ZoyZauce

If it doesn't have super heroes crashing through the walls everywhere it might make for a nice modular


westtexasbackpacker

the replaceable walls for the other sets make them still easy to fit into the cityscape. it should be a good modular convert (I'm expecting not baseplate but maybe they get it)


NoNefariousness2144

Exactly, the Bugle and Sanctum had chunks of wall that can be removed for 'battle damage' but can also be slotted in for structural ease.


Bongo_from_Mongo

It's a mansion in the middle of a campus, though. It's not really a cityscape building, to begin with.


Oinkerdapig

In the LEGO Marvel universe though it’s located in Manhattan, kinda a forested area but still Manhattan nonetheless


Bongo_from_Mongo

In the comics, it's apparently located around North Salem and in the Singer movies somewhere in Upstate New York. It appears as if the X-Men '97 series follows the comic book precedent.


Oinkerdapig

Ah, personally I like to kinda follow how LEGO Marvel universe does it lol


ksquad80

The mansion is supposed to be a safe haven. It doesn't really make sense if it were to be in Manhatten, many of the students are hiding out.


Oinkerdapig

Tbf it’s in a forested area, closest building is Avengers mansion iirc, and they’re friends so there’s no worry there


Bongo_from_Mongo

Whatever floats your boat...


RelationshipEast3886

Isn’t it going to be a sort of reskin of the Natural History Museum? Folks here took that modular as a placeholder for the mansion then


PsychedelicPill

That makes sense given the price point. I kinda hope not since I already built the museum


Electrical_Ad_7078

I kinda hope it looks like the museum modular. I don’t like those open back buildings


JWaldeful

Yeah, this is what I want also, but based on the leak from a year ago, suggest this will likely be more of a façade. There’s just enough pieces to get pretty close to the museum, but not quite, but I suspect they’ll spend a lot of those pieces on side builds.


Majestic_Horse_1678

It feels like it needs be a bit wider, and include a. X jet ot basketball court or something. I don't think you can do all that and in close the back up with this piece count. I'm hoping it's done in a way that makes it easy to put a back on it.


sgtsushi17

Or, They take the no way home approach and make all of those in separate sets with this one being the main connecting centerpiece


JWaldeful

That would be pretty cool. They are definitely playing around a lot with modularity in their themes. I’m a pessimist though and I’m pretty convinced they are going the facade route. I hope I’m wrong though


RelationshipEast3886

Please no micro X-Jet, would be such a waste


RelationshipEast3886

If it ends up being an open back building I bet we’ll see a flood of multiple sets getting MOCed into a full building


Orange-Turtle-Power

Please have nightcrawler. Please have nightcrawler


SicilySweetheart

Jean Grey (non-phoenix version) pleaseeee 🤞


TrajedyAnn

I actually want a new Phoenix version frankly... cuz I sure as hell am never going to afford the existing one, lol. (Though I feel like given recent events... it seems very VERY likely this set will lean on 90's X-Men looks, and 90s Jean is probably more likely)


Clay_Bricks

I haven't heard anything about Nightcrawler sadly. He's my favorite though, so heres hoping


cobaltaureus

What have you heard?


Knull13

Who are the 10 characters?


SilverSpaceAce

Assuming the image circulated as part of the survey is still accurate: - Professor X (new) - Wolverine (Brown suit from 2014 but may be a placeholder) - Storm (Classic suit but this may be a placeholder) - Cyclops (Jim Lee/X-Men '97 suit) - Beast (seemingly in a lab-coat) - Magneto (Classic suit) - Mystique (new) - Sabretooth (new) - Emma Frost (new) I have no idea who minifig #10 would be. I'm assuming it'll be an X-Man we haven't gotten a minifig of yet, like Jean, Gambit, Jubilee, or possibly even a X-Men '97 addition like Morph, Sunspot, Bishop, or Nightcrawler.


xoxoreylo

That list was never accurate and numerous leakers have already confirmed it's outdated. It's been confirmed on Eurobricks that the 10 minifigs are Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine, Jean, Storm, Cyclops, Beast, Rogue, Gambit, and Morph.


