After yesterday's leak, LEGO has finally officially revealed 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 is releasing an 18+ version of the X-Men Mansion, which will be available in just a few weeks on November 4th, 2024. 76294 X-Men: The X-Mansion includes a total of 3,093 pieces for a retail price of $329.99 / €329.99 / £289.99.
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 the official images show just how busy the LEGO designers have been to make such an incredible play and display model.
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 27 cm (10.5 inches) high, 40 cm (16 inches) wide and 25 cm (10 inches) 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 which sits across a 48x32 stud baseplate - similar to this year's epic modular building of 10326 Natural History Museum. 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 white balcony. Above all of 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. Each of the three sections can then be split into thirds again allowing access to the two different floors and the play-packed interior.
Here we can find Professor X's laboratory including Cerebro, a classroom from the mutant school with a few screens and a bookshelf, Wolverine's bedroom and another bedroom for the students, the library, the lobby and the Danger Room training facility. Here students can train and face different brick-built traps with the room also containing walls and elements that can be reconfigured, removed and replaced.
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.
