The set will contain 1,226 pieces and measure 24cm in height (plus 21cm in width and 15cm in depth). This means the figure is almost exactly quarter scale, with the real E.T. roughly 1m tall.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As you&#8217;d expect, you can pose your E.T. model&#8217;s head and hands to recreate his iconic &#8220;phone home&#8221; pose. Other details include a buildable pot plant of sunflowers, and a light-up brick in his chest to illuminate E.T.&#8217;s heart in red. (You cannot, sadly, make E.T.&#8217;s finger light up, however.)<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">LEGO E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Set Images<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"LEGO E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial set images.\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">LEGO&#8217;s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial set will be the latest LEGO Ideas creation to see release. This is the range of fan-submitted ideas for future sets that are then voted upon by the wider LEGO fan community.

Various plans for a sequel were discussed over the years, and Thomas eventually reunited with his alien puppet in 2019 for a Christmas-themed short film, A Holiday Reunion, which was actually a long commercial for Xfinity. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Will you welcome E.T. back into your home this year?<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
