I mean, he's not wrong. Used to be able to justify it cos of the minifigs but there's that many sets since Disney bought it that they're not very exclusive anymore.
Taking into account inflation, it’s no more expensive per piece than it was 30 years ago. It’s just some of the sets are much bigger now. We never had 3000 piece sets when I was a kid.
Was in this store on Monday. Was looking at the gringotts bank looks like a very cool build. I like the x men mansion but it does look undersized and overpriced to me
Do you guys do any of the Puzzles ? They released a new puzzle 5008976 on nov 1st that is really nice. Also new is the 5008975 christmas tree. I need it :D
The Xmen set looks even more over priced than the other modulars. And it’s so small considering it’s supposed to be a mansion. I just got one of the retiring speed champions sets and the Christmas BAM figures that were released today
Depends on the set, but on the whole, yes. Obviously not as much as if you keep it sealed though. Either way, it's not really something I'm massively bothered about, I don't buy it with a view to selling it one day. I only keep track of the value roughly to make sure it's all insured!
You should have ordered online to get 2 books are my passion.I think it is unfair to you to get only 1 .I ordered a frame cabin and am happy to get one of these
Nothing new is calling me today. I did get the Medieval Market 20% off from Smythstoys a week ago. I also have Holiday Main Street and Santa's Visit in the Loft which I should make a start on soon. As you say you have to be really invested in Xmen to go for the Mansion. It looks like they maybe should have gone for a bit bigger and a bit higher in price. It certainly doesn't help bringing it out and placing it right next to a set that is the same price yet bigger and with more pieces.
I’ve given up buying LEGO. Their prices are simply too rich for my pocket. Over the last 3 years or so, I’ve been buying less and less. But, I’ve now taken the decision to stop completely. The brand has become a luxury item and is exactly what they’ve been aiming for since introducing their 18+ Adult line. Oh well, more money to buy food and heat my house!
The X-MEN set looks like a let down due to the size for the price you paid for it. My brother and sister in law are massive Lego collectors, and it's a pain to buy them new sets as gifts because we don't know what sets they have or don't. It's now to the point that we just ask. We have managed to get my brother the NASCAR car for his birthday today and another car for xmas that he hopefully doesn't buy.
It was amazing to speak and to have a picture with you Sent the picture to you by email Hope you enjoy building the xmansion & botanical gardens 😊 Where did you place your big 1966 Batmobile?
Am I the only one that was massively disappointed with the x mansion? apart from the fact it’s meant to be a mansion and it’s only one floor, for the price compared to what you get it’s tiny and looks ridiculous next to the sanctorum and the other marvel Lego buildings. Think I’ll wait for to hit the sales as I think £300ish is an absolute rip off for what you get. I’d rather pay more for a better build. Massively disappointed
“Sw stuff is priced by maniacs” 😂😂
I stand by it.

Great video! I’ve seen a few mods to the x-men mansion to make it more comparable. Not sure I want to buy two mansions to do it though!! 😅😂
I spot me building the new BAM minifigs LOL :)
I just don’t have the patience - I need a grown up to find all the parts for me!
@ LOL I could have build them for you! I was getting a few sets of them for friends! Let me know next time 😉
Lego has changed a bit since I was a kid. Price wise they are taking you lot to the cleaners shocking prices. Good vlog Kev👍

@@blockpartyuk fair enough. I never bought them I was only a kid who got them for my birthday or Christmas. I don't know how I ended here 😆 I love FM⚽
The fm video budgets get spent in here i guess😂😂😂😭😭😭
This channel is completely self sustaining! The money I make on the FM channel gets wasted on things like rent and heating
i cant get the winter main street set here in New Zealand as its sold out but i would be keen on pay shipping if you could get a set for me.
The nearest Lego shop to me doesn’t have the x-mansion until Monday so I’m going for that.

I haven’t done a puzzle since I was a kid. Probably best I stay away from them incase I enjoy it!
Frasers have the Liebhbher technic crane at £329 today if you want to further bankrupt yourself
Enjoy building it! I skip the Mansion as I think it is overpriced for what it is…but tastes are different 😜
I’m sure it’ll be heavily discounted soon enough. The sanctum sanctorum has been on some huge discounts from time to time
The Xmen set looks even more over priced than the other modulars. And it’s so small considering it’s supposed to be a mansion. I just got one of the retiring speed champions sets and the Christmas BAM figures that were released today
In general I don’t find the Modular’s overpriced. The xmansion definitely is though
any advice for keeping dust off your sets/dusting your sets kev?
Make up brushes and a tiny hoover! Or go the mega expensive route and put everything in plastic display cases!
Excellent haul 😁 - How are you building your brick cross? I can’t find the instructions on the app just say coming soon I really want to start mine
I downloaded the PDF version
Please build the botanical garden on a stream!
I’ll see if Anna can wait that long, she’s only just started the burrow!
Not sure how I didnt notice you filming 😅
I'm a ninja.
Does this stuff appreciate in value once opened and set up?

Just given away to local children Ninjago destiny barge, Had to many, saved one, Just bought jaws and got book shelve free nice.
Disappointed in the X-Men set being as small as it is.
Yeah, I’m hoping someone comes up with a good rebrickable for it asap
The mansion should be at least 2 baseplates
Yeah, I was also hoping for an underground bit too like with the Gringotts set. So much potential, and we got this…
£300 for that X-men set is insane. And the fact that cerebro is a separate set is insane as well.
Yep, ripoff.
It should be included in the mansion set
It’s a tad small for the price
You should have ordered online to get 2 books are my passion.I think it is unfair to you to get only 1 .I ordered a frame cabin and am happy to get one of these
But if I order online I can’t make the video!
The X-Men is disappointing in height but still looks great. If I see it reduced then I'd consent buying it. New subscriber
Welcome! And yeah, if I didn't need it for content, I'd 100% be waiting for a discount.
Mansion just not quite there for me gardens is nice but feel both are 50 quid to much.
Both of them costing more than the Natural History Museum doesn't seem right.

Yeah, I’m frustrated as a big xmen fan!
Botanical garden is one of the best looking sets in a long time, unfortunately it runs at AUD$500 which i just cannot justify
I got the garden and the 2 free gifts today m x mansion is a rip off. It's so small only 12 studs wide. It's not worth the same price as the garden
Agreed. Marvel tax

They still have the smaller, cheaper sets aimed at kids. They’ve just added the bigger, more complex, more expensive adult stuff too.
“cool”
😢 not a star wars guy

Where did you place your big 1966 Batmobile?
Shame the poinsettia wasn’t on display for the Christmas sets. The botanical gardens look amazing, love the gift with purchase that comes with it.
I dont like the new Zelda set either. I love Zelda but they made it too childish imho.
Marvel meets Lego Friends ...in all fairness the Mansion looks like an overpriced Friends set
It’s not quite that basic, but it would definitely look out of place next to any of the modular buildings (that are all cheaper than it!)
The botanical garden set looks amazing. An easy pick up. However, the X-Men set is terrible. An easy pass.

Looking through the comments, you're definitely not the only one.
The X-men mansion is smaller than the botanical garden 😂
Such a fail on legos part
I guess they don't expect people to display them next to each other!
What is yur discord please
It’s in the description
