At Bricks Cascade 2025 in Portland, Oregon, Beyond the Bricks made a pitstop at one of the standout builds: the LEGO 42 Acre Isle by Becky Clapshaw. This masterpiece earned second place in the People’s Choice category for valid reasons, boasting tributes to her family and recreating her in-game island. The build mirrors the game’s size and offers various zones like homes, a museum, town hall, stores, and an airport. It’s brimming with intricate details and minifigs that entice Animal Crossing enthusiasts to immerse themselves, interact, and enjoy the tranquility this world offers.
This static artwork is indeed awe-inspiring, but Clapshaw took it a step further to make it truly unique. She maintained the essence of the game and created a set that’s not just for viewing, but playing with. The roofs are designed to open, revealing the studs underneath, allowing pieces to move freely. Moreover, she designed it so that you can dig every other square on her island to discover hidden treasures.
Yes, you can really dig for actual treasure on this LEGO Animal Crossing 42 Acre Island.
In a conversation with Beyond the Bricks, Clapshaw stated that she has no plans to expand her island as it currently mirrors an island from Animal Crossing in terms of size. However, she mentioned that she is open to making modifications and adjustments to suit the changing seasons.
Yeah, we know. This was already impressive enough, but we really want to see it in winter, now.
