October 16th, 2026 - 10:40amI’ve been abit hit and miss with the Official Magazine during the last Couple of Years, but I’ll have to get this month’s Magazine with it having the Target Book.

October 16th, 2026 - 10:32amGot it yesterday. Book has the same issue evil of the daleks did. An odd ripple effect on the spine. Not damage to the book, its strongly bound and not cracked on the spine like the ripples indicate but they are there. Shame but still happy with the book. Looks great and it’s not a straight reprint but an altered version.
Read the article about the new key to time books. Have to admit to being a bit unsure about the new version of kroll. The phrase “bold reinterpretation” is worrying lol

October 16th, 2026 - 10:57amAs they say, these aren’t replacements for the original books so alterations are fine and I’m intrigued to read a version of armageddon that’s closer to the original scripts but yes, no drax is a surprise. Pirate planet having 3 extra pages means I will be reading that again as well!

October 16th, 2026 - 11:09amI can’t pretend I’ve ever found Drax a particularly entertaining or necessary part of The Armageddon Factor, so I’m intrigued by the idea that there’s now a version of the story without him. As for a “bold reinterpretation” of Kroll, well I wouldn’t say no if it was the Blu-ray they were talking about…
