A friend bought 12 still sealed

And upon building them all, he got 3 with the short legs of

I asked him if he was sure all the packs were sealed and he replied that absolutely,
sealed outside and sealed clear bag inside.

So, maybe a note needs to be added to the inventory? And if more evidence is
found add it as alternate in the set entry?

This very much sounds like a production error and BL usually does not include
information about such errors in the catalog. I also did not find any further
confirmation for wrong legs in this set. What I have found, though, is that apparently
all review boxes (which were sent to Brickset, Eurobricks, newelementary etc.)
did not include the Wile E. Coyote figure at all. So maybe the reason for that
was because he had wrong legs in early productions runs and the figure was therefore
removed from the boxes?

I will leave this request open for some time in case anyone has any additional
information about it. But as said I don't think we need to add anything here
as long as we don't find further confirmation. Anyway, thanks for mentioning
this.

Btw. did your friend try to get replacement parts? I believe TLG does not have
replacement parts for collectible minifigs but maybe the costumer service can
confirm that the wrong legs are a known error.

No... He now wants to get a still sealed one with the small legs

But you believe correctly, the policy for missing/wrong/damaged parts from Lego
replacement to Collectible minifigs is sending a new sealed bag.
