LEGO Ideas 21303: WALL-E is back

As usual, those following already know (see this article) : The and 21303 WALL-E has been discontinued for many weeks to undergo some changes.

LEGO finally decides to officially communicate the reasons for the prolonged break in this reference and even if the information is no longer a secret, the manufacturer publicly admits on the LEGO Ideas blog the problem of stability of the robot's neck and the need to have to correct this design flaw.

In fact, version 2.0 of this box is already available and some customers have just received their copy. After a brief availability on the LEGO Shop, it has also just returned to break with a shipping date scheduled for December 9.

After comparing the two versions of the set, it is apparently possible to differentiate them via the number written on the stickers that seal the box: Those of the first version of the set bear the reference # 28S5 and those of the corrected version bear the reference # 47S5 . It seems that this is the only notable difference between the two boxes.

If you have purchased the first version of this set and you cannot be satisfied with the first version of the robot head fixing system, please do not hesitate to contact customer service to obtain the necessary parts for the implementation of the modification made by LEGO.
