LEGO set officially announced

The X-Files LEGO set officially announced, finally after over ten years of efforts by fan WetWired, and it is beautiful! The announcement comes with a very nice promotional video where Gillian Anderson discovers the set, in-character as Scully!

global release: August 1st
1478 pieces
plenty of inside jokes and details (there’s a puddle of Black Oil for example)
figurines of Scully, Mulder, grey alien, Flukeman, Skinner, CSM (as “Carl Busch” in the description, and only hardcore fans will recognize the name! I guess because the word cigarette cannot be mentioned, and indeed he doesn’t have a cigarette), Krycek, and Mr. X
200 $ or € (expensive hobby!)
Scully’s Lab as extra gift with puchase (while stocks are available, which means just a few days)

TXF-themed set in LEGO Ideas competition

**VOTE BEFORE 21 Feb**

This Lego set based on The X-Files is very, very cool, filled with in-jokes, is made up of 2000+ pieces, and it has a high chance of being officially commercialized, if fans vote for it. And if rights issues get resolved — but Lego already produces Disney-licensed products.

Lego takes ideas for certain new sets among submissions. This creator, Brent Waller / WetWired, submitted a TXF-themed set to Lego before (set, promo video, on the set of the revival with Duchovny & Anderson). But at the time Lego did not choose it, justifying this by saying it was considered too violent and not on-brand for the company. Times have changed, and now this updated set is up against just four other submissions in a specifically 90s-themed competition.

Now, I’m not much of a fan of “collectibles” — Funko Pops, figurines, and other creative ways capitalism consumes more plastic — but… I *am* partial to Legos! I mean look at it!
