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
I really like this set. Great minifigs and the Sentinel is awesome. Tons of easter eggs in the build. I do wish that it was a bit bigger. It doesn't feel like a real mansion next to other modular buildings due to its size. It also needed a Jubilee minifig.
My sons and I had a wonderful time building this set! Tons of details and new techniques to build. We can’t wait for the next X-Men sets in the future!
I got this set because I have always been a huge fan of the X-Men. Let me tell you it did not disappoint me. While the build could be slightly complex at times, it kept my attention and I had a very fun experience. The minifigures are a lot of fun and they show off the characters various powers well. I highly recommend this set for Marvel fans and for fans who like challenging builds.
