Annihilator Set

The Annihilator Set is considered to be the second main set within the Battles in Time series. The set itself was announced in a press release from GE FABBRI on the 9th of January 2007 launching on the 23rd of Febraury 2007. The Annihilator series was far smaller than the Exterminator series with only a further 100 cards numbered 276 to 375 featuring more characters from the first and second series, up to and including the most recent episode of the time, The Runaway Bride. The final card in the Annihilator Set was Martha Jones which was a sneak-peak for the upcoming third series.

It is unknown why the Annihilator set was so small, however it is believed there was pressure to release a new set, and as Series 3 of Doctor Who was not released at the time, the production team behind the set were only able to use one new episode for new cards resulting in what appeared to be random characters and cards presumably in an attempt to get to 100 cards.

This set was well accepted however, and prompted enough sales to gain commision of a third set, the Invader set.

The Annihilator set though smaller remained with the same rarities and were split into the following categories:

75 (C) Common cards (8 in every pack)

15 (R) Rare cards (1 in every pack)

6 (SR) Super-Rare cards (1 in every 6 packs)

4 (UR) Ultra-Rare cards (1 in every 24 packs)

1 Golden Ticket card (1 in every 1000 packs)

Unlike the previous series, no individual Annihilator packs were placed with magazines, but instead dual packs containing 12 cards (6 Exterminator and 6 Annihilator).
