So I recently picked up what I thought was all the parts for the 21303 Wall-e
set
 
Set No: 21303  Name: WALL-E
* 
21303-1 (Inv) WALL-E
677 Parts, 2015
Sets: LEGO Ideas (CUUSOO): WALL-E
I was not aware that there was an issue with the neck build and a supplemental
pack available. However when I started to build the set, I found that I didn't
have all the pieces and that's when I realize that there was a reissue for
the neck build and a large set of "alternate" parts in the BL inventory.
All the instructions online, through the Lego instructions page and on rebrickable
are for the updated neck. I know the inventory is based on the parts in box,
but there should be a note or something else that calls out that the inventory
does not allow for the build to be completed based on all the available insturctions.

That being said, if someone can find an online version of the original instructions,
that would be great.

I did not realize the notes were all the way at the bottom. I would expect them
to be at the top. Having them after the extra parts and everything is almost
like hiding them. Ugh.

Still looking for original instructions online version if anyone has a link.

AFAICT the instructions on Rebrickable are for the fixed build. I checked both
and could not find a difference between them.

Only if hiding them means: having them in the same place for every inventory
on BrickLink. There is a link at the top to the Change Log which could also indicate
the information you are looking for. And the Match ID 99 is visible throughout
the entire inventory list.

Having the notes at the top would mean all of us would have to scroll past all
the notes all of the time forever before we could get to the data we need.

I have the old Wall-E set. Let me know if you can't find the old instructions
and I will see if I can scan the relevant pages for you.

Thanks,
Jen

I guess I've never really had a reason to look for or at the notes of
other sets and in my mind correlated them to that of "similar parts"
where you see a list of at the top of a part that is like another.

As far as the instruction, if you have the original, that would be great. Even
on Rebrickable, they are the updated version under the "original" link.
Trying to reverse engineer the model from review videos isn't going great.

First, I went running through my storage doing my best impersonation of EVE yelling:
Wall-EEEEE!

Then, I found the box with the instructions and scanned them for ya. Instruction
book code 6146260:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/auz103gaa0so06r/21303%20original.pdf?dl=0

If you have trouble with the link, send me a PM with your email and I will send
the file back.

Don't forget to build your official (not official) mini Wall-E from Miro78

That's perfect, thank you very much. Love the extra mini build as well.
While I understand the instability, at least he has a head now on my shelf and
doesn't look decapitated.

You can find the original instructions with the rotation joint on Brickinstructions.com

Good luck!

You can see the difference mainly on the parts on back
