    I’m trying to compile a list of all the B&M variants that have been released. Has someone already done the work, can anyone point me towards such a list?

    Also, more importantly, I’m trying to figure out how scarce some of the releases were. Here in Scotland, stuck in the middle of the central belt halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh there’s few and far between B&M locations that stocked the figures. Either overstocked multiples of some very common ones or not even sight of any of the scarcer ones. There’s some massive gaps in my collection.

    I wish their online presence offered a more even playing field for collectors. Especially those of us who are geographically challenged. I don’t mind hunting for figures, but it’s nice to know there’s something waiting at the end of the chase. Something more than just a wild goose 🙁

      distribution did seem a bit random but i think there are more of these sets so hopefully they will get more evenly distributed

      An online presence is difficult as their business model is to get people in stores.

      I don’t know a list, you will find them all here http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/?s=B%26M

      variants are in the posts such as Jo grant head and Sontaran stripes

      Thanks Booboo. A bit random is probably an optimistic way of describing some of the releases. I’m guessing figures were sent to locations with a greater population density. There’s some cities in England that have a larger population than all of Scotland. So I’m kind of handicapped before I even start trying to chase any releases. Then the spotters announce sightings through social media, and your website, none of which are near me. Or if they’re relatively close then there’s bound to be others who’ve managed to get there first.

      I’m working through your many pages of merchandise information. Impressive! Heartfelt thanks. It’s a bit overwhelming to see how much there is now compared with the wilderness years between classic and new era series.

      i know how you feel, we live in Cheletenham, which is a biggish town, and they never got the 3 pack or (3rd) Tardis, so i went to Evesham, a much smaller town who had the 3 packs but not the Tardis so i had to get someone to send one to me.

      I’m in Edinburgh and it looks like Livinston is usually your best bet for figures in B&M in the area.

      Here’s a list of all the B&M variants released so far (2014-2018) that I made last year:

      It's mad to think that we've now had 5 years' worth of #DoctorWho B&M sets. 9+ figures a year – in total, over 45! So I thought I'd make a handy list of what we've had so far.Red shows figures that were rare, or previously only available as exclusives. Bold shows new variants. pic.twitter.com/aHVJBvEGKc— Richard Lloyd (@StetsonDoctor) August 13, 2018

      Thanks Richard Lloyd. There’s more variants than I thought! Didn’t realise there had been so many. I’ve now got to decide if It’s worth trying to get a complete collection or just stick to a select few within a limited theme.

      I wonder if the two figure sets could be the Daleks that were released a few years ago – the sets that included McGann and the red Dalek, or could it be the Doctor / Dlaek sets that also came out years ago?

    • booboo

      June 11th, 2019 - 9:33am

      I think it was mentioned they could do a “movie Dalek” as one was seen in the chase in the background.

    I love a 7th Doctor and ace double pack or a 7th Doctor and the imperial dalek double pack either one of those would be lovely

    I hope the rarer figures from Forbidden Planet / Underground Toys aren’t re-released or the value of my figure collection is going to plummet overnight! It’s my little nest-egg for my daughter when she’s older.

    • booboo

      June 11th, 2019 - 8:59am

      on the opposite end i think thats what many people are very much hoping for

    • The Outcast

      Screw value, I want rarer figures to be re-issued. Emperor Davros would be a great re-release.

    June 11th, 2019 - 8:07am

    Things are about to get crazy!!! There’s nothing in particular I’m anticipating, but I’m sure one or two (if not all of the sets) will take my fancy once they’re announced though!

    A double pack of Missy and John Simm from The Doctor Falls would be cool but unlikely.

    it is gonna be 5th and tardis – most likely

    • The Outcast

      June 11th, 2019 - 7:36am

      That’s one of the TARDIS sets for sure. I reckon the other is a Season 17 4th Doctor and TARDIS set.

    from what i’ve heard the three packs will be more repaints

    but this new 2 figure set has me intrigued

      I’m assuming the 7ths doctor umbrella that booboo has just but over the image is a clue to 7th doctor set? Will the two packs be Doctor and companion sets

    • booboo

      June 11th, 2019 - 8:35am

      i think you reading to much into that, its just supposed to be a general ? just seemed a good idea to use the umbrella.

    The Tardis sets have been constantly in stock my local B&M this year so far easier to get hold of than last years set. Hopefully the next sets will be just as easy to get as I really won’t be paying double on eBay for anything.

      Tbh I can’t say for sure, deffo will see repainted figures but theres something “unexpected” and “exciting” this year so no idea what to expect!

    It’s just a hope, but this is what I’m thinking.

    13th doctor TARDIS interior playset
    13th doctor in pink top and TARDIS exterior set
    Graham, Ryan and Yaz set
    Grace, tentacle monster and Tim Shaw set
    Vigerian, Kerblam man and Morax set
    Rosa Parks and Krasko set
    Tim Shaw and Sniper bot set
    Recon Dalek and 13th doctor with scarf set

    Just a guess, I’ll probably be wrong, but let’s just hope for the best.

      June 10th, 2019 - 10:17pm

      It won’t be – there’s no s11 stuff coming bar maybe a 13 variant at best as the companions and the TARDIS are coming next year. No other figures have been commissioned unfortunately 🙁

    • EndlessTimelord

      June 10th, 2019 - 10:22pm

      Won’t be Series 11 related (would be very surprised if it will be)

      There’s certainly a chance that there could be a 13th Doctor repaint.

      If everyone remembers the Bill Potts figure ended up being a repaint and released in B&M before the Amazon released.

      expect the expected, and the very unexpected

      There are many things where i really don’t know, not a clue, so i’m guessing along with the rest of you.

      I may be barking up the wrong tree but i’m getting vibes for “random figure(s)”.

    I’ve never yet been lucky enough to find any DW stock in these shops. It’s a shame that these guys don’t do on line shopping. That said it is the Aldi of the toy shops. Low cost, no frills etc,. I just wish there was an easier way of ordering, reserving and/or they had more locations. Great for those lucky enough to live near one.
