The reason the CMF Wolverine looks better is because it’s printed blue on yellow instead of yellow on blue. Doesn’t excuse anything. Dual-molded legs should be there when they’re needed. And light prints on dark plastic need to be done more than once per layer so we can get the right color.

[@PhoenixClank]

Thanks for the direct comparison between Wolverines. As a non-fan of the subject material, I had no idea how shoddy this iteration of him is.

[@camerongodsey9847]

Stacking it next to the $230 USD Jazz Club just highlights the ridiculous pricing. How did something $100 more expensive fail to even be as tall or as thick as a two year old set that’s $100 cheaper. I don’t know where the money went here. This feels simultaneously over designed in some areas and ridiculously cheap in others.

[@SO-ym3zs]

I understand Lego is a business, and their raison d'être is to make money, which they do with incredible effectiveness. But it feels more and more like they're they're trying to sucker the consumer or see what they can get away with instead of presenting a good, fair value to the customer. Declining quality, increasing prices (which were already crazy to any outsider who hasn't drunk the Kool-Aid), and bold little competitors that are making betters sets for lower prices: not a good look for Lego.

[@MisterFreshD]

So incredibly sad how for that amount of money you don't even get a new Professor X. A random clone trooper head on Micheal Scott's body, what an absolute joke.

[@whysitthat3515]

Thank you for the note on LEGO sending paper bags only to sponsored channels. I don’t really like to say stuff like this, but it’s one of the few things they do that genuinely feels scummy.

[@JackpotToys]

Explains why I still have not seen a single paper bag in all this time, and by now I should have. It’s getting harder and harder justifying (or trying to) these prices. This one is tough.

[@SuperSecretBricks]

I've actually got recent sets, bought at physical third party retailers, with paper bags. I'm based in Europe, so maybe it's factory related (maybe the Mexico factory doesn't have paper bags yet?)

I feel like this should have been a series of different sections of the building with two high quality X-Men figures where you could build your own mansion as the series went on. (Also, the end bit was sadly hilarious and a big eye roll to LEGO.)

[@crashfellow82]

Prices going up with costs going down.. Lego’s new motto.

[@JekPorkbricks]

I still feel like it could've been bigger at the exact same price point if they didn't cram so many details, stickered references and 1x1 pieces in the interior. Hardly any of those details are able to be viewed easily anyway when the build is completed. I love Lego buildings with interior details but they went too far here. If they went back to a similar detail level to Modular Buildings of around 2011-2015 they could've made the building a bit bigger which would allow more access to a slightly more sparsely detailed but still good interior.

[@jacobe1942]

yeah if they cant do it as an extra to polish it off then tiling all those floors is unnecessary. But I guess then the outside and inside would be bland.... personally the elevator take up too much space. Where is the boiler room and handi cap stairs? its just our of place in the cerebro room. rather have a few more minis than all those tiles.

[@lopoa126]

Letting the back be open would have been better. Put those pieces towards making it a bit deeper. Really didn't need the Sentinel. Release a smaller set with it instead, which could include Jubilee, Beast, etc. that are missing here.

Thanks for posting this review, Jang. I have a strange habit of fast forwarding all the way to the end to hear your verdict on the value and then start all the way from the beginning to watch the whole video. Always appreciate your honesty and unbiased opinion. On an unrelated note, your recent review of the Fun whole Cyberpunk Apartments makes the value and price of this set look even worse. Hoping to snag this one day on a deeper discount!

[@diatonicdelirium1743]

I'm just glad not to care at all for this franchise, looks like a giant rip-off to me. Recently I bought the D&D figures that show off what is possible in print, colours and moulding. Here... not so much.

[@camilocuba6927]

Great review. I wish that LEGO hadn’t tried to make this fit in a city setting. The whole rear of the house makes no sense as it’s designed as an alley way instead of like a rear to the house like it should be. Despite that, I still ordered it and look forward to building it. I know, I’m part of the problem, lol.

