January 12th, 2026 - 3:44pmUntil we actually get some information on what/how & so on, this is all supposition. We will have to wait until MR decide to actually release FACTS as to what is proposed, how it will be laid out & what/where/when to buy?

January 11th, 2026 - 4:29pmThis annoys me.
For people who have the originals, what is the point of this. It’s really annoying to have to get copies of 72 cards I already have, just for the new 8 and to support this.

January 12th, 2026 - 12:26amBecause its a relaunch, this series of cards ended 17 years ago and this is likely to test the water to see if theres life in this TCG outside of the 1% of collectors. The cards might be “repeats” but the colour scheme, logo etc will be different so they arent “the same”
Not everything is for collectors only……….

January 11th, 2026 - 12:40pmI really really REALLY hope we are able to relive the nostalgia fully after this and have packets sold in shops with a magazine collection starting with a bumper Issue 1, only thing now would be the packets most likely won’t be £1.50 like they were 20 years ago aha.
If packet price were to increase with inflation it would be (As of November 2025) £2.62 a packet or £83.69 per box. Makes me think similar to the Torchwood TCG back in 2008 being £2.99 per pack and me thinking that’s WAY overpriced, which to be fair was true for what you got.
Nonetheless I would love if this became a thing again. Make it happen!!

January 13th, 2026 - 10:40pmYou wont be paying £2.62 a packet, no good TCG booster packs are under £5 a pack……….

January 10th, 2026 - 12:19pmHi Booboo, how will we get a binder? Will we have to use old ones or surely new ones will go on sale ?
booboo
January 10th, 2026 - 12:22pmno idea sorry, MR dont do any PR sadly and we have no more info than is on their website.
I would assume as they are planning more cards a binder would be on offer at some stage
BillyB
January 11th, 2026 - 7:25amThe old 4 card binder holds 80 cards, that’s where I’m planning to put mine 🙂

January 12th, 2026 - 12:27amIm assuming you had the mini binder, I have my original official binder and it holders a few hundred cards
Billyb
January 12th, 2026 - 1:22pmYeah I got the big binder too annoyingly it’s already full so I gotta get a new one, can’t wait to fill a binder with the new sets
…
January 7th, 2026 - 9:00pmWill this come with a binder?
Scotel
January 8th, 2026 - 3:36pmNo it will not
…
January 9th, 2026 - 3:38pmWhere will we get the binder from?
Billyb
January 2nd, 2026 - 3:50pmThanks for replying to me earlier very excited to get collecting again! I know it’s on pre-order Just wondering what the stock is like on these? Gonna get my friend a box at the end of the month 🙂

January 1st, 2026 - 6:18pmI hope they commit to this as an actual TCG
Plenty of potential here if done right, focusing only on being collectible will not cut it and the game will fail

December 31st, 2025 - 3:26pmThis a MR ‘march’ or a real ETA ?
and just when will they arrive in B&M half price ?
More then 2 alphabets
January 1st, 2026 - 12:00pmThey wont be in B and M.
This isnt character options and a niche product. More likely will be forbidden planet
Maybe support things at full price to make it successful eh? 80 cards for less then 30 pounds is a phenomenal deal
Scotel
January 1st, 2026 - 5:53pmMaster Replicas have a history of selling their excess stock yo B&M, it’s not that ridiculous
Billyb
January 4th, 2026 - 2:08amThe cards are so well priced why wait till they’re in b&m? 25 for a full set of 80 is a good deal lol
Scotel
January 4th, 2026 - 12:00pmBecause not everyone can afford it? They’re bits of cardboard with pictures printed on them and people have different spending priorities.
I pre-ordered iit hour one (even got screwed over on the postage because their site was hiding the 14th and 15th figures) but I can absolutely see why someone would be turning their nose up at this “good deal”. Trading cards are expensive for what they ultimately are and if they are a lower priority some people will be happy to wait and see and if they don’t get a saving then that’s one less product line to worry about!

December 31st, 2025 - 12:41pmVery excited to see this. I’ve pre-ordered and can’t wait to be taken back to those heady days…

December 28th, 2025 - 9:25amNOSTALGIA BOMB! I still have my TARDIS card case with a bunch of BIT cards in it
Billyb
December 27th, 2025 - 7:36amSo excited for these! Will packs become available or will it just be sets of cards released?
More then 2 alphabets
January 1st, 2026 - 12:02pmPacks will occur but this is a special set. The cards are marked with reintroduction, so wont be available in this format when they hit booster packs,
Tom s
December 26th, 2025 - 1:31pmDo you get all 80 cards in one package, it says collect then all, but aren’t all in the package?
Scotel
December 27th, 2025 - 1:30pmYou get all 80 cards in the package, but there will be further releases in future with different cards so there will be more to collect at that point
Ryan McLaughlin
December 26th, 2025 - 12:15pmSo excited! Does this order include a binder?
…
December 25th, 2025 - 11:57amWill the cards be available in shops?
Scotel
December 25th, 2025 - 3:25pmA lot of their previous products have ended up in physical shops like B&M but I wouldn’t rely on it unless you’re really on the fence about it.
If you’re asking if it will be in every newsagents across the country like in 2006, absolutely not.
Bob
December 25th, 2025 - 8:26amNeed some 12, 13, 14, War and Fugitive in the next release, also betting there’s no classics in this set so there’s that too…
The Flying Shark
December 26th, 2025 - 9:03amYou can literally see three classics in the picture

December 25th, 2025 - 1:05amThese look cool! Have found memories of getting the odd packet back in the day although I didn’t get many. I might try these but will probably wait until we have a bit more info. I like the idea of having reproductions of classic cards, with new ones mixed in. The Matt Smith card pictured in the promo image intrigues me though! Unless I’m miss remembering, Battles in Time stopped around Series 4. So that card must be a new one. But the description currently says new cards are only from 15th Doctor’s era in this initial back. Maybe that one is a card that will be released later? Either way, I’m real pleased this is a thing!
Scotel
December 25th, 2025 - 6:56amIt says it features cards from the Fifteenth Doctor, not that its only from then.
The Eleventh Doctor is card “073” and Fifteen is “076”, I think we can take a safe guess who is in between. Put in Ruby and Belinda then a couple of villains and everything in the description is satisfied.
Radburn
December 24th, 2025 - 7:37pmI will wait until it’s actually released & will have further info on this at the time. Currently it’s not enticing me at all!

December 24th, 2025 - 7:28pmI still have mine i never did anything with them just stuck them in a tin i was only interested in the ones with david tennant on lol. My best draw from a pack was a super rare tardis crew card.
Jake
December 24th, 2025 - 5:53pmI understand the thinking behind reissuing previous cards but 72 out of 80 is a real disappointment, even factoring in the new foil. Could have done 40/40. Pleasantly surprised by the pricing though.
Chris Rushworth
December 24th, 2025 - 4:52pmDo they take payment straight away or when it’s shipped?
TheOldLibrarian
December 24th, 2025 - 5:14pmPayment is taken straight away at point of order for Master Replicas stuff

December 24th, 2025 - 3:54pmI didnt really collect them back in the day but this looks really nice, I may have to investigate it.

December 24th, 2025 - 3:35pmNo magazine? I only originally got it for that.

December 24th, 2025 - 3:14pmThis brings back so many memories! Instant pre order!
