While we already got 2 variants of him I would like season 9 version of 12th (wearing hoodie and sonic sunglasses, guitar also wouldn't hurt). 5th, 10th and War Doctors would also be great.

While speaking of what minifigs we would like to get I would love to get Missy.

Hey,the 12th Doctor with Sonic Sunglasses and Guitar?Let`s just add a Tank to this Set and that weird Snakeman (btw,that was somehow the most overexaggerated Scene in the whole New Who Scene ever,right?I mean good old Doctor riding on a Tank,with Sunglasses and Guitar....weird but cool)

And Missy as a Minifigure?Can we even handle that much awesomeness?Na,would be cool to have her but also the old Incarnations.

I`m thinking that the Doctor Who License with all that 50 Years History would be a great License for Lego.There aren`t that many noticable Vehicles in the Show like in Star Wars,but many interesting and cool Places to turn into Playsets.

Why, when no previous Doctor is in the episode the set would be based on unless its Deep Breath?

Just like the set we got they added 11th doctor in his classic outfit, that was never in that episode or that tardis set on screen, but they added it to be cool and increase the value of the set.

it makes sense to make 12th doctor sets since that's on tv, but in order to make the sets more desireable stick another doctor in each set so people can collect.

Yeah but the 11th Doctor was in Time of the Doctor; it was his regeneration story. It would make no sense to stick his Doctor in a Robot of Sherwood set, for example.

Just stick one or two characters from that episode in. The Magician's Apprentice set with 12, Clara and Missy, for example.

Its about about making sense or the story, its about making the set interesting and desirable.

We already got 2 versions of the 12th doctor and 1 Clara. The extra doctor would be in addition to whatever else was in the set.

Besides msto of the time Doctor who doesent make sense, its just about the fun.

Doesn't matter. It would be a bit silly doing LEGO Doctor Who sets featuring a minifigure that doesn't belong in it.

It's never stopped Lego before and I'm sure they'll do it multiple time again in the future. Celebration Leia in a Y-Wing set? Han Solo with an A-Wing and Ackbar? Random villains in the Scooby sets?

Target audience on an extended license will be kids... Having a variation of minifigs will help sell regardless of whether Whovians can accurately place the set in the context of a particular series.

But it would confuse some kids anyway, like those who started from series 8 of the new series. If a Tom Baker minifigure was randomly thrown in (to use an example), they would be wondering who he is and what he's doing in the set.

But that doesn't mean they won't do it. The example you chose, maybe not, but if Lego did a Dalek Ship, they could throw in Doctors 9 and Ten because they both faced them off in their era's respectively.

If it was more of a generic set and not based on a specific episode, then yeah including other Doctors would make more sense. But not shoehorning them into sets based on a specific Doctor's era. They should be unique to each Doctor because every era of the show has a different distinctive style.

It would certainly be anachronistic, but on the other hand the vast majority of potential customers has probably never seen a William Hartwell episode and thus they're unlikely to sell well. So it's about the only way, short of something like collectable minifigures, of getting a figure of those characters.

I'd definitely love to get a Jack Harkness figure somewhere in this. Mostly because I'd use the head for Malcom Merlyn. But he'd be cool to get anyway.

I disagree, for William Hartnell I think you could do a set based on the Dalek City from The Daleks and people would buy it (especially when the city later returned in The Magician's Apprentice).

Imho, the best way to handle the license from Lego's point of view would be the Simpsons route.

Put out a CMF series comprising the first 6 Doctors and an assorment of the supporting cast, with a single set that could be related to the best episode from that era. Then a second CMF later with the remaining Doctors, more supporting cast and a second set related to the latter half of the original series. We already have the upcoming set that should satisfy the post 05 relaunch. Just a thought, as a full blown theme would be preferred, but on the more difficult side to pin down locations without neglecting fans various wishes.

I hate to say it, but I honestly don't see more Doctor Who products in future unless it becomes more mainstream with kids. Remember LEGO has a target audience of children, so a CMF series or even a theme sounds ridiculous. Simpsons are well known and recognisable amongst children (because what child doesn't know the Simpsons?), plus their characters have such a bright colour palate which again is appealing to the target audience. Doctor Who wouldn't work in a CMF series because their characters are lacking in colour and creativity. You have the grey Cybermen. The black and white Silent. And the onslaught of boring civilian dressed characters. A child doesn't know how who Jack Harkness is, nor do they care. So when they get him or any other dull character over a guy in a pig suit or a Homer or whatever else, they'll be let down and use his pieces for another character, something i think someone else in this forum said they'd do too. And with sets, I mean come on. An 8 year old isn't going to look in the LEGO isle and beg for the Doctor Who set over the Batman or the Princess or Simpsons or Pirates etc. etc. I'd love to get more Doctor Who content but the reality is it's not appealing to kids, and LEGO's priority is keeping their target audience happy. Although saying that, I can see more character's appearing in Dimensions packs maybe...

