LEGO Brings The X-Files to Life With New Fan-Designed Set

After months of anticipation, LEGO has revealed the winner of its "Build Your Nostalgia" competition—a stunning X-Files set designed by fan WetWired. This ambitious model, packed with 2,020 pieces and seven minifigures, will soon enter official development with the LEGO Ideas team before hitting shelves.

A Sci-Fi Classic in Brick Form

The winning design, titled The X-Files: The Truth Is Out There, brilliantly captures the show's eerie atmosphere. It features a dual-vignette structure—Mulder's iconic basement office beneath a mysterious UFO forest scene. If approved, this could become one of LEGO's most detailed TV-inspired sets yet.

Based on the legendary 90s sci-fi series, these figures represent FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), the conspiracy-driven believer, and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), his skeptical but loyal partner. Their investigations into the paranormal captivated audiences across 11 seasons and two feature films.

More LEGO Ideas Treasures

The X-Files originally aired from 1993 to 2002 before being revived for two more seasons in 2016 and 2018. It spawned two theatrical releases—1998's The X-Files and 2008's The X-Files: I Want to Believe—solidifying its status as a pop culture phenomenon.

LEGO also revealed another nostalgia-driven winner—"The Next Chapter," a charming Wallace & Gromit set by Pidelium. This was part of a separate "90s challenge" for smaller-scale designs, proving the decade continues to inspire incredible LEGO creations.
