The set look pretty neat and isn't too expensive (compared to other lego sets). The car could have been done a bit better - check the comments in the link to see a much better looking version.
What do you guys think?
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour...your going over the speed limit.

The car could have been done better. $50 is kinda pricey

I recall the first set and thinking that it was marginal, and my opinion of this is even worse. I think it looks awful, personally. I appreciate what they are trying to do, but they should do it in a bigger scale as they are being seriously hampered by the detail needed with standard Lego bricks. And I am a big Lego fan.
The countdown-clock thingy on the dash is cool though.

I agree. The scale they were trying to hit was just too small to have the proper detail. Such a shame too, as you always see the incredible Star Wars sets they come out with and know they can do better.Originally Posted by Dangermouse

I wish they wouldn't call that thing a DeLorean, it's more like a space crab...
