April 2011 is spring and May 2011 could be considered early summer 2011. That's very flexible definition of early Summer. By that reckoning, August is early Autumn!

Sounds about right where I live... looking outside at the snow in March...

Of course, it could mean that C7 are classing the re-launch not just as the rebranded core set but also some of the much anticipated supplements - Defending the Earth and The Time Traveller's Companion maybe. In which case, the core set could still be on for April (Spring), with the supplements to follow over the next few months (ie into Summer). Fingers crossed!

As to releasing outside the gaming shops, I think you'll find C7 is already doing that. I've certainly seen the Tennant set in non-game stores. I got my core set from Play.com - at a significant discount from the LeisureGames price, I might add. The problem is going to be building momentum for the game again. They've had so long between releases that this is like starting from scratch. With no official website, no official forums... Man, this is going to be an uphill battle. And it'll start all over again when Matt Smith moves on and the style guide from the Beeb changes again. Sorry, getting rather negative on this. I'll be thrilled if they actually hit a release date this time.

Yes it is indeed a shame it has dropped back. I don't know why, but I suspect the bottleneck of having so many products on the go.
I don't see the game has lost any momentum. Forums like this have proved full of conversation, it doesn't matter if this one is official official or not. It is a pain to have to rebrand, but it should mean once its out of the way the other supplements should come pretty thick and fast.
By the way, in case I missed someone else pointing this out, the marvellous Gareth Hanrahan is taking over as line developer. With the amount of experience he has in the industry that can only be a huge benefit to the line.

The July releases announcement on the C7 forum doesn't include any DWAITAS items (nor did the May or June releases announcements). So April is still the latest month that has been stated by C7 for the rebranded core set. But the Spring/Summer mention makes this more vague.

Cubicle 7 have set themselves some really high goals for releases this year. According to this post cubicle7.clicdev.com/f/index.php?trk=cubicle7&showtopic=1861 they've got around a hundred products scheduled to release in 2011. The same post says that Primeval & DWAITAS launch in "Spring/Summer" and Primeval itself is listed in their May releases. So, we're more likely looking at May than April. If they get things right, the new edition will release to match up with the new series "Around Easter". If they get it wrong, then they've missed another series start and there's nothing new there. Fingers crossed! New information (to me, anyway) "Doctor Who returns with The Impossible Astronaut on April 23rd." Thank you Comic Relief!

Has anyone heard any updated news that states [roughly] about when that the 11th Doctor Boxed Set will be released?

The most recent firm date announced (in January) by Cubicle 7 was April, but then they've more recently made this a bit more vague by announcing a Spring/Summer re-launch for DWAiTAS.
I noticed over the weekend that one of this forum's members (can't remember if it's Kaemaril or imajica - sorry guys!) has asked on the C7 forum whether an April release is still on. No reply from C7 as yet.

No reply from C7 as yet. It was me. It's nearly always me I know that (apparently) the BBC license keeps them on a tight rein but this really is ridiculous. The game is (supposedly) going to be released in April, and by March 30th they've not (as far as I've been able to determine) breathed a word of a yay or nay. I reckon that Steven Moffat got the idea for 'The Silence' from C7.

Potentially good news. Neil, one of the C7 guys, has said that as far as he knows it's still on schedule and that he'll try and get us an update. Props to Neil for that

The Cubicle 7 store is showing it as In Stock!
Not quite sure how much I believe this. Can anyone confirm C7 do have it in stock? I don't want to buy anything pre-order.

If you look, they're also showing Defending the Earth and The Time Traveller's Companion as in stock and have been doing so for months. Unfortunately - and rather misleadingly - they seem to do this as soon as they add new items to the store, even if they haven't been released yet! Sadly it doesn't mean anything... though if it turns out they do have it in stock, I'll be over the moon!

I believe it has sadly slipped back from an April release. I have no idea why though, apart from they just have a lot on.
Dom intimated last time I asked about it that while it might not be out for the first part of season 6, it should be out before the second part.
If they are being silent I suspect that is simply to avoid offering another date until they can be sure.
Thats all I know though! :-)
To be fair to C7, they noted on their anniversary posting they've released 100 products in their 2 years. That's nearly 1 a week. so its not as if they are idle. :-)

Assuming part 1 of season 6 is six episodes then, if this news is true, we're likely looking at ... June at the earliest? It's getting harder and harder to put any faith in these guys when it comes to their release schedule, and their ability to communicate with their customers. What percentage of those 100 releases have been on time?

Please remember I'm only posting rumor not fact. I'm certainly not 'the voice of C7' :-)
Do I really have to say again how they are doing everything they can to get these games out on time?
Would you rather they had decided not to go with a Who license as it would put back their other products?
They are a small company with a massive catalogue that they are just about on top of. Most of their products now happily hit their production date, and they keep getting better and better.
I get you want these products, I get that waiting is frustrating, but they want them out there far more than you want to buy them.

Please remember I'm only posting rumor not fact. I'm certainly not 'the voice of C7' :-) Which is why I added the qualifier if true. I'm aware you're not the 'voice of C7'. My primary complaint, as it has ever been, is C7's seeming inability to keep their customers informed when it comes to delays. The BBC will, I'm sure, wind up getting the blame for that from the forums, but I'm honestly intrigued to know what kind of contract absolutely forbids a company from talking to its customers about its products. It seems a bizarre one, to say the least. I have no doubt that's true, because constantly getting burnt on their delivery dates means that I'm rapidly becoming less and less inclined to buy their DWAITAS products. My patience, and my willingness to be disappointed when yet another release date is imminent without so much as a whisper - or even passed in silence - has finite limits. I hope the box set is out in April, and that I'm fretting over nothing. But, frankly, their track record on timely releases in the DWAITAS line is not an encouraging one.

Due to a quirk in the software they use, ALL their pre-order products say in stock. However, if they say PRE ORDER, it means it is NOT in stock. It only says In Stock on pre order items, due to a quirk of the shop software they use, which I think they have no control over other than using an entirely new on line shop. When an item IS in stock, then the PRE ORDER tag disappears.

The delay between series hitting screen and series info hitting sourcebooks seems to be very long. If you want S6 stuff, go to the appropriate section of the forums here, the statmeisters usually have stuff up within a week.
