Going Back in Time!, December 28, 2013
By Penelope D. (Seattle, WA USA) :
This is one of the few LEGO CUUSOO sets developed so far--it's a set that a LEGO-lovers forum voted on to be made, so I knew before I saw it put together that it would be pretty cool. The mister is a huge Back to the Future fan, so I got this for him for Christmas and he was really excited to open it and has already gotten lots of comments on it from friends.
The Marty McFly minifigure is a highlight of the set, as well as the opening DeLorean doors and flip-able tires (you know, for when you go somewhere where you don't need roads). The car can be modified to mirror the car in each of the movies, including corresponding license plates.
I was really impressed with the box the set came in. It's not a typical LEGO box, but one that is sturdy and reusable for keeping your set pieces together. The building instruction book is bound, not stapled together, and has information at the front about the set and CUUSOO. All in all, this is packaged in a way that is much nicer and collectible in the long run. Needless to say, this set is going to the mister's office and not being added to the kids' LEGO collection.
Great Scott! This set is ready for 88 MPH!, August 1, 2013

The time machine needs to be rebuilt... 401 pieces to assemble to get back to 1985. It's got so many custom pieces, including a "flux capacitor," a time travel dash display reading 1958 (a reference to when the first Lego bricks were built), and a personalized California license plate that reads... OUTATIME. Mr. Fusion will supply you with the power to go Back To The Future! We just need to get the set and get building. If you want the official Lego Delorean, with the wing doors and fold-up wheels, this is the one to get. Including 2 minifigs, both Marty McFly and Doc Brown are ready for adventure!

It took us a bit of work to assemble the DeLorean, but aside from one missing piece (which I had to borrow from another set), everything went together well. One neat thing about this kit is that there are extra pieces so that you can construct the different versions of the DeLorean. The 1955 version has the contraption on the hood, the 2015 version has a set of red wheels and even a replacement license plate which is a barcode, along with a Mr. Fusion for the top. These small details made the kit a lot more fun to work with. It is somewhat challenging to put together but is not difficult. Recommended!