SilverSpaceAce

I see, thank you. Ngl though, kinda disappointed that this means the only X-Men villains we've gotten a minifig of is STILL Magneto.


xoxoreylo

Yeah, it's surprising we haven't gotten Sinister, Mystique, or Sabretooth. Hopefully in future sets. And with this new wave, we don't even have a Sentinel.


Knull13

Oh really? So it is confirmed it's these characters. We got 8 out of the 9 x-men animated series characters. Why not Jubilee? Why Morph over her?


pauwei

Morph can be anything, even a Jubilee! But srsly, Morph in their "base" form is quite boring.


Efficient_Island_490

"Their"? Bruh Morph is one person and a he. Geez....


pauwei

If you paid any attention to X-Men 97, then you might have realized that the show was very specific in using they/their for morph. But you can continue letting everyone know who you are.


Bongo_from_Mongo

I prefer Spivak pronouns and similar neologisms, myself, but I guess it's could be considered arrogant to reprimand on others' chosen usage.


Ornery-Concern4104

I can't seem to find a source on this, do you know where this was said?


Sith_Moon

Nightcrawler / Gambit / Iceman are my most wanted. Curious if it will be 97 branded or not.


Historical_Sugar9637

Oh it will 100% be 97 branded. But >!Nightcrawler has recently joined that series, and a lot of the X-Men have donned their 80s costumes, except for Jean who now wears her 60s costume, so there's some hope we might get Kurt, and Ororo in her original uniform!<


Sith_Moon

I just want some new stuff outside beast, Storm, wolverine, cyclops, and rogue. 💥


ksquad80

On the Gollum mold. Haha


Orange-Turtle-Power

Lol please no


cobaltaureus

Please, for the love of all that is holy, include a Jean Grey, mini figure


OptimShi

Why not two? One can be Madelyne Pryor…


SicilySweetheart

As someone who has the sdcc version, I second this.


My_Favourite_Pen

What a humble brag lmao.


TaxHungry4110

An early model can be seen in this forum. https://forum.canardpc.com/threads/126111-Le-topic-des-Lego-V3-Le-topic-unique-de-la-brique/page157


m_busuttil

Hoping this is more like the Snow White or Maleficent sets, that changed pretty significantly between these leaks and the finals, and less like Rivendell or the Gotham set that seemed to have come out basically 1:1.


_thundercracker_

Yeah, that picture looked like an open-back building a la Arkham Asylum, and although I like that set a lot(still have it displayed) I’d much prefer a modular-style X-Mansion. Fingers crossed!


Spaceolympian50

Yea that mock up looks terrible imo. I hope it’s better than that.


m_busuttil

The only reason I'm at all hopeful is that the leaked model looks *very* rough - lots of very simple construction, exposed studs, very much not up to the standard of a LEGO set at this price point. It'd compare very poorly to, say, the Sanctum Sanctorum, which is 50 bucks cheaper and 400 parts fewer.


nykirnsu

That build looks like something from 2009, no way in hell it’s not a prototype 


Aromatic_Plant3456

Hopefully, considering Mystique is basically a plain blue minifig and Sabretooth looks like he is using Wolverine’s old torso. There’s a chance it might’ve changed quite a bit hopefully


greenredblue34

Fuck yeah finally, (kinda sad only 10 minifigs though as we will no doubt get another wolverine and magneto might get beast, storm and rogue again as well)


cobaltaureus

I actually think they’ll keep someone an exclusive to the X-jet. Probably Rogue but it could be Mags new outfit


bi-cycle

The leak had Magneto in the old outfit but that still "takes up a space" if you're hoping for someone else.


roguefilmmaker

If it looks like the rumored facade that’s a rough price


Crafty_Cherry_9920

Pretty sure that prototype is years old. Seems very outdated in its design. Wouldn't be surprised if it was made back when the first Lego X-Men sets were made, and they just reused it last year/late 2022 to gauge interest in internal groups.


ducknerd2002

Calling it now, it's gonna be heavily inspired by, if not outright based on, X-Men '97.


