Doctor Who: Cybermen - Where to get them??
« on: July 05, 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.
Waiter, my soup is giggling.

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 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...
