So, LEGO has unveiled a new Marvel set for January 1, 2027, and I think it’s worth taking a closer look. Because with the LEGO Marvel 67005 Doctor Strange Supreme , we do get six pretty unusual Minifigures and plenty of references to *What If…? * and *Marvel Zombies*. But when I look at the building and the price of just under 100 euros, I’m not quite convinced yet.
And that’s exactly what makes this set interesting to me: The minifigures can be really great without the entire set automatically becoming a must-buy. Let’s take a look at what LEGO is actually offering here.
LEGO 67005 Doctor Strange Supreme: Key Details
- Set: 67005 Doctor Strange Supreme
- Release Date: January 1, 2027
- Suggested retail price: €99.99
- Pieces: 814
- Minifigures: 6
- Recommended age: 9 and up
- Dimensions: approximately 29 cm high, 19 cm wide, and 6 cm deep
The model features a narrow, multi-story version of the Sanctum Sanctorum. The back of the building is open, and inside there are small rooms and several movable portals. So, overall, it’s more of a playset or a compact display model than a large, fully enclosed modular building.
Here you’ll find a Price Comparison and, later on, price trends for the LEGO 67005.
Six Marvel minifigures—the real highlight for me
I think for many Marvel fans, the decision will depend mainly on the minifigures. Included are Strange Supreme, F.R.I.D.A.Y., Zombie Hunter Spider-Man, Red Queen, Zombie Namor, and Zombie Thor. The zombie versions and Strange Supreme in particular should be of interest to fans of the series.
I have to say: Personally, I thought *What If…?* was a wonderful series. I really enjoyed watching it. And the first Marvel minifigure series was actually the very first minifigure series I ever bought—simply because I thought the figures were so amazing. That’s exactly why I’m generally thrilled that LEGO is revisiting these slightly wackier Marvel versions.
But I also find it interesting that not every figure has to automatically appeal to everyone. Anyone who hasn’t seen *What If…? * or *Marvel Zombies* at all will probably not be very familiar with some of the characters. And there was already a different version of Zombie Hunter Spider-Man in the Marvel minifigure set 71031.
That means this set could be quite interesting for minifigure collectors. On the other hand, if you’re mainly looking to display a beautiful Sanctum Sanctorum on your shelf, you’ll need to take a closer look at the building.
Five small details that are easy to overlook
LEGO has hidden a few Easter eggs inside that are barely noticeable at first glance. I generally love little details like these because they make a set much more interesting for fans of the source material.
1. Two powerful spellbooks
In the library lie the Book of Cagliostro and the Book of Vishanti. Both are well-known magical artifacts from the Marvel Universe. The details are depicted using printed or decaled building elements.
2. The Watcher observes everything
Hidden behind one of the moving portals is a reference to the Watcher, who observes the various realities in *What If…?*. This, of course, fits perfectly with the multiverse theme.
3. A dark Strange reference
Further up in the building, there’s an image that appears to allude to Strange Supreme’s demonic transformation. However, I’d wait for the final details to be revealed before we definitively assign each motif to a specific scene.
4. A cure for the zombie plague
In the lower section, there’s a blue syringe that’s meant to represent the zombie cure. Anyone familiar with the corresponding Marvel story should understand the reference right away.
5. Throg, the Frog of Thunder
And then there really is a little green frog sitting there: Throg. A nice idea, even if this isn’t an elaborately designed original character. A more detailed version of Throg was already available as an accessory in the 71031 minifigure set.
Why the 99.99-euro building doesn’t win everyone over
So, now we’re getting to the point where I’m a bit torn myself. From the front, the Sanctum certainly looks interesting. But the model is only about six centimeters deep. When you look at the interior, some parts seem pretty cramped and plain.
That’s exactly what LEGO fans are discussing. While the minifigures are very popular, the narrow floors, the many stickers, and the rather sparse furnishings are viewed critically. Some people simply wish they could get more buildings for 100 euros.
And I can understand that criticism. Of course, not every Marvel set has to be a huge modular building. A smaller Sanctum might actually be just the right size for kids, for play, or for an existing LEGO City set. But at just under 100 euros, I do expect more than just the Minifigures to be impressive.
By comparison, the large Sanctum Sanctorum 76218 was in a completely different size class. The older Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown 76108, on the other hand, was also a playset, but had a different, wider design. The sets aren’t directly comparable—but they do show just how differently LEGO has already interpreted the building.
Would I pre-order the LEGO Doctor Strange Supreme set right away?
I’d only pre-order the set if there were a really interesting free gift with purchase (GWP) included at launch. Then, of course, you’d have to see if the deal is worth it. Without such a bonus, I’d be perfectly happy to wait, given the 99.99 euro MSRP. After all, the set is also supposed to hit regular retail stores—and we’ll likely see much better prices there over time.
As I always say: For a standard LEGO set, I aim for at least a 30 to 35 percent discount; it really starts to get interesting for me at 38 percent. With a MSRP of 99.99 euros , that would be about 69.99 euros at a 30 percent discount, 64.99 euros at a 35 percent discount, and 61.99 euros at a 38 percent discount. If you don’t absolutely need the figures on the first day, I think you can take your time and wait for a good deal here.
And as always, just because a set goes out of production at some point doesn’t automatically make it a good LEGO Investment.

My take: Great minifigures, but I would have liked more from the Sanctum
All in all, I find the idea behind the set quite exciting. The mix of “What If…?,” Marvel zombies, and the little hidden references really has something special. And for me, the six minifigures are definitely the strongest part.
But I also have to say: So far, the building hasn’t really blown me away for 100 euros. Maybe it looks better once it’s set up than it does in the first pictures. Maybe it’ll become really interesting with a decent discount. At the MSRP, it would only be worth considering for me if it came with a really attractive gift with purchase. Otherwise, I’d rather wait for a 30, 35, or—ideally—38 percent discount.
Now I’m curious to hear your thoughts: Are the six Minifigures reason enough for you to buy this set? Or do you think the Sanctum Sanctorum is simply too small and too plain for just under 100 euros? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
