Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

The build breaks neatly into three sections, which keeps things fresh instead of grinding through one giant structure. You'll work through the Spiral Hill, Jack's crooked house, and the Town Hall, and the fun here is getting things to look ramshackle and leaning while still being sturdy enough to display. There's plenty of sideways and angled building to sell that off-kilter Burton aesthetic, so it stays engaging without ever getting frustrating. It's pitched as welcoming for newer builders but detailed enough that veterans won't be bored, and the movie references you uncover along the way (the walking bathtub, the chalkboard formula) keep you grinning.

On the parts front, Jack is the headline. His long arms and legs are borrowed from the Avatar minifigure moulds, with the tall legs appearing in black for the very first time and printed to boot, which finally gives you a properly lanky Jack. LEGO even had to re-tool his bowtie element because the old Disney Series 2 mould no longer existed. Sally gets an upgrade too with a new dark red hair piece and fresh printing. The big full moon on Spiral Hill is a new large printed disc, and it's the piece that really sells the scene. Between the printed minifig parts, the recolors, and that moon, there's genuine parts-nerd value here even if the raw price per piece runs a touch high.
