Lego Back to the Future Deloreon DMC12

[retrolegends]

I thought I would chuck this up here and see if anyone is interested. After we built the Lego VW Camper van my son wanted something different to try so as he is a massive Back to the Future fan I thought this would be the ideal birthday present for him. Its made by an American company called Ichiban which apparently means First in Japanese and its a cracking model if not a bit small for the price. Its main features are opening doors, folding wheels as in the second film (A FLYING DELOREON?) and it even has a flux capacitor although I am not sure that works!

Anyway PICS-











Here's the web site.

LEGO are making their own version soon, its a Cuusoo project. Basically anyone can design their own models, get them on the Cuusoo site, if 10000 people support it, it goes to the review board and they choose models to make into kits for sale. So far there have only been three, a submarine, a satellite and a Mindcraft world, but the BTTF car is next up and should be out this year.

Excellent news Speedman, that'll be another one in his never Deloreon collection.

Sheepo's Land Rover is up for production too through Cuusoo, I think? I must have tried a dozen ways of building a BTTF DL as a kid, never managed to get one that would allow the wheels to rotate, and flip down, and be strong enough to hold the weight of the car on the ground.

I love Biff Tannens Ford on the link!

That Land Rover is brilliant, but will be v.expernsive if produced, has >10,000 votes now.
