The build was fun with my children. The middle building was top heavy and fell over exploding twice once from the fall and then from picking the building up to move it. The tree branches were confusing in lay out after build. Many details not seen in display were an added nice touch. Glad to see Jack Skellington having longer Lego legs compared to previous figures.
My husband had a blast putting this together for me. It's super cute, it had lots of bricks, and it took him about a day and a half. Design things I personally would have changed because I feel lego just missed a great opportunity..... #1 The days till Christmas could have been the most adorable Christmas Countdown. It could have had little numbered mini bricks, allowing for the builder to remove the bricks and functionally countdown to Christmas. That would have made this set amazing; and I'm willing to bet even more desirable. At the moment the set just has a sticker. #2 The fountain, you make light up bricks, the underneath of the fountain could have lit up when you pushed down on it. That would have been amazing becuse every time you see any Jack skeleton nightmare before Christmas toy showing the fountain, the green slime water is lit up, and glows that iridescent green. I was especially surprised considering the fountain bricks are kind of a clear murky green color. #3 last but not least, would be maybe an idea for a future set that could go with this to build on, to make more of like a Halloween,/Christmas village. I know I'm not alone with oggie boogie being my favorite character, the trick-or-treaters are there but no Oggie? Maybe adding a building of his lair, for future fun. :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this set for myself, but my son and his husband asked if they could help build it. The three of us had a great time since we all love this set.
We had a blast putting this set together, even without our children's help. There are so many details, so we watched the movie while assembling the set as a reminder.