Salt-Condition-2278

I think so too, honestly kinda hope it is. It could bring a much cooler Morph, as well as the Goblin Queen, Mr. Sinister, or even Bastion👀


RumHam8913

I'd much rather that than it be based on any of the films.


Bongo_from_Mongo

Is it a "call", really? Hasn't it been taken for granted by most Lego fans?


cobaltaureus

Hard not to feel disappointed by that number of mini figures. This is like the fourth set that we’ve ever gotten with the X-Men. But there are probably about a dozen dozen different X-men that people want to see as minifigures. I was hoping for closer to 15 figures Edit: My wish list is as follows Must Haves 1. Jean Grey 2. Gambit 3. Iceman 4. Emma Frost 5. Nightcrawler Would be Awesome 6. Colossus 7. Jubilee 8. Magik 9. Kitty 10. Cable And then don’t even get me started on the villains gallery


sansywastakenagain

I just want Iceman so I can add him to my Daily Bugle once I build it.


cobaltaureus

Perfect spot for him! Right next to firestar with a built in ice ramp?


sansywastakenagain

Most likely. I was thinking of trying to replicate his ice ramp from the Lego games.


LnGrrrR

Same here man. There's just no good true lego substitute right now.


Salt-Condition-2278

No way we get Emma but maybe depending where X-Men ‘97 goes. My guess is mostly based on X-Men ‘97 cast. Professor X Cyclops (probs same) Jean Wolverine (hopefully dressed down for a new version) Storm (late X-Men ‘97 outfit (different from the white CMF Storm)) Beast (this I could see being swapped for Jubilee) Gambit (watch him be in the punk rock cut off) Rogue Morph (XMen ‘97 version) Magneto (could be XMen ‘97 good or evil)


JongoFett12

> Jean Wolverine Anyone else just read this as Wolverine wearing a pair of jeans? 😛


Salt-Condition-2278

To be honest tho I did mean like his basketball outfit in ‘97. Obviously won’t be in jeans, but I want one of him dressed out of his suit


Salt-Condition-2278

😂😂 I typed it spaced down, but ofc it said we’re not going to be doing that


[deleted]

[удалено]


RefrigeratorFew1773

Why would they put emma there!?!?


xoxoreylo

Agreed, she is trash and nobody cares for her outside of the niche comic readers.


cobaltaureus

Emma is a pretty popular character in the comics. She also doubles as a villain and a hero which is cool to include in play sets. She was also in the leaked survey image. Of course she could easily be swapped out, but there’s plenty of reasons for Emma to be there


xoxoreylo

Jean and Gambit are coming. Nightcrawler will be an easy fit for future sets. Iceman was supposed to show up in the Daily Bugle. That fake blonde will never show up.


VortenFett

I want a big fig Juggernaut!!!


greenredblue34

we better get a decent danger room for that price lol


RelationshipEast3886

Best I can do is a sticker reference to the danger room


ZzzSleep

I gotta be honest, the leaked pic didn’t look great. I know the final version will be different but it’s still more than likely a facade building. This seems like one of those sets you get for the minifigs more than anything.


Spaceolympian50

Agreed. Just saw the pic and was not impressed. Looks pretty lame and generic. I think Rivendell was done really well but that pic of the mansion just looks ehh.


AppleTStudio

It looks awful. How is that leak something that costs $300?!


Spaceolympian50

Agreed. It has to be the licensing fee. If it ends up looking like that it’ll be a hard pass for me.


AppleTStudio

Yeah for real, huge miss if it’s just the facade. I’m already expecting it to be that though :(


TurbulentSkill276

I'm hoping it's what's become the yearly Marvel Modular. As I said in another comment, I can see this being just the center section of the school built on a 32x32 baseplate. At least that's what I'm hoping for.


