The LEGO Group, in collaboration with Disney Entertainment, today unveils the LEGO Ideas The X-Files (21369) set, a 1,478-piece model that invites adult fans to celebrate the iconic ‘90s sci-fi drama.
To mark the reveal, Emmy Award-winning actor, Gillian Anderson, stars in a cinematic mini-film tribute to the beloved series. With a nod to FBI Special Agent Dana Scully, Anderson is drawn into an investigation that gradually leads her to uncover the LEGO set itself, piece by piece – bringing the world of The X-Files into brick-built form for the fans.
The LEGO Ideas The X-Files set recreates iconic moments from the series, centred on a detailed build of Fox Mulder’s office, paired with a forest clearing scene and a hovering UFO. The set includes 8 Minifigures: Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, Walter Skinner, Mr. X, Alex Krycek, Carl Busch, The Flukeman and a grey alien, allowing fans to recreate key investigations and encounters.
Anderson comments: “I didn’t expect to be stepping back into Scully’s heels to investigate a LEGO set… 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. The level of detail is brilliant - there are so many little nods that fans will absolutely recognise - and as a LEGO fan myself, I love that people can now quite literally build their own X-Files moments at home.”
LEGO Ideas The X-Files is available from LEGO AU, CA, UK and US (affiliate links).

I am super excited for this set! My wife and I are huge X-Files fans and this set looks quite fun to build and seems like it'll be a fantastic display piece. When I saw the leak photos yesterday my wife said " It better have pencils stuck in the ceiling tiles."
ReplyDeleteIt actually does! The little pencils are pins stuck into the ceiling!
That's amazing that Gillian Anderson is involved with the reveal.
The X-Files captured the zeitgeist as we approached the new millennium! I was hooked and, like you, can't wait for this new set!