[@thatoscarguy9965]

Well it’s good you should be happy enough with it. Should’ve gotten way more for your money though. I feel like I’m in a similar situation as I really like the ucs jabbas sail barge (have the 2013 model still) but I’m so ticked off with the price they had the audacity to charge for it I can’t bring myself to do it. As much as I would love to own it they don’t deserve that much money from me or anybody for that matter for so much less than what you can get instead.

[@Wico90YT]

I wish LEGO had released this as a smaller center build and then a bunch of rooms (sort of like Hogwarts). It would have given us more figs and more space. Im really liking a lot of the MOCs on Rebrickable to add rooms, sections and exterior areas for that reason. Hoping a CMF includes more Xmen too.

[@Smiley1701]

[@lipranditoys]

Absolutely not worth the price, not much fun as a playset either

[@thebrickhiker]

Thank you for this very detailed review. Shame about the quality of the minifigs. For such a pricey set they should up their game. And include a bigger cast of characters. This set was put on sale on the Disney Store by mistake [*all* lego sets, even Avenger's Tower and the $500 Barge were supposed to be exempt, but someone behind the scenes didn't exclude them]. 25% off, so $247.49 for the set, which to me feels like a better price for what you get here, but [as someone, like you, who is mostly in it for the buildable stuff, but appreciates minifigs], this really needed to have some more figures - I can kinda-sorta understand no Beast since he came in the CMF. But 3 others - Angel, Jubilee, and Nightcrawler seem like obvious choices to me. It seems like they mostly went with the animated series to inspire this build, and those characters were a definite part of that series. As an owner of some Friends sets - like most AFOLs, I'm not a huge fan of the mini dolls due to the lack of wrist articulation, individual leg articulation and the slightly unusual head shape - but man, whenever I see them - they are printed *so* well. It's like it's not even from the same company. Then I see the masked figures in this set and hang my head in shame at what TLG is doing for their premium product. There's another brick company you've reviewed a few sets from which has some quite different looking figures - not a fan of their legs and odd way their arms go - but it does seem like they know how to print them pretty well. I'd be curious if you ever got a set where a Lego minifig printing has not been done well, yet Company X is able to make a comparably sized figure look just fine with opacity - even if the fig looks weird, I'd love to see you call out the leading company in said review. :) It's too bad the GWP with this set couldn't be added on somehow [w/o destroying a room]. I'm glad they made an effort, but Cerebro not being the X door and instead in the lab, just looks odd to me. I am glad they included it, rather than just reward the first 100 people who stay up till midnight to buy the set and get the GWP, but honestly I do find it awkward that Cerebro is in the lab. Again, thanks for this review! You may not be a Marvel SuperFan or X-Men SuperFan, but you are a Lego SuperFan and as usual I highly appreciate these detailed, long-form reviews.

What's disappointing about Lego's new 'eco-friendly' paper bags is that because of the plastic lining on them it makes it about as difficult to recycle as Lego's current plastic bags made from polypropylene (which, by the way, can still be recycled, although not as efficiently as other types of plastic). The transition to paper bags seems to just be a PR stunt and nothing more.

[@SockieTheSockPuppet]

Exactly, just like the ink with instructions.

[@NikkiKuehnemund]

Lego keeps on dropping the ball.. Other "non lego companies" are actually giving us more for less money. Say what you want on other companies' figures, but they don't look that much different from Lego dolls.. Pluss, Lego wants to save the world from plastic by using paper bags.. Packing plastic in paper to save plastic.. I'm glad I have stopped buying Lego.. I spend my money on other products/hobbies now. Thanks for a great review, Jang😊

thank you for this review Jang! I strongly stand with all the other viewers of this channel that say you are the most fair and reasonable reviewer of lego in the current youtube space, and especially for sets like this which are "Hyped up" to be incredible sets when the reality is not always exactly what other reviewers are showcasing. The paper bag thing is especially interesting and i appreciate you calling it out, as well as the printing issues and inconsistencies of quality that plagues the lego company recently. But thats a lot of negativity so ending with a happy note, Once I have the funds to purchase Coles new mech I will be doing so as soon as possible, solely because of how incredibly you showcased the set a couple months ago :D (ill make sure to use the affiliate link too) thank you again Jang!

