The delay was due to issues with a couple of hinge-bricks that were supporting the head, and this problem should now be fixed. (If you have gotten an earlier version of the set with defective hinges, you can call LEGO’s customer service for replacements.) Below is the description of this adorable little robot, as well as a full review and some fun modification. Here is the official description: Build a beautifully detailed LEGO version of WALL-E – the last robot left on Earth! C
reated by Angus MacLane, an animator and director at Pixar Animation Studios, and selected by LEGO Ideas members, the development of this model began alongside the making of the lovable animated character for the classic Pixar feature film. It has taken almost a decade to perfect the LEGO version, which incorporates many authentic WALL-E characteristics, including a posable neck, adjustable head, arms that move up and down and side to side, plus gripping hands and rolling tracks. With a trunk that opens and closes, you can tidy up the planet one pile of garbage at a time! This set also includes a booklet about the designer and the animated Pixar movie. Measures over 7” (18cm) high, 6” (16cm) long and 6” (16cm) wide. 6rice: $59.99 – BUY HERE The #21303 LEGO Ideas WALL-E set captures the personality of the original movie character perfectly. This is particularly due to those expressive eyes and the highly posable head and neck section. Unfortunately the head is a bit too loose and can spin around easily due to the weight of the head and the lack of friction in the neck joint. J
ANGBRiCKS mentions a very simple solution to this in the video-review below that requires no extra parts or modification. I think this should be sufficient for most people. However if you would like to have a more permanent and sturdy solution, there is an excellent modification provided by Chris McVeigh, using some extra parts. You can download the parts-list and step-by step instructions here: WALL-E Head Mount Modification by Chris McVeigh The arms and hands of WALL-E are also highly posable, and mimic the original design quite well. I think it would have been nice to have some stripes on the arms, but that’s a minor detail. Talking about detailing, the WALL-E logo at the front – as well as the solar meter – are printed elements, not stickers! Thank you, LEGO! Other features include the opening front compartment where you can place the little plant, or whatever else WALL-E happens to find. The tracks also look close to the original, although they don’t work well on smooth surfaces. H
owever on rough surfaces WALL-E rolls just fine. All in all this is an excellent and lovely model. The few faults simply make WALL-E look more authentic and add to his charm. After all he was a lonely beat-up robot who regularly had to fix himself up with random parts that he found here and there. (Below is a picture of the model originally submitted at LEGO Ideas for reference.) In the video-player below I have included three videos for you. The first one is a full-review by JANGBRiCKS where he shows you all the details and functions of the set. The second video is a modification using LEGO Power Function elements to motorize WALL-E with running tracks, and the third video uses the #9688 LEGO Education Renewable Energy Add-On set that includes a solar-panel to make WALL-E dance. 😀 As you can see, the #21303 LEGO Ideas WALL-E set is perfect for display, but also excellent for play as well as for modifications. I highly recommend it for anyone who liked the movie, or just like to have a great little LEGO robot. Pl

LEGO has been inspiring children for decades, allowing them to be creative and clever all at once, and encouraging kids to imagine what it’s like to be an architect, an engineer, an inventor or one of many other fantastic careers.
Created by Ole Kirk Christiansen in his workshop in Billund, Denmark, LEGO began production in 1949. Since then, over 560 billion pieces have been produced, which is at least 62 bricks for every individual person on this entire planet! There are also six theme parks dedicated to LEGO and play-sets that cover almost every media franchise from games and movies to books and sporting events. There are even some LEGO bricks floating around in space because in May 2011, 13 LEGO kits were taken to astronauts so that they could build models and study how the bricks react in microgravity.Every single thing about LEGO seems to be both inspired and simple. Even the word LEGO is wonderful, as it comes from the Danish phrase leg godt, meaning “play well” and a standard LEGO brick can withstand 950lbs of pressure, which is about the weight of an average moose. It’s no wonder then that children and adults alike all around the world are inspired by LEGO and have come up with various ways to use the nifty little bricks.
In fact, the only bad thing about LEGO is that standing on one with bare feet was voted the most painful thing a human being can experience, second only to childbirth!Whether you want to brighten up your home, teach your children mathematics or craft some geeky jewelry, you can do anything you want to with LEGO.
