LEGO Ideas The X-Files: Scully’s Lab (40896) Sold Out on LEGO Shop

August 6, 2026 /

The LEGO Ideas The X-Files: Scully’s Lab (40896) gift with purchase promotion went on for a bit but it has officially gone out of stock on the LEGO Shop. It did fairly well considering the LEGO Ideas The X-Files (21369) has been on backorder status for a few days now. The US was also the last major country to sell out of the set as many other countries sold out days ago.

If you did miss out on it, you don’t have to worry about going to the secondary market just yet. The Disney Store is also currently having the promotion for the GWP. You’ll need a $130 of any item, not just LEGO, and use the code ACCESS at checkout to add it to your cart. A Disney Store account is needed and the promo will end on August 11, while supplies last.

LEGO Ideas The X-Files Scully’s Lab (40896) Promo at Disney Store

August 4, 2026 /

Although it is still available at the LEGO Shop, the Disney Store is also offering the LEGO Ideas The X-Files Scully’s Lab (40896) with purchases of $130. You can pretty much add any general item and have your cart have $130 or more, then use the code ACCESS during checkout to get it. The items do not have to be LEGO but the downside is that you don’t get any Insiders points towards the LEGO Shop. The offer ends on August 11, while supplies last.

August is now here and it is a huge LEGO release month on the LEGO Shop for various themes including the release of the LEGO Pokemon SMART Play sets.
