Kenxxx Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Shipping tip... shipping this 3 lb brick cross-country almost cost me over $13. Then I found it fits nicely in a Medium Flat Rate box, and ships coast to coast for $11 and change. This is the first time I've ever found use for a flat rate box. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is perfectly made to fit on a Med flat rate box. $10.65 if you print through eBay.I always have a bunch of flat rate boxes, mainly to ship used sets.

So there are two problems now?? WTF!Did this problem cause any returns? As a customer, I wouldn't be happy of buying a lego set with flaw.

Plenty of people are unhappy with the design though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacunn Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Not an issue that LEGO will be releasing any updates for. Plenty of people are unhappy with the design though.I built it yesterday and I am stunned this got through QA. The design of the neck is horrendous. I am going with the McVeigh fix but I will probably Bricklink it myself next time I am building an order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED-209 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yes, I does seem that quality control is not what it once was. I got no less than 30 bricks that cracked in a 31026 I bought and the light blue bricks tend to be inconsistent in colour tone. They did agree to replace the bricks, but I've heard they don't like it of you keep complaining. I just got a SW shadow stormtromper with a split in the torso, ffs.

znjndmawn Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Does anyone have the parts list on how to motorize wall-e? I already saw the video of ppung daddy but I'm not sure if I was able to identify all of it especially the cables.

jaisonline Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 If you screen capture some parts of the video after building it, you should get a pretty good idea. I just haven't built the Wall-E we own yet. This MOC stores in the battery in the trash compartment behind the Wall-e logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Lego says these two parts were from a defective batch. Honestly, I don't see how replacing these 2 parts will help. Too much weight to support for the parts' sizes.Hi,for the people that got the replacement parts, I have a question.In the set I bought from TRU, I believe I do have these 2 items 4211695 and 4265484.So why LEGO shipping these 2 items to us again?What is the difference between the replacement part and the part included in the set?They appear to have the same item number!!Please help!!!

jaisonline Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) i finished the build review. just need to get the pictures ready. here is a sneak peak of the motorized Wall-E i built. hiding the PF cables was the main challenge. another obstacle was the torque generated by the 2 PF 8883 M-Motors. the "Cross Axle 4M" that connects the 8883 and track assembly tends to get separated (that side stops moving). update: yeah, the dog wouldn't leave Wall-E alone and demanded a cameo.
