A brand new Back to the Future LEGO DeLorean set is coming which includes a three-in-one reproduction of one of the most iconic movie vehicles of all time. We bring you our very own Back to the Future LEGO DeLorean set review.
Inspired by the DeLorean car seen in the time-travelling adventure film franchise, the LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine set allows builders to create the car from either the first, second or third movie.
The set comes complete with a light-up flux capacitor, a box of plutonium, Marty’s hoverboard and LEGO minifigure versions of Doc Brown and Marty McFly!
What’s more, those who want to be amongst the first to get their hands on the LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine can go ‘Back to the Future’ at a special themed event taking place at the LEGO Store Leicester Square on 1st April.
BTTF fans will get the chance to pose for a photo with a real-life DeLorean outside the store, as well as star on their own iconic Back to the Future movie poster and capture a photo print out to share with friends.
There will even be an opportunity for some lucky fans to meet LEGO designer Sven Franic and have their set signed.
Inspiring fans to fire up their brick building engines, the LEGO Group and Universal Brand Development have revealed a brand new three-in-one reproduction of one of the most iconic movie vehicles of all time – the LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine.
Inspired by the DeLorean car seen in the time traveling adventure film franchise from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, the LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine set allows builders to create the car from either the first, second or third movie.
What’s more, it comes complete with a light-up flux capacitor, a box of plutonium, Marty’s hoverboard and LEGO minifigure versions of Doc Brown and Marty McFly.
Joe Lawandus, senior vice president and general manager, global toys and hardlines for Universal Brand Development said:
“This has been an incredibly exciting project to collaborate with the LEGO Group on – from Easter eggs that nod to each of the three Back to the Future films, to iconic elements from the DeLorean Time Machine like Mr. Fusion, to making Doc Brown and Marty McFly into mini figures – the fans are going to love going back in time with this LEGO set,”
Proving that if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. Our brick builders will have to choose which Back to the Future Time Machine they want to create first, as each build requires elements from the full set.
Faithfully recreated details from the film trilogy include wheels that fold down for flight mode, the iconic light-up flux capacitor, printed dashboard dates, opening gull-wing doors and hood and many more Easter eggs including Marty’s hoverboard and swappable license plates.
The set even comes with a banana and tin can, to power the Mr. Fusion device as seen on the vehicle at the end of the first movie.
Back to the Future LEGO DeLorean Set Review
With easy to navigate instructions and bags clearly labelled 1-11 you’re sure to find this DeLorean build fun and easy.
I did however have a few bricks in a different bag than they were supposed to which rarely happens but just keep an eye on that before freaking out and messaging LEGO about missing bricks.
The model is beautiful and towards the end of the rather chunky building manual, there is a choice you must make. You can choose to make the car from the first movie, the second movie or the third movie.
It’s a tough decision but fear not, there aren’t many additional pieces to add to jump between the three movies. A quick number plate change, wheel change and some features around the back of the car and on the bonnet and you’re ready to time travel in no time!
I thoroughly enjoyed building the set and the car looks stunning, much better than the last version of the DeLorean that LEGO released and the flux capacitor lighting up is a great little touch. GREAT SCOTT! This thing is beautiful.
The new LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine set is available for the recommended retail price of £149.99 / $169.99 / €169.99 at LEGO stores from 1st April 2022.
