It’s FINALLY happened! LEGO have announced a brand new Nintendo theme with LEGO Animal Crossing coming soon!

UPDATE: LEGO have officially revealed the sets from LEGO Animal Crossing which will be out in March 2024!

• 77046 Julian’s Birthday Party – US$14.99 / £12.99/ €14,99
• 77047 Bunnie’s Outdoor Activities  – US$19.99 / £17.99 / €19.99
• 77048 Kapp’n’s Island Boat Tour
• 77049  Isabelle’s House Visit 
• 77050 Nook’s Cranny & Rosie´s House

LEGO Animal Crossing is based on the best-selling Nintendo game, Animal Crossing which sees players play as villagers that settle on a quaint island inhabited by anthropomorphic talking animals that you can befriend and run errands for to obtain currency (bells), furniture and clothing items.

A teaser page has appeared on LEGO.com, however we don’t have a firm release date yet, or any idea of the number of LEGO Animal Crossing sets we’ll get, although its safe to expect the sets to be released in early 2024.

These are the rumoured LEGO Animal Crossing set numbers.

• 77046
• 77047
• 77048
• 77049
• 77050

In the teaser, we see a massive cast of well-known Animal Crossing characters. From left to right we have Rosie, Bunnie, Marshall (one of the most popular villagers), Kappa, Fauna, Julian, and the mayor, Isabelle as well as local entrepreneur Tom Nook.

As a player, you begin by being indebted to Tom Nook, and have to fish, collect fruit, and sell items to pay off your home loan, mirroring real life.

As a massive Animal Crossing fan, this is a dream come true for me, especially as I predicted way back in 2020 that we’d see a LEGO Animal Crossing theme, which would be an excellent spiritual successor to Fabuiland.

We don’t have a release date yet, but expect these to be released in 2024! I cannot wait to see what the sets look like, but the minifigures with their moulded head look excellent.
