Without any special announcement, LEGO added the #43279 LEGO Disney and Pixar WALL-E and EVE set to the Online LEGO Shop. This is surprising, as the previously released #21303 LEGO Ideas WALL-E set (from 2015) got much coverage and love from the LEGO fan community. The new set features a smaller version of WALL-E, but it also includes EVE, M-O, and Hal (WALL-E’s little roach friend), plus curated details, including the plant in a boot from the animated movie.
WALL-E has moving wheels, M-O has a spinning brush, and all three come with movable heads and arms. The set contains 811 pieces, priced at $69.99, and is already available for pre-order at the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.
I recall that when the #21303 LEGO Ideas WALL-E set was released, so many LEGO fans were inspired to make a matching EVE and M-O. It wasn’t easy in those days with the lack of suitable curved parts, so it’s great to see LEGO revisiting the subject with modern elements. I also think that the smaller size of the characters is more user-friendly by taking up less space, but still very recognizable and functional.
The #43279 LEGO Disney and Pixar WALL-E and EVE set will ship from September 1st, but as mentioned above, you can already pre-order it at the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.

I actually like this size better than the Ideas set. It’s not as big but still has all the features. And EVE and especially M-O are awesome.
