Classic Dr Who bargains

This thread is now the home of all classic DW (ie. doctors 1-8) bargains. It has several regular contributors who can usually answer DW DVD related questions.

Below are the current and planned re-releases of classic series (dates listed are original dates).

re-released as singles
Remembrance of The Daleks SE - 26 Feb 2001
The Five Doctors SE - 1 Nov 1999
Vengeance on Varos - 15 Oct 2001 (re-release planned for 2012)

re-released in boxsets
Spearhead From Space - 29 Jan 2001 (in Mannequin Mania boxset)
Remembrance of The Daleks SE - 26 Feb 2001 (in Davros boxset)

revisitations 1
The Caves Of Androzani - 18 Jun 2001
The Talons Of Weng-Chiang - 28 April 2003
Doctor Who - The Movie - 13 Aug 2001

revisitations 2
seeds of death - 17 Feb 2003
carnival of monsters - 15 July 2002

revisitations 3
The Tomb of the Cybermen - 14 Jan 2002
The Three Doctors - 24 Nov 2003
The Robots of Death - 13 Nov 2000

In all cases the newer release is better, the old ones are discontinued and retailers are asking a lot for them, but just buy the newer releases.

Been looking for the releases from Image of the Fendahl onwards to come down to the £6.99 mark but they seem to be taking longer than usual.

Me too. Really want Image of The Fendahl and The Deadly Assassin - which is possibly in my opinion one of the most important Doctor Who episodes ever. Its not my favourite episode - but would be in my top 10 definitely. The nightmare mindscape is really very well done and quite disturbing even now. Philip Hinchcliffe is a genius. I can only hope Steven Moffat follows a similar path.

I managed to get Bred for War for £6 ish the other day, new and sealed off a Playtrader at Play. There seems to be similar there now. Very pleased - 4 stories for £6 is a bargain. And I even like The 2 Doctors.

Yes, blah are fine; they use generally pretty sturdy packaging (tough corrugated packs for single case DVDs; or thin-ish cardboard boxes for box sets) and have a decent FREEPOST returns service if you need to use it (better than play.com on both counts IMO)!

They're the same company as 101cd.com, base.com and dvd.co.uk these days.

As sarah said blah are ok, used them quite a bit, they don't appear on find-dvd.co.uk so always worth the odd check of their prices for offers.

re: Classic Dr Who bargains

Received Image of the Fendahl today from Play at £5.99. Very pleased. Absolute bargain for a top story. Just finished watching The Sea Devils for the first time which I enjoyed so now I have Fendahl, Deadly Assassin (yet to arrive), The Two Doctors and The Time Warrior lined up to watch. Never seen The Time Warrior either as I grew up with the Tom Baker era. But still really liking some of these Pertwee stories (althoigh I Found Inferno a bit heavy going though despite all the wonderful reviews it gets). But for me a Tom Baker with Sarah or Leela story is as good as it ever got (until some of the better David Tennant ones at least).
