December 30th, 2024 - 4:00pmI have seen a photograph of the finished Dalek and whilst I accept it looks impressive I cannot help wondering if an earlier version of the Dalek – perhaps a Genesis Dalek or Skaro Dalek (Dead Planet) might have been more popular – I personally prefer the classic Daleks – just a generational thing!
It is my understanding that there will be 140 parts to build this Dalek and apart from the financial cost it will take a considerable amount of time to build the complete Dalek.
This is the factor that has influenced my decision not to commit myself although I do hope that others will be able to enjoy collecting and building this Dalek.

December 30th, 2024 - 4:48pmI would have added this to my collection if it were a Pertwee-era Dalek, but that’s the problem: there are just so many cruder less detailed Classic era designs (which to choose?), whilst the more well known NS bronze variant with its many varied casing details is now the standard design. The majority of fans will more likely want to look at a detailed NS Dalek than a less detailed Planet of the Daleks gunmetal grey, yes?

December 23rd, 2024 - 5:35amSadly I have a feeling this won’t end well. There’s not been a great reception to it, people are wary after so many failed businesses and part-works and magazine collections, and it’s hugely cumulatively expensive. Also I hate to say it but do we really need it? There are so many Dalek models and toys and statues of all shapes and sizes now and nothing as expensive as this will end up being if it completes its run.

December 23rd, 2024 - 8:56amI’ll Wait and See, alot of the other companies have had a Build Set like this, but Hachette Model Kits rarely get as much flak as the others…
I Kinda hope it does well…

However, Americans not receiving a physical magazine and relaying on the kindness of Hachette to host the digital files for the life of the program and beyond is just ridiculous.
