Tomb Raider turns 30: Croft Manor as Fanbrix set with 4,355 pieces

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Tomb Raider turns 30: Croft Manor as Fanbrix set with 4,355 pieces.

Three decades, one archaeologist: Lara Croft has been in the business for 30 years – and that's now being visibly celebrated. For the anniversary, the Tomb Raider series is releasing its own building set: the Croft Manor, the heroine's estate, as a 4,355-piece model from Fanbrix.

If you play Tomb Raider, you know Croft Manor: the English country house where Lara has been training, researching, and catching her breath between adventures since the first game in 1996. Holding it as a building set in your hands means bringing the heart of the series home piece by piece.

The set arrives at a time when the series is getting noticeably more attention. New games have just been announced – including Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Tomb Raider: Catalyst.

What the Fanbrix Croft Manor set delivers

With 4,355 pieces, the model sits at a scale you won't put together in a single evening. It's aimed at anyone who wants to see Lara's estate not just on screen but on the shelf – detailed enough that the building itself is its own weekend project.

In the series, Croft Manor is far more than just a setting: it stands for the quiet moments between the tomb chambers, the training grounds, the home Lara keeps returning to. A set that recreates exactly this place hits a nerve with fans who have followed Lara for decades.

Which new Tomb Raider games have been announced?

The anniversary isn't the only reason you're constantly stumbling across Tomb Raider right now. According to Nintenderos, two new titles have been announced: Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst.

Legacy of Atlantis is already concrete: the game launches on February 12, 2027 for the Nintendo Switch 2 – and for other platforms as well. This gives the series a new starting point on new hardware 30 years after the first Tomb Raider.

What the anniversary year means for you as a fan

If you're already a fan, 2026/2027 is a good moment to jump back in: anniversary, building model, and new games all in one window. Anyone who has always wanted to bring Croft Manor home now has an official chance.

At the same time: more brand, more products – in the end, you decide what you really want. The set is for tinkerers, the games are for gamers, and Tomb Raider itself remains for everyone who's been along with Lara since 1996.
