Presumably this is new to the shelves, I saw it and loved it at first glance, it consists of three wallets of felt tip markers, pencil crayons and a standard set of 2 pencils a sharpener and rulers. Now there is a problem or two... or three.... This retails at £9.99 and is a pretty steep price for what you get frankly - the felt tip markers are cheap and unremarkable, the ruler & sharpener are equally inexpensive with simple Doctor Who labels stuck on for the illusion of quality and the outer stitching around the case is very poor... substandard in fact. It is nice and compact and worth getting but my advice is to look for it cheaper than i got it; the actual production quality is not reflected in that high price tag is my honest assesment.

I just checked and I definitely payed a Tenner.. Woolies are a bit too slow on the DW stuff at the minute and indeed haven't had a stock of the 6" figures in months, they're not restocking DW for some reason. Fortunately there is an Independent toyshop elsewhere that is very reliable for WHO and i picked up a Mickey Smith & a Juddoon, nice but are thre variations on the juddoon - mine doesn't have the detachable helmet, what gives?

There are two types of 6" Judoon. A Trooper with a helmet on which doesn't come off. And a Commander with the helmet off and which doesn't come with one.

emmm.......bit of a rant hear, Im afraid! finally got round to using the pencils of this set today to do a fanArt piece for DeviantArt!...and I must say the coloured pencils are very poor quality!! they kept breaking, so I had to keep sharpening them, and the colours were very pale, pastle shades so my sketch has an overall washed out look!! I undersatnd these are not artist grade pencils, but the quality could have certainly been better... Next I will be testing the felt tips with some cartooning! Vix
