So LEGO CUUSOO made a post today stating that licensing issues over Doctor Who projects have been resolved. Don't know what this means for the Character Building license, but it leaves me somewhat optimistic. :3

Zero Room

I'm curious to see where this goes. I'd love to see Doctor Who LEGO, but the price some sets go for is a massive turn off for me.

Hmmm, you've got a point about the price, but at least the quality of the sets would be good. Also, Zero Room. Thanks!

In my opinion, though, comparing the value of Character Options and LEGO, I'd go for LEGO anytime. :D I've always felt that LEGO sets were just so worth it because of how sturdy the bricks are and how well-designed everything is. They're a premium brand in my eyes and I really hope they never compromise too much on that front.

While I don't disagree that LEGO's quality is higher, I don't want to see them attempt to charge £250 for a huge TARDIS set like they are with the Metalbeard Sea Cow set for the LEGO movie. I just don't think that would go down well with Doctor Who.

So my brother has been nagging me to watch an episode entitled "Daleks in Manhattan." I keep saying no and he keeps asking me why which basically causes me to give the same argument which pretty much goes like this.

"Is it the third episode of Ninth's season?"
"No..."
"Then I don't care about it at the moment."

Am I being to irrational here? Because he won't shut up about it and it makes me feel like I'm the bad guy.

No, because not only is it 2 seasons ahead of where you are but its also a pretty disappointing story :lol

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. :lol

Well, the Metalbeard Sea Cow set is more of the exception than the norm. It's one of those collector-oriented sets. For a TARDIS I'd probably guess a $60-80 set with just the central console (no walls).

Truthfully you'll probably get less parts per piece compared to Character Options, but it may not necessarily mean the sets are Metalbeard Sea Cow worthy. :lol

Eh, I still feel that's too much for something that's going to mainly be aimed at kids if LEGO ever considered doing a Doctor Who range. If it was one or two collector orientated sets then that's a different story.

LEGO is expensive for what it is and official licenses really don't help that matter. And this is coming from someone who was a diehard LEGO collector in the late 90s/early 00s.
