The Brick Fan

“Despite some of the “issues” of the set, the LEGO designer did a pretty good job in capturing what Team BTTF had in mind in their CUUSOO project. There are some nice techniques used to make the DeLorean pop out such as the exhaust vents/propulsion system and the front and... More back bumpers.”

Brickset

“The DeLorean Time Machine is one of Cinema’s most recognized vehicles, to the point that it has been made a few times in the past, however this is the first ever attempt at a LEGO version and it is very impressive. You can make it resemble the original, the sequels or mix... More and match to make your own weird version. Both Minifigures are great, the one flaw is that you can’t seat both of them in the car at once.”

About Ideas Licensed

Licensed is where LEGO Ideas sets based on films, TV series, games, music and brands are filed. Each began as a fan design that reached 10,000 supporters on the Ideas website before LEGO reviewed it, and the fan whose design is made gets a share of the sales. Licensed ideas are harder to get made, because LEGO also needs an agreement with the owner, and many popular projects have stopped at that step.

Licensed was introduced in 2012 and currently consists of 43 sets. As of today, 21348 Dungeons & Dragons Red Dragon's Tale is the most valuable Licensed set with an estimated new/sealed value of $540.

Summary

Ideas Licensed The DeLorean Time Machine set 21103 was released in August 2013, retailing for $35, but has since been retired. New, unopened The DeLorean Time Machine sets are valued at $140, while used sets can be found for $50 in good condition.
