Though no helmet was supplied, both were well detailed and both had alternative faces to add to the play value. You had Marty McFly in his 80’s outfit complete with his skateboard and Doc Emmett Brown in his white radiation suit. Note! To LEGO’s credit, they did offer a replacement piece after the initial release.Īlso, the set did supply us with some original printed pieces we’d never seen before, like the two license plates, time circuits and the flux capacitor as seen in the photo. The mini-figures too, seemed well represented. A prime example was the misprinting the words on the flux capacitor brick, it read “SHEILD EYES FROM LIGHT” when it should have spelled “shield”. Of course, cutting corners, a few mistakes were made. LEGO, in its haste to meet the market, left ‘teamwork’ out of this, and in doing so rushed the project and basically took control of what was finally produced. Unfortunately, that’s where the main problem arose. The designer of the original concept set was none-other than, m.togami and Sakuretsu, by all accounts a brilliant design team and given what these guys had envisioned, no-wonder it didn’t take long to reach the 10,000 votes required to make it possible. Though the set has since been retired, there is still quite a following out there. Instead, it was available for purchase at the San Diego Comic-Con on Jbefore its general release on August 1st. So, as the approval in December of 2012 was given, it would only be a matter of time before we’d start seeing the teasers. Take the “Time Cruisers” for example, would this prove any different? Like most, I was excited to see what LEGO would do with this set, as success with Time Travel themes in the past had proven a disaster with LEGO. “You’re trying to tell me, you build a time machine out of LEGO?” This was the line that got me hooked when the LEGO Ideas set (formally known as Cuusoo) #21103, LEGO Back to the Future The DeLorean Time Machine, released back in 2013. ![]()
