BrickOn Posted September 30, 2015 Sure but since the bbc has update the Dalek look countless times, I think its okay to have a bit of variation... last episode we even saw the different models interacting so you could even have different versions all in one scene and still remain true to the show. But then you just get lots of different factions in one massive army of Daleks :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted September 30, 2015 Dimensions dalek looks so much better. This one looks shambled together, where the dimensions one looks a lot more complete. Agreed. I prefer the look of the Dimensions one. This design looks shockingly fanmade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deskp Posted September 30, 2015 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). You don't actually need the bricks to make the game work. just the base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie-Wan Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) You don't actually need the bricks to make the game work. just the base. Well, sure, if you want to suck all the fun out of it, but then why play with either LEGO or videogames in the first place? I know full well the pad can't actually tell what figure is on a base (as we all have since long before it was released), much less exactly how the bricks are positioned, but I like the idea of actually rebuilding when doing so in game. Besides, using the physical build variations can help one remember exactly which in-game build one left the figure in when the game is off. This might be particularly useful if one gets multiples of a given pack for the game, as I'm considering doing with this very pack.

But then you just get lots of different factions in one massive army of Daleks :-) Agreed, but these two look farther apart from each other than most "real" Daleks do. For minifigure-scale LEGO building purposes, I think most Dalek variations are probably best handled with simple color variation. OTOH, the I think it would be great to vary the Cybermen by having some with the nice new mold seen in the LEGO Dimensions pack, and others using the clever "no new molds" version in AndrewClark2's original Ideas project (using a 1x1 plate with clip and a bucket handle atop a standard minifigure head).

dmarvin Posted September 30, 2015 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. I think that's fine, really, because the look of the Daleks has changed with all of the different iterations of them that have appeared during the show's tenure. I can't wait to build red and blue ones using the same schematic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't wait to build red and blue ones using the same schematic. So just to be clear, we're getting "power ranger" daleks in the IDEAS set rather than the bronze revival ones? I'm a little confused, and if that's the case, VERY glad I've ordered two copies of the Dalek/Cyberman pack.... ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Nemo Posted September 30, 2015 I'm a bit iffy on the new supposed Dalek design. I don't think the Dimensions one is perfect granted, but I might like it more than this new one. I'm not super set on either color (although I wish we could get gunmetal ones, but Lego rarely uses that color for system pieces), but what I really don't like about it is the lack of a complete black band around the bottom. I think it looks strange the there is only black on the sides, and there's a huge noticeable gap right in the center. Still, I won't pass up any Dalek, or Cybermen, or Weeping Angel (are we getting those? Can't remember. I really hope so). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickBob Studpants Posted October 1, 2015 They're talking about a "BIG" reveal... Sure it'd be big to us, but I think it's something directly show-related instead (new companion?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CM4Sci Posted October 1, 2015 Probably some episode thing, don't count on it being LEGO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpiderSpaceman Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Probably some episode thing, don't count on it being LEGO. If it was Lego they certainly would have said a "little reveal" to be cheeky. Lego parts are little! And it wouldn't miff people who don't think Lego is worth calling a big reveal. But I personally really really wanna see that set. I was about to say it'd be my first ideas set, but remembered I have the minecraft and the classic space mech. Thankful for dimensions softening the blow of the delorean I missed.

Mattah12 Posted October 1, 2015 Yea sadly I think its probably the new companion, which means that the Ideas set will already be outdated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattah12 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Ok, it's just a spin-off http://www.bbc.co.uk...kname=corporate EDIT - On topic, I'll be really excited to get the Weeping Angel to pose next to my CMF gargoyles. Especially after seeing how scary they managed to make them in Dimensions. Edited October 1, 2015 by Mattah12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
