LONDON -- Prepare yourselves, Doctor Who fans: The official Lego set is edging closer by the day and we now have our first official photo.
The following picture of a fairly grand-looking Lego Tardis was shared on the official Doctor Who Facebook page on Sunday with the message "Landing soon...".

It's hard to get an idea of scale, sure, but the thing certainly looks impressive.
The Doctor Who Lego set came about after the concept was submitted to the Lego Ideas website -- a site which allows fans to submit their Lego design ideas, with the chance for them to be developed into actual Lego products -- by artist Andrew Clark (who created the images for his idea using a mixture of Lego and Photoshop).
Clark's idea, which includes a mini Peter Capaldi and Billie Piper, gained 10,000 supporters and reached the "approved" stage -- meaning it would be developed into a product and sold in stores -- early in 2015.
Here's the video Clark posted to show how his Tardis would work.
The Doctor Who Lego set doesn't have a confirmed release date yet, but judging by Sunday's Facebook post it can't be too far away.
