Move over, Grogu, Lego’s new set recreates my first alien obsession.

As cute as baby Yoda may be, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was released when I was just an impressionable little boy so Lego’s new 1,226-piece Ideas set has me feeling nostalgic. Launching on August 1st for $139.99, Lego’s E.T. has a moving head and limbs while pushing a button makes the alien’s chest glow red.
