A few months ago, LEGO Ideas invited fans to submit their own designs for sets that celebrate the 1990s. The winner of the "Build Your Nostalgia" contest has now been revealed: a large, ambitiously detailed model inspired by the beloved sci-fi series The X-Files. This winning design will now move into development with the LEGO Ideas team, where it will likely undergo some refinements before becoming an official set, expected to launch at a future date.
An Official X-Files LEGO Set Is Coming
Named The X-Files: The Truth Is Out There, this set was designed by a creator known as WetWired. It features a dual-vignette layout, with a forest UFO scene on the top level and Mulder's iconic basement office below. The proposed set consists of approximately 2,020 pieces and comes with seven distinct minifigures.

The set is based on the sci-fi television phenomenon The X-Files, which follows the paranormal investigations of two FBI agents: Fox Mulder (portrayed by David Duchovny), a firm believer in the unexplained, and Dana Scully (played by Gillian Anderson), a grounded skeptic.
