rctneil Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Me too! Are we Sontaran clones? Well it's highly possible I guess! SONTAR HA! Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Well it's highly possible I guess! SONTAR HA! I shall quote your post in the glory of Sontar! Quote
LeoPx4x Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Let's hope for a reveal on the first October! I mean no one really thinks about this, so could it be? Quote

DuckBricks Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Anything would be better than November! Fingers crossed it will be revealed at BrickCon, the Lego convention in Seattle this weekend. Last year the UCS Slave 1 was revealed there, so I don't see why not. I'm going and am hoping to see it in person... Quote

DuckBricks Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I think they should have revealed it at San Diego ComicCon. It would have been the perfect opportunity. Agreed. Unfortunately, SDCC seems to be reserved for next year's sets... Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Agreed. Unfortunately, SDCC seems to be reserved for next year's sets... It's ridiculous isn't it? There's a set coming out this year and LEGO are more concerned about showcasing 2016 ones. Quote
Tariq j Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 It's ridiculous isn't it? There's a set coming out this year and LEGO are more concerned about showcasing 2016 ones. I will admit is annoying that we haven't got a set, but, it's not about what Lego are more concerned about, it's about what sets are ready to show and what are not. Obviously, for whatever reasons, Lego are not ready to reveal the Doctor Who set. Quote

Set is ( rumored to be ) 75098 Hoth Echo Base that's supposed to come out in October but we've heard 0 word of. Quote

Obviously, for whatever reasons, Lego are not ready to reveal the Doctor Who set. I don't see why it wouldn't be ready by now. It was announced in February; if it's not ready to show seven months later then there's something seriously wrong. Quote

I honestly don't know why the heck they're taking so long. Someone should e-mail them. Quote

BritishBrickFan Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I have one question.... why do people expect the reveal to take place at an event in the US, when the "home" of Doctor Who is Britain? why would Lego make the effort to reveal a Doctor Who Lego set in any country outside of the UK? also.... given that this is a BBC-licenced set, presumably any reveal would have to be agreed with the BBC and they may be able to organise a "cool" reveal, involving perhaps Capaldi and/or Matt Smith?

Entire premiere events related to Doctor Who now happen here (especially in New York). It's a global phenomenon. A lot of the most recent big reveals of various Who-related media have taken place at US comic and pop culture conventions like NY and San Diego. Quote
CM4Sci Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 Hey guys - here's something to discuss. This is what the new Dalek looks like (inside might not be accurate but the rest is) Quote
Sir Gareth Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Wow, much better than the Dimensions one. Thanks! Quote
CM4Sci Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 Wow, much better than the Dimensions one. Thanks! Yeah, no problem. I think I gotta start putting a giant red 'DO NOT ASK FOR PICTURE' whenever I post something on these threads... Quote
dmarvin Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 It looks a lot better than the Dimensions one. Do any of the pieces have printing? Quote

Robert8 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Already 8 months of waiting! I swear I know babies that have been conceived and born in less time Quote
Jared Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Hey guys - here's something to discuss. This is what the new Dalek looks like (inside might not be accurate but the rest is) Aw man, it looks great! Darn this excitement building! I can't take it! Wish they'd reveal it already! Waaargh, LEGO doctor Who!! Quote
Tariq j Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Thanks for the Picture! Looks excellent. Quote
deskp Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Dimensions dalek looks so much better. This one looks shambled together, where the dimensions one looks a lot more complete. Edited September 30, 2015 by deskp Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Wow, much better than the Dimensions one. Dimensions dalek looks so much better. This one looks shambled together, where the dimensions one looks a lot more complete. Well, there we go. The nice thing, though, is that if the top 2x2 dish is printed, it's presumably the same print as the one in the LEGO Dimensions Dalek (CM4Sci, can you verify or deny that?), and if everything else is an ordinary, non-Dalek-specific LEGO element, it should be a trivial matter to use a few extra bits to rebuild either one into another copy of the other one, if uniformity is desired. I think I like aspects of both, personally, and I think I'd therefore mod them both into some intermediate design (assuming I'm not using the LEGO Dimensions one for the game in one of its three builds). That said, given how TLG likes to change up the look of any sort of uniform, "army builder"-type figure in order to frustrate me personally , I suspect that if Doctor Who sees some longevity as a LEGO theme, we'll eventually get new Dalek elements with either different printing, special molds, or both.
