Character Building Tardis Console Set

TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space and looks just like a wooden Police phone box from the 1950’s on the outside, but is of infinite proportions on the inside.

This incredible time machine is piloted by The Doctor, a mysterious Time Lord and it’s able to transport him anywhere through time and space, disappearing in one place and reappearing somewhere new.

tadis-console750

Amy Pond waited fourteen years for her chance to travel with the Doctor, after meeting him when she was seven years old. Despite her small-town roots, Amy takes everything in her stride and quickly became the Doctor’s best friend.

Now you can build the Eleventh Doctors iconic vehicle with this highly detailed construction playset that features TARDIS interior console room and exterior with alien world landscape. Set also includes four Doctor who micro-figures! The Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, Rory Williams and River Song. 7+

    I bought this with box damage; the box was not sealed and the corner torn and crushed. Can I check – how many bags are meant to be inside? I want to know if it is complete.

    Thanks,

    Is the Rory figure that comes with this set different to the one that came on it’s own? As I see there are two different Rory pics.

    I just got mine! Really cool and I love it! Even comes with the mini tardis! Really do have to look hard at the instructions though and it does take a steady hand! Very cleverly done! I rate it 8/10! I advise you to buy and build the smaller playsets first before doing this one so you have some experience! :):):)

      Didn’t yours have spare pieces because mine came with quite a few. If it’s a little piece, don’t worry, its not that noticeable.

    This took me 6 hours to build. There were a couple of pieces missing so I had to change it so I didn’t matter. A month later and it’s fallen apart! 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿

      I got this set for it’s usual price, and there were more pieces gone than there, so my dad and I went circling all of the pieces in the instructions not with the set, and we just gave up and didn’t complain.

      You can get them from character online. Go to the product’s page which is the playset and underneath the picture, there will be a link to the manual.

    I got this for christmas, and i love it, very very good, but when i look at your pictures of the set booboo i cant help but notice that mine differs to yours. for example the back wall with the doors and scanner has brown tiles not all yellow. the wall on the left has a piece to hide the gap and the wall where the stairway leads off to actually attaches to the wall. does this mean there is two versions now?

      It might have done, I noticed the stats jump about a bit, was there an internal server error message?

      Yeah, a picture of a Cybermat and it said something about a internal server error.

    i think it would be very nice if character building made another amy with trousers:

    like..
    the girl who waited
    the impossible astronaut
    the almost people
    a good man goes to war

    or another one with a skirt

    like..
    lets kill hiler
    the doctor’s wife
    the god complex
    or amy from day of the moon/ the wedding of river song
    also..
    the vampires of venice
    the hungry earth
    the beast below
    the time of angels
    amy’s choice tardis version
    amys choice pregnant version
