I don't know about that. Some of us...okay...me...are thinking about just cutting back to Doctor Who and Dark Shadows branded titles. So much of what I buy is falling through the cracks as far as not getting listened to. I’ve done the same. Cutting down to just the Main Range, ongoing Eighth Doctor stuff & Time War stuff, with extra treats like this thrown in occasionally. Dropped Torchwood, BF Originals, Short Trips, UNIT, Avengers & other stuff - I was buying the audios but not the time to listen to them.

Yes it happens easily having a huge backlog...discussed it before we can buy for FOMO but never get to actually enjoy what we have already.sometimes it pays just to put the brakes on on purchasing.Even if the prices hike you can always pick up a bargain on amazon later.I have now caught up and have now been enjoying again at a less guilty pace

Just waiting for the app to list the set at its full file size so I can download it. They’re always 380KB to start off with and won’t download. Two parts of Warlocks Cross left and then straight to this!
Are there any individual download only covers?

I'm going to let these skip the queue in my backlog I think and jump in tonight. I hope they feel like the VNAs. The only way we'll know for sure is if some posters think something in it is completely inappropriate for DW and there's some random swearing.

Are there any individual download only covers? I'm afraid not, just the box cover artwork (and the period appropriate alternative cover, of course).

Just not with the stories as released. That's slightly disappointing. How things have reversed - in the early days of Big Finish boxsets (e.g. Lost Stories, Fifth Doctor Box Set, etc.) each disc got its own cover but it seems these days it's just one cover for the whole set regardless of how many stories. On a positive note I'm really looking forward to hearing these.

Downloading right now. Not sure if I will start on it today, because today also book 7 of the Peter Grant series (by Ben Aaronovich) came out (YAY!!) and I have been waiting on the edge of my seat for that one. I have a feeling that Peter Grant will win here I am afraid...

The Trial of a Time MachineI'm not going to pretend I got all the science (I feel I'm in Chris's boat here), but that was a fantastic story! I've only read two of the VNA's, but this definitely had more of that sort of feel to it. There are some really great concepts in this, and I'm keen to hear the rest of the set. Have to say though, as a fan of music, the butchering of the theme tune for this release is dreadful... I look forward to an eventual re-listen to Damaged Goods to hear it in full again. (Come to think of it, I may actually re-edit these myself and put the full theme back in )

Listened to the first one. Less VNA, more “if sylv was the Doctor in 2005 when New Who began”
Still aces though

2 nice Sci-Fi Romps
2 great Gothic Horrors
Nice job all round
EDIT
Interestingly the Interviews call this a 20 years of DW at BF Commission/ Release so if your collecting them specifically

When your biggest complaint is that there aren't individual story covers, you know it's something special. That said, why isn't the Gallifrey: Time War format the norm with these jewel case with slipcover releases? Especially with the fact this is essentially the kick-off to the 20th Anniversary of Who at Big Finish.
