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+

      No they don’t. They won’t have it until it’s released formally. Just because it’s in the catalogue doesn’t mean they stock it yet.

  • King of the weevils

    August 2nd, 2011 - 6:10pm

    Sets I would like to see in the future:
    1.Torchwood hub with jack(children of earth day five costume), ianto, gwen, owen(with swappable hand), tosh and perhaps Suzie(with ressurection glove or risen mitten as ianto calls it) that set might cost a lot and would let kids know a bit about torchwood considering the fact the Hub was in the stolen earth
    2.Silent ship with silent open mouth figure
    3.SS fancy ship with black spot rory and captain avery
    4.The drawing room with vastra and jenny
    No room for more so will let you all know later!

    • King of the weevils

      August 2nd, 2011 - 6:52pm

      I would also like to see:
      5.The 9th and 10th doctors tardis with 10th doctor in brown suit
      6.The shark sleigh ride with doctor in Santa hat, young kazran in Santa hat and abigail and the shark obviously
      7.The main room in demons run with colnel manton, headless monk and cleric
      8.Tardis corridor with rory in yellow shirt and jacket
      I also have ideas for more figures in CB wave 2 as most figures will probably be taken out of the wave

    • Anonymous

      August 2nd, 2011 - 7:23pm

      They don’t have the rights to Torchwood, so the best they could do would be to release Jack, Gwen, Ianto and Tosh (as they are the only ones to appear in Doctor Who).

    • King of the weevils

      August 2nd, 2011 - 7:39pm

      🙁 I would still love to see one though if they ever got the rights for it!

      August 2nd, 2011 - 7:42pm

      The hub appeared in The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End though, as did Gwen and Ianto. Tosh appeared in Aliens of London.

      If CO would realise that then they have a fully legitimate loophole to release “Torchwood” figures or at least the Hub.

    • King of the weevils

      August 2nd, 2011 - 7:47pm

      Yeah but it would feel slightly incomplete without an owen! suzie was only in 2 episodes so I suppose she doesn’t really matter. They could scrap tosh though and just have them like in the stolen earth and journeys end.

    • King of the weevils

      August 2nd, 2011 - 7:51pm

      They could do just ianto, jack and gwen with hub from dr who but an owen figure would be quite good especially if it had a swappable hand with the bandage from the later episodes of series 2 and Suzie was only in 2 eps so I suppose she could be scrapped

    • Doctor who 1234

      August 2nd, 2011 - 8:38pm

      i think they should do the character building toys at the same time as the series. i appreciate that it is a year later as they probs just thought of the idea but it would be better if they did it much faster to catch up with new series

    • Anonymous

      August 4th, 2011 - 8:20pm

      It takes six months to make the figures though and they only get so much information from the BBC so half the things they release look odd as a result.

    • dr who fan 4 ever

    I’m really annoyed, because if my brother learns all of his times tables, up to his twelves, he is going to get this, and it isn’t fair because I never got anything like this, so i am going to ask my mum for something equivalent to the price or slightly less. What should I get. I thought either More s6 figures, River Song, This, leela or something else

      Either, share it with your Brother (But let him have it in his room or claim that its ‘his’)and Maybe ask for a sereis 6 figure instead.
      Or ask for the series 6 figures as RS & L look like they are going to be getting a future re-release.

      I don’t think it is, the website doesn’t have it in stock yet so I think they have just put it in as a placeholder for when the set comes out so the code is in the catalogue.

      IT was a black floor in some of the early prototype images but changed to a clear one later on so I’m guessing it is now clear.

      July 26th, 2011 - 3:51pm

      im afraid that the code system from lego minifigures does not apply on the doctor who micro figures. Ive checked each code is the same on each packet for a different character. So you cant tell which one is which

    So has it been confirmed that the Tardis mini set (exterior) is also included with this, or has that just been included on the prototype for display purposes? (I wasn’t sure if the wording here meant ‘exterior Tardis’ or ‘exterior landscape’).

I’d love to see the lodger tardis made onto a charcter building set and maybe the pirate ship! That would be great! I’d love to see the torchwood hub as well!
