Animal Crossing Fan Builds Incredible LEGO Village By Combining Every Official Set

Animal Crossing: New Horizons LEGO sets bring the beloved cozy game to life in a tangible medium. There are eight sets in total, each containing one building or location, along with one or more adorable little AC minifigure. Though they're all related in theme, they don't actually form a cohesive unit when combined, but this wasn't a problem for one creative fan.

Redditor johnschlemmer has combined all the Animal Crossing sets into one impressive rectangular island. Johnschlemmer states that the layout took some fiddling with to get right, but the result is a town full of life, and a very natural-seeming setup.

The Redditor even includes the LEGO minifigs of ACNH's characters in places where it makes sense, placing KK Slider and Isabelle by the Plaza, while Kapp'n floats along in his boat by the beach. Looking at the town build, it's easy to believe that these separate sets were always meant to be put together like this.

The first six Animal Crossing LEGO sets became available on March 1, 2024. These included a mix of villager setups and some more well-known spaces like Nook's Cranny and Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour. Two more sets were released on August 1, featuring two staple island locations: the Plaza and Dodo Airlines. Each set has between 170 and 550 pieces, with the exception of Maple's Pumpkin Garden, which is a mini-set of only 29 pieces. The other sets include popular Animal Crossing villagers that many fans love, including Audie the wolf and Rosie the cat.

The island setup by johnschlemmer uses only the pieces in the official Animal Crossing LEGO sets, with one exception: the four 32x32 baseplates that the entire build stands on. The Town Hall takes center stage, fittingly, and it's surrounded by the rest of the houses, trees, and other decor. Johnschlemmer states that the setup was created "for the kids to play with at their table," but comments to the post it they'd love to play with the town themselves, even as adults.

The struggle of picking an island layout in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is known to many players, so it's impressive to see its physical manifestation. There may be more sets coming to the collection, so it's possible that this LEGO town will need to expand before long.
