"Elliott!" That's right, get ready to return to the 1980s as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial arrives in brick-built form with a brand-new LEGO Ideas release. While fans previously received a small E.T. minifigure through the LEGO Dimensions video game, LEGO is now taking things to the next level with an impressive display model dedicated to one of cinema's most beloved aliens. Featuring 1,226 pieces, LEGO Ideas E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (21370) recreates the iconic character in a detailed brick-built format. Once completed, the model stands over 9.5 inches tall, 8.5 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, making it a standout display piece for fans of the classic 1982 film.

LEGO has faithfully captured E.T.'s unforgettable appearance while incorporating a variety of articulated elements. Collectors can adjust his head up and down, rotate it 360 degrees, open and close his mouth, position his arms and wrists, and even move his fingers to create different display poses. His signature pointing finger is also included, recreating one of the character's most memorable gestures. Fans can even recreate the classic moment of E.T. holding a pot of sunflowers, while a switch on the back of the model activates a light brick that makes his heart glow. Pre-orders are already available through the LEGO Store for $139.99, with LEGO Ideas E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (21370) scheduled to ship on August 1, 2026.
