I haven't got anything myself, but I'm sure Adam will discover this thread and list everything he owns On Saturday he bought a remote control Dalek from the ABC shop - I want one now!!! It's cute, believe it or not Well I think so It has all these different little sayings, and when it moves around it's top bit moves from side to side, like it's "looking around"... I love it, I think it's adorable... Yeah go me, thinking a Dalek is cute, of all things If you could see it for yourselves you might understand what I mean

No - it does sound cute! I always had a soft spot for the daleks....and K9. I always wanted a dog like K9.

Me too! I think I still have a poster of Tom Baker and K9 tucked away somewhere! Did I dream it, or is K9 returning to Dr Who?

I hope so! I wonder if they'll 'modernise' him though?
...seriously, who wouldn't want a dog that can shoot a laser beam out of it's nose and calculate complex mathamatical formulae?

Word is K9 will make a return... I think he looks about the same, I'm not sure.
I don't know how big the Dalek is exactly, it's about... ooooh... I guess if you were standing next to it it'd be about halfway towards your knee? LOL...

Doctor Who merchandise hey? OK, I have too much, so there is no point listing everything I own (it ranges from paperbacks, to VHS, from DVDs to toys, from books to posters etc)
Yes, I bought a talking remote controlled Dalek. Unfortunately, he is from the new series called "Rose Tyler - Time Traveller", but a Dalek is a Dalek. He stands roughly 12" and shouts those familier catchphrases. I would have prefered a Classic Original real Doctor Who Dalek, but this is the cheapest on the mrket here is Aust.
More Rose Tyler - Time Traveller toys are coming soon. Look out for Tennent style Doc action figures and Roses as well.
K9, unfortunately like all good Doctor Who classics has changed. He is now a former shadow of the once great metal mutt. He is rusted and badly beaten up, so friends, don't expect RTD to suddenly make it alright after the launch of last years "Rose Tyler - Time Traveler".
I have a book in my collection called the "Doctor Who Pattern Book" that shows you how to make a cuddly life size K9 (amongst other gems like the Doctor's scarf, Adric's tunic, Tegan's boob-tube and other rubbish 1980s fashions)

Oh, I saw a remote dalek today....but a different one! These were classic style daleks from the original movie, and they had them in blue, black and red (Mr Toys Toyworld, $80)!
...actually, I went in there for something else completely and got sidetracked by all the merch - I've never seen such a huge range! They had Serenity figurines, but no Dr Tam (I wanted one to keep my Xander company)...heaps of Buffy stuff - was tempted to get a 12-inch Xander....just so I could say,'My Xander is 12 inches!'.
Sails, did you know there are Family Guy figures?
So much stuff...you could spend a fortune in there!

Lord Shittington! I remember that f*cked up show! Boogie Boogie!, yes, the product of that warped Monkee Mickey Dolez (sp). I remember an episode when he (Mickey) grew to enormous size!
Irene Handl was great wasn't she? Form Black and White days to the Italian Job "Yes, my brother now lives in a home". I've got a 16mm film with her in it as an old duck tryinmg to cross the street with Alfie Bass - pure forgotten comedy.
