There are a lot of Lego sets out there especially if you’re into building car models, but if you want to add a truly iconic vehicle to your collection, look no further than this Back to the Future set—which just so happens to be 20 percent off on Amazon right now. (We’ve seen this price go up and down recently, so grab it on sale while you can.)
This distinctive DeLorean can’t travel through time, but if you love the movie trilogy, the mini time machine will surely transport you back to your childhood. You’ll basically feel like Doc Brown as you construct it.
The popular set is designed for ages 18 and up, as it’s more of a collectible to display and not meant for heavy interactive play. The box includes 1,872 pieces, which—if you haven’t built a Lego set in a while—might be moderately challenging. But the clear step-by-step directions are easy enough to follow, and you’ll be yelling “Great Scott!” when you finish it in just a few hours.
The coolest part about this set is that it’s three vehicles in one. It comes with all the pieces and instructions you’ll need to modify the DeLorean to match the different versions seen in the film trilogy. Use the lightning rod and plutonium chamber for the original one, the Fusion generator and hover conversion to put it in flight mode, or the whitewall tires and circuit board for another option. It even comes with the memorable OUTATIME license plate—and of course, minifigs of both Doc Brown and Marty McFly.
The collectible set retails for $200, but you can get it on Amazon right now for just $160, with free shipping if you’re a Prime member. Remember, Lego sets get retired after a few years, so if you’re a fan and on the fence about adding this to your collection, grab it before it becomes impossible to find.
