LEGO Unveils Nightmare Before Christmas Set
Just in time for the season of ghouls and goblins, LEGO is releasing a highly anticipated set inspired by Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, capturing the eerie charm of Halloween Town.
This 2,193-piece set includes iconic locations like Spiral Hill and Jack Skellington’s house, along with eight beloved characters.
Designed by a fan and voted into production, it will be available on September 6 for $199.99, with early access for LEGO Insiders on September 3.
Check out more details about ↳Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas at the LEGO site.
LEGO Goes Retro with Goonies and Gremlins Winners in 80s Challenge
LEGO fans took the Delorean back to the 80s in the "If We Could Turn Back Time" challenge, where two winning models emerged: a detailed recreation of The Goonies adventure and an adorable rendition of Gizmo from Gremlins.
The competition drew nearly 290 submissions, and these fan-favorite builds are set to become official LEGO Ideas sets, proving that the 80s are still totally rad.
The drawback?
The sets will likely undergo further development to get them to be production ready. It will be way into 2025 before any of them hits the shelves. Good things come to those who wait... and wait... and wait.
