I'm the same. If I get the set I'll likely use it as a basis to mod so its a bit taller and covers whole of plates then add a basement danger room underneath then display it on its own and not with other modulars. I am glad they've done it as a modular though even though its set too far back.

Thats what I use for my purist custom with Mr Burns torso and no surprise Lex Luthors head The head is one part of Prof X Im happy with in the Mansion. The colour of torso is disappointing part. We've just had this years modular announced and we're already picking minifigs for a modular we have no hint of coming. I'll play along. Don't forget Bombastic Bagman Spiderman which was a sticker in a Spidey set few years back. He'll def be in a Baxter Building modular set.

Its a shame they didn't have collected over released minifigures and missing over characters we haven't received in physical form yet. Would have been a nice easter egg. Cable and Old Man Logan only two characters we haven't got on the poster.

Should be 1st November for VIP/Insiders. 4th General Release. Likely they havent set website to target if youre an Insider or not and just have generic general date. If you want to buy multiple X-Mansions to get multiple Sentinels you get extra stickers to make the Sentinel look battle damaged

They all are, the whole thing is a time lapse of Mystique around the Mansion. When they said the minifgures were breaking out the logo they were being very generous!

Shame that announcement only came over a discord channel and wasnt a message on the page. Didnt have a backup of my standard parts list. At least there re new parts now!

Conspiracy Theory time: LAN members are in Billund the past week getting there yearly sneak peak at year ahead so maybe whispers have made there way to leakers

So a couple of days ago 76316 was Galactus vs Fantastic Four then that guy turned out to be a troll. Now 76316 is still Galactus vs Fantastic Four and is comic based. So was the troll so good at trolling he predicted the future?

Apparently 76316 is Galactus vs The Fantastic Four

Have you got 'Show out of stock' on? Thats what they are showing as to me

Another data point to take into account is about 5 (maybe longer) an X-Manison got 10k votes on lego ideas (maybe cuusoo at time) but was rejected for a set to be made. So Lego knew there was some demand for one in recent times

Unless they've changed the production techniques/plastic type for Iceman its not possible for transparent minifig parts to be combined together so it'll likely be similar to the Orion figure from the recent Space CMF. Basically solid colour torso with rest transparent.

The Gambit figure (or whoever is top left) might be using the new Ninjago Wolf energy pieces - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=5500&idColor=17#T=S&C=17&O={"color":17,"ss":"UK","rpp":"50","iconly":0} (which I thought Carnage or Venom would get in Superhero theme first) What is he fighting though as hes facing away from the Sentinel?

The elf heads were in the table football set last(?) year so were already on PaB but didnt realize they were reuses until today.

The DnD capes and dragon wings pack (assuming its a pack) is expensive. It is frustrating that sorting by newest doesn't really work as it seems to be when they were added to the inventory even if they aren't visible for purchase on PaB at the time.

Maybe they will (though personally don't think so) as they have a Lego Marvel booth separate from the main Lego booth and are giving away a wolverine pin or something tomorrow so might be waiting to display/announce then. Wishful thinking perhaps

None of those are bestseller in Europe at least in my country

The cow went down in price after about a year. Still massively expensive though

This feels a little bit of a stretch (and it might have been proven incorrect elsewhere) but I saw a comment on the 'Clown" IP set on r/legoleaks which was posted on insta by TandNBricks with clouds that look like Simpsons clouds which makes alot of people think its a Krusty Burger set (Clown codename seems too on nose for that to me as codenames usually have no affiliation with theme/set as thats the point of a codename). Anyway the comment posted TandNBricks Aprils fools post telling people to decide whether the below list is a joke or real Simpson will return Horizon isnt a one off LOTR will return in 2025 Pokemon is coming Endor is next mbs Indiana Jones will return It's heavily rumoured that a Lego Horizon game is in the works and likely will mean sets based off it and if (BIG IF) "Clown" is Simpson related that makes first two real so might mean that all are actually real and was a very early tease to them all. Even if true could just mean another giant set or a wave of sets, who knows. I know @TandNbricks is on eurobricks so maybe he'd like to confirm or deny each point on list

Randomly the white space baby/micro body has shown up but no head airtank combo part. I wonder if it'll come in another set or promo will return or if its just overstock

Nice collection! Id love to know the parts list for some of your custom figs (assuming their purist creations?). Mainly Spoiler, Power girl, Wonder girl, Mad Hatter, Martha Joker and Aqualad and any you're particularly proud of.

Where have these rumours come from?

I echo this @TheDoctor It being modular is great but more for ease of modding than replicating existing segments. Hard to say without seeing it in person how much extra height would give it better proportion (and no idea if I have space for extra height )

Im tempted to change the outer struts of orange and brown to black in that section and leave the orange and brown behind those in place to see if it gives an artificial glow affect that they went with around the eye at the top. Dont know if it'll work or not

Agreed. For 5000 piece set, one floor is approx a tenth (depending on floor) of that so makes selecting parts bit cumbersome. They could maybe allow filtering by bag number of a set. At least that narrows it down without them having to make specific part ("floor") lists to find the parts. Just makes sense to reduce the friction when advertising a set can be extended especially in this set where half of a 2nd set (i.e. the base) would be unusable for adding to the height. Lego must know that the amount of people who can afford a 2nd set is less than those who would buy parts through PaB or bricklink. Even tho they own bricklink they would likely get more money through PaB extension packs and reducing friction to buy it that way increases the people more likely to do it. Agree also with extension pack demand thats why from Lego's POV a PaB extension solution would be ideal for customer and Legos profit.
