Got this as a Christmas gift for my son I can’t wait till we get to build this thing it looks like a lot of fun and I am excited to get all the figures included. We lucked out and got the Cerebro GWP that will also be given at Christmas. Really excited for these as I have loved X-men since I was a young child and I got a random X-men comic as my first ever comic book.
This set has a great minifigure selection. The build is fun but my biggest pet peeve is the size. Once you finish it you realize there’s not much room, but it is what it is! The play features are amazing with lots of possibilities.
Although I liked everything about this build I would have liked to have seen it bigger. I think going to the five hundred dollar price point to do this would have been good. Avenger Tower did not disappoint at all and I feel this could have been just as good. Still, I really do like this set and hope for more in the X universe.
Finished building the X-man X-Mansion. Kind of disappointed in the scale of the set, it’s smaller than expected especially for being a Mansion and the cost. Its more expensive than the Museum and has about 1000 pieces less. I have been building Lego for over 40 years and this is one of the first sets that I am really disappointed in. For a comparison, I put the X-Mansion next to the museum, Sanctum Sanctorum & in my Lego city
I’ve been waiting for the X-Mansion set since there were designs of it back in 2014 on Lego Ideas and was excited when it was part of Lego Super Heroes in 2013. Overall, I really enjoyed this set and the hidden Easter eggs throughout. You can tell the designers put a lot of thought into how the build could satisfy the fans and still make it fun for play. There are two hangups that really make it hard to give it a full 5 stars. 1. The amount of minifigs is good for the set, but they are similar (if not exactly the same) as minifigs released in other sets earlier this year. With many iconic X-Men characters, even if you pull the ones from X-Men ‘97 that could’ve filled the roster. 2. The scale of the mansion, for the price I was thinking it would be closer to the scale of the Home Alone House. I was a little bummed with the scale since it’s been a long awaited set for me, but I’m glad it has finally been created. I can only hope this spawns more iconic X-Men themed sets! Overall, it’s a great set for an X-Men fan at any age!
As a lifelong "X-Fan", I had to have this set! The build was incredibly fun & detailed, and I loved all the little hidden easter eggs & references that were tucked in to the different rooms of the mansion. The X-Mansion also makes a truly dynamic display piece, and you can create some seriously epic battles with all the minifigs & the giant Sentinel. I was genuinely impressed with the build quality, the level of detail in the mansion, the minifigs, and all the different ways you can attach & display the figures
