The truth is out there… and now, it’s in LEGO form. For fans of The X-Files, the iconic 90s series that blended science fiction, horror, and conspiracy theories into a cultural phenomenon, this isn’t just a toy; it’s a meticulously crafted tribute. This LEGO set isn’t about simple playtime; it’s about diving back into the shadowy world of Mulder and Scully, piece by piece. And even more exciting? This incredible build by Brent Waller has a chance to become an official LEGO Ideas set!
Remember the thrill of the monster-of-the-week episodes, the creeping dread of the overarching alien conspiracy, the constant push and pull between Mulder’s unwavering belief and Scully’s grounded skepticism? This LEGO vignette captures it all. Imagine a scene bathed in the eerie glow of a UFO hovering above a secluded forest clearing. Below, nestled in the cluttered chaos of Mulder’s basement office, the “I Want To Believe” poster serves as a silent testament to his unwavering quest for answers. The set design cleverly evokes the show’s atmosphere, from the dense foliage of the forest to the overflowing filing cabinets and outdated tech that define Mulder’s workspace.

This isn’t just a static display piece. With approximately 2020 pieces, the build itself is an immersive experience, a journey into the heart of The X-Files universe. Each brick, each carefully chosen detail, adds another layer to the mystery. And the included figures? They’re not just characters; they’re icons, ready to reenact classic scenes or embark on entirely new brick-built investigations. You’ll find Fox Mulder, the believer, driven by personal tragedy and a relentless pursuit of the truth, alongside Dana Scully, the skeptic, a medical doctor and FBI agent whose scientific mind is constantly challenged by the paranormal. A “Grey” Alien represents the extraterrestrial enigma at the core of the X-Files mythology, while the terrifying Jersey Devil, a creature of folklore, brings to life one of the show’s most memorable monster-of-the-week episodes. Walter Skinner, the stoic Assistant Director, is caught between bureaucratic duty and his respect for Mulder and Scully. A shadowy Syndicate Leader, a puppet master pulling strings from the shadows, adds to the intrigue. And finally, Eugene Tooms, the unsettling shape-shifter, serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most terrifying monsters are human.

But here’s the best part: this amazing X-Files build, designed by Brent Waller, could become an official LEGO Ideas set! It’s been selected for the first ’90s challenge on the LEGO Ideas platform and is currently in the crowd vote stage. This is a huge step, especially considering that LEGO previously rejected an X-Files set nearly a decade ago. The fact that it’s been chosen for the crowd vote means the LEGO Group now recognizes the potential of The X-Files within their portfolio. With enough votes, this dream build could become a reality, bringing the X-Files into the hands (and onto the shelves) of LEGO fans everywhere.

This X-Files LEGO set, or potentially official set if the crowd votes go its way, isn’t just for collectors; it’s for anyone who’s ever felt a shiver down their spine while watching Mulder and Scully chase the unexplained. It’s for those who believe, and those who desperately want to. It’s a chance to build the mystery, brick by brick, and perhaps, just perhaps, get a little closer to the truth. The truth is out there. And now, you can build it. So, get building, and don’t forget to vote!
