Hobby Talk: Lego Kit Review, Lego Idea's - Wall-E

No, it's not the regular Gundam kit review.  It's something a bit different.  Lego.




















Why this kit
I was a bit Lego crazy when I decided to pick up this kit.  Thanks to last year's Shell Lego campaign, everyone else is also crazy about these building blocks.  And the hardest kit to get at that time, Wall-E.  And, saya nak LEGO.. that's why.












Kit Details
The Lego Wall-E kit was released in September 2015.  The box consists of 677 Lego blocks and 1 sticker sheet.  This kit is priced at $59.99 which is around RM 267.















Build / Difficulty
It's always fun building a Lego kit.  Because it's easy.  This kit is rated for 12+ years old.  Imaging a guy almost 3x the box rating building this.  It's super easy to build the kit.  Lego comes in bricks, not runners so no snipping, sanding, nub management.  Nothing is needed.  Just straightforward build.

Lego blocks are in the right size to be considered kids friendly so no really small parts to be worried about.  The manual is very detailed so there's no reason you can go wrong.

Looks / Details
Wall-E in Lego is designed at the same time it was animated back in 2005.  This said, the design of this Lego kit is really similar to what you seen on screen.  The proportion is a bit off from the movie but that's the best you can do from a 677 piece Lego kit.
















Accessories
You'll get a plant in a pot.  Sorry, no shoe.

Articulation / Pose ability
The kit has a lot of movement.  But being a Lego kit, it can never reach the dynamics you seen in the movie e.g. retracting every single part into Wall-E's body.




















So, no hiding from Eva, Lego Wall-E.

Shelf presence
Who can't recognize Wall-E?  Wall-E on your shelf, Plus!
















Summary
Sorry, no rating.  There are a lot of Lego kit out there but it's highly recommended for you to snatch this one from the Lego store if it's available.  Your Millennium Falcon or Death Star can wait.  Price... Lego is expensive AF, so price might be the sole reason for you to pull the handbrake from buying Lego.
