\"Details<\/p>\n

Pop culture is experiencing a wave of 90s nostalgia. And to those who lived through this era, few things brought as much excitement and entertainment as The X-Files. The beloved series ran from 1993 through 2002, becoming a global sensation for its unique blend of science fiction, mystery, and suspense. To honor this legendary TV show, LEGO has announced The X-Files set<\/a>, which is packed with details that fans will surely love.<\/p>\n

Made up of 1,487 pieces, the set recreates the office of Fox Mulder, a role originated by David Duchovny; a forest scene; and a hovering UFO. But what truly immerses you in the the world of this show are the Easter eggs, including a \u201cThe Truth is Out There\u201d tile, an \u201cI Want to Believe\u201d poster, an X-Files dossier, Mulder\u2019s sunflower seeds, and even the pencils he\u2019s flung into the ceiling of his office.<\/p>\n

The set also comes with eight minifigures, including Dana Scully, played by Gillian Anderson; Mulder; Walter Skinner; Mr. X; Alex Krycek; Carl Busch; The Flukeman; and a gray alien, allowing fans to recreate all their favorite episodes. Builders can also choose how to display their set. Mulder\u2019s office can be opened or partially disassembled to reveal interior details, while the forest diorama can be showcased on its own or on top of the office\u2014complete with a UFO hovering above the trees, thanks to its transparent stand.<\/p>\n

LEGO\u2019s The X-Files set is based on a submission by Brisbane-based 3D artist and fan designer Brent Waller<\/a>, who uploaded his idea to the LEGO Ideas platform. There, lovers of these construction toys can share their own creations and, with enough votes, they can get reviewed by LEGO designers in the hopes of becoming an official set. Waller\u2019s The X-Files design was part of the\u00a0 LEGO Ideas \u201990s Nostalgia Challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was obsessed with\u202fThe X-Files\u202ffrom the moment I first saw it in the \u201990s,\u201d Waller admits<\/a>. \u201cI originally built Mulder\u2019s office back in 2014 while rewatching the series, and it grew from there as a personal project. I wanted to combine nostalgia, detail, and storytelling to capture the atmosphere of the show\u2014from Mulder\u2019s office to the forest and UFO encounter. I\u2019m thrilled to see it become an official LEGO set and hope it resonates with both long-time fans and new audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

To announce this set, LEGO summoned Anderson herself, who appears in a short film<\/a> where Scully gets back to business. \u201cI didn\u2019t expect to be stepping back into Scully\u2019s heels to investigate a LEGO set\u2026 it has been so much fun revisiting that world all these years later,\u201d said the actor. \u201cThis set is a wonderful celebration of The X-Files, and the fans who have kept its mystery alive. The level of detail is brilliant\u2014there are so many little nods that fans will absolutely recognize\u2014and as a LEGO fan myself, I love that people can now quite literally build their own X-Files moments at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The set will go on sale on August 1 for those with Early Access and on August 4 for the general public. If you order before August 10, you will also receive the LEGO Ideas The X-Files: Scully\u2019s Lab as a gift while stocks last. To order yours, visit LEGO\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
