just2good Posted September 2, 2015 This was posted by an illustrator for the LEGO Magazine... Could e possibly mean Doctor Who? I doubt it. It has to be The Force Awakens, as Sept. 4th is when all the sets get released, and I'd bet that's LEGO's big push for the rest of the year... it's Disney's big push for the rest of the year already.

Housey98 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) This was posted by an illustrator for the LEGO Magazine... Could e possibly mean Doctor Who? I presume that he's referring to Star Wars, seeing as Force Friday starts on the 4th and the new sets are released. They will no doubt be incredibly popular.

Jacob_9821 Posted September 2, 2015 That's probably just referring to Star Wars, and by extension the Force Awakens sets... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultron Posted September 2, 2015 He's talking about Star Wars, clearly. All the sets and merchandise are releasing on a special day called "Force Friday" on September fourth. There's no way we'd get a bunch of doctor who sets before we even see how the ideas one performs.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gedren_y Posted September 2, 2015 The Force Friday was also speculated to be the date of the next LDD update, because of the sets plausibly having new parts that might be in the next update. It is entirely conceivable that TLG decided that all the press releases should go out the same day, using the big property to garner attention for all the others.

CM4Sci Posted September 2, 2015 Ok, so I misunderstood what I was told. I believe my friend told me he accidentally told the release date of something that hadn't been officially announced yet. I assumed it was Doctor Who, but what I think he meant was the WALL-E set was gonna be released/revealed on Sept 1st. So I guess nothing was ever supposed to be revealed on the 1st. Sorry, guys. We should be getting a reveal for something soon though, whether it be the Star Wars D2C or Doctor Who. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's fine, like I said earlier, I think it's most likely to be revealed with DW, so when you said the 1st I was a little surprised. Now if the set isn't revealed with DW, then I'll start getting impatient, let's hope that doesn't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_sarcophagus Posted September 3, 2015 Agree. I don't think it will happen before then as it will get drowned in the TFA frenzy. So the 19th! My birthday. It will be a nice present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarilian Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I'm guessing the set wont be released until around mid-late November. The reason behind this is that the Lego Dimensions Doctor Who Pack has a release date of November 3rd and they would probably try and release Doctor Who sets after that so people jump at the chance to get the Doctor Who Pack. In addition to this it would also be nearing the final few episodes of Doctor Who series 9, meaning the fan base will be the most active. As for a reveal, my gut says they would wait until October to avoid the hype of the TFA sets. However, a reveal on the 19th Sepetmeber to coincide with the start of series 9 could also be something i could see them doing. Though just theorising.

VTsquatts Posted September 3, 2015 Yea I agree way too much going on with star wars coming up. I guess the 19th or around would make sense. You would think they would want to hype it up a bit before Christmas!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jared Posted September 3, 2015 It is entirely conceivable that TLG decided that all the press releases should go out the same day, using the big property to garner attention for all the others. Very unlikely, and I highly doubt it. Star Wars is way too popular, I think if they revealed the DW set it would be completely glossed over in favour of Star Wars. So the 19th! My birthday. It will be a nice present. Happy birthday! The reason behind this is that the Lego Dimensions Doctor Who Pack has a release date of November 3rd and they would probably try and release Doctor Who sets after that so people jump at the chance to get the Doctor Who Pack. People like me who've already pre-ordered 2 ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ultron32 Posted September 3, 2015 Any chance for a New York Comic Con reveal? Barely a month away now. They're bound to release some set pictures there but it could just as easily be Angry Birds, Super Heroes or something else entirely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GandalfofHoth Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Any chance for a New York Comic Con reveal? Barely a month away now. They're bound to release some set pictures there but it could just as easily be Angry Birds, Super Heroes or something else entirely. Well, I hope the big reveal at NYCC isn't Angry Birds, because I for one will be avoiding that theme. Maybe we could see some DC Super Heroes BvS sets there, but DW I think will have a stand there. DW, I would suspect, will be officially revealed beforehand because I would suspect Lego would draw a bigger crowd (ignoring AFOLers) from a established theme, than DW, a theme that, if you aren't following Lego closely, you may not know exists. I think they want to make this a big deal in the UK as well as the US, and NYCC, though it would definitely have a response from the UK market, I would guess they'd get a bigger response from the UK audience if they released it with DW itself, but that's just my guess. The NYCC reveal is a possibility, but I sure hope it's not what Lego does. Edited September 3, 2015 by GandalfofHoth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they had a giant Doctor Who logo at the top of the booth like they've done with TMNT and Bionicle, people would see it and be interested, probably. That's a good point about them probably wanting to make it a big deal in the UK though. And yeah, Batman Vs Supernan (or Civil War) would make more sense, but that's what I say every year....and we've not had anything Marvel or DC yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jared Posted September 4, 2015 I got to see the Doctor minifig from the Dimensions sets today up close and personal at Fan Expo. Really have to say I'm... not really hyped for it. I guess I was just hoping there'd be more doctor figures. Still, it's a cool figure. Can't wait for the reveal of the set though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't seem bad--although I will say I'd much rather have a Matt Smith version. Granted I think I'm more excited for the Cyberman--I hope he ends up in the actual set too, so you don't have to drop $15 on buying multiple fun packs just to army build Cybermen.

Jared Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) I am predicting the reveal date is September 27, 2015 to coincide with Lego Dimensions. Very highly doubt it, Doctor Who is just a small part of a huge game. It would conflict too much. Very sure it'll be either this or next week, before the season premieres. That's surprising.

Granted I think I'm more excited for the Cyberman--I hope he ends up in the actual set too, so you don't have to drop $15 on buying multiple fun packs just to army build Cybermen. No no, you're right, he's an excellent figure, but I REALLY want an 8th Doctor figure. Also, a Matt Smith figure would be brilliant! Apparently he will be with the set, so there's some excitement there! As for the cybermen.... apparently according to Hulksmash he's in the actual set, but I ordered the fun pack anyway. I'm not an army builder, but would like to have at least 3 (plus a fun character to play with in-game :D) Edited September 5, 2015 by Jared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deskp Posted September 5, 2015 It would make sense to reveal if in the same week that the premiere is, cause there will be promos for the show, wich will obviously make people excited for the set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same with all other classic Doctors except maybe the 1st or 4th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
