The X-Recordsdata was a popular culture juggernaut again within the heyday of the ‘90s, however ended with extra of a whimper than a bang with Season 11 below creator Chris Carter again in 2018. It appears unlikely at this level that the sequence will get one other revival with unique stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, however longtime followers are getting a deal with from none apart from LEGO. Due to the voters for a nostalgia contest, The X-Recordsdata is getting a fairly epic construct, and Anderson not solely celebrated the information, however truly referred to as it nearly precisely a decade in the past from this level within the 2025 TV schedule.
LEGO fan designer WetWired created the set that evidently might be often known as The X-Recordsdata: The Reality Is Out There, which went on to win the grand prize in LEGO’s “Construct Your Nostalgia – 90s Throwback!” competitors. The construct for the enduring sci-fi sequence was up towards designs for Jumanji (got here in second), Buffy the Vampire Slayer Library (third), Edward Scissorhands (fourth), and The Fifth Component Guide Nook and Playset (fifth).
The successful design is on two ranges: a backside stage recreation of the enduring X-Recordsdata workplace and a prime layer full with a UFO and gray alien. Figures embrace Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, Assistant Director Walter Skinner, Jersey Satan, Eugene Tooms, and Syndicate Chief. The Syndicate Chief appears to be the Cigarette-Smoking Man by a special title and lacking his Morley, but when an explosion that uncovered his cranium wasn’t sufficient to do away with CSM, going by a special title in a LEGO set can’t cease him!
In all seriousness, the Easter eggs are fairly pleasant. Eugene Tooms – a.ok.a. the liver-eating contortionist assassin who debuted in a standout Season 1 episode – is lurking behind a gap within the wall. There’s a duplicate of The Lone Gunman newspaper, Mulder’s unforgettable “I Need To Consider” poster, and the dynamic duo’s flashlights. The Skinner figurine even seems to be grouchy, which is an effective nod to each time he had purpose to go to Mulder’s workplace.
Coming in at greater than 2000 items and honoring a present that dominated within the ‘90s, I’d positively say this can be a set for adults. The truth is, millennials throughout the nation may need began saving up for the set as quickly because it was introduced. Whereas Gillian Anderson has usually been noncommittal at greatest about ever reprising her function as Scully after how Season 11 ended, she celebrated the successful LEGO set on X (previously often known as Twitter). Full with a UFO emoji, she wrote:
We’ve arrived!!!
It’s in fact nice to see the ‘90s icon celebrating the present that shot her to fame, however 2025 isn’t the primary time that she’s posted about Mulder and Scully getting the LEGO therapy. Be part of me on a blast to the previous and take a look at a submit from again in 2015:

Spooky, proper? On the entire, I get a kick out of the X-Recordsdata set successful the grand prize, and I desperately need to know the typical age of voters. The set is cool sufficient that I can think about individuals who aren’t consultants within the ‘90s to vote for it, however I think that there have been a good variety of people of their 30s and 40s who forged their votes. Grand Prize Winner WetWired will see their construct become a LEGO set and obtain 1% of the overall internet gross sales, ten complimentary copies of their set, and credit score and bio because the LEGO Fan Designer within the set supplies, per the problem data.
If the massive LEGO information places you within the temper to revisit some good old style ‘90s mysteries, homicide instances, and conspiracies, you’ll find all eleven seasons of The X-Recordsdata streaming with a Hulu subscription now, in addition to the 2 characteristic movies.