[@rhymingbecktionary]

The comparison to other buildings and the Daily Bugle really makes the price discrepancy so much more shocking. Between that the quantity and quality of the minifigs I'm holding out for a deep discount. Bare minimum for the minifigs, in addition to what you already said, should have had the following: Wolverine: Should be CMF quality, no excuses Cyclops: He needs dual molded yellow boots and a yellow hip piece. Both would go a long way. Rogue: Would have liked to see dual molded legs to make it apparent her leggings are a different color from her boots Magneto: Needs dual molded purple boots and a purple hip piece. Jean: Should have blue printing on the wrists to denote the bracers/wrist bands for this design and skin tone hands Gambit: Dual molded grey or blue boots. Or at least blue printed boots with a cloth piece that goes between the torso and legs to denote he's wearing a trench coat, or at least the cloth collar from the CMF Noir Detective. I was so excited when I heard LEGO Was going to be making X-Men sets but both sets so far seem to at least be massively overpriced and somewhat disappointing.

[@legomattie3295]

More expensive sets....in times like these. I stopped with modulars, ideas, cars, buildings, etc because there is too much of it. I dont even have enough space for all the Star Wars stuff I still collect (and sure, some other Lego stuff as well, since now and then something really good designs are released). Btw, those paper bags arent that good for the environment at all. I have said it before, but I doubt people care: those paper bags have a plastic coating on the inside and therefor cant be recycled. They are just as bad for the environment as those full plastic bags.

[@SO-ym3zs]

The bags feel like greenwashing to me. Real strides in environmental friendliness would be great, but at the end of the day, Lego is a company that manufacturers and ships vast amounts of plastic parts all over the world with paper and plastic packaging. There's nothing environmentally friendly at the core of what they do, and paper bags with plastic inside will likely make no difference :(

[@BrentStarling]

I’ve gotten some cheap knock-off Lego minifigs before, and the quality of the body prints is very similar to these. This is rough. It’s hard not to be cynical when every other set costs over $100 now.

They're going to price a lot of people out. At this point, I spend more time and money on the alternative brands. I get a lot more for my dollar and generally find what they're doing to be more interesting and fun.

[@LordAntWarrior]

Spot on with this review Jang. I personally bought this for the figures but even they could be so much better. Also worth pointing out that the Storm minifigure has no leg printing whereas the CMF version does. The lack of Jubilee is the biggest issue for me since she's the only title card main character from the Animated Series that we don't have in Lego form now. Glaring omission on thier part!

Those print issues bug me, especially since the LAN member were specifically calling out how printing had gotten better. Is the print as bad as usual (in which case is it an issue that's dependent on the factory? The assumption being LAN members might have gotten a copy from a factory that improved printing), or is it slightly better but still not there yet? This is all so baffling to me

Great review, as always. I already bought it as it was asked by my kids for Christmas. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. It's overpriced and leaves a lot to be desired in terms of minifigs. The comparison ve the daily bugle is incredible. Thank you Jang.

[@NuclearXpotato1100]

I believe part of the reason Minidolls have better printing is due to their shaping allowing more clearance (printing increases the size and friction of a piece, this was especially a problem in the 2000s) and allowing the paint masks to fit around the curvature. This is the same reason why minifigures don't have printing on the sides of their torsos and why the leg printing isn't always aligned (the front and sides of the legs are two separate paint masks). The clearance is possibly the reason why Minifigure heads are getting better colour matching than the torsos (which are very close in size to bricks, whereas heads are a unique scale). I'm not sure what the exact solution would be that wouldn't result in figures having more easily damaged prints or Lego having dozens of midtone ink colours that are only used for printing (which would result in even more colour inconsistency).

[@wernercoetzee2316]

Oh Jang, the paper bag sarcasm is just pure gold!

