New 5.5" figures - so please assure us you'll get these

That other site uping shipping costs in the US? Don't they offer it free if you spend a certain amount?

With costs almost doubled, and with them being a 3rd party to the other company, they might not. It's the friends we have in common that save the day for most fans, as usual.

I have not seen these figures on 'the other site' if we are talking about the same thing.

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.

Just been shown those prices, yes they have put them up, I seen then last week and apart from the Daleks the rest were much lower. I checked the other site, not listed them yet.
Here in the UK, still no date for release.

Someone over on FB believes that the page is fake. We'll find out soon enough, as Ian, you know I will rant about that over there!

Good to rant. One thing I don't get, here where we get them from bnm haven't reduced the price of the Peladon Tardis or the re release of the Dalek sets. Somone on Facebook went to a store today, they had a further delivery of those sets.

...btw...if anybody was curious about the difference in the Seventh Doctor figure from the reissue of the Big Finish Seventh Doctor/Dalek set, this is it...

original one on the left, reissue on the right...

That's the site that Al Dewar of Character Options supplied on a certain other toys forum.

Some news, the new sets will be released in the UK on July 25th.

Hey WhoNA,

Looking at the upcoming next wave of B+M sets I see that the "official" folks importing these sets have prices even a bit higher than your IMPORT prices on the last wave. That's crazy! Are you planning on getting imports on these three 3-packs, TARDIS, and two Dalek sets?

Whona any news on these sets?

Hi all,

New sets are due out next week, not sure what prices the new supplier is offering but royal mail postage to USA has shot up! If anyone wants me to try and get some it's looking like $44 in postage costs (up to 2kg- which is about three sets packaged) plus sets at $33 per set.

Send me a message if you want me to look for anything- gonna be going out looking to army build my classic dalek forces!

I plan on getting those new toys from WhoNA if they carry them.  

From what I've heard, there is a new US distributor who's distributing the toys to many retailers, not just the mega-site.  

BUT the owner of Mike's Comics said they WON'T be carrying them because of certain restrictions that the distributor is putting on them.  It sounded like he was saying the distributor wasn't letting individual retailers set their own price, but he didn't outright say that, so I wouldn't accept that as truth, or even as rumor.  I don't know if the restrictions are so bad WhoNA won't want to carry them, either.

Regardless, from the look of things, that mega-site won't be giving you any discounts if you order from them, so if WhoNA gets them, you cant go wrong.

I'm buying the 4th doctor companion set and the unit set for sure...when this shop gets the Troughton set, I will likely buy it as well.

I was so looking forward to a Troughters TARDIS and Romana II but looks like this may be the hardest ones to get.

In the UK the sets are being released this Saturday 25th July. I hope Whona get them.

The fact those prices are likely inclusive of shipping aside, I still wouldn't make that assumption right now.

Those who visit and buy from Amazon regularly, know prices fluctuate more as a rule than exception, and that promo codes might start flying once they're stocked. As such, I take the currently listed prices on BDWN as MSRP, which they can, I'm actually going to assume will, drop after becoming available.

However, truth be told, neither of us can really know until that happens.

Managed to grab one of each of the first two sets. It sounds like there is a re-fill coming on the 4th Companions set per the Toy Announcement thread. Hopefully I'll be able to get the full lineup without giving any money Amazon.

Thank you for pulling off the impossible yet again, WHONA!

Miss getting these figures how much were the sets?

Dang, totally missed these! Guess they went fast - ahh, just like the good ol days! I know everyone will be asking so forgive me if already been answered but when will more Sarah Jane/Romanas Sets be in? Want that set more than anything, and multiples, but actually I do want every set this wave! I want the newest series stuff the least and will probably wait to get it after I get the classic sets, but the likenesses are amazing! Haven’t been this excited for Dr Who figures for ...years really, and given these are figures I always wanted, it’s really an amazing thing that CO has pulled off!!!

Yes! Thank you Whona again for making these available. I did get a fourth Doc's companions set. Hoping to get the UNIT set as well. doc272, sets were $60.00

Is is terrible I want multiple Companions of the 4th Doctor to make customs??? This wave has been a big ol reminder of the good ole days of when I used to be an avid customizer, watched all 3 Who shows thru the year on TV (Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adv, and Torchwood), and we had real, honest to goodness action figures of the new series AND Classic series! It was the Second Golden Age of Who. And humans were far nicer to one another! Miss those days!.. :-)

We will see more soon...

Any chance on the UNIT set? Thank you.
