Pre-order WALL•E at Amazon, ships September 1st
Posted by Huw,
I really don't know what the hold-up is with the official reveal of 21303 WALL•E. If it doesn't occur soon, we will all have it in hand before it happens. It's already been listed for pre-order at Amazon.com
The description reads "Build, display and role play with WALL-E! Construct the LEGO Ideas version of WALL-E with poseable 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 poseable 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."
A Brickset staff member has one flying over from Hungary as I type so I'm hopeful we will be able to post a review later this week or early next week. Stay tuned...

I can't wait for this set review to come out! If the set seems good enough it will surely be at the top of my Christmas list!
Just a few more weeks, just a few more weeks .... can hardly wait for this one! :D
I imagine this will be officially revealed at D23, which is this weekend.
^ Good call, I suspect you're right.
They still haven't officially unveiled it yet?! JEEZ Lego, why is every single one of your September products locked up so much?
Can't wait for a review. And a really good explanation for "almost a decade," because this was finished at least two years ago and just recently tweaked up by LEGO, and the movie was released 7 years ago. I saw it in theaters. Would be nice to know just how long WALL-E took to develop, because that's HALF a decade.
This was also on the TRU site as well.
do we have a piece count yet?
I placed an Order, but right now it is gone!!!! but I was kinda hoping for $49.99
Ugh, 70 dollars. I cant afford that.
Kree, for what it's worth, I just saw the set on ebay with packaging indicating 677 pieces. This close to release, I am guessing it's the real thing.
No longer on Amazon.
And $60? That's $20 more than I was planning on paying.
Can't wait for this set! Saw the price/sku set up in my local TRU this last weekend next to the BBT and Ghostbusters sets, also there was a place for the Doctor Who ideas set with a price of 59.99. Could these be coming out at the same time?

Well then it seems like amazon might be charging a ten dollar premium or there is some mistake somewhere . It's indicated $50 on the retail shelf mentioned above
Oddly enough in Hungary is now available. o_O

So why doesn't the LEGO website offer pre-order and/or pre-order w/a discount for VIPs?
Because LEGO doesn't need to. Why discount a new item that will sell out in a day?
Anyone know if VIP members will get an opportunity to pre-order?
Links were taken down on Amazon.
Because membership has it privileges, GBG?
Day one purchase!!
It looks so sad / pitiful. Maybe someone should tickle it and get a smile on that face!
Lego announced it on Facebook earlier!
I thought this was announced on the Lego Ideas blog on D23 weekend. It's only $50 in Lego Stores...
