Will this one come available outside Lego or will it be exclusive like birds?

In The Netherlands? Very, very limited. Some toy stores that specialise in Lego some times offer these Ideas sets as a courtesy to customers, but at best for the same price as Lego sells them in LEGO Shop at Home, and commonly marked up with €5. More as a service to people who either don't know about Lego LEGO Shop at Home or who are reluctant to order from online for one reason or another.

I ordered a Scooby Doo van with mine which is OOS until 7th December so I do not expect for mine to ship until then,

I am going to a B&M store on Friday and will attempt to clear the shelves.

I think these could sell out today in USA Lego retail stores...anyone else?

Anyone expect to see it at tru today?

Limit 1. Yikes!

It's not an exclusive - at least in the UK.

Only from resellers.  It's Dr. Who for crying out loud?

Yup. Knowing the DW fandom, this is going to be a hotcake. At least before Christmas.

 

Ebay UK price looking at the SOLD listing is averaging £65-£70 with one going for £90.

It's got the Tardis, the "control room", and two of the most iconic "villains" in the show, the daleks and the weeping angel.  There's a lot to like in this set.

...but it needs people who care enough to buy it.

True.

No doubt about that, but this set is exactly on point in trying to appeal to the Doctor Who fan.  If you asked a Doctor Who fan what they would want in a set, this has it.  So Lego didn't miss appealing to the target audience, now the question is how big that audience is.   I'll be getting some for a Christmas flip.

And a report of 15 people lined up to buy it on release day?  How many were lined up to buy the Mystery Machine?

And it has no ragrets must be a winner...

All I remember when I was a kid was wanting to turn the station when this came on.  No offense but zero for me.

I pretty much shared this experience as a kid.  Although, I am willing to give the modern version a shot, just haven't made time for it yet.

I turned the channel when I was a kid too.  But the modern version has been fantastic.  My wife's boys grew up watching it on Netflix with her and love the show.

I'm not sure what it was.  Maybe the accents I couldn't quite follow without missing something or if it was because something better was always on.  Maybe I should give it a go with the return and a 35 years older me.  Box looks appealing...;)

Well, the special effects were pretty crap back then.  And it just didn't compare to the action in Transformers.  If you have Netflix, go load up the episode called "Blink".  That's the one with the weeping angels and is probably one of the best episodes they have.

Doctor Who is on par with the original star trek series and the not so great effects are part of the charm. They have improved since it began and some of the stories are pretty damn good. The last 6 years are all very watchable. I picked up two from SAH + GBH..............=)

Doctor Who has been around a couple years longer than the original Star Trek and here we are decades later both still well known to be talked about let alone LEGO having just designed for release this set on the Doctor while Mega Bloks tackles Star Trek (again). True both series have their share of special effects considered laughable by today's standards, the sometimes confounding weak plots to go along with a cast spouting often cheesy dialogue; however the same can be said of many other classic b-movies and public television series during, before, even after those years. Despite everything (including age), they remain quite enjoyable in a 'less serious more fun' way reminiscent of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 overtone.

Anyway there is no doubt the market is there. We wouldn't even have this topic for starters if it wasn't.
