February 2025
The website has been completely refreshed with some new listings, replacing stock that sold at Comic Cons and online last year.
New listings include:
- Doctor Who - The Android Invasion (1995) and Invasion of the Dinosaurs SEALED VHS tapes (2003)
- Doctor Who - Davros Collection VHS Boxset - SEALED tapes (2001)
- Doctor Who - The Complete First Series DVD 'TARDIS' Boxset (2005)
- Star Wars - The Original Trilogy Special Edition VHS Boxset (1997)
We also currently have over 80 active eBay.co.uk listings (including the above, but they will be cheaper if purchased direct from the website as eBay now adds buyer protection fees). Our eBay listed stock is moving fast, so be sure to check out it now here: richies_scifi_collectables on eBay.
Event news - due to a hectic schedule at home at the moment, our next UK Comic Con appearance will be later in the year. Watch this space for the latest announcements.
November 2024
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who visited our stand at Brentwood Comic-Con and supported us on Sunday 10th November! 🙌 We had the pleasure of meeting so many passionate sci-fi fans. From seasoned collectors hunting for rare finds to young enthusiasts starting their first collection, each conversation was a reminder of why we do what we do. Hearing about your favorite moments from Doctor Who and Star Wars was a highlight in itself
You never forget your first Dalek customer! Seeing one of Doctor Who's iconic foes glide up to our stand was a surreal and fantastic moment. It was a perfect reminder of why we love sci-fi – it brings characters to life in the most unexpected ways.
Once again, our exclusive pens were a big hit! It was so rewarding to see smiles as we handed out this small token of appreciation to everyone who supported our stand.
We’re already thinking about the exciting events we’ll be part of next year. With new collectables and surprises in the works, we can’t wait to share more with you in 2025. To everyone who visited our stand in 2024 – thank you! Your support means the galaxy to us, and we can’t wait to see you at future conventions. See you soon, and may the Force (and the TARDIS!) be with you!
October 2024
On Saturday 28th September 2024, we debuted our stand selling Doctor Who and Star Wars merchandise at Wigan Comic Con! It was a really well organised and attended event with some amazing guest stars, retro-gaming, photo opportunities and live music. It was such a fun day meeting so many passionate fans in person - thank you so much if you dropped by or picked something up from us. We'll be sure to be back next year!💯✔️
The icing on the cake for me personally was that I finally got to meet The Fifth Doctor Who Peter Davison and his companion Janet Fielding (Tegan Jovanka)🤩 Oh, and now they each have one of our collectable pens! 🖊
September 2024
On Saturday 14th September, we were lucky enough to attend the evening performance of the first ever official Doctor Who Live Audio Adventure from Big Finish Productions at Cadogan Hall in London. 'The Stuff of Legend' starred Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, India Fisher as companion Charley and Alex Macqueen as The Master. It was performed with music, sound effects and live Dalek voices from Nick Briggs! It was directed by Barnaby Edwards, himself a lead Dalek Operator on the TV show.
It was a brilliant night, the whole cast were fantastic and the story is an absolute cracker. The sold out shows were recorded for future release but a studio-recorded version is available now on CD and Download. Here's hoping they do more live shows like this.
August 2024
It's now just under a month to go until Wigan Comic-Con! The August Bank Holiday was spent prepping and pricing inventory and then seeing if it will fit in the car. Hopefully with enough room left over for the Collectables Crew (if they travel light)! So make sure you come along as for one day only you'll be able to check out our wide range of rare toys, books, comics, magazines, DVDs/Videos, CDs and pick up a bargain and maybe a freebie (if you follow us on Insta/YouTube or drop us a follow on the day).
We're super-excited with the special guest announcements including Peter Davison and Janet Fielding (The Fifth Doctor and Tegan) from Classic Who. We're massive fans of the Davison Years (1982-84) and The Power of the Doctor Special (2022) where they both returned in spectacular fashion! So, we'll definitely be dusting off our cricketing whites, designer celery and air-hostess uniforms!
Certain members of the Crew (those under 18) are more excited by the appearance of Hacker T. Dog, the furry CBBC star (plus his handler Phil Fletcher). Well, Wigan is his home town after all!
