If this post was meant as a tongue-in-cheek comparison to the LEGO BATMAN thread, I can easily justify the difference.

"RULE 4: If a story was intended to be set outside the DWU, then it's probably not allowed."

- Our Four Little Rules

Lego Dimensions and the tie-in films are all set in a multi-verse. Looney Tunes Back in Action is set in one universe, where Looney Toones are real but are only actors.

So there is a Doctor Who world in Lego Dimensions and it's pretty much just the regular ol' DWU, with no retconning or changing of events. This world is where the Daleks come from.

They are trapped, at the start of the film, a space-jail connected to most of the universes. All of the people in the jail are then sent to Batman's universe.

This means you can at least try to argue that there's an attempt to explain why the Daleks are there. They try to make things make sense. They try to make it work within the DWU.

You can not say the same thing for LTBIN, which does not have its own multi-verse. The fact that cartoons walk around and exist in the universe does matter, because it's the only universe in the film. If the Daleks had been teleported in from Earth-5556, then we'd have another discussion at hand. But they weren't.

Now I'm not going to pretend that the Batman thread is going to end with it being valid. It likely won't. But this thread is about LTBIA, which is most certainly invalid.
