<p>A fan-made LEGO set based on <strong>Animal Crossing</strong>‘s Nook’s Cranny shop is being officially reviewed by the company as part of its LEGO Ideas campaign.</p>
<p>As you may be aware, the LEGO Ideas website allows fans to submit their very own designs for approval. If a design gets 10,000 votes from the community, it’s automatically put forward for review by LEGO and can end up being a real product found on store shelves–the designer can enjoy 1% of the royalties, too.</p>
<p>The Nook’s Cranny design, inspired by the store’s appearance in <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/animal_crossing_new_horizons"><strong>Animal Crossing: New Horizons</strong></a> on Switch, is one of a whopping <a class="external" href="https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09b6-0d4c-4307-9da8-3ee9f3d368d6/post/7696ae13-04f6-4b79-a90b-116910734eb4">35 Ideas</a> that have made it through for review. Both the inside and outside are fully kitted out, and there’s even a Villager Minifigure sporting the classic ‘number 1’ t-shirt.</p>
<p>“As a fan of Animal Crossing, I have wanted to do a build from the game,” says the design’s creator, <a class="external" href="https://ideas.lego.com/projects/7268ebc2-160d-4480-8b47-6fa68fa5564a">Micro_Model_Maker</a>. “I have seen a lot of house builds from the game so I have decided to do Nook’s Cranny to shake things up a bit. The build features an interior; I tried to get it as close to the game as possible but due to size I have had to move some things around, however I believe it captures the spirit”.</p>

<p>The creator also wants to include Timmy and Tommy Minifigures, but didn’t have the parts needed. They say that new moulds might be required to pull that off.</p>
<p>As it happens, plenty of video game designs are making it through LEGO Ideas this year. A few months ago, <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/05/zelda_sonic_and_untitled_goose_game_sets_are_being_officially_reviewed_by_lego">sets based on The Legend of Zelda, Sonic, and Untitled Goose Game</a> also passed the test and are currently under review.</p>
<p>We’d love to see these hit the market, but it’s important to remember that reaching this stage doesn’t guarantee success. LEGO and Nintendo may well have <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/07/exclusive_lego_super_mario_lead_designer_on_3d-printed_prototypes_aborted_ar_and_meeting_koji_kondo">a pretty great relationship</a> these days, but sets like this would still need to be approved by the Big N, too.</p>
<p>Would you snap one of these up given the chance? Let us know in the comments.</p>
