Character Building Life Size Dalek Construction
Character Building Life Size Dalek Construction
Daleks build their numbers for Toy Fair as 157,000 piece work of art is unveiled.
A life-size model of Doctor Who’s most feared foe will be unveiled at Toy Fair that has been specially constructed from building bricks. The bright red Dalek measuring nearly 2 meters has been made in celebration of the Character Building Doctor Who range of micro figures and construction playsets that were first unveiled this time last year.
The facts speak for themselves constructing this mechanical monster was some fete and one which the Doctor himself would be proud of. Here’s the data…
4 people
328 man hours
157460 separate painstakingly connected together pieces
Weight 280 kg
Height 190 cm

January 20th, 2012 - 4:56pmHas anyone got the new Arogs catalogue yet? I know it’s not officially out until tommorow but they tend to start giving them out the day before.

January 20th, 2012 - 5:17pmgot it earlier today – nothing new apart from the silents army builder and the Guardsman armed forces army builder packs.
The Deadly 60 playsets look ok but probably best to see bigger pictures on the website when up.

January 17th, 2012 - 9:27amIf they sold life sized Lego Daleks, than would have been the best freaken Character Building Set ever, perhaps the best Lego made model ever.

January 16th, 2012 - 6:43pmFor Adam:
I’ll happily swap a Character Building Cyberleader for your Blue-Shirt Doctor, as you suggested on DOCTORWHOCBREVIEWS’s Collection Page. If you want to, just reply to this comment, or the one I’ve left on DOCTORWHOCBREVIEWS’s Collection Page.

January 16th, 2012 - 6:20pmOff the topic but does anyone know when Doctor Who Insider issue 10 will be released because I can’t find it anywhere and there was no next time page in issue 9.
booboo
January 16th, 2012 - 6:21pmthere seem to be no info at all

January 17th, 2012 - 3:15amThere’s a post on this at WhoNa… apparently issue 10 comes out in Feb(?), and will be the final issue. 😥
I’m not sure if this is true or not… I’ve been collecting this mag, so I’ll guess we’ll just have to wait and see if it has indeed been cancelled.
But people have apparently been issued refunds on their subscriptions at some retailers so that’s not a great sign…
