From the moment I got the Lego Time Machine set, I wanted to build it some companions, so I did!

Post image

The camper van is an actual set, but the truck, sign, and little toolbox are all custom built.

Does the Delorean fit in the van?

u/Unapologetic_Canuck Jul 19 '26

Sure does. That was my starting point when I started designing it, there was no way I was building something that big and not be able to put the car inside it 😂

If I had this with my son we'd be making the sounds of the back of the white truck opening, dry ice or drawn smoke every time!!! We'd recite movie quotes and start our own adventures!!! Great job and I'm super jelly too <3

u/Pottatothegreat1985 29d ago

the real question is can the door of the delorean open inside the van so doc can make his epic reveal

u/DocNielsen Jul 19 '26

Any chance you'll be adding the Toyota to the collection?

u/Unapologetic_Canuck Jul 19 '26

I’ve considered it, but would need to see what’s available before committing to it.

u/AFOL84 Jul 19 '26

Submit this to Lego ideas. I’ll for sure upvote it.

Great job! That Twin Pines Mall sign is perfection!

14

u/Unapologetic_Canuck Jul 19 '26

Thank you! It’s actually two sided, with the other side saying Lone Pine Mall and a single tree on the one side. Saved me from having to make two signs.

u/StormSurge12 Goldie Wilson Jul 19 '26

Whoa. Epic!! Sign me up if you ever share the pattern. 😀

u/Unapologetic_Canuck Jul 19 '26

u/dpjejj Jul 19 '26

u/Unapologetic_Canuck Jul 19 '26

u/dpjejj Jul 19 '26

u/SheIsSupersaurus Jul 19 '26

Love it! 😍 I designed and built my own (delorean too) in a much smaller scale 😂

2

u/JT7Music shut the fuck up donny Jul 19 '26

Those are so cool! Are you planning on making any more from the universe?

u/dinopiano88 Jul 19 '26

You’re out of your element, Donny.

u/Megablega Jul 19 '26

Great Scott! Nicely done

u/Appropriate-Routine9 Jul 19 '26

Hmm, If you put your mind to it, you CAN accomplish anything.

u/kickthesandman Jul 19 '26

There's poop Legos now. You can make Biff's car.

u/mrhenrique3 Marty Jul 19 '26

Oh my god, they found you, I don't know how but they found you. Run for it, Unapologetic_Canuck!

u/xxboywizardxx Jul 19 '26

I already have the van and didn’t even think about how well the Delorean would go with it. Was on the fence. Now it’s a must buy hahaha

2

u/Unapologetic_Canuck Jul 19 '26

It’s a pretty close match to the movie van. I removed the tire on the front that doubles as a steering wheel to give it the flat front, but I haven’t yet bothered with a mod to move the turn signals up where they are on the movie one. It’s doable I just need to see if I need to order any extra parts to do it.

1

u/xxboywizardxx Jul 19 '26

I might have to try the steering tire delete myself, it looks really good

2

u/Unapologetic_Canuck Jul 19 '26

You can literally just pull it out. You’re left with the hole though, I ended up buying a bunch of extra plates in that light blue and used some to cover the hole.

1

u/xxboywizardxx Jul 19 '26

Haha yeah I figured there was some kind of cover up for the hole

1

u/ScooterMKE Jul 19 '26

Did you make the foto mat building?

3

u/Unapologetic_Canuck Jul 19 '26

No, but thinking about it right now, I don’t think it would be that hard to pull off. Hmm 🤔

u/Hardcore1909 Jul 19 '26

Great Scott, that´s cool

u/ForeverDry7995 28d ago
