LEGO, sometimes spelled Lego, was a children's building game that produced "ordinary space LEGO", as well as Star Wars-themed sets. They didn't have spaceship LEGOs when Tom Braudy's grandmother grew up. Tom thought that space LEGO was for boys only, while girls liked building hairdressers and flower shops. He built a ship to go to Mars, and then a bigger one to go to Jupiter the next week, before the Eighth Doctor and companions materialised the TARDIS in their sitting room. (AUDIO: Memory Lane) Space-themed sets were produced in Ace's time as well, who crashed spaceships into LEGO police stations in her early youth. (PROSE: Set Piece)

LEGO figures were tiny in comparison to real people. (PROSE: History 101) In fact, all LEGO models were significantly smaller than their real world equivalents. According to the Eighth Doctor, Toronto in the summer looked like "a giant LEGO set" from above the CN Tower. (PROSE: Trading Futures) Joseph similarly compared the skycrapers of New York City to LEGO buildings when atop the Empire State Building. (PROSE: Salvation)

The Savant, a great alien hacker of both computers and the human brain, enjoyed both eating LEGO as a snack, and bathing in it. Sarah Swan dubbed him "a hormone-secreting, Lego-obsessed Sesame Street monster". (PROSE: Blue Box)

Bernice Summerfield at some point did an archaeological dig in an Earth Legoland. (PROSE: Nobody's Children) She frequently had dreams of a bearded villain turning her into LEGO. (PROSE: Beige Planet Mars)

The Eleventh Doctor kept a LEGO room in his TARDIS. (COMIC: Sky Jacks)

According to Toshiko Sato, the two halves of a quantum transducer fit together like LEGO. (TV: Ghost Machine) Incopolis' streets were filled with buildings too similar in design that they looked like "they'd all been assembled from the same Lego kit". (PROSE: Seeing I)

Liz Shaw compared the Seventh Doctor sifting through laboratory equipment to a child receiving a new set of LEGO. (PROSE: Blood Heat)

The Celestial Toymaker created a castle in the sky above Stockbridge which appeared to be made of LEGO. (COMIC: Endgame)
