Troubleshooting

A piece seems to be missing.

Thoroughly check all bags, the building area, and the box. LEGO customer service can provide replacement parts if genuinely missing.

Difficulty understanding a step in the instructions.

Re-examine the illustration closely. Try using the digital instructions in the `LEGO Builder` app, which may offer zoom or 3D views. Sometimes, taking a short break can help you approach the step with fresh eyes.

My model feels unstable or parts keep falling off.

Carefully review the previous steps to ensure all bricks are firmly pressed together and correctly oriented. Pay close attention to connections involving smaller or unique pieces.

Movable parts (e.g., WALL-E's tracks, M-O's brush) are stiff or don't move smoothly.

Ensure no pieces are obstructing the movement mechanism. Check that all components are correctly assembled and not too tightly pressed against adjacent bricks.
