I was also hoping you'd be the store referenced in that article. I'm sad to hear that it isn't. I'd so much rather support you guys.
I concur. Would much rather support the store that existed back in the late 1990's before there ever was thought of a revival. WhoNA has been excellent getting us all kinds of product that we otherwise would never of had a chance to even know about. I consider myself lucky that I found this site when we first got internet at the office.
I guess I'm just going to have to find something else to order here next month. Season 14 Blu Rays are still a way off.

OOH these look nice! It's super rude that WhoNA isn't being given import priority!

I have been collecting DW figures since the very beginning. It really is sad how the "BBC business" has treated not only the collectors, but those willing to put their business finances on the line to not only carry, but actually pay for their own exclusive. The company that has been "distributing" (and I use the word very loosely) Character Options products in the US has been a total joke. Yet WHONA continued to do their best to get these products for US customers. And now this is how the powers that be repay the loyalty of WHONA. Please know we feel for you and hope things look up for you.

Man... I'm so torn.
I'm super excited about these figures... But super pissed if WhoNA is getting squeezed out!
It's also really crappy that this 'other' place is using "Official North America" in it's name... Like a direct slap in the face to a company that has been supporting the Doctor Who brand in North America for YEARS! It reminds me of when Viacom went after Star Trek fan sites in the mid-90's.

These do look great! Thanks for posting up the pics
From a little searching around, it looks like these won't be available in the US until sometime in July? I can't seem to find any retailers listing these. I'd like to preorder some of the sets to make sure I can get them.

They are not available in the UK either. I was sent these to review. Did read yesterday a date of July 20th, but no idea if its true.

Thanks Ianto! At least that gives us a timeframe to consider, instead of just "surprise, they're available to order.... and 2 minutes later they're sold out!"

I was never good enough to be a 'friend' for Al Dewar, but's ok, I love all that he has done for getting these figures to us over the years. I just wish he would have a been a bit more "fair" to certain eras of the show so we would have had walk Eaglemoss is doing with their releases, Quarks, Tractators, Nimon etc;

All down to costs. A lot of these figures use bodies from other figures. Example, Romana 2 is made from a SJA figure & Sarah is made from Martha from Last of the Time Lords.

With that other site, they raised the prices! I think they're try scam people. The cost from The UK (with shipping) seems to be equal to the costs they now will be charging. I have a bad feeling about this.
