LEGO® Ideas 21304 Doctor Who Set by Andrew Clark RRP £49.99 Due December 1st
Construct a stunningly detailed LEGO® version of the iconic TARDIS® and role-play the Doctor’s time-travel adventures!
Created by fan-designer Andrew Clark and selected by LEGO Ideas members, this set is based on the BBC’s popular and long-running television series about a Time Lord – the Doctor – exploring the universe in a blue police box.
Due to trans-dimensional engineering, the TARDIS is bigger on the inside than the outside and this cool multifunctional set includes the console room that houses all the flight controls.
Regenerate the Doctor and defeat the evil Daleks™ and a Weeping Angel with the help of his extraordinary companion Clara. Then close the doors of the TARDIS and launch into another dimension!
Includes 4 minifigures with assorted accessory elements: the Eleventh Doctor, the Twelfth Doctor, Clara Oswald and a Weeping Angel, plus 2 Daleks™.
Lego Dimensions…
Build the minifigure heroes and fire-up the game to start the experience, then follow the in-game build instructions to assemble the loose bricks into the LEGO Gateway, and place the structure on the LEGO Toy Pad.
Available to buy in the UK from www.amazon.co.uk
Available to buy in the USA from www.amazon.com #ad
Expand the adventure by collecting more minifigures, vehicles, gadgets, and new levels with the purchase of three different types of expansion packs. Use whatever minifigure with whichever vehicle or gadget – go ahead… break the rules!

October 10th, 2015 - 1:11amI really want a Lego third doctor with bessie so we can reverse the polarity of the technic axle!
MORLU
October 9th, 2015 - 2:37pmOverall I love the set and will get it when its released. I would have liked more interior walls like the CB one had, if it had come out.
I hadn’t even noticed that the tardis exterior only had three panels until Andrew I pointed it out. Must admit it does bother me a little.
I only hope that we will eventually get all the Dotors in minifig form at some point.
cyberdoctor42
October 9th, 2015 - 5:45pmThe panels fold and close so it is a full tardis
cyberdoctor42
October 10th, 2015 - 1:12amAlso if it had full walls the price would be about thrice the cost of this design
DoctorRiverTARDIS
October 10th, 2015 - 8:44amcyberdoctor42 I think by MORLU saying three panels they meant on the exterior with one being a window then below that the door sign, then a blank one below that, and there should be another blank one below that but there isn’t

October 9th, 2015 - 2:21pmEveryone stop complaining about the time rotor. You can easily buy/find orange (What I call) Lightsaber blades and find orange discs for inside the rotor. And as for the Daleks just rebuild them. And as for no proper 12 then buy the LEGO Dimensions pack because if you do that you also get a K-9 and mini TARDIS like in Flatline. This is the best thing about LEGO. You can rebuild something if you don’t like it.
cyberdoctor42
October 9th, 2015 - 5:46pmExactly! I completely agree.
cyberdoctor42
October 10th, 2015 - 1:13amIf you want orange pieces go to a Lego store or, if you live in Northern Ireland like me, go on bricklink.

October 11th, 2015 - 5:16pmI KNOW RIGHT!!!!
Dalek the Supreme
October 8th, 2015 - 9:15pmThis set has everything I could want from a Lego Doctor Who set. My favorite Doctor, the current Doctor, a companion that works with them both (the show itself has had greater anachronisms than the Eleventh Doctor traveling with Clara while wearing his tweed jacket), the TARDIS exterior and interior, and a small squadron of Daleks, with a bonus Weeping Angel thrown in to make it even more perfect.
EndlessTimelord
October 9th, 2015 - 2:22pmI am a bit sad there’s no Cyberman but I can get him in the fun pack.
Fredfez
October 8th, 2015 - 5:51pmIs nobody else going to question its price I think I might just have to make my own 🙁 but that is the advantage of Lego over figures
yognot
October 8th, 2015 - 6:03pmWell once comes out there’s going to be a frenzy to get it. That and Lego Ideas sets are usually expensive. Its definitely not the most outrageous price for a lego set that I’ve seen.

