Im a huge fan of the trilogy of BTTF..

this diecast model. is amazing, incredible detail to the max. inside and outside.

this model, is from the Back To the Future 2. when the Delorean is capable of flying. the model is set to have 2 configurations.. the first as a regular car, and the second in flying configuration. great. great. great.

Love this car! I was waiting for years for SOMEBODY to make an accurate toy Delorean from the movie-especially one with the wheels coming up so that they toy flies. It's made of metal so it's pretty durable...until your son gets a hold of it and some of the plastic parts that are glued on come off. Oh, well. Live and learn. Still looks cool even after all of these years of having it. Still take it down sometimes and play with it, but my son plays with his Hot Wheels version from now on.

I purchased this as a "piece of flair" for my home theatre, and not only was I not disappointed, I was amazed at the attention to detail, and quality of construction put into this model. Both doors open, showing a well modelled interior complete with flux-capacitor, and time machine interface. The hood opens to show what would be the "trunk" of a de-lorean (not much to see in there, but it was nice that they made it open and close) and the best part is, there is a lever on the bottom of the car that flips the wheels down into "flying mode" like at the end of BttF I, and all throughout BttF II. The entire body is Die-Cast metal and gives it a good heft. I would caution that you do NOT buy this for kids to play with, though, as there are some fine detailed pieces, like the windshield wipers, which would break of very easily in a kids hands.

Based on the quality of this model, I now plan to buy all four versions of SunStart BttF De-Loreans ! Of the four versions of this model, if you only buy one, buy THIS one. It is the only one featured in all three movies, and is the most recognizable and iconic.

Ertl always delivers and spare no details. Included with this model are the flux capacitor, Mr. Fusion, and the time circuits to let you know where you were, where you are, and where your going. Ertl also added the bonus of flipping a switch to make the wheels pop out and simulate the Hover conversion as seen in Back To The Future 2. For added detail Ertl even made the the doors open straight up and the hood open backwards to reveal the trunk deck. The car is flawless and made from high quality brushed metal to recreate the original Delorean stainless steel finish.
I recommend this model for the collector or kid that enjoyed the movies.

The Back to the Future films are probably my favorite movies, and I've seen each of them more times than I can remember. I've been in love with the DeLorean since the first time I laid eyes on it, and this miniature is no exception. I opted for this version as it seems to me to be the most iconic appearance of the time machine across all three films. The detail is quite remarkable, down to the Mr. Fusion logo, though my only real nitpick is that it uses the "OUTATIME" licence plate instead of the orange and silver barcode plate that was in place throughout the second and third films. But as the "OUTATIME" plate is probably the more famous version I can let this slide.

The only other issues was one of the sideview mirrors falling off when I took it out of the box, and the difficulty is removing it from the not so
decorative "stand" it was attached to. It also seems to sit a little lopsided, probably due to the mechanism that allows the wheels to change position.

All in all, this is a very nice piece for any collector.

I dig this thing. Good construction, feels heavy, real metal, realistic and accurate parts. Best one I've seen for the size and price. If you you're a DeLorean and Back to the Future fan it's hard to go wrong with this.

I just bought the toy since I like to collect diecast models and the Delorean is on of the nice cars, specially in the movie, I don't ply as a toy, but collect, I'm an adult now. Nice seller the product came as discribed and it was a fast delivery

the delorean is a nice car and looks good with back to the future.stainless steal is heavy and good material. i guess the delorean would weight like a million pounds or so. it looked like the wheels were going to pop out any moment and the switch to turn it to hover mode it sometimes gets stuck. some wires are missing but i really don't care.and its a collectors item the size of the vents are good. details are super but they should have painted the flux capacitor blue or yellow because i could barely even see it. gull wing doors are good but it kind of opens a little to far. and of course its metal. by the time i got it it was heavy! it was 99% part 2 and 1% part 1 i would say that the licence plate says "outatime" like it says on part one.


:-) luv it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is really more for display than it is a toy. My son was very pleased with it since it was on his list.

This Back to the Future DeLorean is a wonderful movie accurate car. It's somewhat durable, not very, and it is very cool that the wheels come out so that it can fly.