[@brandongaines1731]

As some fan-written universe's Deadpool might say, "The snark is strong with this one!" I would not have expected to LoL so much at your "paper bags" joke, but your delivery was perfect! In all fairness, I'm already thinking of ways to expand this set into something larger - which will rely on getting at least one additional stickered element from the set from the secondhand market. I agree, though, the inclusion of Beast and Jubilee, at least, would've been very welcome - good thing that a Beast minifig, at least, is already available. Speaking of hairpieces that we want LEGO to produce someday, I'm surprised that they released an entire UCS Cloud City playset a few years back and didn't do a new mold for Leia's hair as it appears in the Cloud City scenes. Such an element would be entirely possible using dark brown "rubber" - like certain other hairpieces that they've released over the years, starting with Exo-Force - or even with 3D printing, which they've started experimenting with to make a small selection of new elements that are not easily molded. We'll have to see what they decide to do for the 50th Anniversary of LEGO Star Wars, as - I think - that's around the time that we'll be due to see another iteration of Cloud City. I think that it's a decent bet that, if LEGO doesn't do one at that time, then one of the various aftermarket minifigure part/accessory manufacturers specializing in custom Star Wars elements will probably give it a go.

[@jasonmadwell9426]

I just bought 4 sets from the terribly named Fun Whole company totaling 6169 pieces for $345 combined. The X Mansion set after taxes would cost me $357. I would love to keep buying LEGO but in most cases the value is not there. When the quality starts to dip as well, it makes the decision pretty easy.

[@rslotb]

My biggest problem with this set is that the building just looks wrong. The embellishments should be either gray or white, not both. Thanks for the picture from the cartoon Jang, this showed me that it actually looks different.

[@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist]

This should have had a piece count similar to Rivendell. For a mansion, it's smaller in overall size than most modular buildings

[@AHYL88]

Seriously, people are insane to want to be even more ripped off than we already are from Lego sets these days! Anyway, this set, I already knew the value was really poor but further highlighting that fact is Ninjago City Gardens which is drastically bigger (similar in volume to the Daily Bugle but might be bigger) is only £10 or $20 more, just like the Daily Bugle. And wow the figure quality is very meh; agreed it's not the worst, we got two good ones, but it's not enough and not acceptable in such a very costly set.

[@joevictor53]

I wish they'd done this as a standalone building similar to the Home Alone house or Ghostbusters firehouse. The price/size is a joke. Especially when you look at the Daily Bugle and modular museum. Had this not been modular, they could've made it a bit bigger without having to worry about it fitting with the road in front of it. I'm glad to hear you calling out Lego for their print quality compared to other cheaper brands. It sucks that more reviewers won't do the same. I feel like they'll continue to do it because people will continue to buy it and keep their complaints to themselves

[@nauscakes1868]

Goddamn do I love the authenticity of Jang's reviews. Both good and bad. I agree that the face Xavier has is acceptable. And I also agree that a lot of those prints are garbage. It blows my mind that the expensive sets don't come with collectible minifugre quality prints and details. That Wolverine is an absolute joke. I had heard about that drama, but I've never seen the two side by side until now.

I normally never notice the weak prints until they’re point out…but wow the figures at 26:15 are especially rough.

[@Vontyak]

The Wolverine and Rogue figs look lackluster in terms of quality for sure. The value offering for the X-Mansion is definitely questionable next to the Daily Bugle, both as a display set / pseudo-playset. I would've swapped the top half of the Danger Room for something different (maybe a second dorm/bedroom) and extended the lower half into where that TV screen is & get rid of the stair build in the DR. That section looks great as is, but is just too small for display or play purposes IMO. I'm also betting Lego will do a much larger sentinel at some point positioned as a "premium" companion set for the rest of the X-Men line. Great ideas hampered by inconsistent execution & eye watering pricing choices. Top notch review as always

I think this set could’ve done with an underground section, obviously that makes it not fit with the Modular’s but then the danger room could be the full size of the baseplate, maybe with some room sectioned off for a cerebro dedicated room I also really have to agree that Lego is running out of excuses

[@BonnieFluff]

I'm not a big X-Men guy. I have some nostalgia for the old animated show since I watched DVDs of it as a kid, I've always been more of a Batman guy (which is why I was curious about this as a Wayne Manor stand in). I really do like the cutout style in this as opposed to the way the Bugle done it, the first floor of the Bugle was a nightmare for my thick wrists. I think the grey could have been fixed by, as you said having it be painted, just a small pop of the ginger colour. I'm in love with the mini lab they have, the CTI Machine especially peaks my interest. My biggest complaint as someone who never bought the set, I'd rather have had a few more villains. Maybe instead of Bishop or Ice-Man a Jubilee and Sabretooth, or Mystique. Or know as you said. Just adding figures for the insane price point! Figures or depth!!

