LEGO 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum (2022) revealed: a LEGO Marvel modular!

June 19, 2022 | 3

LEGO have officially unveiled the 2022 version of Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum – 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum, coming to you in August 2022!

This 2,708 piece set will be the most detailed Sanctum Sanctorum set yet, dwarfing the 2019 version, which only had half a facade. 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum takes inspiration from LEGO’s Modular Buildings range, and feature floors that you can separate, as well as likely compatibility with other modulars buildings as it’s a fully-fledged structure.

The set will retail for US$249.99 / €249.99 and will be available from LEGO.com on 1 August 2022.

The set comes with a very respectable 9 minifigures – Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Spider-Man, The Scarlet Witch, Wong, Ebony Maw, Sinister Strange, Dead Strange and Master Mordo.

• 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum [AUS]  – AU$379.99
• 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum [UK] – £214.99

The top story houses the museum of mystical collections, the middle section contains the library and at ground-level there are familiar features both inside and out.

Here’s a closer look at the minifigures featured on the box art

The minifigures are a bit of a mixed bag. I LOVE Spider-Man’s new suit, which has detailed leg and arm printing, in his “Stark suit”, which will please a lot of fans.

Ebony Maw has a much better face, but like Wong & Scarlet Witch, they both don’t have leg printing, which is honestly quite shocking for a set that’s priced at US$249.99.

If they can have incredibly detailed leg printing on the minifigure from the Marvel Studios Minifigures Series, it’s inexcusable that she just has plain black legs here. I understand that in the movie, she is wearing black pants, but some additional fabric detail would’ve been nice.

The building also features Gargantos (aka Shuma Gorath), attacking it, which is a nice tie-in to the Multiverse of Madness Movie. I haven’t watched the movie yet… so I can’t really tell if the scenes are movie-accurate.

There are some cool features hidden inside, with plenty of references and Easter Eggs – I particularly like the poster featuring The Ancient One in the attic.

That said, I really like this, and for fans who have been wanting a highly detailed Sanctum Sanctorum, they’ll get their wish now, and with the printed glass dome details, there’s a lot to like here.

Modular fans will especially enjoy how 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum is essentially a pseudo-modular, and this should be really fun and easy to integrate into your modular building street.

76218 Sanctum Sanctorum will be released on 1 August 2022, and will be available from LEGO.com or your local LEGO store.

Look out for an early review of the set in the coming weeks!
