This set is perfect for fans of Back to the Future and LEGO vehicle enthusiasts. The build is engaging and the final model makes a fantastic display piece.

B+
Investment Grade
⏳ Active
The original DeLorean Time Machine set has good investment potential due to its status as a retired LEGO Ideas set and its connection to a popular movie franchise. The set has maintained its value well over time, and complete, unopened sets command a premium on the secondary market. However, the release of the larger, more detailed 10300-1 DeLorean may impact the long-term appreciation of this set.

2 Minifigures Included

The set includes Marty McFly and Doc Brown minifigures. These are desirable figures for Back to the Future fans.
