Time for a look at something I’ve been working on for about 18 months…my Lego Animal Crossing collection!

I’ve slowly been adding buildings and scenes to my village, until I finally collected every set that’s been available in the US to date, starting with Isabelle’s House Visit:

Some sets are quite small, like Maple’s Pumpkin Garden:

Surprisingly, Stargazing with Celeste came out before the museum she used to be housed in!

The Able Sisters Clothing Shop was my first store:

Followed by Nook’s Cranny & Rosie’s House, which adds both another house and another store to my village:

K.K.’s Concert at the Plaza includes what is probably the most important building in the game, the Town Hall:

Bunnie’s Outdoor Activities has a cute waterfall and an adorable tent with all the important camping supplies (mainly marshmallows to roast):

Kapp’n’s Island Boat Tour adds some beach elements:

Leif’s Caravan & Garden Shop brings in some more vehicles:

As does Fly with Dodo Airlines, a set that Ryan appropriately bought for me when he was in Japan:

Julian’s Birthday Party is a fun set to pair with the Town Hall:

And he makes another appearance in the Julian’s Beach Painting set:

Goldie’s Cozy House is tiny and cute:

Blathers’s Museum Collection was a late, but very necessary addition…I just wish they had actually included Brewster and The Roost!

The Creative Houses: Seasons of Fun set adds two more homes, a lovely bridge, and trees for every time of year:

I have a shopping district in my village:

And a residential area:

The museum complex:

And the center of village life, the Town Hall and Plaza:

Both the airport and the campsite are located on the beach:

And there’s even a lovely community garden!

Here’s a look at my 26 minifigs representing 24 characters (I have two different Isabelles in addition to the previously-mentioned double Julians):

It’s an active village!

I don’t know what the future holds for Lego Animal Crossing. There’s a set scheduled to be released in August, but it’s not a minifig scale set, and while it’s cute, it’s also very different, and won’t be a part of the village proper. But I hope that at some point in the future, I’ll be able to offer an update because they’ve added additional sets, and especially characters, because there are a lot of friendly faces I’ld still like to add to my village!
