Plus, you’ll likely recoup a good chunk of the cost of the set by selling the minifigures on.Ĭlick here to check out our full review of 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum, which is available now at for £214.99 / $249.99 / €249.99. You may not want to situate it directly next door to 10297 Boutique Hotel, if only for the sake of separating their similar colour schemes, but it works very well next to 10270 Bookshop, 10278 Police Station and even 10255 Assembly Square, 2017’s 10th-anniversary modular building that’s still going strong at .Īnd even if you’re not a Marvel fan, we reckon it’s worth grabbing 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum: you can strip away the more unusual details, like the large circular window on the top floor, with only a little modification and spare bricks and almost all of the decorated elements use stickers rather than prints, so you can leave those off where necessary to make it fit into your city. The architecture – while being based on a real-life building to a greater extent than any other in the theme – fits in nicely with the aesthetic of its contemporaries, and it scales well with them, too. That means your best bet for lining up with 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum with the rest of your modular buildings is at the end of a single shelf (or street), and in that capacity it looks really very good. It’s absolutely possible to place it the other way, as the images on this page demonstrate, but you’re going to be left with a gap from the corner building’s studded back alley. The building only extends to the farthest edge of its 32×32 baseplate on one side, which means you’re probably going to want to place it to the right of other sets (as you look at them). You could swap out the Sanctum’s black post for white, but it’s not a dealbreaker – after all, real-life lampposts aren’t necessarily all the same colour.įinally, arguably the biggest issue comes as a result of 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum’s relatively meagre footprint. The second sticking point is one that’s easily fixed, but also fine to leave as is: the lamppost in 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum is black, where the lampposts in every Modular Buildings Collection set are white. For the purposes of this shoot, we flipped the Captain America billboard round instead, offering a complete wall with minimal interference to the Sanctum’s interior.
All three of them are arguably capable of this to some degree, though it will take a bit of extra work to make Gargantos’s protruding tentacles sit comfortably inside the building.
