LEGO Doctor Who Set Revealed!
We all knew this was coming, and the time is finally here! The Doctor Who LEGO set has been revealed! It’s going to hit stores before Christmas – wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
The stuff dreams are made of
The set comes with both the 12th and 11th Doctors, as well as Clara Oswald, a Weeping Angel and two Daleks. It has both the TARDIS and the controlled room of the TARDIS. I think there’s also a fez in there somewhere. It looks pretty darn solid! Though I don’t necessarily think they got Peter Capaldi right. He doesn’t wear a bright purple jacket. They nailed Matt Smith perfectly, but Capaldi doesn’t sit right with me. He looks more like the 1st Doctor.
He’s definitely the 12th, though. It says so on the box. Check out more pictures Here.
But ah well, I’m not going to complain! The model looks great! It’s definitely going to join the Ghostbuster’s Ecto-1 LEGO set as things I must own someday.

Batman, Gandalf and The Doctor Team Up in a New Video Game
We all know that LEGOs help make dreams come true, but who knew they would take it this far? If this teaser trailer for the LEGO: Dimensions game doesn’t make you believe that anything is possible, nothing will!
LEGO is where this happens, people! LEGO is where Batman can team up with the Doctor and it all seems normal! LEGO is where the Doctor can pick Wyldstyle as his new companion! Man, I gotta get this game.

6 MORE Licensed Properties That Need LEGO Love
I may never get over the fact that The LEGO Movie was snubbed at the Oscars this past weekend. I’m thinking of taking it personally. Maybe organize some kind of grassroots petition? Whatever I end up doing (probably nothing), I will always remain a lifelong LEGO fan. And to honor the best movie of 2014 — since the Academy wouldn’t — I’ve decided to do a sequel List of Six to one from a few years ago.
What new franchises need to be made into LEGO?
Consider this at the top of every birthday or Christmas list I’ll ever have going forward
Walk down the LEGO aisle at the toy store these days and you’ll see Avengers, Ninja Turtles, Jurassic World, Harry Potter and more. We didn’t have branded LEGOs when I was a kid, but I would have given anything to have a real, fully licensed Ninja Turtles van and Turtle mini-figs. I have a LEGO Batmobile on my bookshelf right now, and I bought that well into my 20s. And someday the LEGO Ecto-1 will join it.
But if I could choose any LEGO franchise in the world, what would I want? After these first six options, of course.
And please note, most LEGO pictures on this list are fan creations I found online. Those that are built by fans are linked to the fan’s webpages. So let’s give it up to the fans!
Enjoy Some Fan Trailer Wackiness
The intrepid people of the Internet are at it again! I found a couple of fun fan trailers to spruce up our Tuesday!
First up is a pretty neat LEGO trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. It comes courtesy of Brickflix, who sound like this is what they do for a living, thereby making me extremely jealous.
Next up is a trailer for the Suicide Squad movie, done up by our friend and fan trailer aficionado Alex Luthor. It’s also pretty neat.
The important thing is that you enjoy this Tuesday. Of course, you might not all be as buried in snow and below zero temperatures as I am.

Doctor Who LEGOs are Happening!
I asked for it years ago, but now LEGO is making it official: Doctor Who LEGOs!
Just like the Ghostbusters last year, this new set comes via the LEGO Ideas crowd-produced program. Basically, LEGO lets fans design and submit their own LEGO models, and then everybody votes for the ones they want. Any idea that reaches 10,000 votes then goes before the LEGO review board and they pick the ones they want to make
And Doctor Who has made the cut!
No details have yet been released, but this is still pretty awesome news!
Though I still haven’t bought that Ghostbusters Ecot-1 set yet…
