Doctor Who fans can continue to build their own home archive on Blu-ray with an eight-disc box set of the iconic 13th Season, starring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor.
In his second season, Tom Baker’s Doctor really hits his stride, with faithful companion Sarah-Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) by his side. Together they cross time and space to do battle with the Zygons, the biomechanoid Loch Ness monster, the fearsome Sutekh and his robot mummies, vengeful renegade Time Lord Morbius, an anti-matter creature on a distant planet, the scheming Kraals and the terrifying Krynoid.

July 4th, 2025 - 9:31pmI’m so excited to finally have this season coming, I pre-ordered faster than Barry Allen. Looking forward to seeing the new effects on Zygons and watching the recreation of the 70’s omnibus of Pyramids.

Goody

Gordon Eyton-Williams
July 4th, 2025 - 6:23pmBack in ‘stock’ at Amazon , just placed my pre-order
Deano
July 4th, 2025 - 5:15pmJust to let all know it’s now back up with stock on both Amazon and Zavvi
K-9stein
July 4th, 2025 - 5:49pmA little bit too late for me, as I’ve already ordered a copy on Rarewaves. Plus, it was a bit cheaper on Rarewaves with the discount code.
Underwater menace
July 4th, 2025 - 4:44pmAny news about a BFI screening for this one?
The DR.
July 4th, 2025 - 5:15pmGordon will Probably Found out First but this Last Couple of Days he’s been very Quiet.

