Nice design!


Ordered on Zavvi, but I'll cancel that if HMV stock it.

 

[Dazzler17]

Ordered, don't usually collect Dr Who stuff but this series was my favourite so it's a no brainer.

 

[Strangerbyday]

Ordered, have to keep the collection going!

Same here! This series was Moffat's best by far, and still my favourite series of "New Who". The Eleventh Hour was such a fun debut for Matt Smith, and Karen Gillan was a top companion!

HMV want 34.99 lol

Me too! Didn’t enjoy further series as much after this one.

Wow! Zoom £10 cheaper than that. And another £2.50 off with the SIGNUP10 code, making it £22:49...

Seems to be a new Doctor Who steelbook every month now, must be rushing to get them all out before they start releasing it in 4K.

 

[Lollard2002]

I can see the classic show getting the steelbook treatment in a few years once the special editions are gone...

Solid freaking season. Matt Smith’s only home run.

There's nothing the BBC loves more than making money from re-releasing Doctor Who, so I assume this is a given.

 

[virkia]

Not my generation but did buy the jumbo steelbook of this series released in 2010 ...


... but this Sophie Cowdrey Van Gogh inspired background ...

... definitely looks more attractive.

She also responsible for SERIES FOUR:-

Noooooo! If they do, then I MUST resist. Or is resistance futile?

Indeed. And very appropriate too, as this season contains the excellent episode Vincent and the Doctor

AFAIK, it is still being recorded in 1080p rather than 4K. But then the first four series of Nu-Who (and The Next Doctor) were filmed in SD but have been upscaled for blu-ray release, as they are now doing for the original series. So upscaling Nu-Who at least to 4K is not beyond the realms of possibility....

HMV price is the same as Amazon £29.99

If either Amazon or HMV drop price they will price match each other if both retailers still have available to pre order when price drops

 

[Doctor]

Received today from Zoom.

 

[Lollard2002]

Mine hasn't even dispatched yet. I ordered from amazon

 

[Doctor]

I always seem to get stuff from Zoom the Saturday before release (or even, occasionally, the Friday). As I do with a lot of Zavvi releases as well, although their delivery times are a bit more hit and miss. As a Prime subscriber, Amazon never seem to dispatch until the day before release so I (nearly always) receive on the Monday.
