LEGO IDEAS is a great open innovation program that encourages fans to come up with their own ideas for new LEGO sets and then share them with others.

In addition to building E.T. himself, the kit would come with parts and instructions for his communicator too!

Fans love this idea for a LEGO set and hundreds of supporters are voting for this kit.

But there's just one thing missing that would make this kit complete - a light on his finger!