October 9th, 2015 - 5:48pmSo spend £2.50 on a minifigure, its less than you would spend on the postage

October 10th, 2015 - 12:08amWhat Doctor Who Mini-Figures do they sell?
cyberdoctor42
October 10th, 2015 - 1:05amIt’s Lego, you can use the latest series of minifigs with the doctor who figures- they’re Halloween themed. Zombie pirate story anyone?
yognot
October 8th, 2015 - 5:19pmFor all the people complaining about the Daleks, let’s just admit, we could have had worse. Personally I love them even though they’re not as detailed as CB. We could have gotten worse, I’ve built worse, but the key aspect about them is that you should be able to look at one and instantly say “that’s a Dalek.”
yognot
October 8th, 2015 - 5:22pmI was going to say that I’ve seen worse than the ones I’ve buior, but I don’t want anyone to feel bad.

cyberdoctor42
October 9th, 2015 - 6:21pmI like the dalek design and i think anyone complaining about them looking terrible has never actually experienced the sheer frustration of trying to build a dalek out of Lego. They obviously aren’t going to be as detailed as the character building ones because the are made from pieces specifically made to be a sections of daleks, whereas Lego have always preferred to build things out of preexisting bricks, which is something that i agree with as i feel that sculpted things just don’t fit in very well with the general aesthetic of Lego.
yognot
October 9th, 2015 - 8:58pmAs long as it looks like a Dalek, I’m okay with it. I think we can all agree that it is very difficult making a Dalek out of Lego without cutting or gluing the pieces. That and Lego Ideas has this thing where they’re only allowed to use preexsisting bricks. And technically Capaldi’s hair piece and the sonic screwdriver have already been released in Lego dimensions.
yognot
October 9th, 2015 - 9:00pmAlso, is it me, or do the midsections look like they can rotate?
Andrew I
October 8th, 2015 - 3:24pmI’m slightly bothered that the TARDIS only has three panels on the sides instead of four…. but I’ll get over it. So so sooooo pleased Lego and the BBC finally teamed up and are getting this product to the market! It was so long coming. Really, it would have made sense to do this when Tennant was the Doctor as I think it had greatest younger audience appeal then, in the height of the Doctor Who is back craze – still, now and late is much better than never!
Will definitely be buying this and hankering for more!!
The Living Shadow
October 8th, 2015 - 1:13pmI’m looking forward to this, the set looks good and I love the way the exterior of the Tardis opens to become the doorway of the interior! My only complaints are the same as a lot of other people’s, them being that the Daleks are far from perfect, and I’d have loved to get a Series 7b outfit for 11, and regular outfit for 12. Oh, and it would’ve been awesome to have gotten some pieces that could allow us to change the Tardis to the 12th Doctors.

October 7th, 2015 - 11:59pmDoes ANYONE agree that the Lego Daleks look ridiculous?
Simon W
October 8th, 2015 - 12:11amYes they look very ridiculous. If I get it I would use the daleks from the characters collection in stead
cyberdoctor42
October 8th, 2015 - 8:33amThey. Are. Brick. Built. They aren’t going to look like the specifically sculpted character building daleks because these are made with only existing Lego pieces. Personally i prefer this design over the character building design because i prefer brick built over molded pieces because you can make a special weapons dalek or a dalek emperor out of the bricks you already have. If you dislike this design rebuild it. You are supplied with the needed printed piece so go ahead, see if you can do better and still keep the scale accurate.
anon
October 8th, 2015 - 12:12pmCyberdoctor42, anon is just stating an honest opinion, and in all fairness, the Daleks SHOULD have a close resemblence to the on screen ones.
Being made of lego, it just looks as though they took a bunch of spare lego bricks and thought “oh, this will do”.
At least CB looked like proper Daleks!
Tell you what, you think the design is that good, id like to see you make a decent-looking lego Dalek, without it looking like a big mess!
Rant over!
thedoctortrash
October 8th, 2015 - 12:56pmIthink they look pretty cool
The Living Shadow
October 8th, 2015 - 1:08pmThey’re not too bad. I’ve made more accurate looking ones myself, but that’s the wonderful thing about lego; if you don’t like something, you can just rebuild it, or change it yourself!

