The countdown has begun! After the teaser announcement last week, the official LEGO website has revealed 5 Animal Crossing sets which are due to arrive on March 1, 2024. While that's certainly a long time to wait, nothing is going to beat having Nook's Cranny sitting on your desk or in front your Switch dock.
- There are five sets that have been revealed.
- Sets range in price starting at $14.99 USD and going to $74.99 USD.
- All the sets in this article will release on March 1, 2024.
All the sets have a different fruit tree available, with a notable exception of Pears - could another set be on the horizon?
Nook's Cranny & Rosie's House (77050)
Nook's Cranny is an iconic building in Animal Crossing so it's no surprise it received the LEGO treatment. Being paired with Rosie's house makes it the largest set of the ones announced today. Does anyone else feel their bells being ripped away from their pockets?
- 535 Pieces
- Retails for $74.99 USD
- Features the Orange fruit
Isabelle's House Visit (77049)
Isabelle, who first made her appearance on the Nintendo 3DS with New Leaf as your secretary, most recently appeared on the Switch in New Horizons in a similar role at the island's Resident Services building. She can be seen in this new LEGO set visiting the real star of the set, Fauna.
- 389 Pieces
- Retails for $39.99 USD
- Features the Apple fruit
Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour (77048)
We won't be hearing Kapp'n's famous tunes in this LEGO set, but the boat tour is certainly at full sail bringing Marshal to a fun looking island. Palm trees, bamboo, and fishing are all present and as LEGO says, every element is movable, which leads to limitless customizable fun. You'd think Marshal would be just a little bit happier being alone on an island.
- 233 Pieces
- Retails for $29.99 USD
- Features the Coconut fruit
Bunnie's Outdoor Activities (77047)
Bunnie and camping are the stars of this set. There are spiders and butterflies to catch with the net, a waterfall and river tile to jump over, and some delicious looking marshmallows to roast over the campfire.
- 164 Pieces
- Retails for $19.99 USD
- Features the Cherry fruit
Julian's Birthday Party (77046)
The smallest set of the bunch but it is mighty majestic. Julian's having his birthday party, which takes place on March 15, or 14 days after this set makes its debut next year which is perfect timing.
- 170 Pieces
- Retails for $14.99 USD
- Features a Cherry Blossom tree and a Cherry fruit

Comments
I'm sorry, but what? This has to be a typo. Well, maybe not. After all it's the same company that thought that this 124 pieces set is worth 40$
Half of the Animal Crossing set seems to be in the awning and roofing tiles lmao
...also yeah, I totally believe the price: I loved LEGO when I was younger, but it has been hella expensive seemingly forever. I'm just gonna hold onto my pieces and give them to my kid, if they ever become a thing :D
I didn't believe you at first, 124 pieces for $40 USD but what in the world?? The set is Tenoo Jedi Temple for anyone else following along.
I was going to make the argument that the branded sets always have some kind of a premium attached, but I can't say I've seen anything that excessive. It's not like there are very unique things going on either. One could argue three minifigs in a smaller set add to price, and the printed on bricks, but I'm not buying it.
Maybe if the bricks were super big; Julian's set has more bricks than Bunnie's set but its cheaper because the bricks are mostly tiny accent pieces which makes sense. I am so glad that I don't collect Star Wars LEGO.
