I discussed the LEGO-themed items in the Version 3.0 release of New Horizons, but pre-dating this was the release of real-life LEGO sets featuring all of the familiar sights and locations on our luxury islands. The collaboration started a few years ago with Super Mario LEGO sets, and then recently continued with Animal Crossing and […]

Last but certainly of least of these builds is the LEGO table. Here’s my take on it. All of the parts should be pretty common except 38585; it took me forever to dig up that one! Should be readily accessible on Pick a Brick.

This was an interesting build. The only complicated part was finding the piece for the feet, part number 38585. Other than that, they’re probably pieces you have lying around, if not in the exact color.

Admittedly, this was the hardest to figure out, as a lot of the parts aren’t your typical ones. But I think I got it mostly right. Please feel free to send over any corrections in the comments. If you’re not familiar with LEGO’s Botanical Collection, this one is a direct homage to LEGO set 10369.

This was another tricky one, but once I tracked down the right pieces on Bricklink it was straightforward. This is one where you may need to get a little creative, as Pick a Brick may not have specialty pieces like the 1×2 Brick with the brickface design in the primary LEGO colors. You may need […]

Here’s how to DIY your own DIY Workbench using LEGOs you have lying around the house. I thought this was going to be one of the harder ones to recreate, but it turns out it was really simple. The more I do these, the more I admire how fastidiously the LEGO Group protects its brand […]

The LEGO Bed in Animal Crossing’s new update using a lot of pieces that are fairly common, although parts like 30136, 5848, and 5849 may be harder to come by in basic Creative sets—I remember seeing a lot of these pieces before, but they were mostly in specialized builds and not the LEGOs I have […]

First of all, a big hat-tip to the folks at Bricklink, who in conjunction with the LEGO group created Bricklink Studio (and who I learned just today is owned by LEGO). I tried asking AI to try to reverse-engineer each of the Animal Crossing in-game objects, and all of them were laughably wrong. And so […]

One of the things I was most excited about has been Nintendo’s recent collaboration with LEGO. I’ll discuss the fifteen (and counting) LEGO sets in the next post, but today I wanted to talk about the in-game LEGO elements that came with the Version 3.0 update. As with previous collaborations such as with Sanrio, there […]

The last time we got a major update to Animal Crossing New Horizons was the 2.0 release in November 2021. At the time, they said it would be the last update for Animal Crossing, but just last week they release version 3.0. Even better, it was free! I assume that they’re hard at work on […]
