Description

I’m beyond excited to introduce my LEGO MOC of the legendary Time Circuits Display from Back to the Future – my all-time favorite movie! This project has been a true passion, blending my love for LEGO with the magic of one of the greatest sci-fi adventures ever made. Seeing the control panel from Doc Brown’s DeLorean in LEGO form is a dream come true.

Building this MOC took time (pun intended). Every brick and sticker had to be perfect to ensure an accurate and detailed representation of the original. The seven-segment displays are built to perfectly replicate the movie prop, with the exact dates from the first test with Einstein the dog:

  • Last Time Departed: OCT 26 1985 01:20
  • Present Time: OCT 26 1985 01:22
  • Destination Time: OCT 26 1985 01:21

Why You’ll Love It

  • Perfect for Display: An iconic movie prop recreated with LEGO bricks, ideal for showcasing your Back to the Future fandom.
  • Screen-Accurate Details: Every label and number has been carefully designed to match the DeLorean’s Time Circuits.
  • Sticker Set Available: The build includes stickers to replicate the seven-segment display with high accuracy.
  • A Nostalgic Tribute: Relive Marty and Doc’s time-traveling adventures through this faithful LEGO recreation.

The Building Experience

I spent countless hours tweaking and perfecting every detail – much like how I used to rewind the VHS tape over and over to rewatch classic scenes from the movie:

  • Marty’s “Johnny B. Goode” solo (probably what made me start playing guitar!)
  • The Clock Tower scene
  • Marty’s “My name is Darth Vader” trick
  • The DeLorean’s first jump to 1955

This build is not just a LEGO model; it’s a trip down memory lane for every Back to the Future fan. Whether you love LEGO, time travel, or 80s movies, this Time Circuits Display will be a standout addition to your collection!

Future Additions

I’m considering making extra instructions for different dates – maybe even a way to customize the display to any time of your choosing (although I might run into some trouble with Nov 🤣).

Me

My name is Eduardo Sousa.

I am an Electronics Engineer, and I absolutely love LEGO. As a kid, I got at least one LEGO set every Christmas, Easter, and on my birthday.

Recently, in April 2022, because of a challenge from the marketing team at my last company, I built the FMQ logo in LEGO—and that’s how my passion for creating LEGO MOCs truly began.
