Long Awaited Set That Falls A Little Short

I’ve been waiting for the X-Mansion set since there were designs of it back in 2014 on Lego Ideas and was excited when it was part of Lego Super Heroes in 2013. Overall, I really enjoyed this set and the hidden Easter eggs throughout. You can tell the designers put a lot of thought into how the build could satisfy the fans and still make it fun for play. There are two hangups that really make it hard to give it a full 5 stars. 1. The amount of minifigs is good for the set, but they are similar (if not exactly the same) as minifigs released in other sets earlier this year. With many iconic X-Men characters, even if you pull the ones from X-Men ‘97 that could’ve filled the roster. 2. The scale of the mansion, for the price I was thinking it would be closer to the scale of the Home Alone House. I was a little bummed with the scale since it’s been a long awaited set for me, but I’m glad it has finally been created. I can only hope this spawns more iconic X-Men themed sets! Overall, it’s a great set for an X-Men fan at any age!
As a lifelong "X-Fan", I had to have this set! The build was incredibly fun & detailed, and I loved all the little hidden easter eggs & references that were tucked in to the different rooms of the mansion. The X-Mansion also makes a truly dynamic display piece, and you can create some seriously epic battles with all the minifigs & the giant Sentinel. I was genuinely impressed with the build quality, the level of detail in the mansion, the minifigs, and all the different ways you can attach & display the figures
Although I liked everything about this build I would have liked to have seen it bigger. I think going to the five hundred dollar price point to do this would have been good. Avenger Tower did not disappoint at all and I feel this could have been just as good. Still, I really do like this set and hope for more in the X universe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this set, as a huge fan of X-men and the new X-men 97 show, this set is the best way to bring back that nastolgia. It's a great size for those that don't have tons of space, while still capturing the X-men feel. It makes me want to collect all the X-men minifigs now. It's a great start to the evolving X-men franchise with LEGO.
It was great building a set that brought back so many memories from watching the animated show in the 90's. The extra tidbits and easter eggs from the comics and movies were also great.
As a big fan of Lego modular buildings and X-Men, I was extremely excited for this set when it was announced, so it was a day one purchase. Like many, I was disappointed by the size when the images were released, however I hoped the build experience would exceed those expectations.
Unfortunately the build experience on this one is dull, repetitive, and has many rather flimsy sections compared to the typical modular building experience. Lots of small pieces that feel unnecessarily added and eat up some of the already minimal (for the cost) piece count. To say the building is tiny is an understatement. It would have taken a minimal increase in piece count to increase the height or depth to something that felt like a set of this cost and piece count, and fit next to other modular sets as intended.
It is packed full of detail. That is, quite literally packed, leaving almost no room for anything else. It feels like a big shell for easter eggs, which usually come in the form of a sticker placed somewhere. The references felt more like cheap call outs than actual references.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I wish it was a bit bigger, compared to the bugle and avengers tower, it looks a bit out of place in scale, especially for that price
