Talking about his design, Simon said, “I’m a massive fan of LEGO builds and Disney Tim Burton’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ film so I’m honoured to see my creation come to life in physical brick form. 

“The film is such a family hit with young & old fans from around the world. The ideas team have done a fantastic job creating a wonderfully playable set that is just as appealing as a display piece.”
