - 5:34pmMan seems like the 3rd doctor set is the holy grail, it’s like looking for the golden ticket to Willy Wonka’ factory. Sheffield town centre has the figure sets but alas no Pertwee just guessing there either mega popular or just haven’t arrived at the stores yet didn’t ask cos the store was jam packed and I hate shopping!!
booboo
August 12th, 2018 - 5:37pmThe impression i’m getting (and i maybe wrong on this) is that the stores have just not requested them, it makes no sense what’s happening, if i could actually speak to someone at B&M who knows how things work we might be able to clarify things
TheDoctor99
August 12th, 2018 - 5:38pmI think most of the 3rd doctor sets will arrive in stores tomorrow hopefully.
booboo
August 12th, 2018 - 5:43pmthe thing is most stores are saying they are getting the figure sets but when they check the Tardis code they are saying not, 6 stores i spoke to all said the same
TheDoctor99
August 12th, 2018 - 5:49pmThats strange, so basically the majority of the tardis sets are stuck in the warehouse as not much stores are requesting them. Hopefully something will get sorted about this.
the ergon
August 12th, 2018 - 6:14pmWell from whats been said there don,t seem that many to go around when they do actually put them out

August 12th, 2018 - 5:22pmThis has got to be the best free advertising I think I have ever seen.
Ian
August 12th, 2018 - 5:00pmTomorrow I’ll be calling the stores again. 21sr century and B&M should have at least a central customer services number to call. Glad I get free calls!
booboo
August 12th, 2018 - 5:05pmI could do with them siting on here checking stock locations, i feel worn out reading this lot, they do have a central CS line they just make it difficult to find 08435060487, found them very helpful
not getting any response from Press or PR now sadly.

August 12th, 2018 - 4:52pmJust bought my 12 Doctor and 1970s set from Barking, They have one 12 and two 11 sets left.
Also, Beckton have 3 of each in the warehouse and will call me in a few days when they are on the shelves.
Smithcollectibles
August 12th, 2018 - 4:46pmIf they sell out will there be more stock or are they gone for good. I’m on holiday this week so I’m worried I won’t get any
booboo
August 12th, 2018 - 4:55pmstores will just be getting their first deliveries i expect.
Smithcollectibles
August 12th, 2018 - 6:52pmThat’s ok then. Worried I would miss out on them, thank you!
Elaine Thorne
August 12th, 2018 - 4:40pmIt’s sad that they come out as if my husband had been alive today he’d have going to all the local one’s in my area until I’d got them all. I would’ve done with great pleasure.
Exterminator
August 12th, 2018 - 5:23pmSorry for your loss Elaine. I too get a real buzz from searching for these sets. It’s like the 3.75” chase figures all over again. I think anyone that manages to get the 3rd dr & Tardis set will be very happy.

August 12th, 2018 - 5:27pmif i actually manage to find 2 i will give one way in a competition that’s promise

August 12th, 2018 - 5:42pmThat would be a great prize for a competition. Have you found the 3 figure sets yet Booboo?
