I had been losing interest in the series over the last few years and eventually gave up after Clara left. I get the feeling that the BBC are pinning everything on this new series being a success, like branding everything with the new logo, this steelbook etc. The way I see it, this will go one of two ways; be the hit that they expect, or be such a disappointment that the show will be cancelled. I can honestly see it being the latter, as the new showrunner really isn't showrunner material and his writing (of Dr who episodes) is ok at best. Plus the idea of radically changing the format and style of the show...I think he will realise that people like doctor who because of its unique format.Jeez this is early and they are asking for that price...they don't even know if it will be any good.
Second time in the new run I'm not getting a good vibe from this regeneration so I'll be skipping this series...(in before the "you're sexist" comments)

As I have the steel for 9 I don't want to risk missing out on any others.
Very very few people got that steelbook, you were one of the lucky people
I must be one of the lucky ones too, then!Very very few people got that steelbook, you were one of the lucky people
Not gonna bother with this one, I found the last couple of series to be kinda lackluster. I have been enjoy Classic Doctor Who thanks to Twitch.Tvs marathon and would love to see complete series of that in steelbook form (rather than just individual serials)
Was it just a very limited run? I'm still not 100% on the reasons why it's so sought after
ok, i'll bite. pre-ordered. in the hope of a drop of really some distance by the time it comes out.
yes, it's massively over priced, but i didn't get series 9, and have the other steels, hence pre-ordering - not having that happen again. somewhat jealous of @RavenGunner @Doctor! i got a hilarious email from amazon a few weeks back saying that the Series 9 steel was back in stock. and it is! from one seller. at £399.99.
personally, i'm looking forward to this series. Jodie Whitaker is a good actor with an impressive range. Capaldi has been for me one of my favourite Doctors and i've loved his work as the TimeLord. didn't think i would (i've always liked him, but wasn't sure he was right for this), but he really grew into the role.
