supergman Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Oh, I know. I used Tru rewards with one, full amazon credit with 2 others. I play the game, too. Just wonder when I look at some ebay listings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC have a bit of history with the merchandising on Doctor Who products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_merchandise And right now. http://www.bbcshop.com/doctor-who/icat/drwho Doctor Who Tardis Earrings anyone, perhaps a Doctor Who: The Colouring Book, or maybe you fancy the Doctor Who: Teapot Dalek Orange Incidentally, Doctor Who BBC Worldwide's biggest-selling TV show internationally. http://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/jul/12/doctor-who-bbc-worldwide Hardly conclusive, I know. But just to give you an indication of the scale of Doctor Who Fans out there. Doctor Who launched in the UK in 1963 ran until 1989 and was re-launched in 2005. Viewing peaked in the late 70s at around 10 million (UK population being 56million at the time). When it came back in 2005 viewing figures initially averaged around 8 million. Original fans existed without the show on air for 15 years. I’m not a fan, but growing up with it in the 70’s/80’s I watch the show out of nostalgia. We pretty much have 3 generations of fans of the show now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try typing Doctor Who into the podcasts section of ITunes and see how many results you get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 In case some here were still having doubts: Is the official Doctor Who Lego set worth buying? RadioTimes.com finds that Doctor Who's first ever Lego set is "surprisingly difficult to build" but "immensely rewarding" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) 6 minutes ago, 10230 said: If you do that you can get the price of any set to $0. But these $0 depend on earlier $. So? Who cares if it depends on earlier money. If I don't count it against my previous purchase it counts for what I spend it on. If I get a discount on a set it counts. Is this just another assumption that I counted the read points against the item I earned them on?

For the record, I didn't make the comparison from a show perspective, just from a set perspective. Niche audiences that may or may not sell so well. I haven't watched either.

stephen_rockefeller Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 8 seasons > 3 seasons I know its a tough pill for trekkies to swallow but its just wasn't that good of a show.

Didn't Full House finish over 20 years ago? I really like the Big Bang Theory and I have bought the set to build. But in season 1 it was new and quirky and the characters were much nerdy. Now it's become more like a generic US sitcom. A good one, but still generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why the largest toy company in the world doesnt care to have the license. I know you're just being difficult but Full House - 1 show... Star Trek - 4 shows, how many movies, and how many spin offs? I know Star Trek never had the Olsen twins, but it did have Captain Picard and he has many more great meme moments! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad4815 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Not sure if it's been discussed, but what is everyone's TRU pricing this at? I just picked up one from mine and the shelf price said $59.99 but it rings up $64.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
