[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good build Good amount of mini figures One down side, building has battle damage. Would have preferred it with out. I like to add that kind of thing myself
I love the X-Men and want more sets. I am a fan of the module system in the set and the minifigures are great. However, I was tempted to not buy this because the price is off to me. The building is not that big and does not fit to well next to the other Marvel modulars like it was intended, even though source material says its upstate New York, this set was designed with the pin connection system. I understand this is a licensed theme, but Marvel really wants their money and unfortunately Lego X-Mansion is byproduct of that.
This set is a very fun build. The modular construction lets you easily access all of the rooms easily and stage all of the minifigs. There is building damage built into the design that I would have preferred to build out of the design. One wall of the Danger Room is blown out and some of the debris is built into the lawn. Unlike the Avengers Tower or Daily Bugle, it seems this construction is a fixed appearance without the included parts to create a restored appearance.
The Sentinal Figure is fine. I would have preferred a little bit more effort into the appearance but the possibility is strong.
The Minifig collection is solid. I’m surprised at the absence of fan favorites like Beast or Sabertooth.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This X-mansion is an X-JOKE!

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
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I loved this set from the beginning, every detail and easter eggs. I agree with some hobbyists about the size but honestly it has the most important elements that a X mansion could have and it definitely refers to the comics version of the X-Men, not the movies one but the OG.
Oh, my stars and garters! This school for gifted children is tiny, like the student’s gift better be shrinking, because Lego Xavier must not have the budget for adequate room and board. Even the training facilities are grossly inadequate. The danger room is more like a danger closet. Lego Xavier’s budget cuts seem to have trickled down to the uniforms as well. Poor Wolverine looks like a cheap knock-off of the version in the last Marvel CMF series. And where are everyone’s pants? For the price of this thing one would expect some dual-molded legs, maybe some leg printing, but I guess I expected too much from a premium set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! Sorry that everything wasn’t awesome with the X-Men: X-Mansion. We work hard to make sets that everyone can enjoy and your feedback helps us make them even better. We’ll share your comments with our design teams to help with future sets.
I was super excited when I saw this set get announced, and I bought it as soon as I could. I am a huge fan of X-men, having watched the movies and cartoons, even owning some of the comics. I love the amount of detail in the set, and building the set was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had building Legos. Reading some of the other reviews, I know some complained about putting the stickers on, but I think that just makes the set more enjoyable it even comes with extra stickers, which I find nice. I do really like this set, but I do wish I came with Beast rather than Iceman, as he isn't in the cartoons or movies as often.