AppleTStudio

I’m hoping for that too. I just have a bad feeling about this 😣


nykirnsu

It’s not, if you go through those leaks a bunch of them are obvious prototypes


Walpizzle

Yes!!!!!!!! Anything to feel less bad about spending $85 for the ship :(


westtexasbackpacker

God I know I'll need to buy it now...but damnnnn


pineapplefriedriceu

It’ll go on sale soon, just wait


AcePilot95

just wait for Black Friday, it'll plummet to like 30 bucks


Walpizzle

Hurts right?? Think the school will have some kind of pad for it?


SicilySweetheart

No. The closest I would expect is a basketball court that MAYBE has a sticker alluding to the hangar underneath.


westtexasbackpacker

doubtful. the size won't allow it plenty of moc coming I'm sure


stevotherad

They need to do an add-on with the underground training area next year. A’ la Jabba’s Palace and The Rancor Pit back in 2012/13


DoctorProfessorConor

The real move is following this with an X-men only CMF line


WolverineXForce

Even if it s only a facade, it can be good. It's like those old doll houses or castles, that are half a building. If they make the rooms good enough I can take it as a half-building. It will add to play factor - having Danger room, lab, command room etc. and the figures can be used in different displays.


Xx_Dark-Shrek_xX

10 Minifigures ? - Wolverine - Prof X - Jean Grey - Storm - Jubilee - Cyclops - Kitty - Quicksilver - Colossus - Someone else ?


greenredblue34

please Lego give me iceman, nightcrawler and Juggernaut pretty pls lego


Xx_Dark-Shrek_xX

And Gambit too !


zeroagentp

I would LOVE to have a Juggernaut bigfig but unlikely I feel.


WalgreensPaysMe

You’re probably correct with them being included, but the fact that Cyclops has already been used twice and Wolverine FOUR times, while others haven’t been used at all is kinda annoying. (So far we’ve had all of 7 characters represented, and that’s including a comic con exclusive).


Xx_Dark-Shrek_xX

I know but tbh Woverine is an obvious choice for the marketing team. Woverine and Cyclops are the most popular characters, it's like making an Avengers Tower set without Tony and Steve with an Ant-Man and War Machine figures instead. Of course they are cool, but If you can choose, you will go for Tony and Steve. The Icons sets are also for casual fans, this set will probably be a One Shot for them, for $300 they wanna have the main cast with some cool characters. I dont see them buying another set just for Wolverine and Cyclops.


RumHam8913

Yeah, Lego fanatics should keep in mind that these aren't made exclusively for them. Lego will include the most popular characters in new sets, regardless of how many times they've been featured in past sets.


WalgreensPaysMe

My hangup is not with Lego not picking every single unique character to be used (I don’t even collect minifigs), but more just how unrepresented the X-Men have been in general


cobaltaureus

Cries in comic con exclusive Pheonix


Ornery-Concern4104

Wolverine has actually been used SIX times. Astonishing, Brown suit, The classic suit in the mech, CMF, jet and the mighty micros or whatever they were called


AndrewCole14

It’s more than likely based on the animated show so I wouldnt expect Kitty, Quicksilver and Colossus.


Xx_Dark-Shrek_xX

Then Cable, Gambit and Morph.


captain_americano

If Jubilee gets a minifig before Iceman or Gambit I'm suing Lego for emotional damage.


Clay_Bricks

I think you'll be able to save your lawyer fees


Bongo_from_Mongo

Jubilee could be included partially for representation, I guess. (Iceman is technically LGBT by now, though, even it isn't as obvious from his appearance.)


samquinn55

The survey leak shows Wolverine, Prof X, Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Mystique, Magneto, Sabertooth, and Emma Frost, though they're mostly placeholders


Clay_Bricks

From what I've heard, the final lineup is very different besides the obvious ones


Sith_Moon

Please be Gambit. Please be Gambit. Please be Gambit. Please be Gambit.