October 9th, 2015 - 6:28pmAnon, what are you talking about? ‘if you think the design is that good, id like to see you make a decent-looking Lego dalek without it looking like a big mess’ the daleks in this set look decent in my opinion which is why i feel that people complaining ‘oh I’m going to have to use something I already have because I need realistically proportioned daleks alongside my short and stocky minifigures and can’t be bothered to make some myself’ is just silly. It’s Lego, Lego isn’t proportionate.

Nobody in particular
October 7th, 2015 - 9:41pmWell you’re never gonna get complete accuracy, it’s made of small plastic bricks that don’t come in every shape or size

October 8th, 2015 - 8:40pmtrue but the still could have done better
Sam Richard Bentley
October 7th, 2015 - 1:22pmI think one thing people have to understand is this set is specifically based on the Ideas design. The reason is doesn’t have more walls? Because the original didn’t have walls.
What LEGO do with winning Ideas is they re-make them they’re own way, but keep the initial design as is. Clark’s TARDIS didn’t have walls, and thus this one doesn’t.
Here’s hoping for more sets that /aren’t/ part of the Ideas range – which this specific set is. Personally I am hoping for a Classic TARDIS with Doctor’s 1-7 as minifigures. (I know it’s not the same set for the first 26 years, but they look similar enough to be sold as one LEGO set)
When The Doctor Was Me
October 7th, 2015 - 1:27pmI agree Sam. But i can see why people want more walls. Personally i am getting the set, but have so much lego i can create the rest with my own pieces.
Sam Richard Bentley
October 7th, 2015 - 1:42pmThat’s one of the greatest things about LEGO – there’s always a piece for something. You can add onto things, or create them differently. That goes for Minifigs as well – much easier to make Minifig customs with LEGO than, say Character Building, for example.
Cpl. Hicks
October 7th, 2015 - 9:38pmMinecraft started as an idea’s set, now look at how many actual sets there are
The Eleventh
October 7th, 2015 - 11:42amAm I seriously the only one who is going to ask why they used Anakin Skywalker’s hairpiece for a quiff? Seriously looks nothing like Matt’s hair. They should have used Lupin’s hair in brown.
Sam Richard Bentley
October 7th, 2015 - 11:58amI agree completely – but, I suppose, you could always buy that hair piece and replace it if need be. Maybe if the Skywalker hair was, say, flipped, it would have been more appropriate.
DavidH
October 6th, 2015 - 11:19pmI can’t decide whether I like it or not. On one hand, it is very nice, and being Lego will be well-designed. On the other hand, being Lego it is expensive, and for some reason without 12’s proper outfit…
The Eleventh
October 7th, 2015 - 11:30amIt’s base off the Time of the Doctor episode
DavidH
October 7th, 2015 - 7:30pmI know that, but why not base it on a different story so he can have his proper outfit? He has in the Lego Dimensions set?
T4RD1S
October 6th, 2015 - 9:44pmIs this and LEGO Dimensions just a one time thing for Doctor Who or is it going to be an official range?
Lego Who
October 6th, 2015 - 9:48pmIf they do well then they will most probably release more, so fingers crossed
Anonymous
October 7th, 2015 - 3:33pmwell… lego minecraft, an ideas set, got an official set line, so here’s a’hoping!
Sam Richard Bentley
October 6th, 2015 - 9:29pmI must say – I am quite surprised this does not include orange versions of the blue transparent bricks.
I mean – the Back to the Future set came with lots of bricks so you could add the to the car to change it to fit one of the three films. So, one would think they could include a small bag full of orange alternatives to the blue, so it could be both variants we have seen of this console.
Nonetheless – looks great. I might hold out on it, see if they release anything classic.
Lego Who
October 6th, 2015 - 9:41pmI agree, that would’ve been a good idea
Anonymous
October 6th, 2015 - 9:03pmwhy have they released only the console part of the tardis? :/ and No 12 in his proper outfit.
cyberdoctor42
October 6th, 2015 - 11:50pmThe proper 12 is exclusive to the Lego dimensions pack and to release the entire, massive console room made from Lego would have been ludicrously expensive.
Anonymous
October 7th, 2015 - 12:05amExactly, then it would be double the price & hardly anyone would want to pay the price
The Silent Silent
October 6th, 2015 - 8:22pmYES AND NO !
Dalek Smith
October 6th, 2015 - 8:08pmOverall I like it. Was expecting the price to be around what it is, normally is this for Lego ideas sets. It looks like a really fun set and a good build.I actually like the minifigures, yeah the daleks don’t look as detailed as CB but they still look fun, that really is the key word for Lego. Yeah it’s a bit disappointing about the twelfth doctor costume but I’ll buy the Lego dimensions packs and I expect we will see more from Lego Doctor Who anyway. I mean it’s a big part of Lego dimensions and classic doctors are playable in the game so I imagine it’s safe to say we’ll see them released sooner or later. I am expecting this to be much more solid than the CB sets, they just fell apart so easily, I was worried about playing with them.
Anonymous
October 6th, 2015 - 7:51pmwhy release 12 mini fig with 7-B costume(matt smith) instead of official capaldi attire? Oh wait….. dimensions ……money……exclusive minifig……. ok, ok, maybe if I swap heads i’ll create 7-B doctor…. or regeneration effect. But, regenerated figure instead of the main costume figure like seen in dimensions….IT SICKENNS ME!!!!

