I remember hearing some time ago that at one time it was possible to purchase small toy Dallecks in Great Britian. From what I heard, the toys were driven by a battery and would move around saying "Exterminate! Exterminate!" in typical Dalleck fashion. I have never seen, or heard anything more about these toys here in the States, but with the ever growing number of Dr. Who fans around, I would think there might be a market for these little critters. (Sure beats ____ out of a Smurf!!) I therefore address this to those net readers in the UK: If it is possible to still get these toys, could you perhaps provide some information on them. Price, and an address to contact are the first things necessary. If you know of anything else useful in getting them, please include that. Thanks very much, Bruce Peters AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville, Ill. ...!ihnp4!ihldt!bnp P.S. Maybe these are in fact baby REAL Dallecks and we are falling for a sinister Davrosian plan for universal control??!!

I saw such Dalek toys at the 20 year Celebration Convention in Chicago in Nov. It turns out there are distributors for unimaginably many Dr. Who -related things (including much garbage). The ones at the conference were all US-based. There were 2 sizes of dalek toys: the ones that "talked" were about 6-8 inches high, and cost the rape-away price of $50.00 . Here is an address to get on a mailing list advertising Dr. Who things like this, although I can't remember if these people had the Dalek toys: Dr Who Mailing List FANTASY INC. 122 Vandalia St Collinsville IL 62234 Sally Handy-Zarnstorff hlexa!shz
