Where we're building, we don't need roads. That's right, there's now a Lego model of a Delorean depicting the iconic machine from Back to the Future. In fact, you can build it in one of three ways to depict your favorite version of the vehicle from the trilogy films in the franchise.
The Lego Back to the Future DeLorean has 1,872 pieces. The completed model measures about 14 inches (35 centimeters) long, 7.5 inches (19 centimeters) wide, and 4.5 inches (12 centimeters tall. To be clear, you can't build all three body variants simultaneously from one kit, but you can swap pieces out to switch to your favorite.
