This X-mansion is an X-JOKE!
on November 9, 2024
Posted by: X-Lego man
I was beyond excited when this set was announced as x-men were a huge part of my childhood. Well my excitement diminished quickly when the set arrived and upon picking it up I couldn’t help but notice how light it was. Upon building the set I noticed that the rooms within the mansion are so small that 1 minifigure barely fits in each room and considering it only has 5 rooms total, several of the x-men are gonna be homeless if this is where they are living. This is not the X-mansion, where are the underground levels? Where are all of the dorm rooms? What is there is a bunch of rooms jammed into 1 room, cerebro is a flip out screen that blocks a doorway, the sentinel is a weak attempt and for some reason the basketball hoop is next to the dumpsters, I very much remember the mansion having basketball courts and professors X’s hover chair doesn’t even fit inside. A few years ago someone submitted an xmansion to Lego ideas and it was phenomenal the amount of detail this person put into it, this set is a sad attempt and not to mention they clearly stole the idea . Save your money

I usually only get Marvel for daughter. But since daily Bugle came out started getting some lol. I only had the small Sanctum and once largest came out wasn’t upgrading. Seeing the mansion next to my small sanctum makes me happy lol. This was a fun build stickers and all. Haven’t decided how I’m going to set this up yet but here it is.

What About Cerebro?

Yeah, it was advertised that we'd get cerebro with the set and somehow the company that makes the set ran out? I'll look elsewhere if this how you want to conduct business.

The overall build experience for this set is good. When building the left wing "book 2", my only critique is that the instructions only gave us the option to build the wall as damaged, but wished it also showed us how to build the wall as complete instead of referencing book three for the right wing.
Another issue I had with this set is that while assembling the pieces in 3, I had two missing grill pieces for the lawn I had to scavenge from Logan's bike. thank goodness we can order missing / broken parts.
Except for these two minor issues, my last gripe I have is like with the Daily Bugle, Avenger's tower and the Sanctum, we are given 1 X 1 stud bricks for the clear pieces the figures stand on to jump, fly etc. my only gripe is that regular stud bricks were added for those who wanted a realistic look instead of having a battle scene. While some of the bikes can be covered up, others can't, sticking out.
Except for these three issues, the set, having 24 bags "advent calendar" for Christmas" is a gift / set any X-men, Marvel and lego builder would enjoy and add to their lego city / modular city.

There were some interesting building techniques throughout the set but overall it was brought down by the fact that each room feels too small and the use of space outside is not great. furthermore, the constant use of stickers takes away from a set that already has issues and makes it feel like you have to stop every few minutes during the build to carefully apply the stickers. The mini figures were somewhat interesting in that Gambit, Iceman, and Bishop are all original and unique to this set but the remaining Minifigures are not unique and are the exact same or downgrades from other previous cheaper sets or CMF. Overall while the build has interesting sections, the mansion itself is pretty plain and uses some very common pieces in normal colors. The use of common and already readily available pieces makes you question the price and what it is exactly you are paying this high price for.
The price is extremely high for a set that is surprisingly small, it only has 3 truly unique minifigures out of 10, and the overall build of the mansion is ok, slowed by constant stickers, and with various small often unusable rooms.
I was excited about the set when I bought it but the above mentioned problems combined with a few missing pieces brought the overall grade down for me and made me question the value for the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My Thoughts

I believe that the X-Mansion is actually a really great set. My only problem is that a couple more minifigures could have probably been included, but besides that, it’s great.
