The Designer Video is a little different compared to previous ones as it’s hosted by Ali Plum. Talking to LEGO Designer Sven Franic about transforming such an iconic vehicle into a buildable LEGO set.

Exploring how the movie inspired car can be changed into three different versions from BTTF, BTTF2, and BTTF3. Watch the video below and let us know what you think via the comments section.

The set consists of 1,872 pieces and includes a plethora of brick-built accessories such as Marty McFly’s Hoverboard, a box of Plutonium, a light brick powered Flux Capacitor and more.

You could technically class this as a 3 in 1 set as you can choose which Delorean model to build from either of the three movies.

Just like other LEGO vehicles of this size and calibre you get two Minifigures and a small display plinth and a stickered plaque.

It will release on 1st April and retail £149.99 ($169.99 – €169.99 – $269.99 AUD – $219.99 CAD).

Head down to the comments and let us know your thoughts on this set and whether you’ll be picking this up one day one?!

LEGO® BACK TO THE FUTURE TIME MACHINE – PRESS RELEASE

GREAT SCOTT! WE’RE GOING “BRICK TO THE FUTURE!”

Embark on a time-travelling adventure with the new LEGO® Back to the Future Time Machine.

Billund, 17 March, 2022: 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.

“Universal, Amblin Entertainment and the Back to the Future filmmakers are delighted to have partnered with the LEGO team in the creation of this fantastic kit,” said Bob Gale, co-writer and co-producer of the trilogy. “In the movie, Doc Brown spent almost 30 years and his entire family fortune to build his Time Machine. Fortunately, you’ll be able to build this LEGO model in significantly less time and with far less expense – although your completed version will be unable to travel through time!”

To celebrate the launch, the LEGO Group are taking Doc and Marty back on one more mission in the new “Brick to the Future” animated short. Premiering on https://lego.com/bttf today, the adventure sees the intrepid LEGO minifigure duo race through time to try and retrieve the lost Flux Capacitor.

In addition, the LEGO Group went back to where it all started – the famous Backlot at Universal Studios in Hollywood, where Back to the Future was filmed, to capture the three LEGO models alongside the original DeLorean Time Machine as seen in the films.

“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,” said Joe Lawandus, senior vice president and general manager, global toys and hardlines for Universal Brand Development.

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.

Sven Franic, LEGO Set Designer commented: “Since its release in the 1985, Back to the Future continues to be a cult film and a favourite for generations of fans all over the world – including myself. I had so much fun reliving my favourite moments from all three films on this exciting and nostalgic design adventure.

“The shared timelessness of LEGO bricks and the Back to the Future franchise is something we really wanted to capture for this set, so we hope fans will enjoy racing through time in LEGO style.”

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 and on https://lego.com/bttf from 1st April 2022.

• Features three distinct building options: choose which car from the Back to the Future films you want to build first; rebuild to create the other versions (all three versions cannot be built simultaneously from the single set)
• Set features Doc Brown and Marty McFly incarnated as LEGO minifigures
• Faithfully recreated details from the three films include: tires that fold down for flight mode, the iconic light-up flux capacitor, printed dashboard dates, opening gull-wing doors and hood, and a variety of other Easter eggs like Marty’s hoverboard and swappable license plates
• Features windscreen and shaping element for the front of the DeLorean which are new to LEGO.

Two Minifigures are rumoured to be included, but as yet are unconfirmed. We are really hoping for Doc Brown in his Yellow Coat and Marty in his futuristic clothing including his shiny cap.

It will however include some awesome brick-built accessories such as a Hoverboard and a brick-lit Flux-Capacitor. Other features of the set will include the iconic gull-winged doors that open up-wards., and the wheels can be positioned either in drive or hover mode.

You’ll have the choice of which version to build too, either the original nuclear containment unit (BTTF1) or the Mr. Fusion version from (BTTF2).

I particularly like it when LEGO make an effort and if this set is going to be anything like the rumours we’ve been hearing then it won’t disappoint!

Thanks to Promobricks for the heads up and additional information. 

With the success of the recent  LEGO 1989 Batmobile (76139) and Batwing (76161) and LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (10274) sets it makes sense to continue the trend and bring us more classic 80s vehicles! 

The model will be a large scale Delorean from the hugely popular Back to the Future franchise and expected to release in September this Year with a speculated price tag of $129.99 (USD). 

LEGO Ideas Back To The Future (21103)

The previous LEGO set to feature the BTTF Delorean was produced almost seven Years ago and was part of the LEGO Ideas theme. It had the capability to be modded to suit each of the Deloreans featured throughout all three movies. I hope LEGO take note and include this really cool build feature in this rumoured set!

Scouring the Internet for custom built Deloreans which would give us a rough idea of what to expect I came across this stunning build by Yeeecai LEGO Design.

LEGO still has IP rights for the Back to the Future series and a whole host of other franchises too so producing cool retro vehicles has always been on the cards and pretty much inevitable. Other cars I’ve love to see are A-Team Van, KITT, Blues Brothers, Chitty Chitty Bang-bang, and many more.

Bigs thanks to Brick Clicker for the heads up and information.

As always please treat this information as rumour until either confirmed or denied by the powers that be. Don’t forget to let us know what you think and what you’d love to see from a LEGO Back to the Future Delorean in the comments below.
