October 17th, 2012 - 11:33amThis is amazing, but the main handle kind of just dulls the effect. I think to really like this you need the personalize set as well.

September 23rd, 2012 - 4:43pmIn that picture of the new screwdriver with the other ‘Build your own Sonic Screwdrivers’, the one on the left has got its two middle sections the wrong way round – the black handle section is above the switch section which does not work!
Just thought I would point that out!!

August 26th, 2012 - 1:30amThis is pretty cool on its own. Unfortunately this isn’t really “compatible” with the existing “Built Your Own Sonic Screwdriver” kit as they advertise.
This tip is designed sideways so it doesn’t fit correctly on the other screwdrivers. The second piece (with the button) is slightly smaller than the second piece of all of the other screwdrivers, which means the other tips will not fit on it.
I also wish they didn’t change the design from the prototype. It’s not bad, but because of these design flaws you’re limited to how you can mix them up.

April 3rd, 2013 - 8:31amThis screwdriver does fit with the other parts why are you even saying it doesnt? I have tried it out with all the parts do i have a different version or something!
Edward WinterRose
October 14th, 2014 - 1:43amMine, bought early in the toy’s release here in the united states, also suffers from the victorian era collar with the activator button being a nickel’s thickness too short. Being too short, the tip will not fit with any of the other screwdrivers with a core installed in it. With a core on, the tip will not fit fully into the collar to snap in place. I contacted Character Concepts regarding this flaw. They denied such a flaw existed. Which saddened me, as their customer service has been exemplary here in the united states until now.

August 19th, 2012 - 11:40pmWhat happend to the arm-worn TARDIS?! I thought that it would’ve been released by now? Can someone please get me out of the dark on this subject? Much appreciated. 🙂
Radburn
August 20th, 2012 - 2:24amStill awaiting release. May have been put on the back-burner for awhile?
Don’t really get it as I’m sure it would sell well. I certainly still want one!
John Smith
August 20th, 2012 - 6:57amI had my suspicions that they were going to give the arm-worn TARDIS the chop and cancel it’s release! That would’ve sucked! 🙁
Risket
August 21st, 2012 - 2:48amI HOPE they continue with the Personal TARDIS. I also hope they don’t ruin the design like they did with this Trans-Temporal Sonic Screwdriver. The original design was brilliant. Absolutely perfect. Then they changed it and it looks…. weak.

August 2nd, 2012 - 11:26pmWho wants to make a video review about this crazy goodies ?
Risket
August 26th, 2012 - 10:21pmI might actually make a video review. Mainly because I found some problems with it. It doesn’t fit correctly with the “Build Your Own Sonic Screwdriver” like it claims to be.
Also, in that second picture up there ↑ where it shows examples, the combination on the left is impossible. The configuration of those pieces makes no sense at all.

August 2nd, 2012 - 4:05pmwow what a great set
Sebatron
August 2nd, 2012 - 11:42amIt looks like it should be in The Eternity Clock

July 31st, 2012 - 3:59pmTo anyone else has bought this – are you having problems putting the heads from the Personalise Your Own Sonic Set with the control section from this set?
tmdtomd
July 31st, 2012 - 5:49pmyes the new sound bit seems to just be too long to fit other emitter heads on
Edward WinterRose
May 27th, 2013 - 4:35pmThe sound emitter isn’t too long. Comparing it to the emitter in the customize set, it’s the same length/ The victorian gold inlaid collar piece is too short by about an American Nickel’s thickness.
Edward WinterRose
October 14th, 2014 - 1:44amI can confirm the victorian collar is too short.

Also ,Booboo, could you attach a video or MP3 link to the page with the new sound effects. Thank you.
Sebatron
July 30th, 2012 - 12:11amI would get this, but no forbidden planet shops in Adelaide!
John Smith
July 30th, 2012 - 6:26amTheres always Amazon or you can order it online from Forbiden Planet’s site. Theres also Minator in Melbourne as well. They’ll probably have it.
Sebatron
July 31st, 2012 - 10:11amYeah I will probably get it from the ABC shop here
John Smith
July 29th, 2012 - 10:52amLooks awesome. Definently going to get it but did they really have to add in that terrible back story? I’m glad that it’s compatible with the Customise your own Sonic set cos some of the parts I wasn’t really satisfied with.
MrWho63

July 27th, 2012 - 6:57pmThis looks like something the Eighth Doctor would use ! 🙂

July 27th, 2012 - 6:37pmwhat episode has this been in /going to be in
Mels
July 27th, 2012 - 6:50pmIt’s not from a specific episode. Character Options have designed some ‘cosplay’/toy items (like this) themselves. So they are official merchandise, but you won’t see them in the episodes.
McGann is The Doctor
July 27th, 2012 - 6:57pmIt’s like a Sonic Screwdriver that’s UNIQUE to you.
