I had never seen these before and definitely never seen them locally.  I don't reckon they are worth bidding on in an auction.  They'd be interesting to see on the shelf, however...

yeah they are hard to find over here in the US. ive gotten a couple of packs and ordered some singles on line. I havent played the game and dont have the interest in it. however the daleks look nice at at some point ill make some stat cards up to add them into a space rpg game or star wars skirmish game. The humans look a little flimsy and thin and the bases are talled than WOTC ones

Dang - was beaten to the post.

~

I have a a couple of dozen of them now. The daleks are great!
I'll post pics tonight.

Sizewise, they match okay with D&D. Hexlike base and raised a bit higher, but so few D&D minis are constrained by scale it doesn't matter a lot.

Semi - Random packaging which seems strange, if you buy a box of 3, you see the uncommon in clear plastic. If you buy box of seven, you see three minis in clear plastic. The ones with daleks up front where snagged up quickest. Though the last box I got, had a crud piece on top, with the black dalek inside so wasn't real upset.

Four pieces only avaliable with purchase of ship & mini sets.

The game play, is awful. Really really bad.

Like, why even have minis bad.

1) Pick an Figure (eg dalek)
2) Foe picks figure.
2) Pick a combat stat without looking at your mini's stats (on base) eg temporal, fear. There are four to pick with slight varaitions.
3) You use your spindown spinner to generate random number. Add the 1-6 to your picked stat. The foe does the same (and must use same stat eg fear).
4) Highest number wins. Losing piece goes off board or to the victor.
5) Pick next figure to battle.

No movement, no real abilities, and not a lot of fun.

I'm planning on making them Star Wars mini compatible. :D

Some potential good pieces for sci fantasy games.
The were wolf is much better than D&Ds imo.

I may try to ebay for a few of them then.  Is there a rarity system for the minis?  Given how the game works that seems unlikely.

There are commons/uncmmons and rares. Then there are a few only released 'rares' with ship.

Ebay is relativily expensive, as 99% are in pounds.

I'll scan the set list when I pull my finger out to photo them.

It has moviated me to plan a short term Dr Who RPG

I think there may be a fan-brew Doctor Who rpg over on the Eden RPG studios Board.

You 'should' be able to click thumbnail for bigger picture.

Apologies for picture quality - had to use my PDA camera.



The check list.
Note there is always an uncommon visiable in packaging which means easy to cherry pick them ones.

The ship packs all have one mini and one ship.




You get a spinner in each pack, so end up with a tad too many.




Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
Three types of daleks. I only have one of the common types ):


 


The scale if offically bigger than DDM, but most DDM tends to be bigger than scale.


Clock Work robots


A gargoyle looing common.



Cybermen



Slithereens


Your perfect robotic pet


Space apes



Space Pig and company



Better this isnt better shot  -  the werewolf looks great


Martha. Its kinda nice to have so many poses without weapons drawn.

Doctor and Companions
