I think that's actually the largest amount of Who stuff I've seen in any B&M up here. In Castlemilk of all places. Castlemilk! Not sure when I'll be going back mind you, but I can still keep an eye out, or two.

I came home via the two most likely B&Ms tonight and saw none of this. I reckon like last time, these releases seem to start in Scotland and slowly come lower and lower down as deliveries arrive through the week. Might not be lucky until the weekend, although the GB forum had a sighting in Bristol. I still need to check if I actually need the Daleks and whether this TARDIS is different to the last Davison one. How many Tardles does one man need?

Annoying there seems to be specific areas, including the south-east, that haven't had the new sets yet. Supply seems to be fine in the north, but nothing round my way. This has been noted on GB too. Has to be soon. Yesterday, my target B&M had restocked a whole shelf load of Unit 1971 sets to go with the abundance of 13th Friends & Foes that were there on Monday. Must have been a delivery holdup from the supplier or something.

Ashton B&M had exactly one 5th Doctor TARDIS hidden behind all the 3-packs: I couldn't see a shelf tag for it. One set of History of the Daleks #3 and a few of the 'friends of the 13th Doctor' and new outfit Sarah and Romanas sets.
Piles of the Scottish 4th Doctor and UNIT chaps: these were in another aisle.
I have asked for the 5th Doc TARDIS and Scottish 4th Doctor sets for Chrimbo.

The three figure sets are the ones that seem to have stuck around the most in these parts. The TARDIS set might hang about more than the Troughton one because there's nothing new in it. Both the TARDIS and Doctor have been released before, just not together. Both the dalek sets are only minor paint variations on previous versions too. We're now at the point where variants are coming from different white balances in 60s colour photos taken on the sets. The Chase drone in this new set has a slightly different shade of blue on the skirt balls to the last one and the shoulder section is a slightly different grey.

How much do the TARDIS sets sell for at B&M? I can't quite tell if the eBay prices are scalper prices...

Ah, thanks very much for the offer!
I was asking in anticipation of there being a forthcoming release with the 7th - I was looking at the B&M site and not finding anything, so turned to eBay to get an idea of price (then realised my mistake!). Unless there are any 2nd docs still hanging around, I think that's the only other I'd go for.

I'm likely to be hitting it again this weekend, so can pick one up if they still have any.

These still aren't out in the South East. I may well need to enlist some help to purloin from the abundant North if they don't show up soon.

The big question is: Why Ten, and not the current Doctor?

I'll definitely be doing a B&M run this weekend, after discovering they have a decent draining board that we apparently need, so do you want me to pick up anything for you?

As a non-driving London dweller I never set foot in a branch of B&M when I lived in England. I just have this vague idea that it's a home store that's on the cheap side, and in that context it fascinates me that they also have an exclusive range of fan-targeted Doctor Who toys. How did that happen?

They had a couple of figure packs from remaindered stock a few years back - one was the corrected version of a Dalek 3 pack and they sold gang busters. tmukhub.proboards.com/post/139594/threadIt took off from there. I imagine there's a fan in the purchasing dept too. It's about the only thing they have that doesn't look overstock, grey import or cheap KO

My B&M again tonight had nothing - these news sets aren't out in the south at all. Let me work out exactly what I need and I'll give you a list. And my credit card.

Make sure you get the Ghostbusters Marshmallow Man mallows and Slimer mallows! That's exactly why I went last time, actually - needed to get out of the house for a wander, figured I could take the Scraplet on a detour through Kings Park, and then discovered that B&M had lots of other lovely stuff, too. And... yeah. They taste... exactly as you'd expect. Awful, mostly sugar, but oddly moorish...

Excellent, that set looks like exactly what I want! A Dalek too!
Thanks for the heads-up!

That one and the Capaldi/Davros one look like straight reissues, no paint changes from the last releases that I can see on a quick glance. That Ace set is lovely though as a presentation pair. These sets have been Doctor & Dalek so far, so a companion & Dalek opens up new possibilities.
The recent wave finally seems to be filtering into the south. I found Dalek sets 3 & 4 in my local B&M this morning.
