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.
I enjoyed the build as it brought back so many memories of the cartoon. The details were amazing but I feel lost when completed inside the mansion. I love the characters & for the exclusive Cerebro chamber I expanded the model. Great set!
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.
This set has a great minifigure selection. The build is fun but my biggest pet peeve is the size. Once you finish it you realize there’s not much room, but it is what it is! The play features are amazing with lots of possibilities.
This set was built with X-men fans in mind!
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
Unless you're a die-hard, stone cold marvel geek pass on this set. Half the time building items you will never see, unless you fit the description above.
Way too small to be considered a mansion needs to be at least twice this size rooms are little and other than gambit and bishop the mini figs are very lacking lesser quality than the mystery figs featuring X-men previously released
