Doctor Who LEGO is upon us! Get it before it sells out!

The box is surely going to be bigger on the inside, right? And there’s a picture of Matt Smith’s minifig, hidden down in the corner!

Put aside your jelly babies and hang up your stripy scarves, for Doctor Who is all set to regenerate into brick form. That’s right, on 1st December, you’ll be able to get your hands on possibly the most eagerly awaited LEGO IDEAS kit yet – The TARDIS.

What a beauty! And it even has the little St John’s Ambulance badge!

Encompassing the worlds of the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors, the LEGO set comes with minifigs of both Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi, as well as Clara Oswald, two Weeping Angels and two rather spangly Daleks. And of course you get an open set of the inside of the TARDIS, as well as the compact, police phone box. It all links together very nicely!

The set is retailing at about £49.99 and is surely going to be one of the must-have presents for Christmas. These special IDEAS kits have a habit of selling out, so be there on the 1st of December with your credit cards at the ready!

Some lovely details in there, and not an electric guitar in sight. Although I’m sure you could pop one in.

DON’T BLINK! They’ll turn you into brick!

How easy would it be to turn these into Davros? Get your minifig heads at the ready!

And if you wanted to add a K-9 to your TARDIS, it’s dead easy if you have the bits lying around. Here’s one I made earlier, though if you do a search, there are many youtube videos of people making them. They all look a bit different, but that’s the beauty of LEGO, innit!

I made this out of about 15 LEGO pieces. Very simple, and with a lovely moving head and tail.
