Cyberman Helmets without rip-off prices

Following the success of Dr Who, a new generation of kids are enjoying the new series making Daleks and Cybermen the must-have toys for Christmas.

My kids already have one of the Radio Controlled Daleks and have been looking at the Cybermen voice-changing helmets and it is on their wish list, but it seems like it is the real must-have for everyone and the major retailers have all been sold out for some time.

Recently some profiteering so and sos have been trying to sell them for more than double the retail price and those that know me will know that I don't want to be ripped off.

Anyway, today I found out that Amazon.co.uk has now got new stock of the Doctor Who - Cyberman Voice Changer Helmet at £29.99 if anyone else has been struggling and put off by the prices previously demanded by rip-off merchants.

Next problem.....do I buy one for some sharing or is it so good that they will fight over it.....? need to tread carefully there.....it wouldn't be good to have a war of the Cybermen on Christmas Day.

Update 04 Dec 12:47. Cybermen helmets are sold out at £29.99 - thanks for the heads-up but they have now reverted to their Marketplace Third-Party offers and I don't encourage anyone to spend £69.99. Hope you already got yours.

Unfortunately, I didn't even get one, let alone the two that I wanted to order.

There was some funny stuff going on with Amazon today and I couldn't get my order in before they ran out of their own stock.

There is no way that I am going to pay these silly prices.

Ah well, I hope my post helped someone get the toy at a decent rather than rip-off price.
