After winning a grand prize on the Lego Ideas site earlier this year, The X-Files set from fan designer WetWired will soon be available to buy.
There have been a few tweaks to the design, but the Lego Ideas The X-Files set is remarkably close to the original submission. And it's a must-buy for collectors and sci-fi fans.
Lego has even enlisted the help of Dana Scully herself – Gillian Anderson – to launch the new set in a teaser video. She reprises the role from the show, while her minifigure is one of eight you get in the box.
She's joined, of course, by Fox Mulder, Walter Skinner, Mr. X, Alex Krycek, Carl Busch, The Flukeman and a grey alien. It makes me want to head back to watch all 11 seasons again (and the movies – well, the first one anyway).
They're all available on Disney+ to stream.
Back to the Lego set and you get 1,478 pieces to build a recreation of Mulder's office sitting underneath a forest scene, while a UFO hovers over head. Those who order the set on its initial release – between 1 and 10 August – will also get the Lego Ideas The X-Files: Scully's Lab for free.
The main set will first be available to Lego Insiders on early access, which starts on 1 August. General orders will then be accepted on the Lego Store from 4 August.
It will be priced at £179.99 / €199.99 / $199.99.
"I didn’t expect to be stepping back into Scully’s heels to investigate a Lego set," said Gillian Anderson. "It has been so much fun revisiting that world all these years later.
"This set is a wonderful celebration of the X-Files, and the fans who have kept its mystery alive."
