‘Back To The Future’ DeLorean Lego Set Is Coming
Did you ever want to own a DeLorean like the one in 'Back To The Future'? If you did, you probably weren't in luck, as the car is quite rare. (Not to mention highly impractical.)

It's probably going to be hard to out-nerd this one. It's Doc Brown, of 'Back to the Future' fame, against the Doctor from 'Doctor Who.'
This... is... such a tease. For a second there it really seemed like maybe we could get a hoverboard straight out of 'Back to the Future II' for the holidays this year. Or maybe just buy one at any time to have a "me day," but once that thing flew over water, we knew it was too good to be true.
While we've always wanted to play an unforgettable character in a legendary movie and get showered in adoration, we also realize there's a downside to becoming a celebrity known for one role. As Dave Chappelle attested to with his bit about Mickey Mouse harrassing him at Disney World, it can drive you crazy. For Tom Wilson - aka Biff Tannen - it drove him to create an all-encompassing card that he can hand to fans when the questions come flying his way quicker than a DeLorean.
While we are years away from hovering over traffic at 88 miles per hour, there's no harm in trying to bring to life one of the greatest creations in movie magic: the flying DeLorean car from 'Back to the Future.' That's exactly what a bunch of hobbyists in icy Russia did.
Twenty-three years ago, as 'Back to the Future, Part II' first hit theaters, kids everywhere got their first look at a toy from the future. It was the Mattel Hoverboard, the skateboard without wheels that uses futuristic technology to float inches above the ground. Rumors swirled in the '80s and '90s that the Hoverboard was real (rumors fueled by director Robert Zemeckis) but, alas, much to the disappointment of children everywhere, the Hoverboard was just another piece of movie magic.
But now, just three years shy of 2015 - the "future" of 'Back to the Future, Part II" - Mattel has finally announced the Hoverboard for sale.
At his annual Parkinson's Disease fundraiser in New York, Michael J. Fox recreated the iconic 'Johnny B. Goode' scene from 'Back to the Future.' Hello, McFly!
'Back To The Future' fans, rejoice! Not only has 2011 been the year of the Nike Air Mag, but thanks to a group of intrepid scientists, hoverboards may no longer be a crazy pipe dream.
Have you ever wanted to go back in time? You might not be able to actually time travel (yet), but if you have $600k lying around, then you can at least travel back to the 1980s (in your mind) in the original Delorean from 'Back to the Future.'
Musician/comedian Matt "The Mouth" Mulholland was able to recreate the entire audio track from the famous skateboard chase scene in 'Back to the Future' using only the power of his own voice.
Mulholland voiced the dialogue, the sound effects and the background music from the scene on different tracks and synced them to the video. As you can see (and hear) below, the results are very impressive:
