Between the success of an animated series and Wolverine's box office dominance in the Deadpool threequel, X-Men fans have had plenty to celebrate. The excitement continues to build as Lego unveils an official X-Mansion set, bringing the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning to life. Members of the free Lego Insiders rewards program will have early access to this set, available for purchase on November 1 for $330, with general availability starting November 4.
This expansive Lego set consists of 3,093 pieces and is based on the X-Mansion featured in X-Men '97. It boasts a fully modular design, allowing for easy disassembly, much like a rampaging Juggernaut. The set includes 10 minifigures, each equipped with accessories and signature vehicles. Each room in the mansion is meticulously detailed, featuring at least one meme-worthy Easter egg. Highlights include Wolverine's room, classrooms, a library, the Cerebro control chamber, the Danger Room, and a lobby. Additionally, the set includes parts to construct a Sentinel, the notorious mutant-hunting robot, which stands impressively tall and features extensive articulation.
Designed to be a centerpiece in any collection, the X-Mansion is just one of many Marvel-themed sets available from Lego. For those seeking more options, Lego offers several other X-Men sets, such as a 327-piece buildable Wolverine action figure for $24 (originally $33) on Amazon, based on his appearance in X-Men '97. The buildable X-Jet from the series is also available but is pricier at $85 for 359 pieces. The most striking 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 set to retire soon, so act fast.
Beyond X-Men, Lego offers numerous large-scale Marvel sets, including the colossal Daily Bugle and Avengers Tower sets. The awe-inspiring Hulkbuster is currently on sale for $385 (originally $550) at the Lego Store, featuring over 4,000 pieces to build a Hulk-clobbering Iron Man suit, light-up Arc Reactors, and a cockpit for Lego's articulated Iron Man action figure (381 pieces). For more budget-friendly options, consider the replica of Iron Man's Nano Gauntlet from Avengers: Endgame, a splash-page diorama of the Avengers assembling to take down HYDRA's forces, or the Guardians of the Galaxy's signature spaceship, the Milano.
