Earlier this year, I reported that the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) will be coming to Target stores sometime this year and it looks like they’ve finally showed up. There have been multiple reports that the polybag has been found on endcaps in the toy section as well as at checkout lanes for $3.99. The DPCI number for it is 204-00-0479 so you can use an inventory checker to see if there are any near your area. This is probably the cheapest way to get the Joker minifigure and the bumper car isn’t too bad either. Thanks to Dan for messaging this in.

It’s never too early for Christmas but here’s a short review of a little Seasonal set I found at the LEGO Store this week, the Holiday Scene Magnet (853353).

The official Doctor Who YouTube channel has released a new video featuring the new LEGO Ideas Doctor Who (21304) set. The video is made in a Gallifreyan Shopping Network broadcast similar to the Home Shopping Network.
In the video, we can see some closer details of what we’ll be getting in the Doctor Who set and the size of the set compared to a regular person since it’s hard to judge from just pictures.
Construct a stunningly detailed LEGO® version of the iconic TARDIS® and role-play the Doctor’s time-travel adventures! Created by fan-designer Andrew Clark and selected by LEGO Ideas members, this set is based on the BBC’s popular and long-running television series about a Time Lord – the Doctor – exploring the universe in a blue police box. Due to trans-dimensional engineering, the TARDIS is bigger on the inside than the outside and this cool multifunctional set includes the console room that houses all the flight controls. Regenerate the Doctor and defeat the evil Daleks™ and a Weeping Angel with the help of his extraordinary companion Clara. Then close the doors of the TARDIS and launch into another dimension!

Not to outdo the earlier post of the LEGO Ideas Doctor Who (21304) set, LEGO Ideas has revealed the set over on their blog in which we can also see the cool box art for the set as well as the official description. Again, the set will be available on December 1st at a recommended retail price of $59.99 but we can expect Toys R Us to be a little higher than that.

The past couple of days, LEGO has been teasing fans with images of the upcoming LEGO Ideas Doctor Who (21304) set with a possibility of it being revealed very soon. We don’t have to wait for it because Hoth Bricks has an image of the official set which comes from the French LEGO catalog.
The set comes with 623 pieces and retails for $59.99 and will be available on December 1. It includes minifigures of the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith), the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) which is a different version from the LEGO Dimensions one, Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman), a Weeping Angel, and two brick-built Daleks which are also different from the ones in the Dimensions Cyberman Fun Pack.
