Er, I think this goes in the Sci-Fi posting area 'LegolasAzazel' where some members have posted their Doctor Who custom figs and MOC's. I'm a conformist! ! Quote
hewkii9 Posted May 16, 2010 Posted May 16, 2010 Yeah, there's five or six Doctor Who topics in Lego Sci-Fi. And while it would succeed wildly where there is a market, I can't imagine Lego Doctor Who selling very well in the USA. Quote
MrCustomizer Posted May 16, 2010 Posted May 16, 2010 I think if they were to do one wave of Doctor Who sets for the new series, it would sell. I live in the middle of texas and have quite a few friends who love Doctor Who. I think if LEGO would give it a try, then they would be surprised. ~MC Quote

You'd be surprised by how popular thhe series is getting over here. Quote
DJ Force Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 I´m not the biggest fan of licensed themes as they are just way to expensive compared to original themes, but I would SOOOOO buy every Doctor Who set I could lay my hands on. Only problem is I would need more storage room then. Maybe a box that is bigger in the inside? :D Quote
Extreme Sadness. Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) YESYESYESYESYESYESYES!That would be awesome!I would definitely buy as many sets as I could. Although I do wonder how they would do the Tardis though. Knowing Lego, they'd probably have the Flagship set be the inside, and maybe include the Police Box version in another set? -ES- Edited May 18, 2010 by Extreme Sadness. Quote

No, it'd just be bigger on the inside of the Tardis model. Quote
Extreme Sadness. Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 No, it'd just be bigger on the inside of the Tardis model. If they actually managed to do that than all Physics books would become obsolete .-ES- Quote
Just Imagine Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Eh, I don't think it would sell that well. The Lego Company usually targets kids because it's a larger market. I know a lot of kids who live in the UK who are Doctor Who fans, but not in the US. I don't think it would do that well in the US. Doctor Who isn't shown on the TV in US I think (correct me if I'm wrong), and it's not very well known among kids. So no, I think it would only sell well in the UK. Quote

It deffinantly would'nt sell as well here in the states then it would over the pond. However it would sell some sets. Besides with all the cool aliens, monsters and stuff i'm sure kids would see it and say woah that's cool! I've only recently been a DW fan (the last six years) but if I saw sets when I was a kid I would be all over them. Your only thinking the brand name would sell them but bought things when I was a kid because of the actual thing rather then the logo. I never buy city sets or POP sets but there are some of the things in it that are really cool that really make me want to buy the set. However DW would never be made into a theme unless a feature movie was made for it which actually looks kind've likely. BTW DW is showing in the states and it's the most popular amercican aired british show. Quote
Just Imagine Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 It might sell somewhat well in the US, but I don't think it would even out the price of making new molds for the aliens, no faces, new hair, etc. Quote
DJ Force Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 There´s tons of stuff that can be used for other themes, and tons of stuff already existing from various other themes that can be used for DW. A different painted Plo Koon head from SW couls easily be used as an Ood. The faces aren´t that special that they couldn´t be used in or from other license themes. With the new collectible minifigures and the latest Harry Potter sets we even have marvellous new hairpieces that should cover all the DW needs. The robot head/helmet of the collectible minifigs might be used as a Cyberman (while I admit it wouldn´t be spot on) If TLG decides that a DW line wouldn´t succeed at the mass market, they could at least make a handful sets as store exclusives :) Quote
Just Imagine Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE Lego to make a DW theme. But, unfortunately, I don't think it's ever going to happen. Quote
