November 28th, 2014 - 7:13pmI pre-ordered the Collector’s edition from the BBC Shop. It arrived early, which pleased me. The advert suggested there would be six art cards; there was a note that said there was a “special gift,” which I assume was an extra art card, since I actually got seven cards. The cover is a slipcase with an extra cardboard band to hold the cards. The discs come in a standard multi-disc plastic cover. I have checked on-line and BBC Shop is no longer posting the collector’s edition, though it still is available in Australia.

The TARDIS
November 20th, 2014 - 5:37pmReceived mine today – it is in an amaray case as opposed to digipak (kind of irritating to an OCD fan – does the standard release have amaray case format too? I’d be happier if so) but the slipcase looks much nicer in real life. The s8 art cards are nothing special, but nice enough to have.
While I confess to being disappointed in the amaray case (I would much have preferred digipak) the artwork is lovely and the discs look astonishing.

November 20th, 2014 - 1:50pmGot my copy of this today,it is slimmed down packaging compared with series 1-7,shame they no longer have th little booklets inside,tardis sound is good,it’s a digipak case just like the recent re-releases of series 1-7,srt cards are nice and i even got the new doctor and master art card.
When The Doctor Was Me
November 20th, 2014 - 1:54pmwhen you say slimmer is it a standard 15mm spine, like a feature film would be released in? if so it will fit my custom covers perfectly!

November 20th, 2014 - 3:18pmHoping mine’s at home now 🙂
Harold Saxon
November 21st, 2014 - 1:38amslimmer means slimmer than previous years chunkier box sets if you see what i mean.
The TARDIS
November 8th, 2014 - 3:15pmAs it is a slipcase, will it contain the normal artwork inside? Thanks
The five doctors
November 8th, 2014 - 3:40pmYep
The TARDIS
November 9th, 2014 - 5:08pmOkay, thanks! I’m a bit OCD, and to have seven series worth of Who in digipak format with the standard covers on before suddenly having a different format would drive me insane! I saw an unboxing of the limited edition Silent set for series six and was worried it would be like that.
Harold Saxon
November 7th, 2014 - 12:40pmThe art cards are shown on the bbc site look pretty good,also if you spend £25 with bbc shop now you get a free doctor & master art card.

August 21st, 2014 - 12:28amForbiddern Planet has last years REGENERATION box set on sale for £39.99 which is a good price me thinks as it is also a book.

September 5th, 2014 - 8:48pmI know I’m going to sound dumb. But what is Forbidden Planet?
The five doctors

gordon
August 20th, 2014 - 10:14amNot sure if its worth paying an extra five quid for the extra stuff. Hinted at my girlfriend to buy me the s8 box set so its pretty much up to her what version i get for christmas
Jaffa
August 20th, 2014 - 10:09amLove the look of the set! If it’s the same size as the previous sets then I’ll punt for it. I was disappointed at how tall the BBC Shop’s exclusive S7 set was last year.

Nicholas
August 20th, 2014 - 11:54amThey put Artwork TBC on every release and never change it
daff69
August 19th, 2014 - 8:42pmOh that’s sexy!! I normally wait a year to get the box set till it is down to £15/20, but I might shell out for this its THAT nice!
Trenzalore
August 19th, 2014 - 8:41pmHow dare they make me look at maths in the holidays 🙄 😈 .
Apart from the maths this looks really fun, love the whole interactive ‘Press Here’ thing to hear the TARDIS noise. This is definitely a must buy for me, a big improvement on the series 7 one.
To improve they could make the TARDIS a little fatter which they may do since it’s a TBC, they could even have included a poster of the cover as it is brilliant!
Trenzalore
August 19th, 2014 - 8:44pmAlso they should have put the ‘Press Here’ button on the other side since that’s the one with the writing which again they may still do.
the eternal doctor
August 19th, 2014 - 7:19pmalso cool cover

August 19th, 2014 - 6:06pmAs a person who enjoys doing graphics at my school, I love the measurements here.
Rowan Walsh
August 19th, 2014 - 5:45pmbooboo will you be updating the DWM issue 477 thread with the inside cover that they have just released? The cover that was shown the other day was the outside packet one 😛 I may be wrong but from their website that seems to be the case! Also they have bigger images of the posters now 😀
Rowan Walsh
August 19th, 2014 - 5:44pmSeeing as this was Capaldi’s first series it would have been nice to have a bit more Capaldi (still a chance i guess). But hay it still looks really nice!
