Description

A car every film fan recognises immediately

The DeLorean from Back to the Future is one of cinema's most recognisable vehicles, and this LEGO® Icons set rebuilds its distinctive silhouette in 1,872 pieces. The long bonnet, gull-wing doors and exposed rear section are all present, so the model reads as the car from the films rather than a generic sports car. Anyone who has seen the trilogy will spot details that echo the story's different time periods, from the Wild West detour to the 1985 starting point, without the set needing licensed printing to make the reference obvious.

Building experience and part count

A part count of 465 unique pieces is high for a set this size, and it shows in how the build feels rather than in any single headline feature. Several sections open or move, including the doors and the bonnet, revealing smaller greebled details underneath that stand in for the car's fictional mechanics. Because these are built from standard LEGO® elements rather than one large printed piece, the construction stays varied for long stretches instead of turning into repetitive stacking, keeping a 1,872-piece build engaging from start to finish.

Two minifigures for a small film scene

Two minifigures come with the set, giving the finished model a small scene rather than leaving it as an isolated vehicle. Displayed next to the car, they turn a shelf piece into a miniature still from the films, which is useful if the set is going on show rather than staying boxed. Builders who prefer a clean vehicle-only display can simply keep the figures aside, since the car stands on its own without them and does not depend on the minifigures for visual balance.

What the colour palette tells you

Black, light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and red make up the main colours, a combination typical of an unpainted, brick-built vehicle aiming for accuracy without printed panels. The parts list on this page breaks down exactly which colours and shapes appear and how often, which is useful for anyone comparing this set with other LEGO® vehicle builds or hunting for replacement pieces after a mishap during assembly of such a detailed model.

FAQ

Is the Time Machine 10300 a good beginner set?
Not really — with 1,872 pieces and plenty of fiddly greebling, it suits builders who already have some experience. Newcomers may find the long, detail-heavy sections slow going.
Does the set include screen-accurate details?
The model captures the DeLorean's overall shape, doors and rear section using standard LEGO® elements rather than printed or licensed parts. It reads as the car at a glance without claiming exact accuracy in every detail.
Can the parts be reused in other builds?
Most of the 465 unique parts are common shapes in black, grey and red that turn up across other vehicle-style sets. Only a handful are unusual moulds created specifically for this model.
