It has legendary status amongst Whovians as the serial was believed lost for many years until discovered in Hong Kong in 1992.The action of The Tomb of the Cybermen follows directly on from that of the preceding serial The Evil of the Daleks, with the Doctor and Jamie welcoming the newly orphaned Victoria aboard the TARDIS. Commissioned as Doctor Who and the Cybermen Planet, this was the third encounter between the Doctor and his half-human, half-machine foes.
It was co-written by Kit Pedler, who devised the Cybermen in The Tenth Planet, and Gerry Davis, the story editor who had helped develop them. This is limited to 3000 units worldwide.

April 28th, 2018 - 11:49pmIf ‘exclusive to RSD 2018’ how come Amazon is going to be selling them … and for less than I paid at my local record store on the day!?

April 21st, 2018 - 7:38pmIt very silly (and very brilliant) but my Hubby got up early,left at 5am, woke me up with a phone call at 8.30.
The queue was 100 strong , some having been there overnight, or from 3am. He still managed to bag Tomb..missed City by moments.
And yes as whoRules says. I have read, seen, read, seen, lstened, read, listened etc etc. , and i opened it, and have heard parts one and two(disc one) and it sounded like the freshest new who since enemy & web dvds.
a new treasured item. ps; the sticker says Behind the scenes photos. there are 2 pics. The tomb pic and the doorway pic. dont think these are behind the scenes , more like publicity /BBC photos .
happy dance (and i am far too old to be either š

March 6th, 2018 - 7:58pmHow many versions of stories are who fans willing to buy!
This has been : 1, a hardcover book, 2.paperback edition of hardcover 3. paperback with new cover 4. Audio cassette 5.Vhs video 6. Audio cd 7.dvd 8. Talking book cd 9. Special edition dvd
And now 10. an album! But that’s 3 versions of the same book, plus a talking book version, 3 versions of the audio soundtrack and 3 versions of the actual episodes. I personally had the two paperback versions, audio cassette, vhs and both dvds! Effectively I’ve bought the same story 6 times! I think i must be mad! (I currently own the reprint book and dvd se as i had a clear out after all you can’t keep everything)

LP collectors who may not buy any of the above
Whorules
March 6th, 2018 - 9:40pmYou’ve got me wrong boo boo, of course lp collectors will buy it, I’m sure it will be very nice, i was just saying there has been a lot of versions. Note I’ve bought multiple versions of this already. I never said it should not be released.
Whorules
March 6th, 2018 - 9:41pmOh and a mate of mine is buying this. He doesn’t have a turntable. He’s only buying it to have it on a shelf.

March 6th, 2018 - 10:00pmWhat’s wrong with that?
Whorules
March 6th, 2018 - 10:12pmNothing. I keep saying I’m not complaining. How many versions is a genuine question. I’m curious to know which story individuals on here have the most versions of? For me it’s shada, bbc novel, bbc script book, new zealand novel, 2 versions on dvd i also used to have the video, and the big finish cd but no longer have those. So i own 5 versions of shada. Nothing wrong with it. Nothing odd, it’s what we collector’s do.

March 6th, 2018 - 7:20pmOk… slightly weird. But the artwork is neat to be fair.

March 6th, 2018 - 8:03pmThank you. (I did the artwork so Iām a bit biased)
Alex
March 7th, 2018 - 12:05amOh congratulations! While I’m not interested in the vinyl itself (I spend a lot of money on things DW, but even I have trouble justifying that to my wallet :P) but the artwork is utterly gorgeous.
David Timoney
March 7th, 2018 - 5:57amThank you. Very kind of you to say so.

March 6th, 2018 - 7:13pmHow much does it cost?
Gareth Pugh
March 6th, 2018 - 10:15pmWell, Record Store Day releases aren’t cheap – they are often more than you would expect to pay for unlimited vinyl releases of things via Amazon for example. I think my Pescatons double-LP (it came paired with the BBC DW Sound Effects LP from the 70s, on coloured vinyl) last year was about Ā£27 or Ā£28
