Time to start an X-Files Lego campaign?! pic.twitter.com/w0Y07ynRPf

Gillian Anderson, it turns out, is a major Lego fan, so much so that she's spearheading a campaign to have X-Files immortalised in Lego form. The sci-fi icon took to Twitter last week to tell her followers that the time is right for an X-Files Lego set. This will come as no surprise to fans of Anderson, who revealed her love for all things Lego during a Reddit AMA in 2014.
As most Lego-heads already know, the toy manufacturer does occasionally produce sets based on fan submissions - so far, we've had play sets based on Back to the Future, Ghostbusters and Minecraft. In fact, Brent Waller, the man who pitched the Ghostbusters build, already tried to make an X-Files set. However, Lego shot down the idea, claiming the show's themes were too mature for it to be considered.
That seems pretty final, but with X-Files due to return to our screens next year and Gillian Anderson's support, who knows, perhaps Lego will rethink their position and give us the tiny plastic Mulder and Scully our hearts desire. I want to believe.
