I reviewed set number 21303 here. It is WALL-E from Disney Pixar's movie about the trash collecting robot that ends up helping to save the human race. Anyways, the original design was somewhat flawed. WALL-E's eyes kept spinning around and it was tough to lock them into one place. In reading some of the LEGO fan sites out there, there were a number of reports that a fix was in place. I wrote to LEGO customer service and received a response back that yes indeed a fix was in place. A few days later I received a bubble envelope in the mail. It contained the following items:

-a small parts bag
-an instruction sheet that shows how to prep the set for the fix
-an instruction booklet for the fix

The final set doesn't look much different from a quick glance. Here it is along with some of the extra parts.

The close up here shows the new ball joint that prevents WALL-E's eyes from randomly rotating around. In my opinion, the fix was a success and it doesn't change the set's design drastically enough to be an issue. I also applaud LEGO's handling of the redesign. I was sent the fix promptly and at no cost. It shows that LEGO values their customers and wants to make sure their products are of the highest quality.

If you've purchased WALL-E or done the fix, I'm curious to know what you think. Please post your thoughts in the comments.
