LEGO Animal Crossing sets officially revealed
Five LEGO Animal Crossing sets have been revealed, complete with international prices and a full array of pictures.
Following on from some now-confirmed rumours, the LEGO Group has officially revealed the colourful array of LEGO Animal Crossing sets, due to release in March 2024. The sets range from the tiny 170-piece 77046 Julian’s Birthday Party, priced at £12.99 / €14.99 / $14.99, all the way up to the larger and more detailed 77050 Nook’s Cranny & Rosie’s House, priced at £64.99 / €74.99 / $74.99. All of the sets come with at least one animal minifigure, pulled straight from the game, as well as a variety of bright accessories.
Alongside individual photos of each set, the LEGO Group has also released an image of all five sets lined up together. The angle of the set and the accurate design of the elements mean that, when grouped together, the LEGO Animal Crossing theme really does give the impression of being a brick-built island, just like you might have made for yourself in the Nintendo game.
Here’s a closer look at each of the five LEGO Animal Crossing sets in detail, as well as all the images available for each and every one of the upcoming models.
77046 Julian’s Birthday Party
Retailing for £12.99 / €14.99 / $14.99, 77046 Julian’s Birthday Party is the second smallest, yet most affordable set, but packs plenty of colour into its 170 pieces. Julian is celebrating his birthday in style, with pink cloud-shaped trees, balloons, cake, and plenty of presents, as well as some cleverly-designed streamers hanging overhead.
77047 Bunnie’s Outdoor Activities
The only other set to come with only one minifigure, 77047 Bunnie’s Outdoor Activities will retail for £17.99 / €19.99 / $19.99 for its 164 pieces. Bunnie is ready to camp by a blue waterfall, surrounded by trees and flowers, ideal for the handy gardening kit that stores easily in a LEGO pot. Bonus points in this set for the adorable smores set-up that Bunnie has ready to go by the fire.
77048 Kapp’n’s Island Boat Tour
As the LEGO Animal Crossing sets get bigger, we now have two minifigures included in 77048 Kapp’n’s Island Boat Tour, priced at £24.99/ €29.99 / $29.99. Kapp’n and Marshall can boat around in front of a palm-tree-filled shore, with hot flashes, fish, and uniquely-designed waves to keep them company.
77049 Isabelle’s House Visit?
77049 Isabelle’s House Visit is the first LEGO Animal Crossing set to introduce a formal building, as clued in by the name. For £34.99/ €39.99 / $39.99, you’ll get a 389-piece structure, complete with a gift flying in by balloon (Animal Crossing’s unique postal service), a bright red door to match the apples on the trees, and various adorable accessories for Isabella and Fauna, the two minifigures included, to enjoy.
77050 Nook’s Cranny & Rosie’s House
Finally, the largest and most expensive set of the wave is 77050 Nook’s Cranny & Rosie’s House, featuring the big man himself: Tom Nook. Priced at £64.99 / €74.99 / $74.99, this set is made up of 535 pieces and measures 39cm wide. You’ll get two buildings for that price: Tom Nook’s shop and Rosie’s house, where you can enjoy tea and listen to some music on the brick-built radio. You can also start working away at your debt to Tom, with DIY recipe card, flower seeds, fish bait and tools ready to exchange for some all-important Bells.

Animal crossing figs remind me of Fabuland animals…I have several…so cute!
Hasbro went down a similar route with their windowless packaging for their 6″ action figure lines and they’ll be returning with window packaging next year due to the criticism received from collector’s and the like. The issue with cardboard packaging is that you can’t see what you are purchasing and there were many instances where people were switching out figures and returning them with rubbish. Also QC issues were hidden. I’d received poorly made G.I. Joe Classified figures that I had to return to get a replacement for instance.
Lego’s packaging is slightly different (because there’s no way to easily reseal them) but the same argument remains in that collector’s don’t know what they’re going to receive. At least with foil bags you had half a chance and Lego store staff were in a position to sell individual figures that you wanted because they could feel and identify what was in the bag.
I can see this move ultimately killing off the desire for collector’s to purchase these going forward.
