In the box, 717 pieces and 4 characters (Poe Dameron, 1x Resistance X-Wing Pilot, 1x Resistance Ground Crew and the BB-8 droid). The retail price of this set should be around € 99.99.

To be confirmed online from midnight tonight, if the lego shop survives the onslaught of fans, and in stores that will sell these boxes during an evening event: La Grande Recre, Toys R Us or Disney Store announced a late opening of some of their stores to allow those in a hurry to leave with their favorite derivative products.

While LEGO still does not make up its mind to communicate clearly and officially about the design flaw that seems to affect the little robot in the LEGO Ideas 21303 set, it is Brickset who clearly has the task of clarifying the manufacturer's position on this. topic.

In short, the lack of rigidity in the neck of WALL-E is not considered a defect despite the lack of friction of the affected parts noted in several reviews.

Another issue would affect this set, but it would only affect units intended for the US market. Customers can request replacement of affected parts from LEGO Customer Service. These parts supplied by LEGO have nothing to do with the neck friction problem mentioned above.

Sets sold in France are not affected by this second "fault" and the set is therefore considered to be perfectly functional.

The leitmotif is obvious: Do your own thing to improve things if you feel like it. Or do you have a reason ...

The official LEGO 2016 retailer catalog being available, the "leaks" are starting to reach us from those who have been able to take a look.

Keep in mind, however, that the minifigs mentioned are mentioned for now and until proven otherwise by rumors posted on a forum.
