It has become a tradition in recent years that one of the last sets of the calendar year is a brand-new LEGO Marvel D2C and 2024 is no different. After the huge success of 76269 Avengers Tower, this year LEGO will be releasing an 18+ version of the X-Men Mansion on the 1st of November 2024. 76294 Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters 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 suggesting some ever-so-slight adjustments to the final model which launches in a few months time.
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 a mix of grey, tan and dark tan as its main colour scheme. The Mansion is spread across two storeys with a full and extremely detailed interior. Reports also 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 1.5 ordinary LEGO baseplates.
At the front of Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters, there's a gate build along with a side build of a Sentinel. Next to the robot build can stand our nine Minifigures which are also included in the $330 build. These are Wolverine with a bike, a new Gambit, Storm with a new hairpiece, Cyclops, a new version of Jean, Iceman, Bishop and Professor Xavier, and finally a reused version of Rogue.
