In UK this apparently has been a complete fail. Kids don't want it as cannot relate to it, some AFOL'S love it as they grew up watching it, but it is not a cult classic. With poor sales and the new batcave / arkham Asylum this might go by December / January. If you don't like this set, you should automatically be added to the list of candidates for the first MARS colony. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryZola Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Either the new site is playing up for me personally (as it still says available) or you're getting different info on mainland Europe? I wouldn't buy any at currently available prices anyway though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one should Europeans care about? Batman will have a new model year batcave along next week but Livvy will only ever have one limo and private jet.

Exo Suit wasn't a licensed theme so not many could really relate to it, Dr Who on the other hand... If you turn the clock back a few years, the Delorean appeared to fill shelves everywhere and was also regularly discounted and it was a butt ugly car! But, people seem to love it more now than when it was available for £23.33. I think there's still as many Dr Who fans as there is BTTF fans so I have faith in this set. I feel the same with Ecto1 as the original movie is often the one that people remember. Hollywood-running-out-of-ideas-remakes just aren't for me! Don't forget that you are from the UK, where Dr Who is most popular. I dunno if the yanks are into it so much, and most won't know who Peter Capaldi is. BTTF on the other hand, is popular everywhere so it's hard to make a comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell (Oh... I'll use a TARDIS) Update... I just sold my first Doctor Who for £79.99 back on 3rd June 2017 and have 213 watchers!

It’s in the papers. It’s a huge, popular show." I've asked my coworkers today regarding Dr. Who, out of 23 ppl only 2 knew what i was talking about. Dr. Who is not popular in US. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of Dr. Who and don't know anyone who watches it (adults in 30s and 40s). What channel is it on? BBC? I like the set, but I will not be purchasing any.

Fenix_2k1 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The Dr Who set does have one massive upside I've just discovered. Dr Who is banned in China, which means no copies from our favourite counterfeiters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen them stick to the really popular themes, like Star Wars, Ninjago, Advanced Modulars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