[@inkomi2142]

I' so glad Jang is so honest about criticising lego, really helps to make this feel like a fair review! I like the mansion a lot, but for 330€ it should have been bigger, even brickset showed how small it feels scalewise when placed next to a building like the sanctum sanctorum. I would love it if they grabbed the sentinel, some of the most desirable minifigures from here and one or two new ones and made a set out of that.

[@Sus_amogo_suS]

The background at the start of the video is pretty cool

[@MarkCalkins1]

It’s sad that this isn’t larger for the same price. It would been nice to have this on a 48x48 to allow more depth, and increase the height by adding another floor OR making the existing floors taller. Also, cutting corners on minifigure selection and quality makes this all the more a disappointment.

People tend to keep the boxes, if they had compartments we wouldn't throw that away like the bags.

[@Noobnormality]

I get that LEGO also needs the license to produce these sort of stuff, but even after taking licensing into account, this still feels overpriced. There're plenty of other modular building sets out there that you can get with lower the price than this but get A TON more stuff into, including interior space. Taking value aside, I think this works okay as a playset, it has more space than traditional LEGO playsets which is nice and is actually closed, which i appreciate! If only they made it so that you can at least fold it out for easier access, but yeah, I get your mixed feelings with this set. As an X-Men fan tho, I think this looks like a pretty decent replica of the X-Mansion, if not a little small for minifig scale. The inclusion of a full interior space *at all* kind of justifies its quirks, although it maybe a bit too awkward for its value.

Here for the long reviews Jang, love them!

00:56 Yep. This is why I prefer stand alone builds, especially those that aren’t minifigure centred. I’ve made busts using helmet sets, upscaled bodies for helmet sets and fully proportional bodies for helmet sets as well as a few UCS style vehicles! Much more satisfying as an adult fan than minifigures, but that’s just me! 🤷🤣 32:30 Yep. Definitely should have had more minifigures at the very least- beast, night crawler, maybe a sabretooth and a mystique! A jubilee given it’s kinda based around the 97 show version! 🤷 Hell even an Archangel would’ve been easy enough to do given the pieces LEGO currently has in production! 🤷

Jang thank you for always providing honest and detailed reviews, there has not been a single time l have bought a set without taking into account your opinion first. l live in Europe and l have bought over 30 lego sets the last 2 years, mostly Star Wars. I have only encountered paper bags in exactly 3 sets, Obi Wan's Starfighter, the Plum Blossom and the rebuild the galaxy Tie - X-Wing mashup. What l found strange was that in the paper bag for the Tie fighter, in the 4th bag, the small bag containing the pins and small tiles was plastic despite all the other (including the small ones) being paper 🤔 In my honest opinion, as you also have repeatedly noted, it is not a region issue. Encountering paper bugs in 1 out of 30 sets is a very low bar for what we expect from Lego. Taking into account the amount of sets you are reviewing per year, it really is problematic for lego to advertise the paper bugs and then providing only certain review channels with sets that include paper only bags. l can undestand your frustration as an independent buyer and simultaneously experienced reviewer. As far as that part of your review is concerned though, I have to point out that this might be the first time l see you become that upset on a review and it genuinely made me sad since l always remember you keeping your composure. l don't think that you have anything to prove, people who follow your channel even for a month are able to tell that your are genuine. The lego company is the one that should deliver their promises about transitioning away from plastic bags and prove that they do care about the environment.

I hope someone at Lego watches this, lots of great critiques, very frustrating though, Lego, do better

I was on the fence during the school review. It's something that could be bought two of to increase size and fill it out. But seeing the faded minifigs that would be populating the scene while on display, and missing several core characters, and the price comparison between this and the Daily Bugle, I...just can't.

Sounds and looks like a great set to get on discount with insider points (which is what I plan on doing)
