    This is funny, I live in the US and the set they have pictured (and the list of episodes) are already out. I have it sitting on my shelf right now. I bought it this past January (yes, it’s a US release, not a UK release) now if it’s one of the 2 that has not been released, then I’ll be waiting with bated breath.

      In the US there is only 1 release. In the UK there is 2 releases. The deluxe packaging release which is packaged in an oversized box is the first. The second is in normal sized packaging which comes a couple of years later.

      Yes Gordon, I could be wrong but when the limited Edition First comes out in the UK, I think the Rest of the World, US, Austrailia, Europe Etc get This Standard Edition then?

    • Gordon

      September 16th, 2025 - 1:35pm

      The order of the releases are as follows:

      Uk limited edition packaging release with bigger booklet

      US release in normal packaging with no booklet about 3ish months later

      Australian release though how and gap it is released constantly seems to change. Sometimes it’s months sometimes it’s over a year. I’ve never really understood their release process being honest

      Uk standard packaging with slimmed down booklet about 20-24 months after (times seem to vary

    A two year gap from Limited meant it was supposed to be released around next March. Curious. Wonder if the gap’s getting shorter because the Limiteds don’t sell out as fast as they used to?

      There is no release date so it could still be March next year

      Patiently waiting for s25. Really interested to see all the new versions on it. Great news is the 2 year gap is even marginally shortened

    • Tom Williams

      September 16th, 2025 - 2:55pm

      Or is it maybe cause off animations again next year ? Maybe they want too realise them bit more sooner as next year could be a point off more animations coming out again ie blu ray and steel books which could clash with these more it might be even the case of shorten these down especially we might not have a new season limited edition out straight away at start off the new year due too the spin off on top ?

    • Gordon

      September 16th, 2025 - 11:33pm

      Being honest I’m not sure the next animation is that soon away. They said back in march at the savages bfi screening they weren’t going to start the next one after the savages until a new deal was in place and it would be about 12 months after that. Depending on when they signed that contract they may only be a short while in. As with a lot of things involving money it may take a while till the figures are right. Could be wrong on this of course but my gut is thinking more closer to summer time if not later.

      Well I still think they could use Tardis time girl animation on season 5. They could get it out next year. Not only we would have another sixties season but more importantly a much needed Troughton season. Giving more time to work other animations for the other sixties seasons. Otherwise I fear we are going to have to wait a while for sixties seasons releases. Of course one way to speed things up would be to have shorter time between stand alone releases and in inclusion on season boxsets.

    • Gordon

      September 17th, 2025 - 4:34pm

      I don’t think they are using that. I suspect they already have their own plans eventually to give the full works within the next 3-4 releases .

      Think it is fine for a freebie but the second it becomes a paid release people tend to look more closely and critically at it. It would need additional time and money allocated towards it in my personal opinion.

      Plus you have the other issue. It’s freely and readily available. If it’s on YouTube/Patreon it simply wouldn’t be a draw for the box set

    • Bookcollector

      The time girl wheel is good but it’s not commercially viable. As a free item it’s fine but as a paid for release it would need a lot of work on the likenessess. Several of the supporting cast bear very little resemblance to the actors involved. It’s great and I enjoyed it but it’s not commercial release quality.

    • Sofia Fox

      September 29th, 2025 - 2:22am

      Besides, TardisTimeGirl already offered the animation to the BBC if they were willing to fund a commercially-viable version, but was denied on the basis of the reception to the Web of Fear Special Edition and The Celestial Toymaker, telling them that the fans do not want 3D animated stories. When really all it needs to fine tuning. I heard good improvements on Toymaker over Web, but if the profits of Web and Toymaker were lower compared to the rest I can guess I can understand that.

    • Gordon

      September 29th, 2025 - 4:57am

      There is nothing to suggest it did sell poorer. Both titles pretty much topped the chart in the week of release and lasted roughly similar length of time to other 2d animations.

    This is early but welcome all the same.
    I can sell the collection boxset now.

    It is a bit irritating having to wait 2 years to get one of these, but I think it’s worth being patient. The limited edition ones are more expensive, by all accounts falls apart easier, and don’t actually have anything more worthwhile as far as I’m aware.

    Season 15 is one of the most wildly varied in terms of quality I can think of. Two outstanding stories, one middling, and three absolute howlers. Really looking forward to them finally doing season 16 (and of course 2 years later, when I’ll get one), where I hope the special effects team will boost The Power of Kroll so that it will reveal itself as the perfectly fine story it is. Well, minus the Swampies.

      None of mine have fallen apart. The only one I’ve had issue with is s9 and that’s the one I got signed by katy.

    • Rory, the original you might say

      September 16th, 2025 - 10:51am

      @Gordon, mine neither, but I am very careful in how I handle them, especially as half of mine are signed.

      Mine are all still nicely factory sealed. Sitting shiny on the shelf.

      Never saw the point in wasting money on items you are not going to watch. Especially these days when money is tight. Much rather buy something else than have an expensive shelf filler.

      @pj indeed

      As some ‘collectors’ of these are not getting any younger. IF they dont keep releasing them more often, BBC Studios will see a sudden drop in sales when the collectors are no longer around.
