On the flipside, I've not had problems ordering toys from play.com before. I still need to get the 11 Doctors set though

Their automated system says I cannot even contact them to get my money back before the 7th of January.
Oh well. They have now lost my business completely. Nowt wrong with having to wait a while before a refund but I object to being unable to contact a human being.

Where Play failed, TRU stepped up the plate. In 3 different parts of the shop are around 3 dozen sets. Thus, one was claimed.
I shall briefly pass through Glasgow next week on way to folks. Should FPG have them, Delgado Master and Peri must be claimed...

My Army Awakes!
For a certain value of Army... having found an Earthshock Cyberman figure going for eight quid in Tesco (the first one I have seen in the Plastic) I felt I simply had to purchase him. He has now smashed his way out of his puny plastic packaging, grabbed his Cybergun and is shambling around the shelves looking for my Peter Davison-Doctor to menace.

I saw a couple when the Army of Steel range came into TRU last year, but all 6 Earthshock Cybermen from the 2 cases I put out were gone by the end of my shift! It was midweek, too!

My Tesco does not seem to be a hot-spot for toys selling, they have got this stuff in the seasonal aisle and the Who figures certainly do not seem to be selling in any particular hurray(Read, it looks like I am the only person buying them.....)
I don't think that it will be Masters we end up with a load of though - looks like the shelves are overrun with Ice Warriorsssss. (Although someone apparently wanted the Voc robots...)

VOC robots with customisable numbers. There's a Robots of Death fan near you.

I've found an image repository of Dapol figures, those wonderful, mad toys made by Dapol for Doctor Who from the late 80s to 2001. They were pretty awful toys for the 80s, but they never really updated any of their molds or processes, so continued churning out pretty crappy toys until 2001 when they lost their license. Along the way we got a green K9, a two-armed Davros, many many Bonnie Langford colour variations and a whole array of daleks, some even covered in sparkly glitter. Crap, but in an endearing, innocent way. Whole range is here: www.richardwho.com/DapolProject/index.aspI had an all-gold dalek, and a red and silver dalek  Fourth Doctor playset with...

Grabbed a Flight Control TARDIS in the Sainsburys 25% off everything sale. I thought it was time I had a TARDIS for the Doctors to argue over who gets to fly it. Though I need to find the screwdrivers I have apparently eaten before I can make it do the noises. And buy the batteries which don't effing come with it.
In other news, saw a Fourth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver in FP.

I've just bought a Flight Control Tardis for Jonathan: he keeps wanting to open the doors on his moulded shut Tardis money box. I got mine from TRU.co.uk: Bonus 11th Doctor and pervy policewoman Pond figures.

Would anyone recommend this set?. I don't have any of the Doctors aside from a 10th Doctor I grabbed in a charity shop and a Time Squad version. Was thinking of getting all the Doctors and was wondering if this set would save some moolah. ===KEN |

It's worth it. Decent sculpts, 8th Doc is exclsuive to it, other docs have different outfits to the individually sold versions (which are FP only and retail at £15 anyway) and much cheaper per figure than WHO figs usually are anyway!

11 Doctors set is £30 on Tescos website, though it will cost £5 postage if you dont' have a store nearby to collect from.
