More Details of LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) Delayed Release

August 31, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few days ago, I reported that the upcoming LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) set was possibly being delayed due to an issue with the build. There wasn’t any specifics of what the issue was or how long the release would be delayed because there hasn’t been an official statement by LEGO about it. However, they did mention on Twitter that it would be slightly delayed at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home but you can find it at other retailers like Toys R Us and such. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the set will be available on September 21 but I’m not sure where the source is for that date. I’ve also heard that it might available on September 27. As far as I know, the set is being delayed indefinitely.

The issue in question is the head/neck area where the head connects to the neck. The neck connection isn’t able to support the weight of the head and it will swing backwards every time you tilt the head up. The only problem with you getting it early is that you won’t have the the parts needed to stabilize the head. A few people who already have purchased WALL·E have contacted LEGO Customer Service and they are being sent parts 4211695 and 4265484 to help alleviate the problem but it doesn’t seem to make sense because they only further support the neck more but doesn’t really solve the problem with the joint in the neck holding the head as it will still swing backwards due to … Continue

Reports of LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) Being Delayed

August 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There are reports over on Reddit that the upcoming LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) set has been delayed for a few weeks due to a “quality issue.” I’ve also gotten a message from a reader who also works at a LEGO Brand Store and they have said the same thing. From my message, they also said that “something was not up to LEGO quality they they missed.” I’m not sure what this quality issue is about but I’m wondering if it is part of the top neck joint area that makes the head unstable and won’t stay in place as I stated in my review. I’ll try to get some more clarification and how long the delay will be. The set was scheduled to be released on September 1st.

LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) Review

August 26, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In 2008, Disney and Pixar released a film called WALL·E and it instantly became not only one of best animated movies of all-time, but one of the best movies in general. In July of last year, the LEGO Ideas project by Angus MacLane hit 10,000 supporters and a few months later, it was announced that WALL·E would become an official LEGO Ideas set.

LEGO Ideas Indominus Rex Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Indominus Rex project by senteosan is the latest project to get 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features the antagonist in the new Jurassic World movie as a fairly large display piece which contains around 700 bricks.

Although the dinosaur is a great model and a set I would like to have, I have some reservations of this project becoming an official set because of the LEGO Jurassic World license. If it was a generic dinosaur, it might have had a better chance to pass but since the description describes it as the one from the movie, I doubt that it will make it through but we’ll see in a few months.

The Indominus Rex now joins Brick-Built Adventure Time Figures, Caterham Super Seven, the Modular Library, Lothlorien, LEGO Physics, Ghostbusters: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and Hobbit-Rivendell as the the projects that are eligible to be reviewed for a chance to be an official LEGO set.

LEGO Ideas Hobbit-Rivendell Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Hobbit-Rivendell project by fishingtwister is the latest one to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This project is a very elaborate MOC of the Elven city of Rivendell from The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings books/movies. It includes about 10 different buildings that you can display to your liking to recreate the scene. Note that the mountain in the background is not included in the project.

It’ll be going up against another LOTR project with Lothlorien along with Brick-Built Adventure Time Figures, Caterham Super Seven, the Modular Library, LEGO Physics, and Ghostbusters: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in the review stage.

August 19, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Overnight, Brent Waller once again has achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas with his Ghostbusters: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man project. This will be Brent’s third project to go to the review stage including the Batmobile Tumbler Minifig Scale and Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary which eventually became the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108).

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is essentially a large scale build of Gozer’s physical manifestation which towers over buildings and minifigures. The model stands at 13 inches high and contains around 1800 pieces at its current state.

The project joins Brick-Built Adventure Time Figures, Caterham Super Seven, the Modular Library, Lothlorien, and LEGO Physics as the ones eligible to be reviewed by the LEGO Jury for a chance to become an official set.

August 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Disney D23 expo is going on in Anaheim and LEGO has just officially revealed the LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303) set over on their blog. If you’re going to D23, you can meet Angus MacLane at the Pixar booth for some signings and at the LEGO Ideas panel. There’s not much new information as we already had some of the images and description from Amazon a few days ago. The set will be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home on September 1st for $49.99.

Build, display and role play with WALL-E! Construct the LEGO Ideas version of WALL-E with posable neck, adjustable head and arms, gripping hands, opening trunk and rolling tracks. Build a beautifully detailed LEGO version of WALL-E -the last robot left on Earth! Created 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.
