Honestly, we’re not sure how this didn’t happen sooner, but here we are. Lego’s new “Back to the Future” DeLorean playset will hit shelves in a few weeks, and this trio lets you display the iconic time machine in whatever mode works for you. No, you won’t need the road, but you’ll have to build your own scale model of the Hill Valley Clock Tower if you’re going to recreate Doc Brown’s strategy session from the original movie.
“Universal, Amblin Entertainment andBack to the Future’ The filmmakers are thrilled to be collaborating with the LEGO team in creating this amazing kit,” said Bob Gale, co-writer and co-producer of the trilogy. “In the film, Doc Brown spent nearly 30 years and the entire family fortune building his Time Machine. Luckily, you’ll be able to build this LEGO model in significantly less time and for less money – although your finished version won’t be able to travel through time! ”
The 1,872-piece kit can be staged in all three of the movie’s hero modes: Roll, hover, and ready for a set of rails. It even comes with a mini skateboard, a “plutonium” container (35 years later, it’s still not available at every corner store; just sayin’) and a banana and tin can for Mr. Fusion. Lego relies heavily on BTTF theme it even held the model on plot at Universal Studios Hollywood in front of the iconic clock tower and created a short trailer titled “Brick to the Future” (above) to herald for the introduction of the series.
DeLorean “Back to the Future” Released in April first at an MSRP of $169.99.