July 4th, 2025 - 2:34pmI did leave a comment thats awaiting moderation. Not sure if it glitched?
Prof Horner
July 4th, 2025 - 2:40pmWell I have had several today which haven’t appeared today Basil. Maybe they don’t like the company I have bought this set off . See if this post appears.
booboo
July 4th, 2025 - 2:44pmOn the contrary, they dont like us, and that’s and end to it i will go into it no further.
Tom Williams
July 4th, 2025 - 3:11pmSame as i posted about paying for it but noticed my comment was removed especially two sites are currently sold out
Things That Go Bump In The Night
July 4th, 2025 - 2:17pmApologies to this site, but since Amazon is showing ‘unavailable’ and Zavvi is saying ‘sold out’, I’ve ordered from nipper… who still seems to be taking pre-orders as of the timing of this post…
Even ordering from the dog failed yesterday evening, but I got the order in today (13:45 4th July)
Maybe the flea bay scalpers know this set will be very popular so have mass-ordered dozens of copies?
PJ
July 4th, 2025 - 2:50pmIT WAS THE QUICKEST PRE ORDER IVE EVER MADE AS I HAD A SUSPICION THIS SET WOULD SELL OUT ALMOST INSTANTLY AS ITS THE GOAT AND I WAS RIGHT I DID MINE WITH AMAZON
Anonymous
July 4th, 2025 - 3:41pmThis happens EVERY time a new set is announced. They’ll be back for pre-order soon. I’m sure they’ll still be available after release date, as usual.
However, even if initial estimations have been exceeded (which I doubt), they’ll expand the numbers produced while no release date has been announced. They’ve learned their lesson since the Season 12 debacle.
beef
July 4th, 2025 - 6:41pmI think PJ needs a new caps lock key
Basil Funkenstein
July 4th, 2025 - 2:14pmHi guys,
Does anyone know if Amazon UK will get any more sets for release?
I have every single limited edition set so far but would be absolutely gutted if I missed my favourite season in the collection.
PJ
July 4th, 2025 - 2:58pmDOUBT IT THINK A LOT OF RETAILERS DID NOT REALISE HOW SPECIAL AND MOMENTOUS THIS SEASON IS SO GLAD I GOT A COPY PREORDERED FROM AMAZON LITERALLY THE SECOND I SAW THE PHOTOS
Anon
July 4th, 2025 - 3:05pmThis happens a lot on Amazon, its entirely possible they will get more.
Tom Williams
July 4th, 2025 - 3:14pmNot true actually as normally like i remember with season 25 it was sold out of a few sites but they eventually got stock back in its only due too high demand like ebay scalpers etc
daz
July 4th, 2025 - 4:48pmOf course they will. It’s just taking them a while to put up their second allocation.
It takes ages for limited editions to sell out now. Although this one will prove very popular.
Tom Williams
July 4th, 2025 - 5:17pm@daz couldn’t agree more especially they always now realise the standard ones which helps build up the numbers unlike when season 12 first came out
Erato
July 4th, 2025 - 1:50pmI hope they correct some of those rubbish edits on the special edition of Pyramids of Mars.
WhoWhenWhere?
July 4th, 2025 - 1:26pmWhy isn’t this available to pre-order on Amazon?! There’s always some issue when these are announced! Get it together, people!
booboo
July 4th, 2025 - 1:39pmIt was, they sold out of their 1st allocation very quickly and are taking ages to update, this is happing more and more with them
Snowman
July 4th, 2025 - 1:41pmI used Zavvi to Order from Yesterday. I Usually Use Amazon but just lost my Patience with them Yesterday if I’m Honest.
Snowman
July 4th, 2025 - 1:46pmBooboo, Have you any updates on the Jon pertwee Vinyl Collection. Has Anyone Reported Getting a Copy Yet?
According to Amazon it’s Released 4th of July (Today).
But My Accounts been Updated to say it’s shipping Monday?
booboo
July 4th, 2025 - 2:11pmSome have been sent out for sure but not that many, i think it spends on when the distribution centre in your area gets them.
I have recently moved house and get no amazon deliveries on a Saturday or Sunday for example but got deliveries both days where i used to live.
Snowman
July 4th, 2025 - 2:19pmYeah Booboo. Typical Amazon, I’ve had the Vinyl Collection on Order for weeks and Weeks (Since it was put up on your Site). But they can’t Ship Mine While Monday.
I’ve just been on there Site and it says “In Stock” and if you just Randomly Order it in the Next 8 Hours you can have it Delivered Tomorrow?
Not Sure how that Works but it’s happening more and More with Amazon. LOL.
Prof Horner
July 4th, 2025 - 11:56amNow I can see the cover clearly I can see what The Doctor is holding.
Missyrules
July 4th, 2025 - 11:39amRarewaves are efficient but they aren’t the cheapest. They are a viable alternative thought.
Mark Garcia
July 4th, 2025 - 1:53pmOrdered mine yesterday through them .. my first time using them
DanWFA
July 4th, 2025 - 11:06amNow sold out from Zavvi!
PJ
July 4th, 2025 - 2:54pmTHIS SET HAS ALREADY BROKEN RECORDS AND ITS ONLY BEEN 24 HOURS SO GLAD I QUICKLY PREORDERED MINE WITH AMAZON BEFORE THEY RAN OUT WAS NOT GOING TO MISS THE SEASON IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
K-9stein
July 4th, 2025 - 10:34amI’ve just preordered my copy from Rarewaves (which I’ve never done before), because the set is still listed as unavailable on Amazon and Zavvi says it’s sold out too.
Rory
July 4th, 2025 - 10:55amSame. I was about to order from Zavvi, refreshed the page and it went to Sold Out. Wonder if this might be the first in a while to actually sell out.
K-9stein
July 4th, 2025 - 11:23amI’ve never none a Collection set to sell out quite so quickly. I’m almost wondering if there are AI bots or something at work.
Rory
July 4th, 2025 - 11:41amIt might just be that Amazon and Zavvi didn’t anticipate the number of orders they’d get and based their ordering off the last few Collection sets. Having sold out of their allocation, they’ll be able to reorder if BBC have not allocated everything already.
Morrid
July 4th, 2025 - 11:48amJust ordered from Rarewaves too.
First time buying from them due to missing out on Amazon and Zavvi and didn’t want to take the risk of it not reappearing on Amazon and Zavvi.
Hoping their packaging is good.
Such a good season and one benefit of now being an old git is having had TB as “my doctor”. Planet of Evil doesn’t get mentioned quite as much as other stories in the Season do but I love it and can still recall the absolute terror my six years old self felt watching it on it’s original transmission. Can’t wait for this!
Alan Silvester
July 4th, 2025 - 11:54amI’m not taking a chance while Amazon sort out their listing. I’ve ordered from rarewaves – there’s a 10% discount code and free p&p. Certainly think there’s a huge demand for this, and I don’t want to miss out.
I’m Batman
July 4th, 2025 - 12:39pmSame. Just caved and didn’t wait for Amazon. Let’s hope all is well.
Craig axtell
July 4th, 2025 - 1:13pmDo rare waves take the payment when dispatched the item.
Julian Harrild
July 4th, 2025 - 1:34pmMe too! First time ordered here! OOS Amazon. Raewaves do international shipping too!
Rory
July 4th, 2025 - 2:20pm@Craig axtell, I had it taken at time of ordering, so it’s payment up front and not at time of dispatch.
I’m Batman
July 4th, 2025 - 9:52amStill not available on Amazon frustratingly.
PJ
July 4th, 2025 - 2:55pmTHINK ITS GONE ALREADY THANKFULLY I HAVE SECURED ONE
Rory
July 4th, 2025 - 9:50amDo we know who is in the escape room this time?
David McCallum
July 4th, 2025 - 10:13amI think it is Matthew Waterhouse, Michael E Briant & Toby Hadoke
Duncan
July 4th, 2025 - 11:49amToby Hadoke ????? Why ??
Amypondfan
July 4th, 2025 - 3:09pmProbably because they both know him through the documentaries he does. The first doctor one featured lisa barrowman who they knew from her directing big finish audios but she has nothing to do with the first doctor era, it’s not a big deal.
Tegan’s distant cousin
July 4th, 2025 - 4:44amI’m in Australia and I can recommend ordering through Rarewaves. I’ve bought a range of things through them in the past – including previous Collection sets – and it’s always been a good experience. Nothing has arrived damaged and one item recently was later than usual, but that’s it.
They also listed this new set and had it on sale before any announcements so it was fun ordering it yesterday about 15 minutes before it had been officially listed as such!
