nothing released... can't find any pics on any website and even the Character Options site doesn't list one... seems odd they would do a new ship when they are pretty much dropping the range...

We thought it curious too - but so far we have only seen it in a three-pack of ships in Woolworths at about £15.
Unfortunately one of the "ships" is the out-of-scale Tardis, which reduces the value for money, but interesting that there is a ship that wasn't in wave 1

I saw that three-ship pack in Woolies last week, but the Tardis put me off so I didn't look closely at the other two  ::) Even with it included, £15.00 isn't too bad for a couple of decent models, especially if the figures are taken into account.

Just to resurrect this thread, due to Woolworths' much publicised demise here in the UK, they have a massive sale going on.

This includes all the Dr Who range, 3 Fig packs are £4.49 and the 7 Fig packs are £6.99. The ships are also cheap, though I forget the price  :(

Sadly Dudley Woolies had no Space Pig today, but at least I have got myself 3 new Daleks, a Cyberman and various other figures of varying use. I think even the less immediately useful ones can be used as bystanders and the sort of unsavoury types that hang around in alien cantinas in 5150.  ;)

With a bit of a re-paint they will be ok as NPCs etc, as they are not really going to see any action and sci-fi civvies are few and far between  :( .

I'm resuming the quest for the Space Pig tomorrow at another local Woolies.......

When the Sainsbury's sale was half price a few weeks back, (3 packs for £2.99) this doesn't really seem much of a sale as yet.

I'd wait till the receivers start liquidating stock... then it'll be a sale.

Yes, but the 7 packs are £6.99, which equates to the Sainsbury's prices - plus you seem to get better figures in the 7 packs  :) The 3 packs have always been priced too high.....

Anyway now I have a K-9 (Affirmative Master) and a source for cheap daleks en masse, (have 12 now more than enough) and a cyberman or four I'm done with the bendy brigade so good luck with pigs in space and if you see Kermit and Fozzy tell em I said hi!

The 7 packs are only £4.98 in Tesco.
