There have been plenty of details already leaked about the latest LEGO Ideas set but now LEGO has made it official; introducing 21303 WALL•E.
Based on the 2008 Pixar film the set features the titular character in LEGO form. Overall the design looks like an incredibly faithful representation. That may be because the designer behind the original Ideas project is Angus MacLane, an animator and director at Pixar Animation Studios. Mr MacLane built his original WALL•E model around the same time the character was being built digitally at Pixar in late 2005 and has spent the years since refining his model.
Our price prediction, official set details and more images are below.
The US RRP is $49.99 but unfortunately we don’t have an Australian RRP just yet. We’ve reached out to LEGO to see if they can provide that and we will update accordingly if we hear back. In the meantime we’ll have to take an educated guess; we had a look at our set price database for 2015 sets with a US RRP of $49.99. There were 18 results.
- 4 have an Australian RRP of $59.99
- 2 have an Australian RRP of $69.99
- 8 have an Australian RRP of $79.99
- 4 have an Australian RRP of $89.99
Based on that it seems the most likely price point is $79.99, but any of the other prices are possible.
Official Product Description
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.
