LEGO® Ideas E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Set Unveiled

In a delightful nod to the beloved film of the 1980s, LEGO Japan has announced the release of their latest product: the LEGO® Ideas E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial set. This charming set is set to launch on August 1, 2026, with pre-orders starting as early as July 3, 2026, on the official LEGO online store and select retail locations.

Officially designed based on concepts shared by LEGO fans, this unique set is aimed at adults who cherish creativity and nostalgia for iconic cinematic moments. As fans have often expressed, the likeness of E.T. captured in fine detail within this set will undoubtedly be appealing to enthusiasts of sci-fi films and collectors of memorabilia alike.

Features of the E.T. Set

The E.T. set boasts intricate features that allow builders to recreate some of the film's most memorable scenes. The set includes the ability to move E.T.'s iconic wrinkled head up and down or spin it around, along with adjustable mouth movements, arms, wrists, and fingers that enable users to mimic E.T. as he points to the sky and utters the famous phrase, “E.T. phone home.”

Adding to the charm, fans can utilize a special function where E.T. can be positioned with a pot in hand. When a button on his back is pressed, the heart area lights up red, allowing builders to reenact the touching moment in the film when E.T. brings a wilted flower back to life. The set invites users not only to construct but also to display the finished piece, offering a glimpse into the nostalgic world of 1980s cinema.
