LEGO® Set 40896 Scully’s Lab

2026-08-11 | Mark

Scully: Seriously LEGO, you call this a lab? I have a list of complaints that someone needs to address ASAP! Scully: Exactly who thought it was a great idea for me to lose lab space so they could devote all this space to a fly tile? Scully: The architect who decided to place a door at chest level ought to have his head examined. I’m five-foot-three. I’s supposed to oomph myself up and into the room and try not to fall down the stairs on the otehr side? How the hell do I get alien bodies on gurneys into the room for autopsies? Scully: This door handle is not ADA compliant. Scully: What’s this red tile here supposed to be? Star Trek Red Alert? Defocn 5? You couldn’t spring for a 2x2 tile with a clock face? Scully: I have to stand on the countertop to reach these cabinets and they do not have opening doors. Hey, LEGO, why couldn’t I have clear glass parts with nubbins on one side only? You know? Then the damn cabinets would be useful. Scully: What’s with this monocular microscope? It’s like something out of a 1970’s high school. You managed to give the vet in set 60307 a binocular microscope. Scully: How do I use it? I’m standing and the eyepiece is above my head. And you put it next to a window?! Scully: And this doughnut is just egregiously wrong. You never have food in the lab. It could contaminate something or something could contaminate it. Carelessness like this is how we wnd up with flukemen, you know. Scully: I get one measly glorified Luxo Lamp over the autopsy table to examine, I guess, the invisible guy from the Djinn episode. Scully: All of this equipment and you don’t think to provide me with a syringe? Just how am I supposed to take a blood sample from the invisible guy on the table? Scully: The place is littered with Mr. Tang’s used rice bowls. Oh, hello, Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang: I’m having trouble eating blancmange with chopsticks. Any suggestions? Scully: Here, Have a doughnut. Mr. Tang: Thank you. Scully: Told you so.

Thanks to LEGO for providing the set.
