Doctor Who LEGO Sets Coming Soon

LONDON: The LEGO Group is working on a special set for the long-running sci-fi drama Doctor Who.

The concept for a Doctor Who set came from the LEGO Ideas website, where fans can submit ideas for a set and vote for their favorite idea to be produced. A licensing agreement between BBC Worldwide and The LEGO Group will see the new set available in all of The LEGO Group’s key markets before the end of the year.

Marcus Arthur, the managing director of BBC Worldwide UK, said, “Both Doctor Who and LEGO enjoy a particularly close relationship with their fans and I can’t wait to see what LEGO produce.”

Emma Owen, the U.K. spokesperson for LEGO Ideas, commented: “We’re extremely excited to announce that a Doctor Who and a WALL-E set will be released as our next LEGO Ideas fan based sets, congratulations to the designers Andrew Clark and Angus MacLane!

“After receiving over 10,000 votes from the online community and having gone through rigorous toy testing from our expert panel, these awesome sets are on track to be on shelves later this year. The final set designs, pricing and availability are being worked out as we speak, so watch this space for the final details!”
