Get ready for a LEGO set that's a little wibbly-wobbly and a lot timey-wimey.
That's right, the Doctor Who LEGO set should hit store shelves soon, at least according to a teaser photo released by the BBC's official Doctor Who Facebook account.
The Facebook post doesn't mention any details, but shows a brick version of the Tardis, along with the words "landing soon," making the post feel like a promise that Doctor Who and plastic brick fans will have an official release date for the LEGO set soon.
The set features a Tardis that opens up (it really is bigger on the inside), along with characters familiar to the series, including the 12th Doctor and Clara, the current version of the Doctor and his companion on the television series.
Landing soon...

The company promised the Doctor Who set earlier this year after Andrew Clark, a fan of the series, received 10,000 votes in a LEGO crowdsourced competition. Those votes got the manufacturer's notice and now Clark's concept will soon become a reality that Doctor Who fans can purchase for themselves.
Clark's original model included a variety of Doctor Who villains – such as Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels – along with a multitude of Doctors and companions throughout the series' 52-year history.
"We're extremely excited to announce that a Doctor Who and a WALL-E set will be released as our next LEGO Ideas fan-based sets, congratulations to the designers Andrew Clark and Angus MacLane!" said Emma Owen, spokesperson for LEGO Ideas UK. "After receiving over 10,000 votes from the online community and having gone through rigorous toy testing from our expert panel, these awesome sets are on track to be on shelves later this year."
LEGO Ideas is a community organized by the company where fans can submit their designs for ideas for new LEGO products. Those that get 10,000 votes have the opportunity, if selected, to see their sets made into real-world items and sold as part of the plastic brick's product line. To date, nine fan-created LEGO sets were created through the program.
In April, Clark released a video demonstrating the set in action.

LEGO has not yet announced a release date for the Doctor Who set, but expect that announcement soon. Meanwhile, Doctor Who airs on BBC America on Saturdays.
