I am mainly writing this review to balance out some of the inaccurate statements made by other reviewers here.

First of all, you don't need a magnifying glass to enjoy this model. It is much bigger than a 'matchbox' car, although they do make much bigger BTTF models, this Delorean is about seven inches long (as stated in the product description). The detailing for a model of this size is decent.

Second, this model does not light up or make sounds (as one reviewer claimed). There is a larger BTTFII model that does these things, but this is not that model!

My only complaints about this model are as follows:

First, the Mr. Fusion component comes as an attachment (it is such a tiny piece and it never 'came off' in the movie, so I'm not sure why they would include it as an attachment and not just make it a permanent part of the car... I think the reason is based on the fact that the BTTFI model came with a detachable lightning rod; which made perfect sense because the lightning rod was an attachment in the film. I suppose the manufacturers just wanted to continue that tradition of having an attachment).

Second, the stupid license plate says "OUTATIME". This is what the license plate said in BTTF Part I, and even then it only said it until the first time we ever saw the Delorean travel through time (remember it spinning on the ground after Einstein went forward one minute through time?). In BTTF Part II, Doc gets a license plate from the future and its a barcode plate! They really missed the boat on this detail and its disapointing!

Many people complain that the wheels don't turn down on this model; that is a valid complaint, but it doesn't really bother me personally. I just accept it as a consequence of the size of this model. If you want the wheels to go down, you'll have to get the bigger model.

My eight year old loves this toy and I am very impressed with the quality and will probably buy a second as a Christmas present.

Love this die cast model, and can't beat the price. All the details are there. My Delorean is part of my Christmas manger, it is a time machine.

Pros: Looks awesome displayed on my dresser. I start whistling the score to the movie everytime I look at it. Rolls smoothly over my girlfriend's butt when she is laying down.
Cons: Is not actually functional. Is too small to fit inside if it were actually functional.

I am extremely happy with my purchase!!! It is exactly what I was looking for. Best of all, it arrived very quickly!

I bought this for my son's 12th birthday. It was sturdier and of better quality than I expected.I used it as a prop on his birthday cake and he has been enjoying it ever since.

Totally awesome buy. I kept this in the office and it always sparked conversations. My six year old wanted to take it but there's no way I'm giving him this awesome toy!

Very good craftsmanship, but at 1:24, this is just under 7 inches. Unless you want to look at this car with a magnifier, or you're really into 1:24 scale trains and want a great piece to add to your collection, this isn't the car for you. Diamond Select makes a 1:15 scale set of cars, which is right around 11 inches. They are much more expensive, but it will look a lot better on display.

This car looks awesome. There is a small button in the back that you can press and the car lights up and makes noises, but the sound is really low. My son has had this toy car for a year now and he's busted it. He pulled off the fuel line and two of the wheels. I cannot snap them back on. If you are into Back to the Future and wish to use this car as a display item, then it's worth buying, but if you're buying this toy for a three-year-old for $30, which is what it costs at some Target stores and what it costs for us, then think about it because this toy busted within the year.
