    Last year for “Doctor Who Comic Day” I was the only one queued outside at opening time. Today there were 5 of us. Bit of a shame really.

    I bought the three sets at the time for £35-45 ea so could not resist buying them again for £5ea. Will check for permutations, but otherwise they will make presents for friends.

    Did not see anything Dr Mr Men related for youngsters, but maybe that was because at 9am there were none around nor even by 9.45 when I left.

      don’t think the Mr Men stuff will be around until after next weekends launch at the DWE (which we are going to )

    Went to Liverpool, got the three sets plus an 11 Doctors poster and two comics in the free bag-the 2015 SDCC special (Clara cover) and the Tenth Doctor Year Two Issue 17.

    Plenty left in Cambridge a couple of hours ago. It’s a shame really, I’m glad I got them but the demand seems really low, and this offer is clearing stock that FP have been reducing for a long time. I’m really surprised they are not selling quick, unless they just made far too many.

    Went to my local store, got 3 of the goodie bags because my brothers went. I got 2 supremacy of the Cybermen, a 12th doctor comic, a comic con 2015 exclusive Clara cover B, a 3rd doctor comic and a 9th doctor one. The poster you get in the bag is awful. The one you get when you buy the merchandise is awesome! I got all 3 Sets and honestly, you can’t go wrong with £15.

    I just went to my local FP and picked up the three sets. The two comics I got free were a Comic Con exclusive and a Comic Book Day special which I was very happy about. The poster, however, is disappointing. The only reason they are giving them free is because they wont even sell at 99p because they are so boring. I also got a promo poster for the new Mr men doctor who books and a cute badge of the cartoon eleventh doctor.

    I definitely recommend it for any dw fan.

    Also, at 9.30am, when the shop opened, there was literally no costumers there and even when I left (at 10am) there was near to no one there, so no rush it seems?! 🙂

    Southampton store had a fare few left when we went in this morning. No fanfare or anything about Doctor Who, in fact you wouldn’t think they were doing anything ‘special’. Only other offer I could see was 3.75″ Capaldi for £1.99.

      also the free poster has been reduced to 99p normaly so its not that good of a bargain 🙂

      April 11th, 2017 - 4:22pm

      finally, my local FP opens at 10am on easter Saturday, but the page that Is linked above says that it opens at 9.30am?

    Hey booboo, since all 3 sets are £15. Are you able to get them online for the same deal?

      April 11th, 2017 - 3:28pm

      no, not at the moment, i did contact them about doing an exclusive offer with us maybe but at the moment they want to get people in-store

      depends on how many are left i suppose, you never know

      no because its not the same Forbidden Planet

      Well whats the difference? Its the same shop. Or is Nottingham just not good enough? Always the same.

      Visit “any” of the stores (apart from certain locations) false advertising.

    • The Werewolf

      April 12th, 2017 - 2:52am

      But Forbidden Planet.com and Forbidden Planet.co.uk are two different stores.

      I don’t think a lot of people realise that they are two DIFFERENT Companies. After all the original legal problems, you would of thought one would get the rights to the name? No wonder it confuses people.

    For those sets, I’m unsure of wether or not it means they are £15 each, or buying all three will cost £15 altogether. Any ideas anyone?

    • booboo

      April 11th, 2017 - 12:43pm

      all three for £15

    • Doctor909

      April 11th, 2017 - 12:43pm

      I think it means you get all 3 for £15 because both “Enemies of” sets are currently £9.99 so it wouldn’t really be a deal if they moved the prices up

  • Koquillian

    April 11th, 2017 - 10:18am

    15 quid for all three! what a deal!

      I’ve had all three sets for a few years, but tempted to get duplicates in the name of army building (not sure what I’ll do with two Omegas, though…!)

      Good chance to get your hands on a Mondas Cyberman though….

      Oh like the mondasian cybermen will ever be relevant again…

      …wait…
