The new set was suggested by Andrew Clark via Lego’s popular [LEGO Ideas crowdsourcing community](https://ideas.lego.com/projects/59181). And while Clark was not the first to propose a _Doctor Who-_LEGO crossover, it was the first one to be approved, thanks to what the [_Daily Mail_ describes](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2939916/Lego-signs-multi-million-pound-deal-BBC-create-Dr-set-complete-Tardis-Daleks-Cybermen-hit-shelves-time-Christmas.html) as a “multi-million pound deal.” “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,” [said](http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/worldwide/2015/doctor-who-lego) Emma Owen, the UK spokesperson for LEGO Ideas. While it has not yet been announced what LEGO’s final product will look like, Clark’s suggested set includes a TARDIS that opens, a Dalek, a Cyberman and a Weeping Angel. This above video contains Clark’s prototype and if LEGO’s version is close, it will be a must-have for Whovians across the galaxy come next Christmas. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3697478/doctor-who-official-lego-set/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3697478/doctor-who-official-lego-set/"},"headline":"Doctor Who Is Finally Getting An Official LEGO Set","datePublished":"2015-02-05T19:37:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:35.067Z","description":"Don't blink or it might sell out.","url":"https://time.com/3697478/doctor-who-official-lego-set/","keywords":["Newsfeed","doctor who","Lego","Toys","BBC"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3697478/doctor-who-official-lego-set/","name":"Doctor Who Is Finally Getting An Official LEGO Set"}}]}] ```
