\nOfficial Images<\/p>\n

The images give you a closer look at the various areas of the LEGO X-Files set. Underground is Mulder\u2019s office, packed with references to different episodes of the series. One well-known example is the \u201cI Want to Believe\u201d poster.<\/p>\n

Above the office lies the forest, represented by five conifers, through which the minifigures can prowl in search of answers to their questions. This level is removable to make it easier to reach the office below.<\/p>\n

The transparent stand lets you have the black UFO fly above the scene and recreate an abduction.<\/p>\n

Comparison with the LEGO Ideas Submission<\/p>\n

As with all LEGO Ideas sets, the official set now launching in August traces back to a fan submission, created there by user WetWired for the 90s Nostalgia Challenge. During the finalization process, the layout was kept exactly the same, with the office underground and the UFO hovering above the firs. The footprint has become a bit smaller overall, but no details were lost in the process \u2013 the office is just more densely packed now.<\/p>\n
