LEGONintendo's partnership has steadily expanded over the past few years to the point where it has branched out into several of the company's biggest franchises. Super Mario paved the way in 2020 but newer topics like Animal Crossing and The Legend of Zelda have helped to make the collaboration wider than ever. With additional Pokemon With LEGO sets also rumored to be on the horizon, 2026 could be one of the busiest years yet for Nintendo-inspired releases.
Animal Crossing has already built a solid foundation within the Nintendo and LEGO line through small modular playsets and character-centric builds. Now, a new alleged entry may continue that momentum into the summer. While information remains scarce, an unconfirmed listing for set #77059 surfaced online in the first quarter of 2026, giving fans at least a hint of what could be the next addition to the cozy life-sim theme.

If accurate, that price would put the set in the mid-range of LEGO Animal Crossing lineup. It would also make it the fifth most expensive set released in the theme, suggesting a build with a bit more scope than some of the smaller village-centric games. For now, however, the exact contents and number of bricks of the set remain unknown.
The same leaker also addressed speculation that the set could include LEGO's recently introduced Smart Play platform, a new initiative aimed at linking digital interaction with physical constructions. According to the source, if so Animal Crossing The Smart Play kit is currently in development, kit #77059 probably won't be.
What LEGO Animal Crossing Set #77059 could be
While there is no specific information on what the set will contain, Animal Crossing the theme still has plenty of locations and characters that could translate well into LEGO form. Several core locations from the games have already received sets, including the campsite, museum, airport, Able Sisters shop, Nook's Cranny and the town hall. However, many areas of fandom remain unexplored. Possible candidates for a mid-sized set like #77059 might include:
-
Brewster's Cafe inside the museum, a popular location featured in later Animal Crossing titles
-
Redd's Treasure Trawler, complete with the game's infamous fake artwork
-
A beach scene with Gulliver recreating one of the franchise's recurring encounters
LEGO Animal Crossing it also has several iconic buildings from earlier games to revisit. Potential returns may include:
-
Mail from the elder Animal Crossing titles
-
Club LOL, a night club location from New sheet
-
Shampoodle, a salon run by Harriet
-
Re-Tail, a recycling shop from Animal Crossing: New Leaf
LEGO also often incorporates vehicles into their sets, which opens the door to more creative possibilities. Vehicles like Kapp'n's boat, his taxi or bus from the older games, or even Gracie's car could provide a unique build that still fits the relaxed aesthetic of the series.
The Animal Crossing LEGO theme still has plenty of room to grow
While details surrounding kit #77059 remain scarce, Animal Crossing The LEGO theme still has considerable expansion potential. The series' village game lends itself naturally to modular builds, small character packs, and environment-focused playsets that are easy to link together.
With this flexibility, a mid-priced set like #77059 could fill several different roles in a set, whether that means expanding a village, introducing a new character location, or revisiting fan-favorite areas from past games. However, until more information emerges, fans will likely have to wait a little longer to find out exactly what LEGO is planning next Animal Crossing release.