The best way for LEGO to handle this license from their point of view (which is remember making money) is to keep Doctor Who into these exclusive little stand alone sets and out of the content kids see on shelves. Hate to be the pessimist but let's be real guys.

I hate to say it, but I honestly don't see more Doctor Who products in future unless it becomes more mainstream with kids.

Last time I checked, Doctor Who was a family show adored by kids.

Simpsons are well known and recognisable amongst children (because what child doesn't know the Simpsons?)

Whilst kids do watch Simpsons, I would say Doctor Who is a lot more popular with kids than Simpsons is. Simpsons is a primetime family sitcom mainly enjoyed by adults but still appropriate for children. Doctor Who is a primetime family drama enjoyed both by adults and kids and has a massive fanbase of children outside of the internet. What kid doesn't want to run around the school playground playing Doctor VS Daleks?

plus their characters have such a bright colour palate which again is appealing to the target audience. Doctor Who wouldn't work in a CMF series because their characters are lacking in colour and creativity. You have the grey Cybermen. The black and white Silent.

The red Zygon, the golden brown Sontaran, the green Silurian, the currently-dressed-in-purple Master (or 'Missy').... I could go on.

And the onslaught of boring civilian dressed characters.

I wouldn't call Mickey, Rose, Clara, Ian, Barbara, Susan, Sarah Jane etc.... boring.

A child doesn't know how who Jack Harkness is, nor do they care.

Yes, they do know who he is. And yes, they do care.

Captain Jack Harkness was last seen in The End of Time. And who was a part of that two parter's audience?

Kids.

So when they get him or any other dull character over a guy in a pig suit or a Homer or whatever else, they'll be let down and use his pieces for another character, something i think someone else in this forum said they'd do too.

There is nothing 'boring' about Captain Jack Harkness. He is a time travelling conman from the 51st century who used to be a Time Agent until two years of his life were erased by the Time Agents of the Time Agency.

He worked for a secret organisation situated in Cardiff called 'UNIT'.

He is immortal.

None of that is 'boring' and wouldn't be 'boring' to any kid with any ounce of imagination.

And with sets, I mean come on. An 8 year old isn't going to look in the LEGO isle and beg for the Doctor Who set over the Batman or the Princess or Simpsons or Pirates etc. etc.

Says who?

The Doctor is a hugely popular pop-culture character and kids frequently buy the merchandise associated with the Doctor Who brand. You only need the Doctor Who name for any merchandise to sell. I think kids absolutely would buy LEGO Doctor Who sets over Batman or Simpsons because it's more imaginative and the concept of a 2000 year old Time/Space Traveller from the planet Gallifrey travelling in a police box screams 'school playground game' more than, say, a wealthy businessman turn detective who wears a bat costume or a family man who often goes to the nearest bar to get drunk and is hopeless at his job.

@Coca Cola: I respectfully disagree, at this point the DW set isn't even on sale yet so there is no evidence whatsoever to say that Doctor Who will not sell well as the Simpsons or Visa Versa, and at the same time there is no evidence to suggest that Kids like The Simpsons more than Doctor Who, or Visa Versa. I also get a bit confused over the whole "X theme won't sell well", we, the customer are not meant to know what themes will or have sold well nor are we meant to know what themes will not or have not sold well. Also, one thing you have to consider is that you, or any of us for that matter, are 10yr olds, so I would argue it would be somewhat unfair and biased to say as an AFOL what children would and would not like.

Regardless of what children or AFOL's like or not, I think it is highly unlikely we will see a Doctor Who theme or CMF series.

Dude don't even attempt to say Doctor Who is more popular with children than Simpsons. I like DW more. But i didn't know he exsisted until i moved here. I grew up on simpsons. My family watched it. My friends watched it. My friends even had video games of the simpsons. And there are so many good set ideas that could come Doctor Who. But don't let your personal feelings cloud the reality, I mean it's a cartoon family sit com played at prime time. i guarantee (in Australia) a child is more likely to recognise Homer than the Doctor. And i didn't mean the characters were boring or dull. They are interesting, just not visually intriguing. And yes there are exceptions but they are either very vague/ underused characters or nowhere near as bright and inviting as the yellow cartoony look from simpsons or the actual CMF characters with the assortment of characters in there. Captain Jack and the whole mythology is incredibly fascinating but again. the majority of kids who don't watch the show and don't know the characters would much rather a cool gorilla suit guy than a guy with a scarf and a cool hat. The superheroes and disney themes are also more popular. There are a handful of disney and comicbook movies that these children have most likely seen over Doctor Who. Go in to the toy section of a store and what licences do you see? Superheroes, disney and star wars etc. Doctor Who is also not exactly marketed to 5-10 year olds. neither is Simpsons but dr. who has scarier, creepier scenes. There are always going to be kids who know of a show ahead of their age groups but c'mon. weeping angels are terrifying, the scariest thing simpsons have is mr. burns. It might be different in the UK but here and in America (where i lived in for 12 years and never even knew doctor who exsisted) wouldn't sell well to children. Lego wants to make money. Not make a group of AFOL's happy. Don't get upset because I gave an opinion on Doctor Who you didn't agree with. I love DW. I do. I personally just cannot it see it moving forward from a business stand-point. Thats my opinion.

