Great Scott! If you’re a fan of brick-building and time-traveling, then the LEGO Icons Back to The Future Time Machine (10300) set is probably already on your radar – or maybe even in your collection. This isn’t just a LEGO car; it’s a meticulously crafted homage to one of the most iconic vehicles in cinematic history, packed with enough detail to make any fan shout “Doc!”
What Makes This Set Special?
Released as part of the premium LEGO Icons line, the 10300 set goes beyond a simple recreation. It allows builders to construct not just one version of the DeLorean Time Machine, but three distinct versions from the beloved trilogy.
- Part I: The original 1985 version, complete with the lightning rod conductor.
- Part II: The flying version with fold-down wheels and the “Mr. Fusion” home energy reactor.
- Part III: The rugged, white-walled tire version from the Old West, including the hood-mounted circuit board.
This incredible versatility means you can display your favorite iteration, or even build a second (or third!) if you can’t choose.
Key Features and Details
LEGO designers clearly went to 1.21 gigawatts of effort to capture the essence of the DeLorean:
- Authentic Details: From the opening gull-wing doors and light-up flux capacitor (a brick that actually lights up!) to the printed dashboard elements and detailed interior, no stone is left unturned.
- Minifigures Included: The set comes with fantastic minifigures of Doc Brown and Marty McFly, perfect for re-enacting your favorite scenes.

- Size: At over 4.5 inches (12 cm) high, 14 inches (35 cm) long, and 7.5 inches (19 cm) wide, it’s a substantial model that commands attention.
- Piece Count: With 1,872 pieces, it offers a challenging yet rewarding building experience for adult fans.
