For me: my Lego November sets!

October was a big month for a lot of Lego lines, so it’s no surprise that November is historically the calm before the storm for the brickmaker. While fans eagerly await the annual sale and special sets arriving towards the end of the month, Lego tends to make new sets quite sparsely at first. And while there Are only two sets coming out this month, they are far from small ones.

Yes, November is defined by some pretty large amounts of Lego, which makes up for the spartan amount. We have a huge addition to the long-rumored Marvel line: long-awaited X-Mansionwhile the latest release from Lego Ideas invites you to take a moment and smell the roses with a beautifully decorated botanical garden that wouldn’t look out of place in anyone’s modular Lego City collection.

Check out more images and details below, including some bonus sets you can get with purchases this month!

We got a tiny throwback to Lego X-Men sets X Men ’97‘s X-Jet earlier this year, but now Marvel’s mutants are truly back in action with this nearly 3,100-piece replica of Charles Xavier’s Westchester school for gifted children.

Botanical Garden from Lego Ideas

The latest entry from Lego’s crowdsourced line of community-designed sets isn’t the usual Ideas fare of a splashy crossover with another major brand, but instead something entirely original and unique: a massive 3,800-piece botanical garden . Packed with brick-built plants and minifigures of gardeners and visitors (12 in total), the set was designed by Lego fan Valentina Bima and is a clever mix of ornate architecture and small, detailed representations of classic botanical plants. It would make a perfect focal point for any Lego city display: a nice patch of greenery, away from the tall buildings and bustling cityscape.

November Lego gift with purchase sets

While only two sets (and expensive ones at that) have been released so far this month (expect Lego to unveil its traditional Black Friday set soon with its own bonus gift set) buyers can get a few extra goodies if they purchase directly through Lego this month . . Running until November 11 (or while supplies last) is the Ideas Books Are My Passion Bonus Set, another fan-designed perk that can be earned by spending $130 on available sets.
