Poll: Which LEGO Animal Crossing Sets Will You Be Splashing Your Bells On?

Yes! The sets look great!

I'm a huge Lego and Animal Crossing fan and I love these, and we must all remember these are toys for kids, not collector-grade toys.

Wow, looking at the results, the people are underwhelmed. I for one really like these sets. They're just normal LEGO sets, they're not trying to reinvent the brick.

Isabelle's set for Isabelle,
but the Nook's Cranny's outside looks gorgeous

For what they are, the sets are pretty neat. Obviously aimed at a lower age market, so they are pretty simple and have a playhouse type feel to them so they're easily played with.

The prices though are egregious, waaaay too pricey for what is presented. The typical price to part ratio lego fans use as a metric for decent price (10 pence/cents a piece) isn't really there at all, and a ton of the parts seem to be very small parts that are cheaper for lego to produce. No specialised parts outside of minifigure heads, either.

But the sets are cool. Hope people invested in the series appreciate them more than I ever could. Looking forward to what nintendo lego collabs lie in the future.

I remember a 500 piece set used to cost around $40 dollars. I know theres been inflation, but thats more expensive than TOTK for a medium sized set.

Price aside, they’re ok. They seem good for the hobbyist builders who grab sets for the pieces themselves. Personally I’m more looking forward to the Piranha plant set.

I squealed like a happy hog when I saw the sets. I am thoroughly excited and can hardly contain my excitement.

@blindsquarel It's the license, licensed sets (of products not owned by Lego) are always more expensive.

For example; compare the UCS Millenium Falcon to the Lego Titanic.

The Titanic 9090 pieces for €679,99 (avg. €0,074 per piece)
The UCS Millenium Falcon 7541 pieces for €849,99 (avg €0,1127 per piece)

These Animal Crossing sets are very close in price per piece to the UCS Millenium Falcon.

Only set that actually doesn't follow this logic, is licensed and relatively cheap is the Hogwarts Castle & Grounds set. Which honestly is my favorite set made by Lego in the last 5 years or so. It has 2660 pieces and only costs €169,99 (only €0,0639 per piece, but most pieces are 1x1 or 1x2)

They're cute to be sure.

But I don't think I'd buy a single one.

The sets look super cute. Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour, Isabelle's House Visit and Nook's Cranny & Rosie's House are my favourites.
If I had to choose I would take Nook's Cranny & Rosie's house.

A café with K.K. and Brewster would be really nice.

I like them but no more room for frivolous purchases. I have two more chess sets to buy and finish out my gargoyles and star trek voyager figure collections and then I'm going to get somewhere and focus on my 401k. I will live vicariously though people that buy them.

as a series one bunch of sets, they aren't bad at all. people will always pick holes in whatever Lego do. Would be nice to have a blind-bag series to go along with them to boost the figure selection (ahem Pietro, Felicity, Alice, Snake and Rex).

I'm very torn on this one. I love that they exist and I'll probably try to get some. However, the sets feel a little bit lazy almost? Like I'm glad they aren't too expensive, but they also don't really feel like Animal Crossing set pieces from a proportion stand point.

Honestly these are a little disappointing. The cheaper tier sets especially are pretty underwhelming. Hoping that future series gives us more of the main characters like KK or Timmy & Tommy.

Not a fan. The sets are too pricy for what you get with them, and on top of that it feels like they’re ignoring the rest of the series for one of the worst entries in the series.

I'm not a fan of Animal Crossing so not interested in these (still curious I must admit) but it all looks very small. The mini figures do look nice.
Lego can make really nice pieces but also a lot of crap, so I just hope the fans are happy with this, and it's just a start. With all the characters in AC, there's room and time for plenty plenty more.

Will buy atleast some of them, maybe all. Love lego 😊 and looks like good sets for the kids.

I just want the cafe and Brewster now

The Kapp'n one for sure, feels the most "bang-for-your-buck" personally

I need Nook's Cranny and Isabelle's house. Maybe the Kapp'n set. The rest I will see about later.

Honestly I think the sets largely look ass, and in typical Lego fashion they are super expensive. I'll probably buy the minifigures separately if anything

the trees and fruit look quite good.

They are very cute. As others have said, reminiscent of Fabuland in their simplicity, which does suit the characters.

I was personally hoping for slightly fancier and more elaborate buildings, the fan made example in the tweet included in this article is still in a scale to fit the minifigures, but closer to what I was imagining. But I absolutely don't hate this, and I am still completely in love with the minifigs. My wallet is relieved that the preices are relatively lower than if they'd have gone the whole hog.

I'll buy Tom, Isabelle and Kapp'ns sets, the villagers so far are not ones I have a particular attacment to, I've never had any of them live on my island.

I'm baffled that we have no Town Hall or Museum... hopefully they are coming soon if the range does well?

im considering nook's cranny for the build on my lego video game shelf or isabelle's house for the minifig

I'm not a fan of the weird circle bases, instead of proper base plates. It gives the sets a strange anorexic look. And the colours are off on some, especially Julian's birthday party. Looks more Duplo or Lego Friends.

Bricklink, here I come! (for the minifigs )

I may buy one eventually, honestly just a minifig would be nice.

I want something with Ankha please.

Anything with Marshall gets my money

No Bob. No deal.

Fantastic, they come out just before my niece’s 8th birthday so that’s one present sorted!

This is clearly just the initial set, just look how many Mario and Sonic have. So don't worry K.K will definitely happen!

I've also sure that they'll do blind bags of the mini figure villagers.

This has the potential to be a line that taps into people’s imagination and creativity like the best classic Lego lines. The houses in Animal Crossing are modular, the landmarks are few, the characters and accessories nearly infinite. They could sell buckets of landscaping pieces and people would buy them to recreate their in game communities, where they could play out any scenario they could conceive of. People could devote tables or entire rooms to it.

Wave one includes hyper specific situations taking place on sparse patches of land that don’t really feel like pieces of a larger whole. The scale on Nook’s Cranny looks off. As a whole it’s disappointingly limited.

Hopefully later releases tap into the potential of the brand better, but there’s little beyond the animated ads to excite me so far.

I was joking about the going into debt bit...

They are not for me, and the prices seem really high, but I do agree they look good! I think for lego sets they are really neat and I'm sure a lot of kids will like them a lot.

Won't be getting any of these since there are no bear villagers.
