It has every relevance. To say it doesn't is highly neglectful when discussing a LEGO franchise piece of work. You have the LEGO Potterverse and the normal Potterverse. You have the LEGO Star Wars Universe and the normal Star Wars Universe. The difference between the two is that the Laws of Physics are not only different but also, the LEGO physics are massively flexible. There's nothing unique about how the LEGO Batman Movie has treated Doctor Who. It's just another cameo from another villain among tonnes of others.

I have no problem accepting a story where the Doctor enters the LEGO multiverse and has to come to terms with the new Laws of Physics, as long as it's explained as such. But if there's a story set in the LEGO DWU without explanation, then that's the setting: the LEGO DWU, not the DWU. Finito. End of story. And all of these LEGO universes are part of the LEGO multiverse.

We're calling this invalid because there's not enough evidence to make a connection to the DWU. The Daleks are in it... whoop-de-do. The BBC allowed them to use them... so what? If the LEGO Franchise wanted any version of the Dalek (real Daleks, parallel Daleks, LEGO Daleks), they'd still need a license no matter what.

Time to get tough here, I'm afraid. I'll dig my heels in and say that we need a lot more substantial evidence before I'm joining the "valid" side. I've not seen or heard anything of value to place it in/besides the DWU. Sorry, but I haven't.
