    Got this at WHSmiths! It was the last one! Highlights were the exploding tardis which is at the very front! K-9 super rare 3D and exploding Daleks rare. Atraxi rare. Most of the cards were doubles which is disappointing. If they weren’t I would’ve completed my collection(without the Infinite)!

    Has anyone noticed there is no 3rd Doctor, 6th or 8th – What’s going on? Aren’t there supposed to be cards of each regeneration of our favourite Time Lord (that’s what it says in the magazine anyway)? There’s a card for every other Doctor and that’s not including five 11th and three 1oth – will there be more sets to come that will include the other three regenerations?

      3rd. 6th. & 8th. Doctor’s will be covered in the Second Set of 180 Cards which will also cover the rest of Dr Who Season 6 – Taking the set to 345 cards (This will also be supplemented by Special Edition ‘Un-numbered’ cards {ie} Exploding Tardis) but don’t expect to see it until next year 2012 as it’s currently in preparation and would clash with the current episodes to be shown later in 2011 and also the current Monster Invasion 165 card run – So a good few months yet before release?

    • Anonymous

      May 30th, 2011 - 8:36pm

      IT’s not limited edition (or at least it doesn’t have a deliberately fixed number) that way they can make more packs if they wanted to without upsetting the ratios.

      No you get an exclusive card called Exploding Tardis, it is an un-numbered card and you will only be able to get it in the tin and not in packets, You may very well get the Infinate card in the packets but the chance of that are very slim, but luck could be on your side, so who knows?

They should be getting them in now and I don’t know where you can buy it. If you do know. I have wrote a comment on this page sying ‘Where can you buy this?’ Please reply. I didn’t want to reply to myself so I sneakely managed to add it in this comment. For anyone else wondering if this comes with the infinate it doesn’t BUT you could find it in a pack. You never know.

      It’s worth getting 1, 2 and 3 cos then you get 4 packs of cards a TARDIS storage unit and a tickchart of all the cards.
