LEGO Confirms X-Files Set Based on 90s Contest

Several months ago, LEGO Ideas invited fans to submit designs celebrating 1990s nostalgia. The winning entry for the "Build Your Nostalgia" challenge has just been revealed: an ambitious set based on the iconic sci-fi series The X-Files. The selected design will now undergo development with the LEGO Ideas team, with potential refinements before its eventual release as an official set.

The winning entry, titled "The X-Files: The Truth Is Out There," was created by designer WetWired. This dual-vignette set features a forest UFO encounter scene above Mulder's iconic basement office below. The current prototype comprises approximately 2,020 pieces and includes seven detailed minifigures.
