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

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.

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.

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.

Great idea, horrible execution for some of the other marvel Lego sets much more details involved, especially with the daily bugle avengers Tower and sanctum sanctum the X mansion is underwhelming the rooms are very tiny and small no ability to really look inside of them or display the highlights could have been bigger and cost more but would have paid it for better quality

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!
