The new set features the 12th Doctor and his companion, Clara Oswald, in the Tardis, his bigger-on-the-inside police box spaceship. If the current iteration of the Doctor isn’t your cup of tea, the set also includes a minifig of the Eleventh Doctor (and his fez) as well as a few of the Time Lord’s enemies, a Weeping Angel and two Daleks.  The kit that is now for sale was originally suggested by fan Andrew Clark via LEGO’s popular [LEGO Ideas crowdsourcing community](https://ideas.lego.com/projects/59181). The [BBC](http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/worldwide/2015/doctor-who-lego), which produces the world’s longest running sci-fi drama (it premiered way back in 1963), and LEGO teamed up to make the set a reality. Clark logged on to the LEGO site today to express his excitement. “I’m very proud to see it on the LEGO website. I hope people enjoy the build,” he [wrote](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Doctor-Who-21304). It was the LEGO Ideas site that brought the [_Big Bang Theory_ Lego set](http://time.com/3907021/big-bang-theory-legos/) to stores. Sadly, LEGO announced that they will not make fans’ cheesecake-eating dreams come true and release the [suggested _Golden Girls_ set.](http://time.com/3813475/golden-girls-lego-set/) As with most of the LEGO Ideas sets, it’s likely that the _Doctor Who_ set will be wildly popular. Or in Whovian speak: Don’t blink, because they might sell out. If _Doctor Who_ LEGO isn’t enough to keep you entertained while waiting for Peter Jackson to make up his mind, you can always dress up your [Welsh Corgi like the Doctor](http://time.com/4079724/corgi-doctor-who/).  ## Transcript >> President of the United States that I will faithfully execute the office. >> Power is a lot like real estate.
