With spooky season right around the corner, this is a perfect time to build LEGO’s awesome Nightmare Before Christmas set. If you haven’t picked it up yet, but it’s one you’ve had your eye on, Amazon’s offering an excellent deal on it at the moment with its price knocked down to $160.
Normally this set retails for $199.99, so this discount allows you to keep $39.99 in your pocket, but that’s not all. Price tracking site camelcamelcamel even shows that this deal price is a brand new low for the build at Amazon, which is an exciting bonus. No tricks here, just a sweet LEGO treat for collectors.

The debate will surely go on forever, but no matter if you love watching this movie at Halloween, or prefer to watch it a few months from now at Christmas, this delightful set for adults looks well worth having up on display in these later months of the year. In terms of bricks, you’ll get 2,193 pieces that create three locations from the film: Spiral Hill and the graveyard, Jack Skellington’s house, and Halloween Town Hall with a fountain outside.
Each location looks chock-full of fun details and, of course, you’ll get plenty of characters to sprinkle throughout the scenery. Eight of them, in fact. Leading the group is minifigures of Jack Skellington alongside Sally, Santa Clause, Lock, Shock, and Barrel, plus The Mayor who comes with two faces to swap between and a figure of Zero the dog.
We certainly think it’s worth buying, as it currently sits on both our lists of the best LEGO Disney sets and the best LEGO Ideas sets. Writer Kevin Wong also found assembling it to be a joy, writing in his We Build that “This set’s individual elements are pleasantly “chunky” , they have weight and shape to them, and it feels good to fit the numerous rooms and floors together to form a bigger house.” So, if its got your attention, why not take this opportunity to pick it up while it’s still on sale?
