I always wanted that dictator Tom Nook to wake up in the morning and step on a piece of LEGO.

Now dreams are coming true, as Nintendo and LEGO are coming together to release Animal Crossing sets.

That's right, Animal Crossing's cutest villagers are coming to your house brick by brick, and they don't seem too expensive.

LEGO announces an Animal Crossing collab

Any money that you get for Christmas, you might want to store that in a safe until the springtime, as LEGO is bringing out Animal Crossing pieces.

The esteemed block-on-block makers took to social media to announce the collaboration, although the details of what the sets will include are all rather scarce.

The small trailer did showcase some of Animal Crossing's most-loved characters though, with the likes of Isabelle, Julian, and Deer joining Nook with a new and fresh blockhead look.
