The “Questions for The Lurker” thread

Ha ha ... well the brief answer to all these is ... we work pretty much 6 months ahead. No Covid dint affect my end of the development but it did affect shipping and the B&M distribution as we’ve seen. We will see less next year ... but not too much less

my purse will be grateful for the first half of that, but the excitable giddy child inside me is glad for the second half

Hey Al!
What’s your favourite non-Who television programme?

Was the general retail Line (series 12 wave) a success and can we expect more of that in future?

Non Who ..... ooh thats tricky ... nah its not!

Classic TV - Well basically its Blakes 7, Blakes 7 and Blakes 7 .... though im not as fond of the final series .. i think they could have got round the Liberator issue in a better way ... the System was a brilliant concept/setup so i like to think that they could have stolen a replacement or 'grown' a new one with Orac having Zens 'personality engrams' stored somewhere .. also i hated 'Slave' - A as a concept it was crap and B as the main reason they all die at the end its also doubly crap! .. Also the BF Audios are EPIC! .. if you liked B7 but thought the production values were a bit ropey check out the audios which are superb!!!!!

Also Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes gets a mention .. 'C'mon Bolly, stop chatting up that nancy boy and get your arse in the car Pronto!!' lol .. nothing like a bit of non PC 70's banter ... lol

I guess currently The Mandalorian is my current Favourite series .. its everything Star wars should be and everything that the 'Sequel Travesty' wasn't ... its just good fun stuff and floats my boat ... i also like-ish ST Discovery but im going off it a little as its beginning to lose its way IMO and falling back into the old Next Gen ways .. i think they are just beginning to forgetting what made it good in the first place so not that impressed so far by series 3 but cant wait for 'Strange new worlds spin off ...

oh and The Crown ... and Stranger Things ...

other than those there's not much id worry about missing out on ...

I’ve got a question, sir!

How come Ace can be released with her accessories- both a backpack, rocket launcher and a rocket... but we struggle to see the release of sonic screwdrivers- particularly in a set (ie 12 and Davros) where the screwdriver is integral to the story?

Will the new Davros in the two pack have the inside of the chair painted black or silver like the original release?

Why did the original Imperial Dalek have a blue eye?

Which part of this was about the 5" R/C internals again?

Question for Mr. Al: What are the most popular figures based on sales? I'd guess it would be either Doctors or Daleks?

[TV8]

Non Who ..... ooh thats tricky ... nah its not!

... Well basically its Blakes 7, Blakes 7 and Blakes 7 ....

Follow up question, happy for your silence to give away the answer: so we can expect then that the Blakes 7 line of action figures will be drawing mostly from the first three series of characters/costumes and we're unlikely to get Tarrant or Soolin first up. ( )

Well in my heart of hearts its Zen with the answer '' BING ... CONFIRMED! .. BONG

Whereas in reality its Orac saying..ER ER ER ER ER ... 'Why do you insist on believing the impossible when logic and all current data quite clearly dictates that such an event will never happen!' ... ...ER ER ER ER ER >>>>