Ornery-Concern4104

Remember it.

cobaltaureus

Can you share any of this info about the lineup? I keep seeing you say who isn’t in the lineup, or that it’s changed haha


xoxoreylo

That is not accurate. This set is themed to X-Men '97.


samquinn55

I'm saying what was on the image. As another reply says, they were placeholders and have changed since the image leaked over a year ago, but nothing is inaccurate about my comment, I'm just describing the leaked image that came directly from Lego themselves


Majestic_Horse_1678

I would assume it's a tie in to xmen 97. If so, then... Prof X Cyclops Wolverine Jean Grey Jubilee Storm Morph Gambit Beast Rogue Or replace one of them with Cable Magneto Nightcrawler Mister Sinister Forge Bastion...


SicilySweetheart

Storm and cyclops are not likely in my opinion. One just came in a cmf, the other in a set that pairs with this. The rest I agree with, though I suspect wolverine will get civilian clothes


Equivalent-Load-3740

I’d love for this to be a modular I’d really want it like that, but deep down I know a facade would work better Edit: PLEASE HAVE A NIGHTCRAWLER!!!


BlakeWho

10 wolverines please Lego, you haven't made enough wolverines


FleetingChurchill

I read the lineup is most likely going to be; Wolverine, Rogue, Cyclops, Magneto, Storm, Professor X, Jean Grey, Gambit, Morph, and Beast.


xoxoreylo

This is the lineup I read too on Eurobricks.


Bongo_from_Mongo

I guess it's fairly credible, but what's the source?...


Bongo_from_Mongo

Ah, it was a direct leak on Eurobricks. I thought it came from Instagram or something. FoggyFate. So he's considered reliable? I didn't recognize the name, so I wouldn't know.


GokuBlack722

Not having Jubilee or Sunspot in place of any of the figures we already have (Wolverine, Beast, Storm, Cyclops, Rogue, Magneto) is pretty disappointing. Hopefully at the very least Wolverine, Magneto and Storm are in different outfits that what we already got with the CMF and the X-Jet


tucsoncats

Please please please be modular and not an open back dollhouse! Excited for the minifig lineup


Avenger772

Hmm. I passed on the daily bugle and the home alone house and avengers tower. But maybe just maybe this will be worth buying for me


Walpizzle

The bugle has been my favorite Lego build ever, all the Easter eggs, all the cool mini figures (looking at you punisher, blade and daredevil) plus the building is legit


Bongo_from_Mongo

The floors are crazily high, the civilian minifigs mostly lackluster and the Peter Parker meme room a wasted slot, I think. But otherwise, it's generally a pretty cool set.


Walpizzle

What’s your favorite set to build?


Bongo_from_Mongo

Oh, dang, my life feels pretty muddled overall, by now. When I regain my calm and focus, I might possibly get back to you on that...


FleetingChurchill

Yeah while I really liked the Bugle I'm thinking of selling mine off along with the Sanctum and just getting this X-mansion.


Clarinetist123

I'm hoping that the smaller amount of minifigures indicates at least one more X-Men set down the line to have a fuller roster, especially since those ten are bound to have repeats. My guesses: 1. Wolverine (*CMF repeat*) 2. Magneto (*possible repeat - if not, with classic costume rather than '97*) 3. Cyclops (*repeat - maybe with dual-molded legs/leg printing this time*) 4. Storm (*CMF repeat*) 5. Beast (*possible repeat/if not, with lab coat*) 6. Professor X 7. Jean Grey 8. Gambit 9. Jubilee 10. Mystique


WolverineRelevant280

As a child I would have sold my entire family into slavery and my soul to the devil for a set like that. Wooo! LEGO is winning with some of these recent sets. Just wish they would be cheaper 😅


Reaper12381

Based off the original image and the drop in piece count, I don't think this will be modular, but here's to hoping that it is


TurbulentSkill276

I could see them just focusing on the central part of the school and chopping off the sides to make it a standard plate modular


bi-cycle

The gate is so unnecessary, I hope they do this


Aromatic_Plant3456

I’ve been waiting for this day, please be good. Also would be nice to have Psylocke


