If you think any 5" figures are becoming scarce or difficult to find, or indeed are discontinued, please post here.

To start the ball rolling: I no longer see the Cyberman WITHOUT gun on the shelves anywhere. Are these discontinued?

Judoon Troopers: can't find these anywhere either, although the Judoon Captain seems plentiful. Perhaps rare because people (like me) are army building?

Captain Jack and Empty Child: I understand that the carded version is now discontinued?

Are we talking just the figures themselves or the actual releases? If the latter, there's the Sycorax Leader on UK card and Slitheen on card without Space Pig.

If the former:

Either! Thanks for that info.

Addendum: the Judoon Trooper is NOT in the current wave of Series 3 figures (although the Judoon Captain is), which explains why it's generally absent from the shelves...

Woolies and Sainsbury's have them round here.

If Zygons were green, they'd be gherkins.

I'm sure I've seen Judoon Troopers and Jack and EC's in TRU in Sheffield, but to be honest I don't really look anymore.

Rose and rusty K-9. I've not seen Rose and non-rusty K-9 around lately either come to think of it

I got a letter from Forbidden Planet saying they'd sold out of this figure and wouldn't be getting any more... though they'd already charged me postage for it as I'd ordered it with another figure and they charged me the shipping costs for two figures although they only actually sent one.
I then received an email from CO saying the figure was a prototype and was never produced... so what FP sold out of, heaven only knows???
Still waiting for them to refund the postage charges... all I can say is I certainly won't be ordering from them again!

I think we can safely say that both the blue and black Clockwork Robots are now discontinued...although there is of course the rather splendid purplish version in the new wave of figures.

WhoNA is a good place to get discontinued figures, never had a problem with shipping them from the US, nice people to deal with as well.
