On or around July 2012, a third a national set of 126 foiled cards were available. A full set of all of these cards were available exclusively with Doctor Who Monster Invasion magazine and not available to purchase separately. Packs included a mix of cards: 6 foiled trading cards comprising of 5 Rare and 1 Ultra Rare card. These cards followed the same categories as established in the previous releases. A further four, magazine-exclusive, Ultra Rare flip cards were included along with the magazine issues 32, 38, 45, 52. Doctor Who Adventures issue 280 included the fifth of the additional Ultra Rare magazine-only cards.

As a result of the exclusive subscriber cards, and those from magazines specifically the Ultimate Set is now slightly rarer than those of the other two due to limited printing as they were not released in separate packs, and the packs with the magazines guaranteeing a full set, and therefore making spares more sparce.
