Since the announcement earlier this year that LEGO would start allowing submissions for Doctor Who related sets via its LEGO Cuusoo site, now LEGO Ideas, a bunch of concepts and ideas have been submitted, with two separate quickly gaining the necessary 10,000 votes to enter LEGO’s review stage.
The first set that reached that milestone was heavily Matt Smith influenced, but also featured ideas for the Tenth Doctor’s TARDIS, and additional sets. The second set that reached 10,000 votes focused more on the Doctor and his companions and featured a great TARDIS interior set.
The latest Doctor Who inspired set to appear on the LEGO Ideas page that I think has a shot at reaching the 10,000 votes milestone, comes from a user called Concore and is based entirely around the Doctor’s very first outing in An Unearthly Child.
This set includes the entrance to 76 Totter’s Lane, where the First Doctor parked his TARDIS so his granddaughter Susan could visit the local Coal Hill School to learn about the twentieth century, but her strange unworldly behavior intrigues two of the staff members; history teacher Barbara Wright and Science teacher Ian Chesterton, who decide to visit Susan at home, only to find Susan entering the mysterious junkyard!
The Minifigures
The minifigures included in this set are as always the Doctor and his companions; the First Doctor(played by William Hartnell), his eager granddaughter Susan (Carol Ann-Ford), the skillful Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and the empathic Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill).
The TARDIS
No Doctor Who set would be complete without a TARDIS, and this set is no exception. Arguably more iconic than the Doctor himself, the space and time machine has been a staple of the show since day one (as represented here) a clever mix of visionary design and budgetary constrains, the idea for a humble police box to become a Type 40 TARDIS was ingenious. Now you can visit different locations across the LEGO universe and create new stories with your own TARDIS. With a little help from the TARDIS, the Doctor can collide with characters from Pirates, Castle, Ninjago, Chima, The Hobbit, Blacktron and more!
“I know that free movement in time and space is a scientific dream I don’t expect to find solved in a junkyard!” Ian Chesterton
The Junkyard
The junkyard as first visited in ‘An Unearthly Child’ has been featured a number of times in Doctor Who history, mostly during the shows anniversaries; The Sixth Doctor in ‘Attack of the Cybermen’, the Seventh Doctor in ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ and most recently in the fiftieth anniversary special ‘The Day of the Doctor’ with David Tennant’s and Matt Smith’s Doctors.
This set, if produced would contain 4 minifigures, the TARDIS and Junkyard Street Diorama.
