Doctor Who LEGO Set!!

 Attention all Whovians! There is now an official LEGO set for Doctor Who! It came out in time for Christmas and we just got our set today, thanks to some Christmas money.
    It comes with the TARDIS, the console room, two Daleks, 11, 12, Clara, and a weeping angel.
 The control room.
 The TARDIS opens up and attaches to the control room to form the entrance. It even has the round things!
You can see in the picture that we're missing one of the 1x2 grilles.
 The outside of the TARDIS.
 For you non-Whovians out there, the TARDIS is a spaceship that's bigger on the inside. It travels in time, and anywhere else. The name is an acronym for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It has a chameleon circuit that allows it to blend into it's surrounding, but it landed in the 60's and got stuck as a Police Box.
 Close up of the console. So many buttons!
 The control panel on the railing. The one on the other side is the same.
 To open the TARDIS, you remove the top (attached by just two studs) and flip up the police box signs.
 Then, you can pull it open and attach it to the console room.
 This technic piece plugs into the technic brick under the door.
 Even the under side of the console has details.
 The console is several sections, held on by clips.
 Now onto the minifigures.
Here is the twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi. He features his typical scowly face and attack eyebrows, his purple jacket and his old screwdriver.
 Here is the eleventh Doctor, played by Matt Smith.
Bow ties are cool.
 And here's Clara, companion to 11 and 12.
 Clara and Eleven have alternate expressions, though twelve keeps the same face.
 Eleven comes with a fez!
I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool.
If you are wondering why I am referring to the characters as numbers, the Doctor is a Timelord, an alien who can change his appearance to avoid death. 11 and 12 are different incarnations of the same person.
 The set also includes a weeping angel, which first appeared in the season three episode 'Blink' which if you aren't a Whovian, is a good one to start with.
 The angel's head turns around to reveal its scary face!
Don't blink!
 The set also comes with two Daleks.
EXTERMINATE!!
 The TARDIS can also hold a minifigure!
 Two studs outside the door allow a minifigure to be attached and the TARDIS can be closed with it inside.
 Unfortunately, the front doors don't actually open. It opens up in the back to attach it to the console room.
 One more shot of the Doctor and Clara in the TARDIS!
The set is available on Amazon for 70 dollars. (I got it on sale for 60) If you love Doctor Who, this is definitely worth the purchase! Me and my brother have been playing with it all afternoon after assembling it.
