It’s occurred to me that there was a brief period when I was able to find decent Who stock - including Daleks - in the local B&M, and that that period was during the pandemic (or the part where people acknowledged there was one). I guess that various lockdowns and travel restrictions meant that scalpers couldn’t travel that easily, hence why there was stock available…

I...just can't care anymore. The line was too stressful to try to collect so I stopped even trying a while ago. -Ralph So imagine my surprise when I went in a B&M this morning and saw *piles* of History of the Daleks #11 and #12!!!! £17 a set. Got one each. They also had McGann 3-packs for £13 so one came home with me too. -Ralph |

Blimey. They must be warehouse clearing, that's a great find! The Genesis Daleks are particularly striking compared to the earlier release versions. The McGann pack is definitely worth it; those are the best colours on those three versions of him. The movie one is much better than the original.

Today's unexpected find means I am only missing* #9 and #10 from a full set... ...and the Creation of the Daleks set... -Ralph *Is there a #13? I tuned out when the line became vapourware. |

No 13 yet. I don't think we can guarantee what the next sets will be numbered as they seem to be out of order. I'm suspicious because the Destiny set contains Destiny Daleks A and C. But there hasn't been a B. That made me assume there would be another Davros/Dalek set containing Destiny B, because we haven't had a reissue of the bomber Dalek. But it seems not, or it's been dropped as part of the line being reduced.

However, I did finally cave and order the "Regeneration" set but that was because it easy as I could just go on Character's website and order it at RRP. Easy. How it should be. No bollocks.

Nice! Are you back up to a full run of the history sets now then?

Yeah.
I have yet to fold on the 'Creation of the Daleks' set as the ebay asking prices remain 'fuck off' for that.

No bollocks. -Ralph I am experiencing Buyers Regret. Set was packed so tightly in the shipper the 'limited edition' packaging was destroyed just getting the bloody thing out. Jodie is ok though the coat mould restricts movement. She struggles to hold her Sonic. Tennant is...fuck me...that head sculpt does not look better in person. -Ralph |

I haven't bought that set yet. It will doubtless be the only way to add a 14th Doctor to the line up given his short tenure, but the headsculpt does look bloody awful and I already have a 13th. It'll be a sad necessity, can't have a Doctor missing, but new series releases are optional for me. I'm only all in on Classic stuff.

Oh I was always going to get it as I need at least one of every Doctor.
Which reminds me to acquire a War Doctor at some point. A Curator too.
Now do the Fugitive Doctor, Character.

I just want to see what price it is.
