Lego 'Back to the Future' DeLorean 2022: Release date, price, where to buy, pieces and more

On Thursday, March 17, Lego launched a “three in one reproduction” of Back to the Future Time Machine based on the iconic DeLorean DMC-12. Coming with an accurate representation, the set will allow users to showcase the model as any of the three versions of the DeLorean from the trilogy.

The Back to the Future DeLorean time machine will come as the original version which has the lightning rod as well. Meanwhile, the “2015-timeline” futuristic upgraded one with Mr. Fusion and hover capabilities will be the second form. The final one would be the 1885 look with the version showcased at the end of the third film. While the set provides options to display any of these three forms, all forms cannot be displayed in one unit simultaneously.

Lego also announced an animated short film, titled Brick to the Future, to celebrate the launch of the time machine set piece. The entire clip showcases the Lego version of Marty McFly and Doc Brown in a Lego-style animated diorama.
