These phone boxes weren't just in London, they were all over the UK. It would be nice if they make a Royal mail Postbox to go with it. ...or maybe even a Dangermouse colab set. Yeah I know I'm dreamin'
The post box was part of the original submission but I'm guessing they would've had to get rights from Royal Mail or whoever and it just would've made the set more expensive
Looks good Mike. Oh and in the UK something that is great is called "Brilliant". You are right about the swappable phones though. Oh, and the TARDIS is not a phone box, it is a 1963 Police Call box. Mike, what happed to the Cool Factor? Are you not doing that channel now too!
I'm really glad there's videos like this on here, as I couldn't understand why the light wouldn't click and stay on, thought mine was broken! As it's not meant to, all's good. Would be nice if it did though, and an actual light for the street lamp would be cool too, but probably doesn't have to keep the cost down. Those are just little niggles on what is a really tidy little piece of nostalgia. Well worth it.
The crown is a generic design. Lego only licenced the phone box design from BT. The real one is the "Royal Crown" which is a protected royal device - which would not only have added additional cost but would have been more tricky to license.
I like it but I won’t get it it’s a really good build and I like the lamp and light brick. My problem with it is it’s massive and honestly for something as mundane as a telephone box it’s not really a centerpiece item. Maybe a smaller €35 build that fits easier on a small shelf in front of some books would have been better. I just don’t dig how big it is. It would be really out of place on any shelf unless it was a centerpiece and it’s really not that exciting of a piece to be that.
The Crown element is not from the Royal Mail cruciform nor is it the Royal cipher, as both are copyrighted designs. The crown is a LEGO designers take on the crown design found on these kiosks. The kiosk itself is based on the K2 version which was mostly installed in and around London. The later K6 Jubilee Kiosk was the version which was installed around the U.K. and over 60,000 of which were erected. There are still 11,000 of these up and down the country!
Such a shame Lego has got this design very wrong!!😟 It’s a K2 Red telephone box and should have 6 rows of 3 windows down , this LEGO piece only has five rows down . 😢😢. I cant buy it for this reason !! 😭
The one that came out 10 years ago and has skyrocketed in price? Gee I wonder why people might not buy that. Also, that and this are 2 different things. One's a police box and one's a phone booth
Wow! London is calling

hi mike, i miss your weekly saturday LEGO news videos from 2020, they were SO GOOD
Red frame,White light🎼🎹🎤
Also the TARDIS is a police box, not a phone box. Its a very different design so a colour swap wouldn't be enough.
It has a great design and all but personally, I would have preferred the elétrico 28. Minifig scale, very funtional and quite some play features.
Beautiful lego kit if I buy it, I'll try to make an assembly video!
A TARDIS would be cool with an infinity mirror on the back wall.

I just built it. It was a fun build! I'm British BTW!
Tell Lego we need a Police Box / TARDIUS!!

Everyone just buy Lego idea dr who set comes with to scale London / Time Machine phone booth ❤ .. don’t post lame sets , that were done better already
DR Who was a Blue Police Box, not a Red Phone Box.
The one that came out 10 years ago and has skyrocketed in price? Gee I wonder why people might not buy that. Also, that and this are 2 different things. One's a police box and one's a phone booth
