New LEGO sets fill in missing characters & locations, making the collection more complete for fans.
Concert at the Plaza & Fly with Dodo Airlines sets offer detailed scenes from the game, with added minifigures.

As a long-time fan of both Animal Crossing and LEGO, I must say that the latest releases have truly hit the nail on the head. The Fly with Dodo Airlines set is an absolute delight for any collector, and it brings a touch of nostalgia to my life as I remember spending countless hours flying Wilbur around my island in the game.

As a gamer, I can’t contain my excitement when I think about last year’s announcement from LEGO – they were releasing sets in partnership with Animal Crossing! The opportunity to create my dream island in real life was too good to pass up. The first LEGO Animal Crossing sets were jam-packed with beloved characters and locations straight out of New Horizons, like Isabelle, Kapp’n, and the ever-popular Nook’s Cranny store. And let’s not forget about the fan-favorite villagers they added to the collection as well!

As a passionate gamer immersed in the Animal Crossing world, I must admit that while the initial LEGO Animal Crossing sets were quite diverse, they fell short in terms of representing some iconic characters. Characters like K.K. Slider, Blathers, Flick, and the Dodo brothers were sorely missing. However, the latest additions to the LEGO Animal Crossing lineup are bridging that gap significantly. They’re introducing more minifigures and familiar locations, expanding the LEGO collection in a way that no Animal Crossing enthusiast would dare to miss out on.

As a gaming enthusiast, always on the lookout for new additions to my LEGO collection with a gaming twist, I recommend you explore Game Rant’s pieces highlighting top-notch LEGO sets designed for gamers. Also, don’t miss out on these seven freshly unveiled LEGO Minecraft sets!

Concert at the Plaza: LEGO Animal Crossing’s Biggest Set Yet

LEGO Animal Crossing Finally adds Iconic Musician K.K. Slider to the Series

Previously, the largest LEGO Animal Crossing set available was Nook’s Cranny & Rosie’s House, consisting of approximately 535 pieces. Compared to this, K.K. Slider’s Concert at the Plaza, priced $5 higher, is now the biggest and most detailed set, boasting a total of 550 pieces, making it the most comprehensive LEGO Animal Crossing set so far.

As a dedicated Animal Crossing: New Horizons player with countless hours spent customizing my virtual island, I find the Concert at the Plaza set to be a must-have for any enthusiast of this beloved game. With iconic characters like K.K. and familiar locations such as the café and the autumnal tree, it brings a touch of nostalgia that transports me back to my days on the island. The addition of the ACNH bulletin board with a bird perched atop adds a lively, interactive element that truly makes this set stand out. It’s not just a toy; it’s a piece of my gaming memories come to life!

In addition to Isabelle and K.K., one notable feature in this collection is a LEGO model of the Residential Services building from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which players often visit. While the building isn’t perfectly sized like it appears in the game, it does contain familiar interior elements such as the Nook Stop counter and the town’s recycling bin.

This LEGO set also adds three new minifigures to the lineup, including the iconic musician K.K. Slider, Isabelle dressed in a cozy outfit befitting the change in weather, and the peppy fox-inspired villager, Audie.

Fly with Dodo Airlines: Adventure and Details Abound

In this popular game, Dodo Airports are instantly recognizable landmarks located at the base of every player’s island. Ideal for both children and enthusiasts, the Dodo Airlines collection offers Wilbur’s famous seaplane, an airport, docking area, and a tiny beach inhabited by a crab.

In comparison to what’s shown in the game, the interior of the airport in the Concert at the Plaza set is noticeably smaller. Yet, it’s astonishing how many details LEGO has managed to pack into this compact space. From the potted plants to the map and iconic orange gate, the set seems remarkably lively. Additionally, you can personalize the flag outside the airport, as you do in the game.

As a longtime fan of aviation and LEGO sets, I can confidently say that the Fly with Dodo Airlines set is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast. With two new minifigures included – Tangy the tangerine-inspired cat villager, and Wilbur the dodo bird pilot – this set promises to bring a unique and lively touch to any LEGO cityscape.

Price & Availability

At many popular stores, you can buy either the Concert at the Plaza package or the Fly with Dodo Airlines set. The Concert at the Plaza is available for purchase on Amazon, Best Buy, and Target for a price of $80.

Likewise, you can find the Fly with Dodo Airlines set for $38 on Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.

What’s Next For LEGO Animal Crossing?

In their newest LEGO Animal Crossing releases, fans have been introduced to many cherished characters and scenes. However, one can’t help but wonder, what will be the future developments in the world of LEGO Animal Crossing?

It seems there are several notable characters and settings yet to be included in the LEGO collection. Maybe the upcoming LEGO Animal Crossing set could include the museum and café, featuring mini-figures of Brewster and Blathers.

Absolutely, additional LEGO sets based on events in Animal Crossing, such as K.K. Slider’s concert, would be exciting. For instance, a set focused on bug-catching with Flick or stargazing with Celeste could be fun ideas. Regardless of the theme, fans are eagerly anticipating what new LEGO Animal Crossing sets will be revealed next.
