LEGO Nightmare Before Christmas and Red London Telephone Box are coming to LEGO Ideas!

February 9, 2023 | 35

LEGO Ideas has announced the results of the Second 2022 Review Round and The Nightmare Before Christmas and  Red London Telephone Box have been selected as the winners, and will now enter production!

There were 51 LEGO fan designs in the 2022 Review Round, so it’s nice to see more than one set make it through the review process.

I am slightly gutted that Bluey didn’t make it!

Nightmare Before Christmas was one of the sets that was on my predictions/wishlist, so I’m stoked that we’re finally getting a minifigure-scale Jack Skellington set, which we should hopefully see just in time for Christmas 2024.

Red London Telephone Box was a bit of a surprise, but a welcome on. Anglophiles will be delighted to have the iconic and once-ubiquitous Red Telephone Box as a brick-built display model, and I think it’ll go quite nicely with the now-retired 10258 Creator Expert London Bus

That said, there is a mini London Bus available now if you missed out on the Creator Expert version.

Here’s a better look at some of the fan-designs of The Nightmare Before Christmas by Tvrulesmylife and  Red London Telephone Box by Bricked1980. Do note that these are fan designs, and the LEGO Ideas team will now adapt these before they unveil the final LEGO models.

And that’s it! Congratulations again to the fan designers for getting their LEGO Ideas projects selected! It seems like quite a safe pick from the LEGO Ideas team. Nightmare Before Christmas seems like the perfect LEGO Ideas pick – a nostalgic IP, with cult-favourite characters, that’s Disney-themed and has a seasonal hook, assuring that it’s a commercial success.

The Red London Telephone is a bit out of left field, but I think should make for a great desk ornament/paperweight-type model. It’s an iconic part of London’s identity, and I’m looking forward to some really sophisticated and classy building techniques in the final model, which should hopefully not break the bank.

Up next, we have the results of the Third 2022 LEGO review period to look forward to, with results expected in Summer 2023 (Northern Hemisphere). Check them all out here.
