The next Doctor is a much bigger global event than the next Bond. The next actor to play the Doctor is literally announced in front of a massive global audience now - in 2013 it got its own half-hour show devoted completely to announcing Peter Capaldi as the next incarnation, and last year they shot a whole reveal video that was aired during a major sporting event revealing the first female Doctor (a gigantic TV event comparable only to the fiftieth anniversary special The Day of the Doctor). James Bond would be lucky to have anything more than a two minute news story on BBC News showing who the next James Bond is. Doctor Who's fiftieth anniversary had an entire week of TV Specials devoted to it , and a feature-length movie (which sold out immediately in cinemas - not a mean feat when cinema has lost popularity in recent years) with the two most popular Doctors ever to grace screens returning in in David Tennant and Tom Baker, and one of the biggest film stars of all time in the late Sir John Hurt. James Bond's fiftieth anniversary only had one film with no returning James Bonds and a bunch of cheap men's fragrances that probably make you smell nothing like Daniel Craig. I can name far more who have seen a Doctor Who episode than a James Bond film. Doctor Who is a much bigger global franchise; just look at the number of viewers it attracts worldwide. James Bond has gained more popularity under Daniel Craig, but doesn't attract anywhere near as much media frenzy. James Bond wants to be as popular as Doctor Who, but it will never have a 'James Bond Week' of TV Specials.

But it should be in order to be comprehendible. Incredibles first, then Incredibles 2. That's basic logic.

You've got to be joking. James Bond is hugely popular, but it's a fraction of the popularity of Doctor Who. You don't have live shows announcing the next James Bond, or James Bond World Tours. The Doctor Who sets made a fortune for LEGO. They sold out in no time, yet for some reason they think James Bond is more popular.

That's ridiculously stupid. Who do they expect will buy two versions of the same set?

A bit of an insult to Whovians for LEGO to make James Bond sets over more Doctor Who ones. I know which would make them more money, and it's not LEGO James Bond.

The D2C microscale Hogwarts thing is obviously fake. They won't do Hogwarts twice. It'll be Diagon Alley.

Very odd decision. It must make it a little jumbled up.

But I'm not talking about real companies, I'm talking about if they created a fake LEGO knock-off brand that Finn is using with the LEGO. I really don't think LEGO would have as big an issue with it as you think, given that we're talking about a fake brand anyway.

They're real companies, not fake.

Neither do fake companies...

Not really an issue. Just make them look however they would in the film.

Plenty of other TV Series and films do it. There are lots of examples of fake TV Shows and films inside TV Shows and films. It would really be no different.

As others' have said, I'm not even convinced Friends are the enemy. Would LEGO want to portray their own product as the enemy?

I think you're right. I think this one is basically just a cheap film tie-in for Traveller's Tales, whereas LEGO DC Supervillains is more of a passion project.

They wouldn't though, because the cheap knock-off would be the big bad of the movie.
