LEGO 21351 Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

I enjoyed every minute of this build. The minifigs are excellent (although Jack, Sally, and Zero stand out as particularly delightful). The attention to detail is consistent throughout, the three major facades are truly breathtaking, and I appreciate how the design thoughtfully includes splashes of color that really pop against the overwhelmingly black/gray buildings and landscape. I appreciate that you can either connect all three parts or separate them to suit your display needs. And the price definitely feels worth it considering everything you get. Building the set brought back all the childhood nostalgia of watching the film, and I'm excited to display it next to the Hocus Pocus set from last year. Bravo!

This is a very nice and cute set. I've put the town hall and the hill scene together so far. There are a few things I would change if I could. There are some areas where there's a spider placed or even a skeleton in the town hall that you cannot see from the outside and there's no opening from which to view them like most sets. I thought I was missing the banner for town hall and accidentally found it in the bottom of the box, by itself along with Jack's jacket tails in a tiny flat brown envelope. I almost called Lego saying I didn't have that piece. I only found it after I misplaced my sticker sheet and I dug through the box and dumped it all out looking for them. Otherwise I'd probably have thrown it away. I think the moon on the hill scene should be plastic and ... MoreThis is a very nice and cute set.

Otherwise I'd probably have thrown it away. I think the moon on the hill scene should be plastic and not flimsy paper that can be bent. You pay $200 for Legos, you expect it all to be quality materials. However, I am really enjoying putting the set together. Great idea!

So I love Nightmare Before Christmas and I love Lego. This should have been a dream build, but I just found the whole build experience so disappointing. It feels flimsy and a lot of the structures seem to hold on with just one or two connections. I accept that it looks good, but when I tried to move sections, it literally falls apart. Other issues have been a missing part, an incorrectly coloured part in a pack and some pieces not fitting/connecting properly - such as the mayors hat.In terms of value I'm also disappointed. Big sections of the build are completely hidden unless you pull the build apart. Feels like they've added extra stuff just to try and justify the cost. Would honestly have preferred emptier buildings (that were sturdier) with more external ... MoreSo I love Nightmare Before Christmas and I love Lego.
