We need info on how the DWU is treated exclusively. OF COURSE the LEGO Harry Potter universe is treated differently. We have ample evidence that it's a direct reboot -- with a retelling of the original franchise. We don't have that for Doctor Who.
My original pitch, which most people seemed to agree with, was the LD presented some franchises with the idea of rebooting them while it showed others with the idea of adding on to them. Doctor Who is one of the franchises where they have not tried to retcon any of his adventures, nor have they tried to recreate them. Instead, it's tried to show new adventures in the same basic universe. That's kind of what any non-TV Doctor Who story does.
It just seems like every argument for it being invalid doesn't have enough of a direct connection to hold up in any meaningful way.
