Finally, we have our first leaked images of the biggest LEGO Marvel set of the year and one of the most anticipated LEGO sets of 2024. After the huge success of 76269 Avengers Tower, this year LEGO will be releasing an 18+ version of the X-Men Mansion which will be available in just a few weeks time on the 1st of November 2024. 76294 X-MEN: X-Mansion includes a total of 3,093 pieces for a retail price of $329.99 / €329.99 / £279.99.
Avid LEGO fans will know that a brand new D2C of the X-Men Mansion has been known about since February 2023 with the infamous survey leak. That original model included 3,122 pieces and today's leaked images thanks to the set being found early in a LEGO store in Athens, show that the LEGO designers have been extremely busy making this sets look as incredible as it does.
For those who don't know, the X-Men Mansion - or the Xavier's Insitute - is the school Charles Xavier created to train young mutants and is also the secret base for the X-Men. With that over 3,000 piece count, 76294 will become the biggest X-Men set in LEGO form with the build measuring over 10 inches (25 cm) high, 21 inches (53 cm) wide and 6 inches (17 cm) deep.
The giant brick-built X-Men Mansion is mainly reddish brown as its main colour scheme with plenty of masonry bricks also included in the buildings architecture. The Mansion is spread across two storeys with a full and extremely detailed interior. Reports claim that 76294 is similar to the LEGO Ideas model of 21330 Home Alone whereby LEGO bricks completely cover the building but can be opened via hinge connections. The 18+ model also includes Technic pin holes allowing a modular connection as it expands across two ordinary LEGO baseplates.
The Mansion itself is set back a little from the front of the baseplate allowing a small section of the street below and plenty of action poses from our Minifigures. As we already mentioned, the building spans across two floors and continues that reddish brown, masonry architecture mixed in with the brown windows and the iconic balcony. Above all this is a smooth dark blue roof and the iconic white dome which Magneto can blow apart.
To allow even further access to the extremely detailed and easter egg-packed interior, 76294 X-MEN: X-Mansion can be split into three parts. Although the leaked image doesn't show any of the interior, rumours claim the entrance hall, Xavier's Lab with Cerebro, the Danger Room, a classroom and much more will be included inside.
At the front of Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters, there's a gate build along with a side build of a large purple and pink Sentinel. Next to the robot build, we can stand our ten Minifigures which are also included in the $330 build. These are Wolverine with a blue motorbike, a new Gambit, Storm with a new hairpiece, Magneto with a purple cape, Cyclops, a new version of Jean Grey, Iceman, Bishop and Professor Xavier in his iconic brick-built chair, and finally a reused version of Rogue.
