Title: Doctor Who: Cybermen - Where to get them??
Post by: CyberAlien312 on 05 July 2012, 05:48:26 PM
Hi,
I hate the fact that the only decent new series cybermen miniatures ever produced were the ones from micro-universe. Since Micro-universe was cancelled a few years ago, I wondered where to get Micro-universe cybermen? Are they available somewhere? I sometimes see people on the internet with Micro-universe cybermen, but did they just buy them when they were still available or could you buy them used?  ???

I've got four Micro Universe Cybermen and a Cyberleader - I'm open to offers.

Definitely OOP I'm afraid, I suspect a lot of UK Who fans  like me bought the Micro Universe  sets when they appeared in The Works remaindered bookshops, closely followed by scouring Ebay and the Bazaar of Obscurities.

I count at least 10 available on the first 2 pages of that search...

Alas, it seems it's only ebay these days (but these can get a bit pricy if you need a bunch...) - I have a bunch of the stubby ones that came free with the Who magazine a while back if they're any use to you though? (Probably not though, as the MU ones are nicer - I wish I'd bought more when I had the chance, I only need one more!)

Yeah, on ebay the prices tend to get a little high... Certainly because I would want several cybermen, so I would have to buy several items, so I would have to pay p&p several times and I'd have a lot of extra figures I actually don't want... As for the free ones, you mean the ones from the Doctor Who adventures magazine? I'm afraid they're rubbish...

I have a few and a load of daleks from the micro-universe range, still not sure if I'm getting rid or not so pm me if you want to try and persuade me. ;)

I need one more (just a head really, for a cybershade conversion) if there's any left after CyberAlien312 has cleared everyone else out...

I've sent a PM to Commander Vyper, but I'm not sure if I'll be buying anything yet, and I haven't bought anything from Van-Helsing so...
