Dammit Steve, if it wasn't for you and these advanced warnings I wouldn't have to smuggle bagfuls of kids magazines into the house past the missus

Dammit, only 1 handbot!

Buy some and start a swap-shop on the Bazar?

Pardon the ignorance of but a mere mortal colonial, but, what does this mean?
My daughter has become a Dr. Who fanatic. She makes these sculpy  10mm Dalek ear rings and sells them to her friends. If this is something she can get free,

 help a brother out?

Doctor Who Adventures is a weekly children's magazine published in the UK, containing articles, pin-ups, puzzles and comic strips based on the TV series.  Each issue has a toy or some-such either attached to the cover or in a polybag with the magazine.  This week it's a mask.  Next week, it's this pack of minis (roughly to 30mm size - see numerous previous threads).

These toys and other geegaws are billed as "free gifts", but the costs are, of course, factored into the cover price - usually £2.50 GBP an issue.  The more desirable of them generally turn up for sale separately on eBay, often at ridiculously inflated prices.

How much would you need from me to get me 2 of them?

[Steve F]

I suggest, Pariah, that you ask someone rather more reliable (and less selfish) than me: I can be reasonably sure of getting a copy for myself from the local newsagent, but getting multiple copies in my little town would involve foraging further afield, and I can't always manage that.  Sorry.

Hi Parriah,
I'm a newbie here but I could probably pick up a couple of copies from my local branch of WH Smith (if they don't sell out fast).  If you could cover the cost of purchase and postage then I'd be more than happy to help a fellow out.

I'm surprised about they're only being 1 Handbot and one Minotaur. Most of these figures have been released before in lots of at least five. Got to wonder if at some time in the near future there's going to be a release with more Handbots. Certainly hope so - medical care has rarely been so menacing!

That'd be fantastic, PM sent!

Thanx for the quick response anyway Steve!

What size are these things anyway?

[No Such Agency]

I'm surprised about they're only being... one Minotaur.

Perhaps it is actually a Nimon

Roughly 30mm-ish. See here for photos with a ruler: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=37326.15
