Product ideas that receive 10,000 or more votes move ahead to the next stage in the process: A formal review by LEGO's experts, who test each set, assess the potential marketing opportunity and determine how the new product might fit in the current product mix.
Only a handful of ideas are chosen for production during the year and this is the year for Doctor Who. Of course, LEGO had to negotiate a license, because the BBC owns the intellectual property rights. The current Doctor, Peter Capaldi, will be depicted on one of the minifigures, but other decisions (such as a companion figure and other characters) remain to be announced. Will Daleks be included with the set? Stone angels? Stay tuned.
