I'm a little lost here, sorry. Are you asking for proof that the LEGO Daleks come from a Doctor Who dimension? I think we've gone over this, haven't we? I can't remember anymore. I thought we all agreed that they had to be from a DWU.

The game is invalid, but only because of the hub-world and the option to play as other Doctors and basically any character released for the set. Playing as other characters does not change the in-game cut-scenes or narrative, so someone could easily argue that from a production point of view, the cut scenes were meant to be exclusively within the franchise's view of the DWU and the events of the game. That 'someone' is me. The cut scenes were meant to be exclusively within the franchise's view of the DWU and the events of the game.

So we know there's a DWU in this franchise's multiverse. We call it the LEGO Multiverse only because the corporate name that's put next to the logo is always lego. It doesn't mean each universe has to be seen as a kid playing with toys. We know that this DWU has been treated pretty much like they just had the ability to use ideas, worlds, and characters from the DWU without changing them in anything but a stylized appearance. They don't change anything -- they just add more stories into the mix. We know that the Daleks come from a DWU in the Lego-franchise's Multi-verse. We have no evidence that there is more than one DWU in the multiverse. We know that there are references within products from this franchise to DWU stories that the franchise doesn't try to retcon. It just wants to hang out with DWU stories, and just be "one of the guys."

Thus, I would say that we can easily state that the LEGO franchise has made no attempt to retcon any DWU events or ideas. They have merely tried to add-onto pre-existing stories. Thus, I think we currently have all the reason to declare it valid and little to no reason to call it invalid.

...

But yea, I'd love to hear from other people on this still.
