WALL•E being sold in Hungary
Posted by Huw,
We had our first look at the 11th LEGO Ideas set 21303 WALL•E back in June thanks to Smyths Toys in Ireland but to my knowledge it still hasn't been officially revealed. However, that hasn't stopped monobrand stores in Hungary from selling it already.
Update 8/8: we've heard that the store has stopped selling them, probably as a result of someone higher up the food chain reading this article. Sorry if you were planning a special trip to get one! We've also been reliably informed that its release date is 1st September.

Can't have this one in my cart soon enough, let's hope it's released a tad earlier than the Scheduled December
Wall-E is one of my favorite Pixar characters to date.
Im going to Hungary next week! Which store and where is selling it?
As far as I know, there are 2 monobrand stores in Budapest, both owned by the same owner:

Just a heads up, over on thebrickfan, Allen had along to a review and photos from South Korea a week or so ago. Check it out.
Does this mean the Doctor Who Ideas set isn't far behind?
^^ It was swiftly removed from the source site for some reason.
Tim Courtney just posted a pic of himself at Pixar Studios on Instagram, so, if there was any doubt that the announcement was coming soon... well, it's coming soon. Probably very soon.
There's a seller from Hungary selling them on Bricklink...
Doh, we are off to Hungary in a week. Just have to wait like everyone else now.
Last Wednesday, I picked one up at Puzzle Zoo (Santa Monica).

I'm still having trouble figuring out why LEGO is freaking out so much about people finding sets being released in LESS THAN A MONTH. I suppose if a review and photos are posted, they'll be swiftly removed by the power of the Disney.
