As a lifelong X-Men fan, this display makes me both happy an super-jealous I often kick myself for not having gotten into ML until the past couple of years, and part of the reason is missing out on so many X-Men (not necessarily all the ones you have there, but a majority of them).

Incidentally, why's Adam Warlock in there? Am I just having a moment where I'm not remembering his association with the team?

Why...when word of this gets out...it'll...it'll be chaos in the streets! A real life purge! Chaos and anarchy...cats and dogs living together...real end of the world type stuff! What will become of our children in the midst of this madness? I'm sorry to do this to you Leopold...but to suggest that you've picked up Emma before the God of Mutantkind, it's blasphemous! I'm sorry good sir, but you've given me no choice. Fellow arkers, we are being led astray by this false monarchy...

Dude, if you ain't got extendo-leg 1991 Apocalypse, you can't call that collection even close to complete

It feels like everything that has come after the Asteroid M two parter took a major downgrade in every category. Sadly, this also includes Beyond Good and Evil, which wasn't as great as I remember it being. I still enjoyed it a lot, but it is no longer my favorite multi-parter of the series. I also don't like how they just randomly changed Magneto's voice in this and in the episode with Quicksilver and Witch. The new guy sounds terrible.

The Morlock Xmas episode was atrocious while the one with Wolverine in Japan felt mightily rushed. The one with Cyclops looking for his old teacher wasn't bad though. Fortunately, the majority of the episodes on the first disc to Volume 5 were better again, with "Bloodlines" being the best of them. I forgot Warlock had made an appearance in this show, and was that Phallanx two parter based on a comic story? I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure I read it shortly after X-Cutioner's Song. Or maybe I'm on crack. That was a pretty good one and it was nice to have the real voice of Magneto back. Although, it made no sense as to why he was suddenly depressed about Asteroid M despite randomly helping Apocalypse for no reason and having his children reject him. Not to mention Quicksilver goes up and hugs him at the end even though there was nothing to suggest they made up.

Anyway, only 8 episodes to go and I can't wait to watch the Mr Sinister origin story again. I just hope that one lives up to the memory I have of it compared to Beyond Good and Evil.

We don't talk smack about "Have Yourself A Morlock Little X-Mas" around these parts, son

But in all seriousness, a number of S4 episodes (and even a couple of S5 episodes!) were originally intended for Season 3, not to mention the haphazard order of a lot of the episodes, so the season as a whole ends up pretty filler-tastic and bounces back and forth in mood and quality, while they got around to finishing and releasing episodes meant for the previous season. Wikipedia's episode list includes the originally-intended ordering of the episodes, and as you can see, things from Season 3 onward got royally buggered.
