With Thanks to BBC Worldwide
CONFIRMED: Fan concept for a Doctor Who LEGO® set will enter production in 2015.
The LEGO Group have announced that they will be producing a LEGO Doctor Who set. The concept for a Doctor Who set came from the LEGO® IDEAS website where fans can submit ideas for a set and vote for their favourite idea to be produced.
The Doctor Who concept from fan Andrew Clark received the 10,000 votes requisite for The LEGO Group to consider it for production.
A licensing agreement between BBC Worldwide and The LEGO Group will see the new set available in all of The LEGO Group’s key markets before the end of the year.
Andrew’s winning design featured a range of Doctors, companions and monsters across the show’s history, but fans will have to wait until later this year to discover what will be produced.
Marcus Arthur, MD of BBC Worldwide UK said, “Both Doctor Who and LEGO enjoy a particularly close relationship with their fans and I can’t wait to see what LEGO produce.”
Emma Owen, UK spokesperson for LEGO Ideas commented: “We’re extremely excited to announce that a Doctor Who and a WALL-E set will be released as our next LEGO Ideas fan based sets, congratulations to the designers Andrew Clark and Angus MacLane!
“After receiving over 10,000 votes from the online community and having gone through rigorous toy testing from our expert panel, these awesome sets are on track to be on shelves later this year. The final set designs, pricing and availability are being worked out as we speak, so watch this space for the final details!”
LEGO® Ideas is a crowdsourcing community where LEGO fans can submit their own ideas for new LEGO products, and vote for other members’ ideas. Members collect votes for their ideas online, and ideas that receive 10,000 votes have a chance of being selected to become part of the LEGO Group’s product portfolio.
To date, nine products have been released via the platform and three additional products will launch in 2015.

February 4th, 2015 - 6:56pmPretty sure, being LEGO ideas, there will only be one set.
Dalek The Supreme
February 5th, 2015 - 1:27pmOh. I wonder what the set would be. Probably a TARDIS console room.

February 4th, 2015 - 6:49pmBEST MERCHANDISE NEW EVER. No. Seriously. I love LEGO and CB was always a disappointing replacement to me…
Sam Richard Bentley
February 4th, 2015 - 6:55pmLiterally a dream come true for me. Even if it’s just one set.

100000BC
February 4th, 2015 - 6:40pmTo be honest, I’m surprised that this hadn’t come up earlier, even before CB had a stab at it, as it seems to be something so blindingly obvious that would make both LEGO and the BBC a lot of money.
CJ
February 4th, 2015 - 5:22pmYes! This should be good 🙂
The four Doctors
February 4th, 2015 - 5:22pmSelling all the character options, buying all the Lego.
Lego is much more creative.

February 4th, 2015 - 5:14pmThis is good news for the BBC and Lego fans.
As someone who can take or leave Lego and is able to step away from the nostalgia/loyalty of the Lego brand and see that there are far better alternatives….CB being one of them, I am not willing to start yet another collection and will stick with what CB produced….at least they have some kind of resemblance to the actors and character, which Lego will not….unless the 13th Doctor is bright yellow and has a featureless face.
The Living Shadow
February 4th, 2015 - 7:04pmYou clearly haven’t seen a Lego set since 2004! That’s when they Ditched the yellow skin for licensed brands. Furthermore the likenesses are simple, I’ll give you that, but they can still resemble the character they are meant to depict, take a look at the Marty McFly, or Jack Sparrow minifigures for an example of this…
