Animal Crossing: New Horizons LEGO sets bring the favorite domestic game to life in a tangible medium. There are a total of eight sets, each with one building or location, along with one or more adorable little ones AC minifigure. Although they are all related in theme, they do not actually form a cohesive unit when combined, but this is not a problem for one creative fan.
Redditor johnschlemmer Has combined all these Animal Crossing Set in one impressive rectangular island. Johnschlemmer says the layout took some fiddling with to get right, but the result is a city full of life, and a very natural-looking setup.
The redditor even includes the LEGO minifigs of ACNHs characters in places where it makes sense, placing KK Slider and Isabelle at the plaza, while Cap’n floats along in his boat at the beach. Looking at the construction of the town, it is easy to believe that the separate sets were always put together in this way.

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, with two staple island locations: The Plaza and Dodo Airlines. Each set has between 170 and 550 pieces, with the exception of Maple 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 32×32 baseplates that the entire build stands on. The Town Hall takes center stage, fittingly, and it is surrounded by the rest of the houses, trees, and other decor. Johnschlemmer says the setup was created “For the kids to play with their table,“But comments to the post admit that they would like to play with the city itself, even as adults.
The struggle of picking an island layout in Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is known to many players, so it is impressive to see its physical manifestation. There could be more sets to the collection, so it’s possible that LEGO City will need to expand before long.
