Ever wanted to actually meet E.T.? Perhaps the idea of meeting LGMs is your life goal. Well, we can't help you meet real martians, but we can offer a backyard spaceship playset you can build for you kids. Straight from a classic 1950s sci-fi movie, this 22x22 flying saucer playground attraction is in two words, totally awesome, and will give casual onlookers a real surprise, and the children who get to play with it the time of their life.
Consisting of three levels, central "tractor beam" access ladder, 360° top deck and a cool "B movie" aesthetic, your children's imagination will have a lot of help in their trip to the planet of little green men.
