E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (LEGO 21370)

About this set

This is LEGO Ideas 21370, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, a 1226-piece sci-fi set rated 5/5 for difficulty and built around a film character. The model uses a brick-built body for E.T., with large blue eyes, a glowing finger effect, a potted sunflower beside him, and posable arms. The box carries the LEGO logo, the E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL title and the 21370 number, and the color scheme runs through brown, blue, red, yellow, green and pink. When building, sort by bag and put the brown body structure together first, then work on the head and the layered blue eyes; leave the finger and arm assemblies until later so they don't take stress while you move the model, and build the sunflower as a separate small subassembly to place at the end. The 5/5 rating comes from the part count and the curved shaping, so splitting the build across a few sessions works better than rushing it. Dimensions and scale aren't listed, so measure your shelf before placing it. It suits fans of the film who want a character display piece, and intermediate builders used to step-by-step Ideas builds.
