It's an error at my bank's end. Dammit.

Hugs for the folks who are having issues. If it's a technical problem, try emailing them. Pre-orders are something companies love since it's good for them financially. Maybe there's a way to work it out.

Wish it was shipping in December so I could better rationalize it as a bday present to myself (lol), but... so excited. *flails*

Are these sold out yet or not?

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I just carted one as a test, so I guess not.

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I just read my priority pre-order notice e-mail, but Where the heck is the 'Add to Cart' button on Big Chief's site? I'm just not seeing it!
Is it sold out already?!

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

Good, good. I won't be able to fix anything until tomorrow, so I guess I'll have to miss out, but I won't give up.

Click on the one you want, and then it's way down at the bottom, blue button.

I just opened up Firefox (Safari didn't show it) and the only blue button(s) I see are linking to the alternate figure [Read More], or logging into an account [Login]. Do I need to make an account first?

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I'm still seeing both figure types on this page. I am logged into my account now, I wasn't when I first clicked though.

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I just checked on Internet Explorer and there are no blue buttons shown either. I suppose I can just pre-order through BBTS and hope for the best. But thanks!

To access the Pre-order you need to have received the Priority Notification email with the new link that was sent out to those who registered earlier today.

You will not be able to see the PRE-ORDER buttons, or be able to place an order unless you access via the email link.

If you would like to pre-order email us at [email protected] and we will send out the email to you with the link.

Thanks

We have just activated the PayPal option alongside the credit card option.

We had originally decided not to offer payment via PayPal as many customers do not like being taken out of the main website to make payments.

However, a number of forum users prefer PayPal.

Therefore we have now activated the feature so you may pay via PayPal if you wish.

Thanks

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

Can't wait for the Angel nor 10th Doctor! They can't be revealed soon enough.

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

Thanks bigchiefstudios! Overall I think you've handled this really well and you're off to a great start with this figure. Very much looking forward to getting mine!!

Thank you so much Big Chief! , I was seriously worried there that I wouldn't be able to order!

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I've been poised all day, waiting to order this figure, but I wont be.

I really don't see this figure matching it's price tag at all. To me it looks the same standard of figure you'd have gotten from sideshow 10yrs ago or a very good custom.
I have issue with how much companies now think they can charge for a figure anyway, its obscene. This is at the same price level for a Hot toys figure but far from the quality. If I'm gonna pay this much, I'm sorry but I want & expect better now. They've done a good job, just not a great one.

I'm a big Who fan & am interested in where they go with this line. I might consider a 4th doctor somewhere down the line if it survives that far.

I might have to eat my words but that's fine. As for now guys there's one less person in the line.

Couldn't have said it better myself. For that price, I expect HT Christopher Reeve Supes quality. it does look nice, but it looks sub $100 Sideshow nice.

You telling me it looks as bad as this?

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I feel the paint app is the figures weakest point, good but it does look caked on like someone here said, other then that the figure looks top notch! besides at the end of the day it's a frikkin 1/6 figure of the Dr! Before big chief showed up there were only crappy Dr who toys nothing moderately high end like this.

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

No the early Sidehow figures were great on the whole. The won an award for their Frankenstein 1/6 karloff & deservedly so. But it retailed for a bout a quarter of what there asking for this. Times have moved on, fair enough if someone is prepared to buy this at this price, then good for them. I just think the game has changed now and $200 dollar figure should show that through and through.
But we should NOT be paying these prices for what is an action figure, (although I now see some as mass produced art).
Prices like this should not be the 'norm' now.
