This review draws on official set details and published build reviews.
LEGO set 10300 is the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future, and it can be built as the car from any of the three films. It has 1,872 pieces, measures about 35 cm long and comes with Doc Brown and Marty McFly minifigures. It launched in 2022 and is still sold at retail, with a US list price of $199.99.
Quick Verdict
This is one of LEGO’s best movie vehicles. The three-in-one design, working features and movie details make it a great build for fans. A few cosmetic issues and a lot of stickers keep it just short of perfect.
- Good: Builds all three movie versions, fold-down hover wheels, light-up flux capacitor, gull-wing doors, great movie references
- Not so good: Doors won’t stay open, many stickers, slightly cloudy windshield, wheels look a bit oversized
LEGO 10300 Set Details
- Set number: 10300
- Pieces: 1,872
- Size: about 35 cm (14 in) long
- Price: $199.99 US list
- Minifigures: Doc Brown and Marty McFly (Part II outfits)
- Extras: hoverboard, plutonium case, Mr. Fusion, display plaque
What Stands Out
Three time machines in one box. You can build the original with the nuclear reactor, the Part II version with Mr. Fusion and hover conversion, or the Part III version with whitewall tires and vacuum tubes strapped to the hood. Swapping between them gives the set more life after the first build.
The features are fun. A lever folds all four wheels down into flight mode, the gull-wing doors open, the hood lifts and the flux capacitor lights up. Mr. Fusion even opens to reveal a banana and a can.
The minifigures are spot on. Doc and Marty come in their 2015 outfits, including Marty’s self-lacing sneakers, and they fit on the display plaque in front of the car.
Where It Falls Short
The gull-wing doors won’t stay open on display, which is a shame on a car known for them. There are a lot of stickers, including on Mr. Fusion. Brickset’s review noted a slightly cloudy windshield, a color mismatch on the hood panel and visible yellow Technic pieces in flight mode. The wheels and arches also look a little chunky compared with the real car.
Who Should Buy LEGO 10300?
It’s ideal for Back to the Future fans, car-set collectors and anyone looking for a gift for someone who grew up with the films. It sits nicely next to other large LEGO vehicles like the Ford Mustang and Porsche 911, which are a similar size. Sealed copies have often sold below list price on the secondary market, so it’s worth comparing a few retailers before buying.

Final Thoughts
LEGO 10300 nails what fans love about the DeLorean and gives you three versions to display. A few small flaws don’t take away from a set that, as Brickset put it, “approaches perfection.”
