Animal Crossing Lego includes Nook’s Cranny, Island Tour sets

Lego and Nintendo have officially revealed the first wave of Lego Animal Crossing sets, with the first five dioramas priced and dated for launch in March 2024. As expected, the sets include an array of familiar faces, with Isabelle, Tom Nook, and Kapp’n leading a flock of fan-favourite villagers, all housed in iconic Animal Crossing locations.

Nook’s Cranny is the flagship location of this wave, serving as the town centre of a buildable island. You can also nab two villager homes with these sets, as well as an island beach, and Kapp’n’s boat, which takes villagers on tours. A campsite and garden party set round out the inclusions, adding in some cute activities for the Lego villagers to take part in.

As announced by Lego, you can swap and change elements of each collectible set, including building construction (windows, door frames, gardens) to add your own touch to your island. Notably, the sets are relatively modular, so you can arrange them as you choose – and later make room for a likely next wave of Animal Crossing Lego sets.

The sets are expected to be widely available at all major toy retailers – and they’re likely to be very popular, much like Nintendo‘s fellow Super Mario Lego sets.

While never previously considered a ‘flagship’ brand for Nintendo, the profile of Animal Crossing has grown significantly over the last few years, buoyed by the release of New Horizons in early 2020. It has since fostered a passionate fanbase with a keen eye for collectibles.

If you’ve got your eyes on any of these upcoming Lego sets, it’s best to stay tuned for launch in March 2024.