October 6th, 2015 - 7:28pmI was really looking forward to this but have to say I prefered Character Building’s efforts – these Daleks are woeful 🙁

October 6th, 2015 - 7:52pmYes I agree!
Lego Who
October 6th, 2015 - 9:34pmI’ve seen better customs, tbh I would prefer a new dotted mould piece for the daleks
Lego Who
October 6th, 2015 - 9:44pmStill cool that we can build the daleks ourselves & easily make our own by changing the brick colour though
Myriam Roberts
October 6th, 2015 - 10:26pmI agree Character Building had better micro figures.

October 6th, 2015 - 7:09pmDid the person who decided to omit Tom Baker actually know anything about Dr Who? It’s like doing a Wizard of Oz set and leaving out the Wizard….

October 6th, 2015 - 6:53pmI know its quite early to ask this but what would people like to see in a wave of mini figures
My list, keeping it constraned to the new series (lego would aim highly at children who may not be familiar with the new series)
-12th in normal outfit with sonic
-11 in series 7b outfit with sonic
-10 with sonic
-war doctor with sonic and moment
-clara variant
-missy with umbrella and phone like weapon thing
-davros (not sure how they’d do it, but it would be interesting)
-red supreme dalek( again, not sure how, but it would be cool)
-zygon
-ice warrior
-kate stewart
-osgood (DOTD)
-sontaran
-dalek
-cyberman
-weeping angel (last three purely for army building)

November 19th, 2015 - 9:11pmPersonally I think they should do a 13 doctors set (with a 11 in purple and 12 on hoodie) and then with the 3 left over do a JE human 10 doctor, 11 without jacket and 12 in velvet. Being VERY WISHFUL we could look for a regeneration set as well 😀

October 6th, 2015 - 4:27pmI’m glad i pre-ordered the lego dimensions Doctor Who. Get 12 in outfit which i’m disappointed the set doesn’t have. Also pre-ordered the other Lego Dimensions Doctor Who to get the Cybermen.

October 6th, 2015 - 4:14pmLooks cool, but I hate the fact that they don’t include 12 in his proper outfit. I guess they want people to buy the LEGO Dimensions pack to get him, but not everyone wants to play the whole game.
Lego Who
October 6th, 2015 - 9:40pmIts a 11th regeneration, this way its a reasonable way to add both doctors in one set and we can then go out and get the dimensions figure and have 2 variants. People would complain if there was 2 of the same 12th doctors available n would get the cheaper option, & the ideas set would lose sales
