      Lol, I’ve done that before, tried to build the Mega Tardis Set during the night. I ended up breaking it and I had to start again! I also was missing some pieces when I built stuff, I used Lego Bricks from my collection to make up for them but it wasn’t helpful that they were missing in the first place.

    💡 I’ve got a solution for the conveyor belt problem in the DALEK FACTORY SET. Use some blocks of LEGO which is almost as long as the conveyor itself and attach underneath to the support block.

      I’ve not had much luck with it either, they should have put something under teh conveyor belt’s top part to hold it in place while the Dalek moves and there aren’t enough spare parts in the box to hold it up.

      There are spares but then there are also two each of another design that don’t seem to belong to the set (they are the same two stickers used on the consoles in the Dalek Progenitor Room mini set).

      I was wondering that myself 😕 I might just stick where, in the photo, where the Dalek Scientist is!

      P.S. It might just be another exclusive sticker like they do in every set e.g. The Time of Angels set had two Dr Who logos in it.

      Back in February it was reported that UT were showing a CB Silence amry builder pack, but as with most US toy fairs they give away all information but have control over what gets pictures released. They were unable to confirm whether it would actually come out but it certainly shows it is a possibility.

      That description confirms that at least one of the figures is a Dalek and a River Song was confirmed at Christmas in July, and also there is a similar one for the HM Armed Forces except it says there are 12 figures so I would guess they have been sent the information but are not allowed to put out pictures yet.

    • Ig

      July 19th, 2011 - 5:22pm

      If its 60% different they may keep about three of them wich I hope are Amy in police outfit, auton roman, and vampire girl. The other seven could be another doctor maybe Stetson and river also could have headless monk or silence or iris or canton but I hope there is Rory

      Who agrees with me?????
