To me, my LEGO X-Men! LEGO have officially unveiled the 76294 X-Men: The X-Mansion, a stunning love letter to Marvel’s X-Men universe that’s slated to be released on 1 November 2024.
This 3,093-piece set features a highly-detailed (and modular compatible!) model of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, complete with an x-cellent lineup of 10 minifigures featuring some of your favourite mutants.
76294 X-Men: The X-Mansion will retail for US$329.99 / AU$499.99 / £289.99 and will be available on 1 November (for LEGO Insiders, ahead of a 4 November general release) exclusively from LEGO.com or your local LEGO store. For fans that order the set between 1-7 November 2024, you’ll also receive a limited edition 6546714 Cerebro gift with purchase!
See below for regional pricing and links.

Here’s a look at the 6546714 Cerebro which features Professor X in an alternate outfit, plus Cerebro which has a great Easter Egg featuring Jubilee who is conspicuously missing from the X-Mansion!
The big drawcard is the minifigure line-up with an incredible lineup of iconic X-Men characters. We have Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Professor X, Magneto, Rogue, Gambit, Bishop and Iceman! The ones in bold are brand new characters that make their debut as LEGO Minifigures, although you could make an argument that Jean Grey did technically make her debut as a Phoenix which is a rare 2012 San Diego Comic Con exclusive.
It’s a pretty solid lineup, and I’m especially happy that we finally have a Gambit and Bishop minifigure, two absolute stalwarts from the X-Men cartoons and comics. I am a little miffed that Jubilee isn’t in this, and of course, I could rattle off missing X-Men like Angel and Nightcrawler, but we’ll be here all day.
You’ll also definitely need Beast from LEGO Marvel Minifigures Series 2 in this set, among other characters.
The X-Mansion is quite large, with two levels and can be split into 3 different section, offering unprecedented modularity. And yes, it’s also Modular-compatible, so of course you’re encouraged to link it up with the 76269 Avengers Tower, 76178 Daily Bugle, and 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum for a growing Marvel Modular Street.
The LEGO X-Mansion measures over 16 in. (40 cm) wide and 10.6 in. (27cm) tall, with a depth of 9.8 in. (25cm).
The interiors are packed with details, and features many familiar sections such as the Danger Room, Classroom, Cerebro, Lab and more. Like the Daily Bugle and Avengers Tower, the set is filled with plenty of Easter Eggs that X-Men fans will absolutely love seeking out, complete with references to many other mutants that didn’t make the cut in the set.
Here are some more lifestyle photos supplied by LEGO!
I think this set looks great and X-Men fans are going to LOVE what designers Justin Ramsden and Mark Tranter (graphics & minifigures) have done with the X-Mansion.
Stay tuned for my review for my whole thoughts and a better look at the set!
76294 X-Men: The X-Mansion will be available on 1 November 2024 exclusively from LEGO.com or your local LEGO store.
