LEGO Doctor Who: It's coming soon ...

Fans of Doctor Who, rejoice, LEGO will soon be offering you a set based on the British TV series.

The Cuusoo project promising tardis, Daleks and various and varied minifigs bearing the likeness of some of the central characters of this series with exceptional longevity has just gathered 10.000 supporters in the space of a few weeks and the timing is revealing: LEGO had announced on February 25 last that projects based on this license were now accepted on the Cuusoo platform. Immediately, several projects were put online and the buzz started.

In two weeks, the project led by Kaminoan and Glenbricker was successful, with the support of some of the actors of the series who have extensively relayed the possibility of a LEGO box.

In my opinion, there is no doubt that LEGO has already secured the rights to be able to offer a box around this universe and that this first step was ultimately only a formality to confirm the popularity of the idea.

The essential levers for bringing together in record time the 10.000 supporters around a Cuusoo project are known: Many projects such as those around the game Minecraft or license Back to the Future have already shown that a well-orchestrated buzz can motivate enough people and validate an idea or a concept very quickly.

Personally, I am not a fan of the series. But I readily understand that the many fans of this universe will appreciate being able to exhibit a tardis and some Daleks in their living room or on their desk. It's now just a matter of a few months before the LEGO Cuusoo set Doctor Who arrives at the LEGO Shop ...
