The talk of the town neck problem.

Options for Lego fans regarding the neck issue:
A. Wait for the updated release
B. Request for the parts. I read that they are sending parts 4211695 and 426548 to alleviate the issue.
C. Use your imagination and do your own fix to improve it
D. To those who already bought the set (like me), just enjoy it. But i'm also thinking of buying the improved set for safe-keeping. hmm

In my opinion, the set is pretty adorable. But it was definitely challenging to build. There were a lot of small pieces and it was time consuming to identify which piece to attach next. I also think it could have been one of their best sets if they put in extra effort for quality control testing. This extra effort would have saved them from the spinning neck issue.
