LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine Coming!

Inspiring fans to fire up their brick building engines, the LEGO Group and Universal Brand Development have revealed today a brand new three-in-one reproduction of one of the most iconic movie vehicles of all time – the #10300 LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine.

From the Academy Award-winning filmmakers Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg comes Back to the Future – the original, groundbreaking adventure that sparked one of the most successful trilogies ever! When teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is blasted to 1955 in the DeLorean time machine created by the eccentric Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), he finds himself mixed up in a time-shattering chain reaction that could vaporize his future – and leave him trapped in the past. Powered by innovative special effects, unforgettable songs, and nonstop action Back to the Future is an unrivaled adventure that stands the test of time.

Inspired by the DeLorean car seen in the time-traveling adventure film franchise from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, the #10300 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 is taking Doc and Marty back on one more mission in the new “Brick to the Future” animated short. Premiering on 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. Overall measurements are 4.5in / 12cm high, 14in / 35cm wide, and 7.5in / 19cm deep. The set comes with 1,856 pieces and is recommended for ages 18+.

Sven Franic, LEGO Set Designer commented: “Since its release in 1985, Back to the Future continues to be a cult film and a favorite for generations of fans all over the world – including myself. I had so much fun reliving my favorite 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 #10300 LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine set is going to be available starting on April 1st, at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. Prices are as follows: £149.99 / €169.99 / $169.99 / 269.99 AUD / 219.99 CAD.

You might remember that LEGO released the #21103 LEGO The Dolorean Time Machine under the LEGO Ideas collection back in 2013. There were also a couple of small LEGO Dimensions sets with BTTF characters in 2016 (#71201, #71230), and the #41611 LEGO BrickHeadz Marty McFly and Doc Brown brick-built figures from 2018. But these sets were retired a long time ago, so it’s nice to see something new for BTTF fans!

    I’d forgotten how small the old Ideas Delorian was. Though it’s interesting to see yet another ideas set remade in a larger format. Of course, they remake Star Wars stuff in larger or smaller formats all the time, so I guess as long as they still hold the license to something, this shouldn’t be surprising.

      It looks better than the ideas set for sure. I would love to see a side by side comparison.

    So, we have to go back for a set to bring to the future. Lol! ( soon will be present).🤔. I do have the first DeLorean set. I never opened it I kept it in it’s box.

    The set looks amazing, but it’s just not my cup of tea. The figures are amazing, though.
