Let your mind drift back to the past. To a time when things were much simpler. Take yourself back to 2013. The Time Machine from Back to the Future was the fourth set to be released through the relatively new LEGO Cusoo program. With 401 pieces and two minifigures, it was the only set released through what would become ‘LEGO Ideas’ that year. The set was on the market for around 18 months. And it was gone.

Now, if you grew up in the 80s and 90s, Back to the Future is one of our cultural touch stones (even if the movie’s initial release date is now further back than the time jump that Marty McFly experienced in that first movie). The Time machine has been revisited in LEGO Dimensions as well as the more recent ICONs set – the earlier models are long discontinued, and the ICONS version takes up just a little too much space on a shelf.

If only we had some sort of time machine that would allow us to bring back a conveniently sized model at a sensible price. One that you would happily share with your kids.

Today, the LEGO Group have revealed the 77256 Speed Champions ‘Time Machine from Back to the Future.’ The set has 357 pieces and two minifigures. It will be priced at $AUD39.99/ $USD27.99/ 27.99€ / £22.99 and will be available on January 1 2026.
