Blimey, April really is completely stacked in terms of interesting stuff this year. I’m definitely getting Betrayal at the House of Sontar and Pandemonium, but I’m tempted by just about everything else too (except UNIT: Eras, apologies to the Vlinx) 
I’m going to try and hold firm and skip Expulsion and Zygon Century: Transformation for my wallet’s sake, and I’ll wait and see what kind of reception Dark Gallifrey: The Meddling Monks gets, but I think it’s probably only a matter of time before I break and order Helter Skelter…

Interesting that it’s not a firm no on a physical release for Torchwood: Legacy. That’s the kind of thing where I’d usually expect a “we have no plans for this” style response
