Description

A location from a cult series

The X-Files is one of the best-known mystery series of the 1990s, and Scully's lab is one of its iconic settings. The set recreates lab equipment such as a microscope, samples and shelving in miniature form, with detailing that nods to the show's blend of science and mystery. Checking the full parts list on this page makes it easy to see how the different colours and shapes come together in the finished model. The finished model can then be placed flexibly on a shelf or desk, regardless of whether other sets from the same range are already on display.

Colours and parts

Dark Bluish Gray, Black, Light Bluish Gray and Trans-Clear give it the cool, clinical feel of a laboratory. Of the 221 pieces, 88 are unique parts and colours, a high level of detail for the set's compact size, visible in the parts list on this page. The transparent pieces in particular stand in for lab glassware and sample containers. For collectors who already own similar sets, the combination of theme and piece count is a fairly natural reason to add this one to the shelf.

One minifigure as the lead character

One minifigure comes with the set, presumably Dana Scully herself, and fits into the lab scene, giving the model play value beyond the build itself. For fans of the show, this figure is likely the set's central draw. The build itself offers enough variety to keep even an experienced builder engaged for a short session, without feeling overly complicated.

For fans of the series

As a small Ideas set, 40896 displays well alongside other licensed TV sets and should appeal mainly to X-Files fans after a compact scene from the show. The modest piece count makes it a comfortable single-evening build. Compared with other sets of similar size, it's clear how much detail has been packed into a fairly limited piece count.
