I wish they used Sally’s hairpiece from the cmf series, I think it fits her more. Other than that this set is perfect!!! My mom(a huge Nightmare before Christmas fan) is gonna ADORE this set!!!
Sally is the only monster that’s good in Nightmare Before Christmas! She knows that Halloween and Christmas don’t work well together and bad things will happen, and she’s willing to try to rescue Santa from Oogie Boogie
A whole set of Nightmare Before Christmas sets would be awesome. Doctor finklestines lab, oogie boogie’s lair, Mayors car, and a Christmas land would be amazing. I really hope they make more sets with more characters
Hopefully he does make other sets finklesteins house or oogie boogies lair or lock, shock and barrels house. Hopefully if they do they build the hanging tree with 5 skeleton figure hanging and hope that they also make a mini figure set for the other iconic characters
I’m very excited about this set! Kingdom hearts was also my first exposure to this movie and where my love of it comes from. Can’t wait to get this one!
First Home Alone then Hocus Pocus, and now this now I just need Beetlejuice and the Polar Express, and I would have all of my favorite Holliday movies as lego sets
This set looks so cool! I love how The Mayor is a brick built figure instead of a minifigure which I don’t know why he’s like that but I can’t help but love it.
Now, of course, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a staple of Halloween, but this year in particular seems to be when it's getting a lot of attention. In addition to LEGO releasing this playset, the next new season of Disney Speedstorm (as the Pirates of the Caribbean season just began) will be centered around Nightmare.
This is 100% going into my christmas display. While Oogie and Finklstein is missing I think the masks from Lock, Shock and Barrel is the miss but I love the set. Hopefully the mayors car can be added at some stage as with an Oogie set and Finklestein lab. And a tree with the Christmas door :)
Nightmare Before Christmas is famously not a Disney movie. It was released under the Touchstone Pictures banner because Disney didn’t want something of that subject material associated with their brand, but after it proved to be a massive success Disney re-branded it as part of the family.
Jack having normal legs and arms was a major complaining point of mine back with Disney series 2 so it’s really cool they’re finally amending that with this set
day one purchase, no question. nightmare is my favorite movie of all time, saw it in theaters the day it came out, and have seen it 600+ times since. overall, i'm very happy with this set, only real gripe is that that curling tendril on the spiral hill can't elongate into the slope that jack walks down. i do love that they include optional christmas deco that you can affix. that's a nice touch, but i agree, having the christmas deco be in halloween colors would be more accurate.. locle, shock and barrel not having masks also seems like a huge missed opportunity, but i get that lego may have seen making exclusive pieces just for them to be cost prohibitive - maybe we'll get them in the future. i also wish they could've made jack skinnier, but, again, new parts = more cost to make. same with sandy claws being fatter. also, i wouldn't have said no if this set was 25-30 more and included brick built christmas and halloween doors. would've really loved that. maybe they can do them as smaller, individual sets. honestly, the only thing that would have made this set better is, either, the inclusion of more of the characters, or, oogie's house. although, oogie's house would make a great set on it's own. to be honest, there's so much to nightmare (oogie's house, the mayor's car, christmastown, the door forest, the 'making christmas' sequence, the 'this is halloween' sequence, the final showdown, dr. finkelstiens's house, etc.) that i really hope this isn't a one off, and there will be many more sets to come. i really want a full halloween town diorama, and, since these buildings are all techni pin connected, it would be really easy to flesh it out with more, smaller sets that you could connect in. hopefully, this is just the start.
Its such a great set! Might have to be a day one. I hope they'll do an Oogie's lair as a second set! Though I'm not sure what Lego's stance is with gambling. 🎲🎲
I understand that they wanted to give Jack his lab but the lab is actually in the tower and here the tower looks like a chimney. I wish they had added some window pieces to make it look like the lab even though they are using the main house as the lab.
