This X-Files set is the latest from the LEGO Ideas line of collectibles and features iconic scenes from the TV series along with eight unique minifigures.

LEGO has been on a roll with nostalgic sets based on movies and TV shows lately. Prior to the reveal of the LEGO X-Files set, LEGO has produced sets based on IPs like E.T., Jaws, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for builders to add to their collection. Now, The X-Files joins these LEGO sets aimed at older collectors as the latest in the line of sets themed after classic film franchises.

The X-Files LEGO set was officially revealed via a special promo video on X, which features Gillian Anderson, known for playing Dana Scully in the TV series, receiving a mysterious box containing the pieces to this LEGO set. After assembling the set, it's revealed to be a three-tiered build, with the bottom replicating Fox Mulder's office, a forest scene with an alien arrival on the next layer, and a triangular UFO sitting above them. Fans who purchase this set from the LEGO website can also grab The X-Files: Scully's Lab bonus set as a free gift with purchase.

Guess the game from the emojis.There are also plenty of Easter eggs hidden around the LEGO set for X-Files fans to discover. From the iconic "I want to believe" poster hanging in Mulder's office to the Mulder minifigure featuring the character's sunflower seed snack, the quirky, fan-favorite elements of David Duchovny's character are brought to life alongside Gillian Anderson's Scully in this LEGO set. There are a total of eight LEGO minifigures included with this X-Files set:
- Fox Mulder
- Dana Scully
- Walter Skinner
- Mr. X
- Alex Krycek
- Carl Busch
- The Flukeman
- Grey Alien
LEGO fans who are able to snag the set's free gift with purchase can also get another unique Scully minifigure. The X-Files: Scully's Lab is another 221-piece set based on Dana Scully's medical examination lab from the show, which nicely complements Mulder's office featured in the main X-Files LEGO set.
Fans of the X-Files have more than just this LEGO set to look forward to in the near future. Sinners and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler is currently developing an X-Files reboot with Danielle Deadwyler and Hamish Patel playing new characters, not reimaginings of Mulder and Scully. The pilot has reportedly wrapped filming, but the series hasn't been confirmed for a full season yet, and a release date hasn't been shared. However, the good news is that X-Files fans still have a lot to look forward to in the coming months with this new LEGO set releasing alongside a bonus free gift set for a double dose of 90s paranormal nostalgia.
