“Universal, Amblin Entertainment and the filmmakers of Back to the Future are thrilled to have partnered with the LEGO team in creating this fantastic piece of kit,” said Bob Gale, co-writer and co-producer of the trilogy.
Mr Gale added: “In the film, Doc Brown spent nearly 30 years and his entire family fortune building his Time Machine. Luckily, you’ll be able to build this LEGO model in much less time and at much less expense – although your finished version can’t time travel!”
It’s been faithfully redesigned with details from the movie trilogy, including wheels that fold out for flight mode and time travel once you hit 88 miles per hour!
