I have the following omissions in my CC collection, numbered by series, volume number and doctor (and yes I keep a spreadsheet of the gaps in my collection, per range, that's sad isn't it?):
Frostfire C1.1 1
The Blue Tooth C1.3 3
The Beautiful People C1.4 4
Helicon Prime C2.2 2
The Catalyst C2.4 4
Here there be Monsters C3.1 1
The Great Space Elevator C3.2 2
The Darkening Eye C3.6 5
Magicians Oath C3.10 3
The Stealers from Saiph C3.12 4
Tales from the Vault C6.1 8
The Memory Cheats C6.3 2
The Many Deaths of Jo Grant C6.4 3
The First Wave C6.5 1
Beyond the Ultimate Adventure C6.6 6
Binary C6.9 3
The Rings of Ikiria C6.12 3
The Uncertainty Principle C7.2 2
Project: Nirvana C7.3 7
The Child C7.6 4
House of Cards C7.8 2
The Apocalypse Mirror C7.11 2
The Alchemists C8.2 1
Upstairs C8.3 1
Starborn C8.9 1
The War to End All Wars C8.10 1
Second Chances C8.12 2
The First Doctor Volume 1 C9.0 1
The Second Doctor Volume 1 C10 2
The First Doctor Volume 2 C11 1
Does anyone have any particular recommendations as to which are worthy of inclusion to the shopping basket? The days of spending £100 a time on sales are off limits at present, but £30 won't hurt too much, hopefully. I am tempted by the First & Second Doctor Volume 1 collections - are there better choices here?

I am tempted by the First & Second Doctor Volume 1 collections - are there better choices here? The First Doctor Volume 2 has a story called Across The Darkened City that is just FANTASTIC. If it was released during the standalone era for the CCs it would be much more popular but buried in a boxset it doesn't quite get the same credit - it's a terrific Steven/Dalek story. Very high recommendation. |

The boxsets are consistently quite good, but The First Doctor Vol 1 is probably the highlight for the two Steven stories (which are the conclusion to a trilogy started in The War to End All Wars).

Well that seems to settle the choices for myself - plus the War to End all Wars taking it to £30. Thanks for the advice, both respondents. Peter Purves is my favourite narrator/performer, missing adventure BBC soundtracks included, of these format releases, with Frazer Hines a close second. Simple option.

Doing the Maths, I realised its cheaper to get the whole Season 3 bundle rather than get the 11 I need singularly as I already have The Mahogany Murderers

I deleted from your list by mistake. |

Beyond the Ultimate Adventure is only one for completionists. Fear of the Daleks is the Listeners for this month, so it's $2.99 on download anyway. |

Well... I just spent more money than I probably should have, and got 20 CCs, meaning I'm now only missing 10! Many happy hours of listening ahead of me!  |

Well after a week of procrastinating i decided to go for the first and second doctor volume 1 bundle. £25 for 8 storys seemed a better deal than 4 for £23 or 5 for £27.50 (or 8 for £45.50 for a better comparison. I will go back eventually but for now ill try and stay up to date with the cc and see where that gets me
Also fun fact, in my 3 and a half years of buying big finish, this is my first bundle. I dunno if thats an achievement in saving money or a sign that im really far behind but ill say it anyway.

Because I want to take advantage of the pre-order for the Time War Volume 2 I only picked up 2 CCs in the sale as well as Time War 1. I got Fear I’d the Daleks because it’s the listeners title and The Suffering on the recommendation of YouTuber Lord Slarr

In the end I decided to not get anything from this sale, even though I really wanted to. But after all the other sales and getting a new laptop and stuff. Felt I had to leave it.
