Lego’s latest collaboration with Nintendo isn’t part of its digitally enhanced Mario line or its pricey collector-series display kits. It’s an honest-to-god plain and simple Lego line—and it takes us away from the Mushroom Kingdom and to the faraway islands of Animal Crossing without enacting too heavy of a toll on your wallet.

Officially revealed today by Lego after a tease last week, five new sets based on the smash-hit latest entry in the Animal Crossing series, New Horizons, will release on March 1, 2024. Sending players on an island life getaway rather than starting a home in a quiet town, New Horizons became a breakout hit thanks to an unfortunately perfectly timed release during the early weeks of the 2020 pandemic shutdowns, and the series’ crafting-driven, laid-back nature is a perfect next step for Nintendo and Lego’s burgeoning relationship (sorry to all the Legend of Zelda fans still hoping and dreaming for one of those Ideas pitches to actually make it through at some point).
