With thousands of E.T. collectibles, some dating back to 1982, Nick Gjoka can proudly call himself the world’s biggest E.T. fan.
In 1982, when he was just 4 years old, Nick’s mother took him to see E.T. He doesn’t even remember that, but he does know that’s when he unboxed his first E.T. doll, at his grandfather’s house. He kept receiving all kinds of E.T. toys, and he would ask his parent’s to buy them whenever he saw them in stores, but it wasn’t until his teen years that he began putting together an actual collection.
Nick’s parents are both collectors, so he has always been familiar with garage and yard sales. At the age of 22 he was already looking on eBay, going to various sales and buying everything related to his favorite extraterrestrial. His friends and family realized his passion and started helping him in his quest of creating the world’s largest E.T. memorabilia collection.
In 2002, the re-release of the movie brought with it new E.T. collectibles that got Nick Gjoka interested in collecting. Later that year he visited Universal Studious, from where he returned with $300 worth of E.T. memorabilia. His collection grew two, maybe three times in only a few months time.
Nick Gjoka and his amazing collection were featured on VH1′s hit show Totally Obsessed, and he became known all around the US. Nowadays, Nick isn’t hunting for E.T. collectibles as he once did, because he hasn’t got the time or space anymore, but he says he’s always interested in new additions to his sizable collection.
Hello!
I have a piece of E T with the number 083020365 from Universal Studios. He can speak and light.
Please contact if you are interested in!
Thank you from Hungary!
I have a one-of-a-kind E.T. collectible.
In 1982 I was a student at the School of Cinema-Television at the University of Southern California. In June I was offered a choice of seing the premier of two movies, one of them being a new film by Steven Spielberg about a space alien.
That is how my girlfriend and I came to be in the audience of the world premier of “E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial” at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood on Thursday, June 10, 1982.
At the premier, everyone was handed a souvenir 10X12″ “lobby card” and souvenir oversized tickets.
After completing school, I returned to active duty with the U.S. Navy and found myself in the Republic of the Philippines where I took both lobby cards and one of the tickets and had them laminated onto a plaque. As it turned out, the ticket on the plaque was the one occupied by my former girlfriend, now deceased, named Diane Sharon Sarley.
Now almost 30 years old, the plaque has a few dings but I believe it is still highly collectible and thought I would give you first dibs. I can send you pictures if you’re interested.

Hey just saw your collection and I am a fan too and have alot of E.T. stuff, but one that no one will ever have. I have a life size of E.T. that my dad made me when I was just 5 years old. The only one that exists except the ones for the movie. Please respond willing to sell
I have a 5″ diameter pinback pin. E.T. is peeking out from behind the door.
Email me if you are interested.
I have a stuffed E.T. just like the one in your 1st photo. The one on the far right peering around the box with his right arm reaching out. Just curious to know what it might be worth. Your opinion would be appreciated!
hey my dad has a et ceramic statue money box just wondering what its worth he says only a few were ever made???
I have a rebate check that was issued by Pepsi to promote the sale of the movie on VCR in 1988. The rebate amount was $5.00 and the graphics show Elliott and ET on the bicycle with the moon in the background. Please let me know if you have this in your collection, I would be interested in what your investment was to aquire this piece.
I have two ET figures, both never taken out of box. I think they both talk. One ” you can mash is chest and it lights-up and his finger lights up and it talks. The second one is on a wood pedestal” both are no#. If interested please e-mail.
O.K. this one is kinda wierd, but I have an E.T. doll (I believe you have one like it in the top pic.) plastic, with a pull string, that says a few phrases. Only thing is… mine says “E.T. eat blood!” I was just wondering if yours said the same thing and what something like that would be worth. Please write back if you have any info as I have not been able to find anything like it.
I have a one of a kind E. T. Stained Glass. It is 22 1/2″ x 28″ and has one small crack in the neck region of ET. Is this something you might be interested in?
If so, please email me so I can send you a pic of it.
Thanks,
Angela
