Doctor Who minifigs cheap in Asda!
« on: March 31, 2009, 11:50:56 PM »
Well, the title says it all really, £1.20 for a pack of 3, couldn't help myself even though I don't like Doctor Who...

On another note, what's with the rarity allocation? 1 Rare and 2 Uncommons... No commons? Not so common after all...

Really? It was the first time I'd seen them in there tonight, aren't prices supposed to be the same across a chain?

Post a pic!! I might have to get some shipped to me from the motherland (we don't have Asda)
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

No. All the UK supermarkets have at least two bands of prices, relating to location.

No, about 28mm, varying with the individual character, obviously.

Aaaargh!

I went to my local Asda today, but didn't look in the toy department  :'(

Hopefully there will be plenty left on Friday.

Need many more Cybermen and Daleks  :)

Although they are very 28-30mm tall the Humanoid figures are very thin. In comparison to gaminng miniatures like Copplestone's they look like teenagers.

According to the packaging they're 35mm scale, though the werewolf I got was 40mm tall (base of foot to top of head) which works out nice for what I'll use him for...

Just noticed they're 99p a pack at forbidden planet, though shipping might make it more expensive (plus the random selection):

That price is likely only available from the website, unfortunately - seems to be part of some special sale...
