So, the new Macra Terror animation is only out in the UK, yes?  Damn region coding.

The other two blu-rays in this series were region free, so I guess this will be too. Just a guess though. Actually, I think all the Doctor Who sets are region-free, at least the more recent ones.

Then it becomes a question of 60Hz/50Hz compatibility (though I'd assume as it's animation they'd just go 24p so they can say 1080p, as 25p isn't allowed under the Blu-Ray spec, in which case it's a non-issue).

Amazon says it is region-coded, I'd like to make sure.  I guess I can wait a few days.

I want to see these ideas and this cast.  But it'll never happen.

^ Sylvester McCoy and Colin Baker? I love McCoy as the "Professor" but Colin Baker should probably be in last place. Not that I don't like him too but somebody has to be last :D.

I haven't watched enough of them to properly assess them, and the clips I've seen haven't made me very eager to, unfortunately.

McCoy can be really good like in this great little scene from the serial where he travels back to the 60s to stop the Daleks (and yes that's Jeffrey from the Fresh Prince):

His run does look very promising, especially near the end.  Why is it that each Doctor's first season tends to be their worst?  When they start, I can't wait for them to leave.  By the time they move on, I want another year of them.  Happened with Capaldi, Troughton, Tennant, and McCoy, far as I can tell.

As good as it was, I decided to sell my Doctor Who Season 12 Limited Edition Blu-Ray set on eBay. I paid £39.99 for it in July last year and I sold it for...


£350 (about $450)

Some hardcore Doctor Who fans out there for sure! Why didn't I buy 10 copies?


I shall be keeping an eye on the resale value of the Season 18 & 19 sets (they haven't gone out of print yet though).

I have no idea why that set is OOP already.  The BBC screwed that up.  None of the others will fetch prices like that, because they've made more of them since realizing just how huge the demand for them are.
