The most exciting X-Men Lego set is now exclusively available at the Lego Store. X-Men: The X-Mansion is a 3,093-piece kit that faithfully recreates the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. This expansive, $330 set features a modular design and includes 10 minifigures. With Deadpool and Wolverine dominating the box office (and Blu-ray charts) this year, and the resurgence of the X-Men '97 animated series being a major hit on Disney+, this Lego set is set to be a hot item this holiday season. If you're considering purchasing it as a gift, you might want to act quickly. All orders placed before November 11 will receive a complimentary gift: a 285-piece Lego kit titled Books Are My Passion. While not related to X-Men, it's a charming set for book enthusiasts. Additionally, if you don't plan to keep it, you could save some money by gifting it to someone on your holiday list.
Based on the X-Mansion featured in X-Men '97, the set boasts a fully modular design that allows for easy disassembly, much like a rampaging Juggernaut. This modularity also makes it convenient for multiple X-Men fans to collaborate on building the set. The set includes 10 minifigures, and each room in the mansion is packed with intricate details, including at least one meme-worthy Easter egg. You'll be able to construct Wolverine's room, classrooms, a library, the Cerebro control chamber, the Danger Room, and a lobby. Another highlight of this set is the inclusion of parts to build a Sentinel, one of the notorious mutant-hunting robots that the X-Men frequently face. This android stands tall over the X-Men and features an impressive range of motion.
The X-Mansion is intended to be a centerpiece in any collection. If you're seeking additional options, Lego offers several Marvel-themed sets, including other X-Men sets. For instance, you can purchase a 327-piece buildable Wolverine action figure for $25.75 (originally $33) from Amazon. This figure is based on Wolverine's appearance in X-Men '97. There's also a buildable X-Jet from the series, though it's quite pricey at $85 and consists of only 359 pieces. Arguably the most thrilling X-Men Lego set currently available is Wolverine's Adamantium Claws, a 596-piece kit exclusive to the Lego Store and Target. This set is nearing retirement, so act fast if you want to add it to your collection.
Beyond X-Men, there are numerous other large-scale Lego Marvel sets, such as the extensive Daily Bugle and Avengers Tower sets. However, the awe-inspiring Hulkbuster is currently on sale for $385 (originally $550) at the Lego Store. This impressive piece includes over 4,000 pieces to build a Hulk-fighting Iron Man suit, light-up Arc Reactors, and even a cockpit to house Lego's articulated Iron Man action figure (381 pieces). For those looking for more affordable options, some notable Marvel sets include a replica of Iron Man's Nano Gauntlet from Avengers: Endgame, a splash-page diorama of the Avengers assembling to take down HYDRA's forces, and a Guardians of the Galaxy set featuring the crew's iconic spaceship, the Milano.
