History
Nintendo teased LEGO Animal Crossing via a short video on Twitter on October 5, 2023, featuring LEGO minifigures of various Animal Crossing characters.[1] The product line was fully announced on October 10, 2023, containing five sets based on Animal Crossing: New Horizons and releasing on March 1, 2024.[2] A smaller sixth set, Maple's Pumpkin Garden, was released alongside the other sets and was initially included with certain purchases of US$50.00 or more from the online LEGO Shop.
On April 26, 2024, LEGO announced that two more LEGO Animal Crossing sets, Fly with Dodo Airlines and K.K.'s Concert at the Plaza, would be released on August 1, 2024.[3]

Trivia
- The initial teaser trailer for LEGO Animal Crossing features the Kapp'n minifigure with long sleeves. In subsequent promotional material and the final product, his lower arms are colored green to match his short-sleeved appearance in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
- The LEGO Animal Crossing set “Nook's Cranny & Rosie's House” features fish food inside the cabinet in the Nook's Cranny model, but in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (the game after which the set was designed) Nook's Cranny does not have any fish food inside the cabinet, instead you have to craft it once you have obtained the DIY recipe.