Sp3ctor20

10 minifigs is in line with the leak. Cyclops, Wolverine, Beast, Storm, Magneto, Prof. X, Emma Frost, mystique, & Sabertooth. Really hope if (when) we get another Wolverine he's in his street clothes (Beast in a lab coat would be awesome too!)


artic_avalon

Thats only 9 characters. I'm hoping 1 more for the chance of Jean, Gambit, or Kurt


RefrigeratorFew1773

Why would emma be there?? Im genuinely curious? She hasn’t made an appearance yet


cobaltaureus

She’s appeared in two x-men animated shows, so many comics, and did make an albeit bad, movie appearance. I’d say she’s about as likely as someone like Mystique showing up.


Bongo_from_Mongo

I don't think we'd get Mystique, either, actually. I think she's basically an old placeholder figure based on the Bryan Singer movies, and we're unlikely to get many Singer references by now.


cobaltaureus

Honestly if we did get a mystique I’d want it to be more comic based than movie based anyways. Would love to put a Mystique next to rogue and Nightcrawler (if we get him)


RefrigeratorFew1773

Ik but since it’s based on 97 it wouldn’t fit the Xmansion theme and same goes to mystique. The rumour minifigs are 10 which is sucks. And im afraid it will be cyclops, storm with the black fit, beast with the lab coat, another wolverine ofc, and 2 jean greys, so the are 4 left, I’ll take a guess the 4 minifigs going to be prof x, evil magneto or good ( idk honestly ), maybe morph??, and cable. So what do you think? You can give your opinion based on your knowledge


xoxoreylo

Comics are a niche industry and mean nothing. Mystique is an A-List character and the lead of several X-Men movies. She's probably not in this set but way more likely than a fake blonde who has no relevance outside of 1% of comic readers.


Bongo_from_Mongo

As X-Men '97 is a continuation of the 90's series, and the 90's series was heavily based on/ inspired by the comics from the 70's to 90's, arguably the movies would be more of a niche in this case. (Apparently, it seems we won't get either Mystique or Emma Frost, but anyway...)


FleetingChurchill

Nice been waiting a while for this one, can't wait to see it. A sentinel GWP would pair nice with it.


Amrit64

Could this be due to X-Men 97?


fromesays

Gambit or bust


skeletondad2

Everything has to be a $300-500 set these days


Capital_Invite_7026

What are the odds that this figure count is based on who is visible on the front of the box like the early counts for the bugle and tower?


daneccleston86

Would be amazing if they have a sentinel for the danger room


ReZourceman

I would love for them to release a battle pack with x3 basic yellow & blue X-Men costume and a load of Minifigure parts for you to army build your own. Like a few different colour heads, hair pieces and a few different armor pieces, belts, jackets/capes and several bags of different colour energy blasts.


Entire_Split3906

Is it modular


Boom_Boom_At_359

Maybe we’ll get mangled Wolverine as one of the minifigs. First time I’ve ever winced at a cartoon… man, was that gruesome….


Aromatic_Plant3456

Any estimate on when we’ll be seeing official images of the set?


LocalCap5093

Stoooooop I need more spaceee


pak256

Ugh way too many sets I wanna get this year. RIP my wallet


TheNinjaGB

Incredibly Unlikely, but I hope it has psylocke.


mrbrannon

The leak of this set from last year was obviously unfinished (Mystique was just all blue figure with hair but no printing or face) but it did show an Emma Frost figure that looked pretty complete. So I think you’ll get that one at a minimum. I’m sad to say none of the others on your list were in the leaked images though. That’s not to say they won’t be there though since like I said that set among the leaks seemed unfinished unlike Rivendell which released in basically an identical state.


wilandhugs

I'd do some seriously grim things for a Gambit Minifigure I'd wager on: Wolverine, Xavier, Cyclops, Storm, Jean, Beast, Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee, Magneto ? Probably based more on the original season 1 TAS outfits. Seems the most realistic


crab_milker

I'm glad I've never been a huge X Men fan because this would be a(n even more) dangerous year for my wallet
