LEGO Ideas 21370 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Phones Home
LEGO has officially revealed 21370 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, a brand-new LEGO Ideas set that celebrates one of the most beloved movie characters of all time. Based on Steven Spielberg’s iconic 1982 film, the 1,226-piece model recreates E.T. in impressive detail, complete with his glowing heart, posable limbs, expressive features, and even his famous potted flowers.
For many adult fans, this set is more than just another display model—it’s a trip back to childhood. E.T. was a cultural phenomenon that captured the imagination of an entire generation, teaching audiences about friendship, kindness, and believing in the extraordinary. Whether you remember watching the movie in the cinema, on VHS, or during family movie nights, E.T. remains one of those rare characters that instantly brings back warm memories.
The LEGO model does a fantastic job of capturing the charm of the lovable alien, right down to his iconic glowing chest and outstretched finger as he tries to “phone home.” It’s the kind of set that will have many builders smiling before they even open the box.
For kids, E.T. is a chance to discover a classic movie icon. For adults, it’s a nostalgic reminder of a simpler time when a little alien from another world stole our hearts. Sets like 21370 show why LEGO Ideas continues to be such a successful theme—bringing beloved characters from our past back into our lives, one brick at a time.
““Be good” and display your love for E.T. with this posable figure. Lovingly recreate (almost) every wrinkle of the adorable alien. Angle his head up, down and rotate it 360 degrees. Point his forefinger to symbolize E.T.’s desire to “phone home.” Place the pot of sunflowers in his hands, just like the ones E.T brought back to life in the classic movie. And press the switch to make his heart glow.
