The LEGO Group teams up with Gillian Anderson to unveil LEGO Ideas The X-Files set

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.

The build is rich in authentic detail, including the “The Truth is Out There” tile, an “I Want to Believe” poster, an X-Files dossier, a nod to his sunflower seed habit, and pencils in the ceiling of Mulder’s office.
The set also offers versatile display options. The forest diorama can be showcased on its own, while Mulder’s office can be opened or partially disassembled to reveal interior details. The UFO is mounted on a transparent stand, creating the illusion that is hovering above the forest, but it can also be removed from alternative display arrangements, as a striking dual-display presentation.
The LEGO Ideas The X-Files set was submitted as part of the LEGO Ideas ’90s Nostalgia Challenge by Brisbane-based 3D Artist and Fan Designer Brent Waller (LEGO Ideas name: wetwired). LEGO Ideas invites fans to submit product ideas, which are then voted on by the community before being considered for production as official LEGO sets.
