My Honest Review of the LEGO Sanctum Sanctorum
As pleasing and aesthetic as this set was, it did have quite a few little things which bugged me a little. What I liked about this set was, it looks absolutely magnificent especially in sunlight. The majority of minifigures were very detailed. The build experience certainly wasn't my favorite but not doubt, it was fun.
There were just small things that the designer could have added such as stairs to the top floor and roof. I also thought that the grand staircase did conquer quite a bit of space. I would have appreciated if Wanda did have printing on her legs, Strange's hair could have been brown as it was in the movies and Wong looked a little more like he did in the films.

Very good, not great.
I’m loving that Lego is continuing a sub theme of Marvel specific modular builds. The build process of this was fairly straightforward and I appreciate that there were no multiple bags for any of the 18 stages. Mini figs included were good but could’ve had more (I mean this is a property with endless possibilities, even narrowing it down to Dr Strange movie appearances). The removable and customizable plates are a nice new feature but the inclusion of them in a corner build where they either face the back or alley way adjacent to a building in a larger city makes the display value suffer. With the recent insane inflation rates it’s a bit of a steep purchase to make but for Marvel or even modular fans it’s still a great addition to your collection.

Great Marvel, great modular - what's not to love?
If you're a Marvel fan, this is a tremendous set. It's a great model of the Sanctum, packed with fun Easter eggs, dense with details, and with some really fun options for play and display. Minifigs are not my thing personally, but the ones in here are fun and work well with the set.
If you're a modular fan, this is a tremendous set. It's a beautiful exterior display that - if you put the minifigs and the monsters away - blends in with the rest of the modular collection absolutely seamlessly. It even provides something that I feel my modular city is oddly lacking in: housing!
If you're a Marvel AND a modular fan, it's hard to imagine sets getting much better than this.

What a Delightful and Unique Set!
As someone who is re-discovering Legos, I have to admit, I was (at first) intimidated by the size of the box, number of manuals, and amount of bags of Legos at first. I have previously only built smaller sets alongside my siblings (who are Lego hobbyists). I could not resist a Dr. Strange set being a fan of the films, so I thought I'd try this out. I was very pleased with how the set built over time. I had very few struggles with assembly. The details in this set are absolutely delightful! I loved finding little unique surprises and references to the films along the way. Given my lack of experience and end result, I would definitely recommend this set to anyone who loves Dr. Strange memorabilia and Lego architectural builds. Super fun!

Phenomenal Set
I ordered this set right as it came out on august first and it arrived 4 days later. It took be about 9 hours to build and I was not disappointed. The set looks amazing next to the daily bugle and I love the new line of marvel Modulars. My one and only complaint are how the minifigures lack a little bit but besides that the set is great. I did add a few additions to some of them as you may notice in the attached pictures.
The outside of the sanctum is very beautiful with the sand green texture on the top floor and the tiles connecting right into the daily bugle but the interior is my favorite part. The top floor is dedicated to a whole bunch of cool relics and pieces which I find really interesting. I also love how to middle floor has cool details like the gargantos, the staircase, the bookshelf, and that cool door play feature with the different backgrounds. I also enjoy that portal design which leads to the time stone. I found interesting the idea of making the building a corner building. It makes it so it can include a lot more detail on the side and a cool edition to a lego city. I found the detail on this set amazing and the play features very cool. I recommend this set to any big marvel fan.

Great Build, Lacking Figs
This is an amazing build with great detail and easter eggs, no doubt. I had fun building as I do with most modular sets. Marvel Modular may be the best thing to happen to Marvel Lego. My main gripe....the figs. There aren't enough...(see Daily Bugle with 20+ figs, only like $100 more). I also feel like the figs provided could have been more exclusive, especially Wong and Doctor Strange. Figs they could've added....America Chavez, the Ancient One, Kaecilius, Thor, Loki, Bruce Banner, Cull Obsidian, Christine Palmer....maybe some spidey villains. Just feels like for this price point and given precedent, this should've been a 12-14 fig set.

Excellent
I really love this set. I’ve always been a fan of marvel but never got into marvel sets because none of them interested me. When i saw the multiverse of madness movie, i knew i had to have the set. For the most part i am satisfied, there are a few notes. This set has an unreasonable amount of stickers. Like 60ish. I really wish some of them were printed, especially the REALLY small ones. This set comes with some very nice minifigures. Love the dead strange, sinister strange, and mordo. It’s a bit of a shame that the regular dr strange is the same as other sets. I am uncertain if wong is any different but i am fine with him. Spiderman is fine, so is iron man. I have an issue with the wanda minifigure. It does not match the quality of the other minifigures in design and I honestly like the what if series wanta better. Ebony maw is a weird addition to this set but I’ll just let him chill under the stairs which for some reason houses a tesseract! One minifigure that frustrates me that is missing from this set is America Chavez. She was an important character in the movie so it feels weird to have iron man, ebony maw, and spiderman but not America.
Oh well, overall i love the set and have connected it to the botique hotel. I look forward to putting something between these sets in the future!

Excellent Christmas present
My daughter loves marvel and lego, she founds tons fascinating details in the process of building the set such as; the dark hold, time stone, doctoral degrees, Dacy dog walks, shawarma king, black widow, care home plate from Thor; Ragnarok, door that leads to other dimensions, monster on the side of the building, window in the attic and she loved the illusion of flight implemented into the build with Spiderman, Scarlet Witch and Iron man.
It took her several days to finish because the living room was so cold, where she was building but she hoped America Chavez would've made it into the set.
