2024 has been another incredible year for the LEGO Ideas theme with franchises like Dungeons & Dragons and Jaws being translated into brick-built form for the first time. On the 6th of September 2024, our seventh LEGO Ideas set of the year will hit shelves of 21351 Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. The 18+ branded model will retail for $199.99 / €199.99 / £169.99 with a total of 2,193 pieces included.
The original submission by Tvrulesmylife was approved for production by the LEGO Ideas team back in February 2023. Since then the LEGO designers and fan designer have been hard at work designing our first LEGO set based on the 1993 Disney film. The only other time we've gotten LEGO The Nightmare Before Christmas was back in 2019 with the second LEGO Disney Minifigure series including both Jack Skellington and Sally Stitches.
Jack Skellington and Sally Stitches return in 21351 but this time Jack Skellington includes longer legs along with updated printing for his torso and a new facial expression. The same has also happened with Sally. A further six characters are also included in the $200 set of Santa Clause, Lock, Shock and Barrel as LEGO Minifigures along with Zero the dog and a buildable, 2-faced The Mayor figure.
In the centre of the build is the haphazard house of Jack Skellington - the main character in the movie. This is the main part of the set with the house towering over the rest of Halloween town. The house can be spun around 360 degrees to reveal two small rooms inside. The main interior is a room where Jack has created his own interpretation of Christmas with a Halloween twist. The chalkboard can be seen here as he tries to understand the festivities. The other, much smaller room, is home to a Christmas tree.
On the right of the model is the gothic but also really cool Town Square complete with a Town Hall along with a creepy green-coloured water fountain. A fun play feature is also included here with a scene depicting Santa being kidnapped and transported into the trick or treaters walking bathtub.
Meanwhile, to the left of the build is the Spiral Hill which can be found within the town's dark and dull graveyard. The graveyard is also home to Jack’s Ghostly dog Zero and his kennel tomb. Meanwhile, Jack & Sally join each other on top of the hill to recreate one of the film’s most recognisable scenes. Each section of the build acts as a diorama modular system, allowing plenty of ways to both display and play with the 18+ model which releases on the 6th of September 2024.
