    This (or the Hide playset) is free at Toys R Us if you spend over £20 on Doctor Who things – pretty good deal!

    Got this, thought I built this quite well for my first go at building one of these. The plastic ‘screws’ were a little fiddly though.

      Me too, I was lucky my local Argos had one of each set. But all to often they have two of the same set so you can’t do the two for £15 thing.

      You never know I’d love a river and there’s loads of possible varients. And Amy needs a husband (also she’s from asylum of the Daleks so there’s nothing that says a Rory can’t be made)

    • Cammythechangeling

      July 29th, 2014 - 10:42am

      But it took them till series 7 or something to make one so I think we will have a long wait for a river and rory…

      there is only one on the right side in the doorway which lenticular and stuck on, would be difficult to cover it with something though

      the one on the stand is a figure which you dont get

    Just wasted 30 mins of my life messing around in Argos….no luck, they only had the Hide set. I’ll just wait for these to hit normal shops….the potential saving of £5 from Argos just isn’t worth the hassle…..it really isn’t.

      July 27th, 2014 - 12:02am

      They only had one left though and it just happened to be Amy its not the shops fault unless they’re mind readers and changed your reservation just to annoy you but erm……I doubt it

    I’m wondering how much money the BBCShop lost due to not having either the playsets or figures up for Pre-order?

    • Doctor Stu

      July 27th, 2014 - 12:04am

      Not lost just not earning. If the figures weren’t out yet the bbc shop wouldn’t be losing money it just wouldn’t be earning the money it would earn if the figures were out if you get what I mean (Wibbly wobbly timey wimey)

    Went to the Doctor Who event at Churnet Valley Railway today and it was dead. The reason, I heard, was that there was this flower show nearby and that’s where everybody was.

    Now a while ago, I had a conversation with some other commentors about how Doctor Who is literally in our back gardens with Sec Scarecrows, Weeping Gnomes and Dalek Squirrels. But this tragic news that a bunch of Daffodils can get more people then a group of Daleks is just taking the mickey.

    Not sure about getting this, or even the Hide set… If you can remove the weeping angel images from the background I’d be more likely to consider it (for me the Dalek time zone set’s only downfall was the Dalek elements in the background which made the set look silly in, say, a Cyberman invasion)

    The Dalek patrol ship and Genesis Dalek, 10th and 12th Doctors take priority for me, along with Amy.

      That section is actually a lenticular panel, like the Ultra Rare Battles in Time cards it changes as you move it, there’s 3 imaages of angels, it’s rather nice in person!
