LeoPx4x Posted September 29, 2015 Let's hope for a reveal on the first October! I mean no one really thinks about this, so could it be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DuckBricks Posted September 29, 2015 Anything would be better than November! Fingers crossed it will be revealed at BrickCon, the Lego convention in Seattle this weekend. Last year the UCS Slave 1 was revealed there, so I don't see why not. I'm going and am hoping to see it in person... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGODalekbuster523 Posted September 29, 2015 Agreed. Unfortunately, SDCC seems to be reserved for next year's sets... It's ridiculous isn't it? There's a set coming out this year and LEGO are more concerned about showcasing 2016 ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tariq j Posted September 29, 2015 It's ridiculous isn't it? There's a set coming out this year and LEGO are more concerned about showcasing 2016 ones. I will admit is annoying that we haven't got a set, but, it's not about what Lego are more concerned about, it's about what sets are ready to show and what are not. Obviously, for whatever reasons, Lego are not ready to reveal the Doctor Who set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was announced in February; if it's not ready to show seven months later then there's something seriously wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has to be, the picture in the catalog is completely final. I honestly don't know why the heck they're taking so long. Someone should e-mail them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it would do much use. People have tried asking them about it on Twitter and they just tease some news that never happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BritishBrickFan Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I have one question.... why do people expect the reveal to take place at an event in the US, when the "home" of Doctor Who is Britain? why would Lego make the effort to reveal a Doctor Who Lego set in any country outside of the UK? also.... given that this is a BBC-licenced set, presumably any reveal would have to be agreed with the BBC and they may be able to organise a "cool" reveal, involving perhaps Capaldi and/or Matt Smith?

Entire premiere events related to Doctor Who now happen here (especially in New York). It's a global phenomenon. A lot of the most recent big reveals of various Who-related media have taken place at US comic and pop culture conventions like NY and San Diego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deskp Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Dimensions dalek looks so much better. This one looks shambled together, where the dimensions one looks a lot more complete. Edited September 30, 2015 by deskp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie-Wan Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Wow, much better than the Dimensions one. Dimensions dalek looks so much better. This one looks shambled together, where the dimensions one looks a lot more complete. Well, there we go. The nice thing, though, is that if the top 2x2 dish is printed, it's presumably the same print as the one in the LEGO Dimensions Dalek (CM4Sci, can you verify or deny that?), and if everything else is an ordinary, non-Dalek-specific LEGO element, it should be a trivial matter to use a few extra bits to rebuild either one into another copy of the other one, if uniformity is desired. I think I like aspects of both, personally, and I think I'd therefore mod them both into some intermediate design (assuming I'm not using the LEGO Dimensions one for the game in one of its three builds). That said, given how TLG likes to change up the look of any sort of uniform, "army builder"-type figure in order to frustrate me personally , I suspect that if Doctor Who sees some longevity as a LEGO theme, we'll eventually get new Dalek elements with either different printing, special molds, or both.
