Thanks to the MAGNIFICENCE of Llama, I now have the Zygons set, second Fourth Doc companions set and the Davison TARDIS. MWAH! to him. All of these sets have still never been seen in the south.

Thanks also to Llama's MAGNIFICENCE I now have my first ever Doctor Who toys in the form of the Troughton TARDIS set. It's really nice! I think I underestimated how nice it would be to have a chunky TARDIS toy sitting on my desk.
Now have to watch like a hawk for that Ace / Dalek set...

You can't beat a chunky TARDIS. They're just great. I have at least a dozen, I've lost count.

Oh I must try that on Mrs P. Fucking hell, mate- good luck with that one, you brave sonofabitch. I'll send a message to my future self to find your balls in the time vortex of MASSIVE IMPROBABILITIES and stitch 'em back in for ya. If I time it right,you wont even know they're missing... *jumps out Tardis widow*

On that note, do not forget we are approaching festivalmas time. Which of course is when you can order EXCITING THINGS for Shockprowl and when they arrive pretend they are Christmas presents for OTHER PEOPLE.

Found the Ace/Dalek set on the way home today. I will have to get the original Ace out this weekend to compare for differences.

Oh man, I almost forgot! I guess I should be doing my best to extract a set from the UK before Brexit madness hits.

The b&m closest to me doesn't stock the toys at all, but I can swing by the one I was in today on the way home from work next week if you like. They had quite a few Ace sets in today. There's a Smyth's next door so it'll allow me to monitor the Netflix situation.

Last time I bought you toys you paid for them with Class shite!
I got the original Ace out. Aside from a few missing accessories in the B&M version (baseball bat, three nitro-9 cans and alternative sleeveless arms) it is pretty much identical. The finish on the B&M version's jacket is a bit shinier and the paint on the face is much better. The detail on the badges on the B&M version is less fine - the paint application is a bit heavier, but the detail in all the badges is still there. In all, the B&M one is better, but then that seems to have been the case with a lot of the B&M reissues.

I am happy to keep an eye out also. We were in a different B&M yesterday, but didn't see any - but then that was to be expected, since it was not the magical Castlemilk B&M of wonders. I shall have a look there next weekend for any that are still after the Ace set...

I'm likely to be swinging past a B&M over my long weekend, any time from Friday onwards, so who's after an Ace and Dalek set then?

GAH. Nothing new in the Castlemilk B&M. Its legendary status is now revoked. Sorry everyone.

Sadly nothing in the one I got mine in a couple of weeks back. They had loads, but now there is no Who stuff in there at all. I'll try others.