To each their own, but (and I don't know whether you were talking about Dalek Busters comment or my own) I did not try to imply or say that Simpsons was more liked than Doctor Who, I'm a Simpsons fan as well. We may get a theme, we may not. And I agree with you, Lego is about making Money and appealing to children. That's why Lego do themes Like superheroes and Star Wars because they sell well.

I unfortunately agree with Coca-Cola. Even though im a Whovian till death, i cant see that LEGO would be able to make a lot of sets for LEGO Doctor Who. Imo they will be far to similiar. Also the fanbase for Doctor Who since 2005, might have been improving, but mostly in the united states. And overall its the UK that has always been ground zero.

Also the new series for this year have had way fever viewers. So many that there might not be a full series next year.

I hope im proved wrong. Ive been along the fanbase that have been fighting on Cuusoo and LEGO ideas and FB groups to get Doctor Who and LEGO to cooperate.

And it has finally happened to an extend we never thought possible 5 years ago.

For me getting both Doctor Who for a LEGO Game and a Doctor Who set, and even a very nice one indeed makes me happy, thats all i wanted.

But as with most other discussions going on here about what the future brings, we can yell back and forth trying to make each other change our minds. Im not into that. This is just my oppinion on it.

Just as every other has theirs. Lets se what happens in the future.

That may be true in Australia, but here in the UK go into any toy store and it is literally swamped with Doctor Who merchandise for kids. It easily dwarfs things like Simpson's merchandise (which has vastly tailed off since it's heyday)

It's true in the US, as well. Well... not "swamped" with merchandise, exactly, but I can still go into a toy store, a comics shop or a bookstore here and easily find a lot more Doctor Who merchandise than I can for The Simpsons - or for that matter, The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings, (an)other franchise(s) for which LEGO has had a theme that wasn't as large as people would like but which was actually pretty substantial. If the amount of merchandise currently available from other companies for The Simpsons and Middle-Earth is any kind of indication of how well they sell, I think there's room for cautious hope Doctor Who could get at least as much stuff from LEGO as The Simpsons and Middle-Earth have, and that wouldn't be bad at all (granted that all three combined are dwarfed by Star Wars, of course, but still).

(It's true there was a period in the early 1990s when there was a ridiculous amount of The Simpsons merchandise around, but of course I'm speaking of the merchandising landscape of today.)

I can only assume you and Coca Cola are being sarcastic because there's over 50 years of potential LEGO can mine for Doctor Who sets and all they'd need to do is stick the Doctor Who brand on for it to sell more than DC and Marvel superheroes combined. The show has a massive fanbase, is in no danger (the viewing figures are because of a change of viewing habits) and will easily be popular with kids.

If you're right, I'll be very shocked.

Thats a cool fact. But if you read my earlier posts you can see that I said Disney, comic book heroes, star wars etc. was what sells well in a toy store and is sold on masses. In comic/ game shops they sell Doctor Who merch the same way they would Walking Dead. Like yes, it's big and beloved franchise but nothing in sales compared to the Avengers and Frozen. I only used compared Doctor Who to Simpsons when talking about the CMF sets, stating the brighter, more child friendly appearance would be more appealing to those who didn't know either DW or Simpsons. Having lived in the States for a while and coming home just 2 years ago, I know for a fact that superheroes and disney dominates doctor who with their merch.

First off, we aren't being sarcastic, pessimistic maybe, but "real" would be the word you're looking for. Second, lets not pretend most of the shows fans, me included, went back all the way to the first doctor. Majority of us started with the ninth, wikipedia'd the rest and maybe watched clips on youtube of the interesting parts you read about. 50 years of content with only 10 years being deemed important by the non-diehard fans. Not everyone is a die hard fan like yourself and wouldn't want to shell out 40 bucks on characters they won't recognise. If it doesn't include a 9th-current doctor chances of the set selling well compared to anything is a gamble. And there is a large and portion of children, globally who don't even know who the doctor is. Everyone knows the Avengers. Everyone has seen Batman. If not the comics, than the movies or cartoons, toys, games, billboards etc. etc. Maybe a Doctor Who theme would dominate Superheroes in the UK exclusively but saying it would sell more than Marvel and DC worldwide is ridiculous even for a fanboy. And in the 50 years of content there isn't much that they can turn into a set. The Tardis. And then what? Another Tardis? Dude i don't think you realise how much i want sets. I do really want a fully blown theme from this, heck it may inspire me to watch the original 40 years of content. But as my original post said I personally can't see it happening for the reasons i think i have made clear enough.. If that upsets you that i expressed my (pessimistic) view on the matter I'm sorry. But I just can't see it happening.

Now lets put this to rest. I didn't mean to start a debate on here, we are all going to have opinions that collide in everything that exists, you know? Lets have a friendly conversation about Doctor Who like Mr. Sir Gareth intended when he started this mighty fine thread.
