First of all, let me say this.
I am a Twitter Junkie.
Like MSN and Facebook, I am on Twitter all the time. I don't post as much as some, but if I am awake, you can bet that I am on it. I like it. It's fun and it allows me to stal...follow the celebrites I find worthy of my attention, as well as my friends and loved ones.
That said, I also follow Toy Companies, specifically the ones related to Doctor Who.
If anyone is surprised by that, they can leave now.
Now, as my loyal readers will know, I like to rant about the figure releases here, the good and the bad. However, I also once ranted about how Underground Toys made an absolutely HUGE deal on Twitter about a magical, brilliant, fantastic cancer curing figure*. When the announcement came, it was a re-release.
We were all disappointed, but hey. Life moves on.
THE BASTARDS DID IT AGAIN!
Today, I went onto Twitter as I normally do, and found that Underground Toys were making a Special Announcement (Their words, not mine) on this VERY day. Sufficed to say, I rushed to my friendly e-neighbourhood toy forum (link provided) to share this wonderful news. A few people commented their hopes (which for some reason included Adric) and there was a slight buzz about the place that usually occurs when such an annoucement is imminent.
The annoucement... ONE whole shop (just one shop- not even the entire chain) would be selling the Seeds of Doom Set (already announced) a few days early. I agree, we were foolish to buy into the hype, but we like new figure announcements, especially when they're sets with new figures, not re-releases and certainly not that one store out of hundreds is getting a set slightly earlier than the rest.
Thank you, good night
*Neither Underground Toys nor Character Options nor the BBC ever claimed that The Time Monster set could cure Cancer. Any cancer curing properties this Set may or may not have are entirely coincedental.
