The LEGO Ideas Doctor Who set will be available in December.
The back of the box shows that the set will contains two Doctors, Clara, a Weeping Angel and some Daleks.
More photographs of the model.
Nice model of the Tardis, which I think works well.
Still don’t really like the Daleks.
Nice Weeping Angel, I don’t think that the Peter Capaldi doctor has actually seen a Weeping Angel, but I may be wrong.
Looks like we will have Lego Doctor Who… very soon! This is the first official image of the new Doctor Who Lego.
Update: We now have the Tardis console as well….
This was a Lego Ideas submission which was approved to be a real product.
We already have Lego Dimensions Doctor Who as we found out in July. This is the video from that announcement.
It looks like from the video that you will be able to play all thirteen doctors in the game. In addition there are Daleks and Cybermen.
At the San Diego Comic-Con Lego released a new video of how Doctor Who (in Lego) will play out in their new Lego Dimensions video game.
It looks like from the video that you will be able to play all thirteen doctors in the game. In addition there are Daleks and Cybermen.
The WIRED folks recreated that classic scene from Return of the Jedi in Lego (and a 1000 frames per second camera).
Well what do we have here, the Doctor in Lego.
Oh and K9 and a TARDIS.
Okay so not a proper set (just yet), but for the forthcoming Lego Dimensions
The game uses “real” Lego which are then “brought” into the game. There is a real mix of brands, for example the starter set has Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle (from The Lego Movie
You can expand the game with packs and these have so far included figures from the Lego franchises such as Ninjago
With the release of some instructions, we now know that there will also be an expansion pack for Doctor Who.
The copyright notice for Doctor Who is quite interesting as it includes details of Daleks and Cybermen.

From this I would ascertain that we will see Lego Daleks and Cybermen, very likely in the game, but could mean Lego Daleks if and when more Doctor Who Lego is released. The BBC does not hold all the rights to all the Doctor Who monsters, therefore licensed products need to both licence Doctor Who from the BBC, but also need to licence Terry Nation (estate) for the Daleks.
In addition to Doctor Who we have also seen packs for Jurassic World, Scooby Doo, Portal and The Simpsons.
May the 4th Be With You” Australia! Melbournians join LEGO Master Builders Chris and Dan Steininger build the world’s largest Millennium Falcon from LEGO bricks!
LEGO have released a teaser trailer for their forthcoming Jurassic World Game.
Typical Lego humour.
Very clever.
Lego seems to be having something of a renaissance over the last few years, or is it just that the internet allows for many more people to share their creations.
I was impressed with these creations of scenes from ALIENS in Lego.
Lots of clever details and certainly the models look the part.
See more pictures.
After posting my last blog posting on a Lego video game, I should point out that there are also versions of Lego Harry Potter for other platforms including the Mac and other platforms
One the many games that are out that I have enjoyed is Indiana Jones. I have the first version on the PS3
As with all the Lego games, there is a tongue in cheek humour about the game and this is not a Legolisation of the films, no this is Lego Indiana Jones, it looks and feels like Indianan Jones, but isn’t a copy or a duplicate, it is special in it’s own right! This has all the fun aspects of the films, but in Lego.
As with other Lego games, there are puzzles and strategies you need to do before you can move onto the next level. Freeplay means that even if you finish all the levels, this doesn’t mean you have finished the game. The little film clips are amusing and cleverly done.
Quite like the idea of the sequel which is available on the Mac.
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues combines the fun and creative construction of LEGO bricks with the wits, daring and non-stop action of one of cinema’s best loved adventure heroes. With a unique and hilarious take on all the Indiana Jones films – including for the first time ever Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – LEGO Indiana Jones 2 follows Dr. Jones’ escapades from the jungles of South America to the Peruvian Ruins and beyond.
You can get LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure for the Mac and other platforms, Wii, PS3, Xbox and Nintendo DS
The other Lego game I like is Star Wars and there are now quite a few versions out.
I have played the Complete Saga
This is the definitive LEGO Star Wars comprising the first two games and expanding them with new characters, enhanced visuals, and more bonus levels than you can shake a lightsaber at.
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga is a family-friendly game, which is both funny and challenging. Pick and choose your characters wisely to engage in combat, solve puzzles and work together as a team to defeat the dark side.
Like the other Lego games, much of the same kind of play, but in the Star Wars universe. Like Indy there is a tongue in cheek aspect to the game and the little film clips, which makes this great fun for all the family.
Quite looking forward now to playing Lego Pirates of the Caribbean
Never liked the films though….
