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
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’m not one to write reviews but this is an exception for both good and bad reasons. Let’s start off with the good: the mansion itself is absolutely beautiful to look at. It has a lot of minute details that only fans would notice. The sentinel is also really cool. The figure selection isn’t bad either just couldn’t use a little more printing on the arms and legs for some. Now with the bad: the interior is small. It’s hard to fit characters in there much more actually try and pose them. That’s not really what I look for in these sets but I can be disappointing for those who do. Another thing is that while building one of the pieces necessary was almost snapped in half right out of the bag. This is the first time I’ve had a QC issue with Lego but it’s still disappointing. It hasn’t hindered the build process but could have if it was completely snapped. You can see the stress line on the 2x10 in the photos I uploaded. I’m willing to send to a Lego employee if they would want the proof. Other than that the process was fun and is a good display piece
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

I'm surprised this set isn't larger when there are others with 25% more pieces at a similar price point. If Charles Xavier can't fit into the house, that's...ironically funny but a clear problem. It feels like this set prioritizes form over function seeing that there's an expectation to position figures both inside and outside of the house—this is not unique to this set, either. Often, builders have multiple sets and can't realistically display the default "action pose" you see in the promo images. It would be nice if a combined arrangement was a minimum requirement LEGO enforced to keep all the pieces together for display.
The second package started to lose pieces. It's really a very careless LEGO set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! We're sorry to hear that you have pieces missing in your set. It must have been frustrating to pause your build because of it. Please check the rest of the pieces in your set and list out those that are missing. Reach out to us at LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV so our brick-helpers can assist with your replacements.
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.
