DW premiers on August 23!! Nervous, anxious and excited---typical barrel of emotions whenever a new Doc appears,

I would post the link of the short-ass preview but have no idea how to do it on my phone, sorry.

Also, was in Hot Topic last week and was told that whatever DW merchandise they have now will be the MOST they'll be selling. They said that since Matt isn't coming back, the popularity of the merchandise has declined. They said they weren't completely stopping DW but they were just lessening the amount they sell big time.

I am not surprised. I have been a longtime DW fan since NuWho began. It was so hard to get merchandise back then too. Stores never even heard of it except for Half Price. There'd be a few stuff here and there but before Matt, I had to order my stuff from the BBC catalogue, etc then later, Amazon.

Matt definitely increased the US/World profile of DW. I know a lot of teenagers were crushing on Matt and already knew that if they were there for Matt and Matt only, without falling in love with the intricacies and complexities of the show as it went, those fans would drop like flies. I don't really care for them but it does affect me because now, shopping will be limited again, . I like to shop online but there is nothing like actually seeing and touching the merchandise! .

I also saw the preview of Gracepoint on tv last week. It was soo cool to see David on an American network. Sure, it's a remake of Broadchurch and I hope they don't butcher it but whatever it takes Tennant to become super huge here, I am all for it. It does bug me that they didn't let him keep his sexy accent,.

Btw, there are Sherlock merchandise in Hot Topic. Not in my store but my neice came over yesterday with one she got at her store. I just got Attack On Titan(Shingeki No Kyojin) and DW merchandise at mine. Didn't see any Sherlocks. Was very much into AoT last year as it was first airing in Japan. The dubbed version is on US cable and the voices are throwing me off, lol. Anyway, at least the US isn't taking decades before getting into another overseas pop culture. I can finally get AoT merchandise in person as well.
