[@brycebitetti1402]

I don't think this set really used its floorspace very effectively. The lawn and the sidewalk outside take up so much of the baseplate that should've been used to extend out the mansion itself for larger interiors. Even just 2-3 extra studs work of space to work with could've made a huge difference.

[@Libertaro-i2u]

Though the house itself is a similar size to the Lego Home Alone house, at least in terms of the length of the building.

[@GamtMonk]

I cant wait to see some people combine a few into a larger moc while still keeping the spirit of this set

[@ThePandaBrain]

When sets dedicate a lot of space to exterior details like lawns or sidewalks, it can definitely feel like a missed opportunity, especially when the interior ends up feeling cramped. A set like a mansion should really maximize its floorspace to make the interiors feel spacious and functional, and a few extra studs could go a long way. Those little adjustments, like adding a couple of studs to the interior rooms, could’ve provided more room for detail or play features. It’s especially noticeable in sets where you expect grandeur or lots of space inside. It might look nice from the outside, but the inside is what you interact with most, so it should feel just as well thought out.

[@MutantProductions]

It's a good looking set but I certainly don't like the back of it. I think making an alleyway totally ruins the feel of Charles' mansion.

[@sebces2576]

Yeah if they had done some more greenery out back that would've worked better, I get that the rest of the marvel series uses alleyways too but plenty of other modulars have had gardens out back.

[@aljazslemc9569]

I think it's just so it fits with the other sets from the lineup. I agree, having the green would've been better

In the future when making these compromises, Lego should consider releasing official instructions where you could combine 2 of the set to address space issues that come up here and also w the sanctum.

Why they put in it wolverine(we got in in minifigures jet and mech) but there is no nightcrawler quicksilver cable or deadpool

[@memyselftheone]

I won't be getting this. I'm not a Lego Marvel collector or builder anyway, so I only get stuff that I think I could use by altering it. But... I don't know, to me it's missing something. It looks off and I think that's because they've went with a version of the mansion based on the cartoon. Because of that aesthetic, to me it feels 'flat and less detailed' when compared to other modulars (even previous Marvel ones). So it just doesn't feel like it has that usual higher modular standard. I don't care at all about these particular minifigures, so those aren't a draw for me either.

[@MOCTurtle4911]

[@capmodesty]

The inclusion of Bobby Iceman is a strange one for me, all the core X-Men97 cast are here, apart from Jubilee

I do agree that the Sanctum Sanctorum is more pleasing to my eye but it also had a more iconic/unique look than the X-Men mansion so it is understandable.

[@MrEverything1987]

its weird to hear praise for sanctum sanctorum, it suffered from being micro scale, with the second floor being the second and 3rd floor combined and the balconies being 2 studs wide. Lego cheaped out and shouldve just made a 4 floor building and a baseplate and a half. The Sanctum Sanctorum Moc's do a substantially better job than the official set, it was made worse considering they made a $500 hulk buster but couldn't make a $300-350 Sanctum Santorum that was properly scaled is beyond me and was a show that lego analytics team is out of touch with customer demand. It is also interesting to see lego going out of their way to make the botanical garden set not a modular and them also going out of their way to make X-Mansion a modular building, I really thing they couldve just made a stand alone building, I would be happy to see more detailed stand alone buildings like the botantical garden, old fishing store, haunted house etc. I think overall I think this is a great set and like every marvel modular except for Sanctum Santorum this will be a day one purchase.

[@kevinodw_]

You are far too forgiving of those minifigures! Gambit’s leg printing is terrible! I mean the leg printing is specifically designed for dual molded legs and he has brown feet? He has dual molded legs in the Disney Special coming up, but not in the Lego set! Wolverine’s legs, just like in the Blackbird, look terrible with the yellow printed on blue. Scott should have yellow boots, and the leg printing all around is truly weak. But again, I love X-Men and am still excited to buy many of these in my quest to build the ultimate Xavier’s Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Love the videos mate

From the outside it looks more like a city hall modular for a LEGO city, especially with the alley on the back. The X-Mansion was built on a large estate in New York so a large deck would've been more appropriate. The minifigures are the biggest disappointment here though. The selection with the Daily Bugle was great and were quality but this is seriously lacking for a $300+ set.

Straight off the bat, I have to disagree about this being “an absolute treat” for Lego Marvel fans. For X-Men fans this feels like “a hard slap in the face, followed by a swift kick to the nuts”. I’ve wanted a Lego X-Mansion since 1992, and after the first three Marvel modules this is a huge disappointment. Compared to 25 characters in the Bugle and 31 in the Avengers Tower, getting only 10 characters with lacklustre printing is… a joke? This is far too small and feels like an afterthought. “Quick there’s a new X-Men show, rush out a mansion, and here’s your budget. Make it work.” I always try to look on the bright side, but this one really feels purposely unimportant to Lego compared to Avengers sets. Hopefully in 10 years when the X-Men movies make loads of money, Lego’s interest will pique. It is nice to get some of the cute details in there, but honestly it’s just too small! They should have built it modularly so you can fit sets together like the new Harry Potter Castle. That way we could have much more focus on each room. Plus, having the Danger Room above ground negates the possibility of getting a sub basement later on. I’m not impressed. I’ll only buy 3! …on release day. I’m definitely looking forward to the UCS Version in years to come. Keep up the great work dude!

[@Tzar_bomba]

It makes sense that there is only 10 figures in the set. It seems like marvel Modular’s are going back and fourth with it. The bugle had 25, then the sanctum had (I think) 8, the tower had 31, and now the mansion has 10. I bet the next one will also have a high figure count but it seems like they’re fluctuating the amount of figures for these Modular’s but I’m not sure the reason

When you compare this to the daily bugle, you realise how bad the mini-figure quality and quantity is… why is a perfect wolverine in a £3.50 blind bag, but a cheap version is tied to a near £300 set? Why is gambit shown as having dual molded legs in a video game, but the x mansion has a cheaper print version? It’s just annoying…

[@jacobulbikas1016]

Because Lego has standards on what must be added to their sets and they decided how it must be done. Why don't they add the extra prints? It costs money, they need to mass produce them, and they won't spend it where they feel it's not needed.

[@captain-brickhead8317]

@@jacobulbikas1016 that's a cop out; a premium price point should have premium contents - they can go cheaper on cheaper sets; dual molded legs are present in so many other themes, it's not like it's a new element. To compromise they could have added in other x-men but they cut back there too....

[@arghjayem]

Gorgeous? Wouldn’t go that far. It looks good and close to the source material, but it wouldn’t say gorgeous.

Wouldn’t be too hard as they look quite close as it turns out 🤷 01:40 hey, LEGO is just planning ahead….when it comes to Marvel James Mcavoy is obviously gonna be portraying all of those characters in the future!

This set is quite a big disappointment for me : very small rooms, low ceilings, kind of "Friends/City" look. If you compare it to the Museum Modular : 3000 pieces instead of 4000, much smaller in height ad depth, very poor finish with low details. This is not as well executed as the Sanctum Sanctorum, wich looks nice in a modular City. This one will look weird near Modulars, I bet it ! I am not keen on the 97 series, I prefer the movies, so the minifig selction looks a bit weird to me, though aficionados will love it for sure. Let's not talk about the price, which is not justified even with the licence. This set will go on sale as soon as it is not exclusive anymore. Even at less than 200€ I will not buy it.
