Chrono Trigger fans are manifesting a LEGO set based on the classic JRPG.

One fan has submitted a LEGO Chrono Trigger set to theLEGO Ideas website, which is essentially a platform for people to pitch potential products. But before LEGO properly considers any pitches, the projects need to reach 10,000 “supporters” on the website - a goal that has fans rallying behind the beloved Squaresoft game.

The set - which you can see below - stunningly recreates the game’s opening area, complete with the time machine that kick-starts our epic romp, as well as the various mini-games available around the carnival. “I chose to recreate the Millennial Fair since it contains many aspects of Chrono Trigger in a single location,” the set’s creator Josh [SDS] explained on the project’s page. “The fair takes place in the time period 1000AD yet there are references to prehistoric, medieval and futuristic eras.” I’d expect nothing less from a LEGO set based on Chrono Trigger’s timey wimey shenanigans.

What’s more delightful is Chrono Trigger’s colorful cast reconstructed in cute, blocky fashion. Main man Chrono’s spiky hair just makes sense in LEGO. I can practically feel the excruciating pain that comes from accidentally stepping on Chrono’s hairpiece, and isn’t that what LEGO is all about? Robo is lovingly “brick-built” since they’re obviously a robot and might need occasional repairs. I’m also in love with Frog’s odd facial proportions and cape - just delightful.

See where Chrono Trigger lands on ourbest JRPGs ever list.
