July 5th, 2016 - 9:10amOne of the biggest regrets of my life not getting this, I was in Forbidden Planet Newcastle and they had them right there on the shelves for £30 each. For some stupid reason I can’t even remember, I decided I would get one the next time I came. Then I went to the Doctor Who Experience and they had them there for £40 , to which I thought “I’ll get one at FB for £10 cheaper!” To then find out that they’d sold out EVERYWHERE and are selling for nearly £200! Every other ‘exclusive’ that I get just becomes more common, but the one that I miss becomes mega rare! Don’t suppose anyone has a spare? 🙁

October 12th, 2014 - 5:33pmI’m really upset that I missed out on this one. Any chance they’ll release the same content in a regular package? I don’t care about mu stuff being limited.
LuffyNoTomo
November 10th, 2014 - 7:45pmi agree to that, i just like the idea of the whole Day of the Doctor and the change of Matt to the new doctor in one box set – i mean, i like the packaging but i just can’t believe i missed out on this box set =_=

October 9th, 2014 - 11:23amIt sickens me that sellers are charging people up to £70 for these when they’re available in HMVs for the rrp.
To any of you in Ireland, HMV (Henry St) in Dublin had 4 DVDs and 3 BRs of the set when I popped in last week!

October 4th, 2014 - 8:05pmI got one but mum said can she have it , off course she has given me the money but I keep missing going back to HMV , she’s like ” have you bought it yet!” I just would not mind lending. I have already gotten my friend Sean into Who his on Series five at the minute and seeing as every ep is brand new he said to me yesterday ” What’s all the crack about when the intro comes on on the DVD?” – Me well I just said ”I wont spoil it for you”. His up to Vamps in Venice. I said Amy’s Choice must see. His been through faces 9th then 10th – 11th?:0

Ian
October 2nd, 2014 - 9:58pmI picked up a Bluray copy today from HMV Birmingham – they had another 2 left.
I know people who have tried other HMV’s today and got one.
melina
October 3rd, 2014 - 8:19pmIf there’s a BBC Radio Station/Shop in your city, have a look. I found one today & he had a few behind the counter. Apparently it’s because they’re a different branch to the BBC Shop website or something. Good luck 🙂

September 30th, 2014 - 7:31pmI gave my mum mine and she said can she have it so obviously. Oh well she gave me another 40 pound.

Bryan
September 18th, 2014 - 5:20amCan anyone confirm the region of the blu rays? I’ve heard Region B and Region Free. Does it say on the discs/cases?
TheEleventh
September 19th, 2014 - 2:04amJust got mine and its region free…or at least plays in the US!
Geronimo!!!
Carole
October 3rd, 2014 - 5:22amIt is NOT region free. I got mine from the BBC shop and it does not play on my Region A player. I inquired at the BBC Shop’s Customer Service, and they confirmed it is Region B.
Starr
October 14th, 2014 - 11:36pmCarole,
I got an email from BBC Customer Service that said it was Region Free! However, it will NOT play in either of my Blu-Ray players. I’m a little upset!

RoryPond
October 3rd, 2014 - 8:30pmPicked up mine in HMV the other day for £40, a bargain considering its now being sold on Amazon for almost £65 🙂
StormOfOncomers
September 15th, 2014 - 6:39pmGot mine today (box was dreadfully battered, no damage to contents though) really annoyed that it took so long to come, if pre-ordered it should arrive on the day or at least within that week.
DalekAgent
September 14th, 2014 - 8:31pmI’ve just seen on Amazon that the blu-ray version of this is £49.99
StetsonDoctor
September 14th, 2014 - 5:55pmWow, they are selling fast. It’ll be worth loads in the very near future…
James
September 14th, 2014 - 3:04pmHi everyone,
Has anyone a) received the email for the 50th brochure, b) received the brochure and c) what is it like? Is it specially made or just an excel London one like everyone thinks it will be?
Thanks
StormOfOncomers
September 14th, 2014 - 4:46pmGot the email, but haven’t received the brochure OR my boxset yet.
Mr Fish
September 14th, 2014 - 7:43pmHello, received our brochure yesterday – it is the ExCel one!
James
September 14th, 2014 - 7:50pmOk, thanks 🙂
The Pandorica
September 16th, 2014 - 11:26amI’ve just received my free 50th brochure today and I was surprised at how large it was, a was expecting a little booklet, a nice surprise.
a42ftw
September 17th, 2014 - 11:31amI got my 50th bonus gift and it’s nice enough I wouldn’t have paid for it though it’s the official 50th excel centre one from November it’s more fluff than anything and doesn’t feature much
Davidscustoms11
September 17th, 2014 - 8:37pmI got my box set on blu-ray on Monday although my dad bought me the brochure a while a go.
Blank
September 17th, 2014 - 9:12pmHi, how comes you got an email allowing you to get a free excel brochure? Just wanted to know thank you 🙂
doctorrivertardis
September 17th, 2014 - 9:38pmbecause they were one of the first 500 to order one
Anonymous
September 13th, 2014 - 4:16pmAre there different designs for the box then?
Russell Sellers
September 13th, 2014 - 4:20pmThe front of the box has a see-through cover so depending on which dvd case is at the front, depends on what is being displayed.

