Holy one-point-twenty-one gigawatts! What the hell is a gigawatt? This Delorean DMC-12 V4.0 Custom Lego Set may not have any gigawatts of power and won’t reach 88mph, but it does have a flux capacitor.
Our DeLorean V2.1 was by far our most popular and highly praised item we have ever offered. But we decided it was time for something new, something sleeker and better built. Our Version 4.0 retains the same smooth hover-mode wheel system that made V2.1 so popular, however it is now wrapped up in a stronger frame while also allowing a lower height to more accurately match the real DeLorean DMC-12.
More time was spent designing the folding wheels assembly than everything else put together. These wheels simply don’t just flip down underneath the car – they extend out, flip down and then are pushed up into the wheel cavity in one smooth motion. Once you are finished flying, you can simply push the wheels back into position and start driving on solid ground – the wheel assembly is designed to automatically “lock” into position to prevent any jamming or slipping. You will receive ALL of the 287 BRAND-NEW parts needed, carefully packaged in resealable polybags. These parts are all brand-new official LEGO elements.
- You will receive a plutonium chamber attachment, a Mr. Fusion and a conducting rod that slides into the back of the car. Now you can replicate any scene from the first two Back to the Future movies!
- The gull-wing doors open up smoothly, allowing you to put in up to two minifigures (seats have to be removed – which is super-easy to do).
- The seats are adjustable, as is the steering wheel.
- Flux capacitor – fluxxing… Yes, now there’s one inside the cabin!
- Heavyweight gloss-cover color instruction booklet.
- Packaged in a sealed collector’s box.
- Dimensions (LxWxH): 6.5 x 3.75 x 2.5″ or 16.5 x 9.5 x 5.5cm
They didn’t spare any details. The flying Delorean time machine from “Back to the Future” has been replicated in the form of Legos, and custom-built to make Doc Brown mighty proud. Ichiban Toys’ latest version of the DMC-12 mimics the key features of the one seen on the big screen, including gull-wing doors, retractable wheels, and a conducting rod. The manufacturers also beautifully captured the look of the rectangular headlights in front and the big cubalicious twin exhausts in back. You can almost see vapors coming out in every direction.

Here are some cool non-Lego versions of the DMC to browse: Back to the Future III Rail Ready Time Machine and Back to the Future Delorean Replica.
There are so many versions of a Lego Delorean that are better than this one. Is this just an advertisement for ichiban toys?
Get creative with your own Legos, come up with something like this:
