First Look at the Upcoming WALL-E LEGO Set

Back in October of 2013, Pixarian Angus MacLane submitted a WALL-E model to the LEGO Ideas website. This is a site where fans can upload their brick-built creations for future LEGO sets. If the submission receives 10,000 supporters, it goes into the evaluation phase, in which the review team from LEGO decides whether or not the submitted model will become an actual set. This is the same procedure that MacLane's WALL-E creation went through, and it was announced by The LEGO Group last February that they would make the WALL-E model a reality.

The toy web-store Smyths recently revealed images of the LEGO WALL-E packaging that most likely pictures the official final version of the set. The LEGO news blog Leg Godt - Play Well mentions that there may be a slim chance the images are fake just to serve as a placeholder on the site until the real images are released, but it's improbable that the toy store would create the image themselves. So, without further ado, here are the images of the upcoming LEGO WALL-E set!

Symths toy store declared that the set will sell for €57.99, which is approximately $65.00 in United States currency, and that the model will be available on December 1st. The site also lists WALL-E's functions:

• Flexible head and hands can open/close
• Rotating wheels with tracks
• Opening torso compartment
• Suitability 12+

Master Builder Angus MacLane

Angus MacLane has been at Pixar since 1997 and has directed short films BURN-E, Small Fry, and the television special Toy Story of TERROR!  In his spare time, he is an avid LEGO fan and invented a popular style of LEGO creations, which he dubbed CubeDudes. He is currently the co-director of Finding Nemo's sequel, Finding Dory.

Angus MacLane's WALL-E is the Next LEGO Ideas Set!

LEGO Ideas is a website where fans can upload their suggestion for future LEGO sets. On the site, one can support other projects, give feedback, or create your own. Once a project gets 10,000 votes, it will go into the LEGO review stage. The review team will then evaluate and decide what the next LEGO Ideas set will be.

In October of 2013, Pixar animator and director Angus MacLane submitted a WALL-E model on LEGO Ideas. 16 months later, it was decided that WALL-E would become a LEGO Ideas set. Watch the announcement in the video below.

Not only is Angus MacLane the designer of an actual LEGO set, but he will also receive a percentage of the products sales! Check out images of MacLane's LEGO WALL-E below.

Angus MacLane describes himself on Twitter as a Cartoon director by day, LEGO builder by night. At Pixar, Angus has directed BURN-E, Small Fry, Toy Story of TERROR!, and presumably he is the co-director for Finding Dory. Outside of Pixar, he creates amazing LEGO MOC's (My Own Creation). From constructing his popular CubeDude series, and recently creating several clever Couch Potato builds, Angus MacLane definitely deserves the title "Master Builder."

Angus has one other submission on LEGO Ideas, a Toy Story of TERROR! LEGO Bunny. It's currently at just over 500 votes, so go to LEGO Ideas and support it now!

LEGO Ideas is a place where fans can upload their suggestions for a LEGO set. How does LEGO Ideas work you might ask? Watch this informative video below:

After 9 months of waiting, LEGO WALL-E has received 10,000 votes! So now WALL-E has entered the review phase, and hopefully the review board will choose our little robot friend to be the next LEGO set through LEGO ideas. If WALL-E does become a set, Angus will receive a percentage of the products sales. Not too shabby!

Disney announces 'The Pixar Thoery' movie

The Pixar Theory is a fan-made idea that all the Pixar movies are in the same universe. It claims that the will-of-the-wisps (magic) that Merida came upon has the power to make inanimate objects and animals behave like humans, and it leads to the birth of superheroes. Many years later Buy N Large rises to power and contributes to earth pollution, so people left earth in the Axiom leaving machines (Cars) on the planet. Lots of time goes by and WALL-E is the only machine left on earth.Then he saves the human race and starts a new beginning. Hundreds of years after WALL-E, radiation caused by BNL evolves animals into monsters, and human population becomes extinct. The monsters figured out that people's screams were their source of energy, and the machines help the Monsters using doors to time-travel. 

This is where Boo comes in. She never got over Sulley and wanted to find out what happened to him. She figured out how to time travel (using wooden doors) and goes back in time to the will-of-the-wisps, and creates magic to find Sulley. Even though Boo knows how to travel in time, she does not know what time period she will go to. Boo is the one placing 'Easter Eggs' in the Pixar movies because she has accidentally been to that time period.

Sulley is seen as a wood carving in 'Brave.'

This theory was created by Jon Negroni. It was just announced by some Disney executives that Jon has been working with the Pixar Braintrust to make his crazy idea into movie. It is not certain though if Pixar will actually make the film or if the project will be given to DisneyToon (the studio that makes the 'Tinkerbell' and 'Planes' films). The director is currently unknown, but Julie Walters (the voice of the witch in 'Brave') and Larry the Cable Guy (Mater) will most likely return for 'The Pixar Theory' movie. The release date will probably be in 2018.
