5.0 out of 5 stars out of this world !!!, 30 Sep 2006
By bad wolf "Bad Wolf" (Somerset, England) - See all my reviews
The first thing that you notice about this item is the size,It's huge.It was quite hard to put it together and it was a little bit pricey but it was worth it in the end.i was using it for hours pressing all the buttons and watching the column wizz up and down.I especially like the flip up console pannel (as seen in the boom town and parting of the ways episode.)Overall i think this is a great item and well worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite well made and fun, although it's very large & quite expensive, 13 Dec 2006
By Keith Joseph (West Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Like most Dr Who kit this toy is a bit expensive (we paid the full price the month it came out). It is however quite large and has a reasonable amount of play value. No figures are supplied with it though. My daughter (12) wanted one after falling in love with Rose's role in Dr Who. She has a 5 inch Rose, K9 and Dr Who (who always loses his sonic screwdriver), but no monsters. My son Alec (10) has the required 5 inch naughty aliens - look out for the Doomsday set with a Dr Who, Dalek and Cyberman. As mentioned by others this TARDIS playset is very fiddly to set up (and even more difficult to extract from it's wired in box). I have scanned the cardboard floor panels and 'sides' so that new ones can be fabricated, but otherwise the plastic parts are reasonably strong. The pop-on thin cardboard side panels tear easiest, the floor ones are tougher and sit inside plastic frames - shame they aren't all plastic.

We dismantle the TARDIS and put it packed flat into a storage box when not in use (its assembled size is over 60cm arced). I can't say my daughter has used it much - but she loves Dr Who so much that just possessing it gives her a warm glow. Overall it wasn't bad value, and the Tardis (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) green lit control column moving up and down to the TARDIS de-materialisation noise (piano strings being scrapped with metal) adds a bit of class - it's not very accurate sound-wise though and I'm pushed to notice all 12 sound/light combinations. This toy model is a bit better built than the 1990's DAPOL old-style Tardis playset versions some will remember, although being British designed the doors keep falling off just the same (note that those old DAPOL Daleks fit this model well if you have some about). There's also a few extra's like a seat and coat stand and the odd button and flap that does stuff. The four supplied AA batteries last quite well. So good fun for the kids, but better suited to those over 7 or 8 rather than 5+ (and being assembled by an adult) due to its frailty.

3.0 out of 5 stars A great idea poorly executed, 3 Jul 2007
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
For most young, fanatical fans of Doctor Who, this object must surely be on their wish list. The six buttons, twelve sounds and the moving time rotor (the rods in the middle of the console) was certainly enough for me to go and buy one.

The problems begin as soon as you remove it from the large cardboard Amazon box. The packaging for the Playset has been designed with the "Try Me" function in mind. This is probably a nice thing for the kids looking in awe at it on the shelf of a toy shop, but makes it a regal pain to get out of the box. As you carefully open one side of the outer box and slide the inner box out, the sheer terror of sellotape and nylon ties greets you.

When you do finally extract the parts from the box, the assembly process is quite simple as long as you read the instructions carefully. Certainly I would recommend this process be done by a patient parent rather than a young child.

Whilst assembling it, it is very important to note that, unlike the fictional TARDIS itself, this is a truly rickety object. As others have commented, what this toy really needs is not a Doctor, as Harold Saxon announced, but a base. Unfortunately this toy can't be moved intact without making your own tray for it to stand on and, even worse, you can't replace the batteries without taking the whole thing to bits either.

If assembled and displayed in one place relatively untouched, this toy is wonderful. If you intend to buy it for a child to play with, you will quickly find that it is a pain. A great idea poorly executed.
