"The names Gambit, Mon Ami. Remember it." That is right, we are back with even more X-Men fun facts, history, and more as we continue our LEGO X-Mansion set. Not only are we starting the second building, but Gambit, aka Remy LeBeau, is making its first appearance in LEGO with this 3,093-piece set. Not many X-Men LEGO minifigures are out there, so most are exclusive to this set for the time being. As for Gambit in Marvel Comics, he first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #266 back in 1990, which was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Jim Lee.

Remy is a charming Louisiana-born thief, and with his X-Gene, he possesses the ability to charge objects with kinetic energy. This makes anything he touches an explosive weapon, which he has perfected with his own signature weapon, playing cards. Gambit has a morally gray past as a member of the Thieves' Guild and his connection to the big bad X-Men villain known as Mister Sinister. Over time, he has solidified himself as a loyal team member of the X-Men, following his heart for another member, Rogue. This miniature is surely loaded with some fun details, and he comes with his bow staff and a kinetic LEGO brick to show his cards in action. The X-Mansion build continues as we finish off the floor and start the building, which appears to be the Danger Room!

The Danger Room is a high-tech training facility in the X-Mansion where the X-Men can practice combat skills, test their powers, and prepare for real-life threats. The Danger Room is equipped with advanced technology, including holograms, a simulation environment, and robotic foes; and can be deadly if you're not careful. This is a must for this set and LEGO surely knew what they were doing with a set like this, which even features a sliding door. This part of the build ends with some fearful Easter Eggs showing the fear of mutant kind with a TV broadcast questioning the idea of Sentinels. The other is a Mutant Registration newspaper, which references the live-action X-Men Cinematic Universe! The last pieces featured here are a damaged part of the LEGO X-Mansion and hidden turrets on the ground, as seen in X-Men: The Animated Series. Up next, get ready for a bit of suga as Rogue is ready to crush some Sentinels and join her friends.