September 14th, 2014 - 2:36pmohh thx
WOWHO
September 13th, 2014 - 3:49pmAnyone else had problems getting it delivered from Amazon? I pre-ordered the bluray when it was first announced, had an email to say it was going to be delivered on Monday, but still haven’t got it…
GallifreyanKnight
September 13th, 2014 - 4:20pmSame with me, except that mine was coming from BBC Shop.
It’s apparently “lost in the post”.
StormOfOncomers
September 13th, 2014 - 5:18pmI’ve emailed BBC Shop, no reply yet. I’m gonna be very p!ssed off if it’s been “lost”, I was one if the first 500 to order and everything.
GallifreyanKnight
September 13th, 2014 - 5:32pmYou probably won’t get a reply from them until about Tuesday.
I hope yours didn’t get lost in the post too.
They said they’d send me another one as a replacement for the one that went missing, but I’m not holding out much hope.
I was so sure that I was one of the first 500 to preorder it too. Evidently not, as I’ve not had any confirmation from them about it. 😥
StormOfOncomers
September 13th, 2014 - 5:39pmI got a first 500 confirmation email on last Tuesday – you should stay hopeful for a replacement boxset, it’s common sense to expect a postage mishap so I’m sure they kept a few aside should such an incident occur
GallifreyanKnight
September 13th, 2014 - 5:52pmI’ve never had anything go missing in the post though, so you can see why I’m annoyed about it.
StormOfOncomers
September 13th, 2014 - 6:00pmAbsolutely! What country is yours being delivered to btw?
I’m in the south of Ireland.
GallifreyanKnight
September 13th, 2014 - 6:05pmSouth England.
Bracknell, to be precise.
If it were going to turn up, it would’ve done so ages ago. 🙁
StormOfOncomers
September 13th, 2014 - 6:09pmYep, I see what you mean. Hopefully mine’s just delayed…
robert murray
September 14th, 2014 - 6:37amI haven’t received mine as well, but I’m from Poland. I’ve ordered “the complete specials” from BBC Shop and waited like two weeks before it came, so I try not to panic yet and just calmly wait.
GallifreyanKnight
September 15th, 2014 - 6:36pmI had an email today from BBC Shop.
They’ve said that they have run out of stock of the blu-ray version, and are unable to replace my one that got “lost” in the post.
I hope they hurry up and process my refund, so that I can buy the blu-ray version from someone a little more reliable.
One thing is for sure. I won’t ever use BBC Shop again.
booboo
September 15th, 2014 - 6:57pmi buy virtually everything from them now, never has a problem
GallifreyanKnight
September 15th, 2014 - 8:10pmLucky you, booboo.
Cymon Hodson
September 13th, 2014 - 2:37pmThe BBC shop only have this on DVD
Amazon has the blu ray at various prices depending on the seller
Base and Forbidden Planet are charging £39.99 for the blu ray
GallifreyanKnight
September 13th, 2014 - 3:43pmBBC Shop had the blu-ray version too, but it’s obviously sold out.
Which means, they won’t be able to replace the one that got lost in the post on it’s way to me. 😥
Martin
September 13th, 2014 - 10:03pmGallifreyan Knight… Did you order the 50th set with another item (something equalling £45 or more) as I had a problem that Parcel force kept going up and down in front of my house when I ordered the series 1-7 blu-ray and just kept driving because they couldn’t see a 48…
GallifreyanKnight
September 13th, 2014 - 11:33pmNo.
