Six new pieces arriving in Spring, new characters amongst them with a total retail price of just under £140.00.
Now come on, don't tell me you're not really keen for a peek!
I haven't got a clue what the six pieces are but someone likes teasing me so start guessing.
The big 'what' is WHAT IS(ARE) THE NEW CHARACTER(S)?
Whoever gets it/them right gets to verbally abuse Poppy more than usual!
Come on, someone start a poll as I haven't got a clue how to!

CBD31 Pie Face £17
CBD32 Pa £24
CBD33 Ma £24
CBD34 Ted £17
Theres two new faces there, integrated with familiar faces long overdue a revamp. Plus a whopper in the form of a musical box/clock.
Now for a geek fest, i blame this on cramming with revision:
Chances of characters appearing
The Three Bears 70% chance. In the classic range there has been alot of adult characters as they cost more at retail prices. There are not many adults left from the comics except parents as a result so the Three Bears could be in the works
Curly and Pie Face 85% chance. In another thread there is a poll, dodger cleverly made the poll so voters are not anomynous, a certain moderator has answered the poll, and it is highly likely this person knows the pieces by now. Of course the moderator could be lying, but i doubt its in her nature ;)
Ivy/Calamity James 60% Long overdue characters and i am optimisitcally waiting for the big announcement. However what these two have against them is height.
Biffo/Korky/Big Eggo 50% Cant have a classic collection without the cover stars, they are icons of the history. However they only get 50% because last time they sold disasterously bad.
Toots and Sydney 99.9999% Its a matter of when, not if
Cuddles and Dimples 60% Same applies to what i said about Calamity James and Ivy the Terrible. They are legends and overdue and with the recent influx of pups, it is hard to percieve harrop releasing more pint sized pieces for a while
The Nibblers 70% As with the Pups, i feel that the same can be applied to the Nibblers.
Bully Beef and Chips 80% Funnily enough there are more Beano characters than Dandy, and at the top of my head cannot think of that many more Dandy characters. So for there to be an equal balance of characters, these two are going to have to return
Jocks and Geordies Some 60% All 40% Jocks and Geordies are legends and i feel are overdue. However there are two problems there are 5 of each and yet i can only recall three being named despite them being in the Dandy for many years.
Dennis characters: 90% Even though i prefer other characters i accept that Dennis is the poster child of the beano. It would be beneficial for as many characters from the Dennis strip to be produced in the collection. That includes the 4 softies, the menaces, gnipper,rasher, parents,slipper,the colonel,dennis teacher, rashers girlfriend, gnashers girls,bea
Dan characters: 80% ditto to Dennis characters, Dan is poster man of dandy, but less characters as there are a few adults. (danny, katy, aunt aggie, dawg, dan mcgraw,cactusman,the mayor, little bear the indian girl, and her puma)
Dodge Cat and Alfie 90% Who else would make a good free gift?
Others 60% Les Pretend, Dinah Mo, Smudge, Jumbo, Billy the Cat, Spotted Dick, Snitch and Snatch
Others 50% Tom Dick and Sally, Black Bob, Sam Payne, Ill Will, Mutt and Moggy, Tin Can Tommy, Morgyn the Mighty, Snooty's Pals
0% Web Boy, Ollie Fliptrik
