What is perhaps one of the most beautiful-looking sets I’ve seen in a long time the LEGO® Ideas The Nightmare Before Christmas set is set for a September release.
The set was officially announced today as the LEGO Group stumbles into Christmas Town with this very detailed and quite frankly staggering set based on the iconic 1993 stop-motion animation film.
There’s an eerie charm to the set as the buildings have been designed wonderfully, whoever created this set had a true love and passion for the films as you can feel it oozing off the screen in the images we have been provided.
Prepare to be immersed in a ghoulishly delightful world and give the holidays a macabre makeover with three iconic locations from the beloved animated classic: Disney’s Spiral Hill, Jack Skellington’s house and Halloween Town Hall. Build nostalgia and revel in authentic details which include a lift-off roof revealing Disney Jack Skellington’s Christmas formula, a detailed graveyard, a walking bathtub and the Town Hall lectern where Jack delivered his famous speech.
This collector’s set includes eight beloved Disney characters: Jack Skellington, Sally, Santa Claus, Lock, Shock, Barrel, Zero the dog, and a two-faced brick-built figure of The Mayor.
The set was designed by UK-based LEGO fan Simon Scott as part of the LEGO Ideas programme. Once designed, 10,000 people voted for it to be made into a real set. Talking about his design, Simon said:
I’m a massive fan of LEGO builds and Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas film so I’m honoured to see my creation come to life in physical brick form. The film is such a family hit with young & old fans from around theworld.
The ideas team have done a fantastic job creating a wonderfully playable set that is just as appealing as a display piece.
The LEGO® Ideas Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas set contains 2,193 pieces and is priced at £169.99 and will be released to LEGO Insiders of September 3rd with it going on official sale within LEGO Stores on September 6th.
The Nightmare Before Christmas LEGO set size is W: 48.2cm L: 27.8cm H: 31.2cm
