Doctor Who Cardooos Greetings Cards

Doctor Who Cardooos Greetings Cards – Videos

BPE is an innovative young publishing company bursting with new ideas to shake up the greetings card market! Keep an eye out for their highly commercial all-new Cardooo – a range of cards packed with activities, stickers and fun.

Greetings from The Doctor as new official Who birthday cards launch!

Two brand new Doctor Who adventures are now in the shops in the guise of ‘Cardooos’ – the new birthday card with hidden pages inside. Packed with games, puzzles, stickers, colouring, stories and word-searches, Cardooo’s licensed Doctor Who cards are bursting with new and entertaining content that will keep the most avid young fan amused for hours.

Featuring exclusive new writing from Doctor Who Adventures writer Matthew Dow Smith, the two official Doctor Who tie-ins are perfectly timed to coincide with the long-anticipated Series 6 Part 2 on BBC1.

The “Clockwork World” Cardooo is set on an artificial planet made up of giant clock parts, only things aren’t as they should be and it’s up to the Doctor, Rory, and Amy to discover why!

In “Queen Amy” the TARDIS crew land on a planet where the natives have never seen red hair… Amy is worshipped as a goddess, but the Doctor and Rory aren’t so lucky…

Dr Who Cardooos are the perfect way to send greetings to any super fan – children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and godchildren.

Their compact size means they are easily posted in the UK and across the globe – a quick and easy way to send a present without hefty postage costs!

All cards are priced at £2.99, and are available from branches of WH Smith from October.

The actual cards below… A sample was kindly sent to us and they are terrific, an excellent alternative for a normal Birthday card with games stories and activities.

    I found these two designs today in the Brighton branch of WHSmiths. A separate standalone carousel half Cardooo, half BBC Earth. It is a shame for both collectors and Cardooo themselves that some/most of the WHS that have been distributed to have yet to put these out.

    FEEDBACK to Cardooo / INFO for collectors: –

    BRIGHTON: Yes, about 3-4 of each as of 17th Nov
    FAREHAM: None as of 16th Nov
    CHICHESTER: None as of 5th Nov

    [SOUTHAMPTON-not listed]: None as of 11th Nov

    Hi all,

    BIG apologies to anyone who has looked in WHSmith for these and been disappointed – they should have been in those stores I posted, but they’ve obviously been rather hidden away!

    Both Doctor Who Cardooo are now available from ebay at £2.99, free P&P. Here’s the link:

    Best wishes,

    Kate at Cardooo

    Today I tried another branch on this list to no avail. The impression I have got is that the card displays have been done for Christmas, so perhaps we will not see these in 2011 now.

    Greeting cards are very difficult to complete a set. I have checked over 30 shops and still do not have all the Portico cards.

    Whilst Cardooo kindly informed us of the shops that sell them, I have just tried one listed. No sign of it and the staff had no idea what I meant as helpful as they were trying to be. So yes they have been sent to WHS, but making it to the shelves is a different matter.

      So not exactly available from all WHS Branches then? I emailed BPE direct at their London site & got no response from them whatsoever? Having contacted the Publishers as well I was told that not only are they not available in WHS shops yet, but won’t be out until early Dec as I tried to place an Order. You cannot buy them online from WHS either. The BPE Website was supposed to be up & running from Oct 17th but isn’t & still has listed an Order Form for September 2011. Talk about going on about a Product & not being able to get it – Annoying!

      Radburn,

      I’m so sorry that you were not able to find the Cardooo in WHSmith – what a pain! We’re a pretty new company hence a few teething problems in trying to battle our way into getting shelf space in the bigger retailers!

      I have now set up both Doctor Who Cardooo on ebay – £2.99 and free postage and packaging. Here’s the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Doctor-Cardooo-/270850614525?pt=UK_Collectables_SciFi_fantasyCollectables_EH&var=&hash=item84b93687c1#ht_850wt_979

      Apologies again!

      Kate

      I don’t think it is Cardooo’s fault. If they ship it to WHS branches and they never put it out, I don’t think it their fault. After checking many WHSs many times I finally found them last year in Brighton. I have had similar problems with pop-up Portico cards, and have not found one shop stocking them and have bought them on-line.

    All the better to remind people of the change of look, but not style, that the Doctor has gone through since then. IMO
